Heated Argument Ensues After Man Returns His Future Wife’s Dream Wedding Dress, Claiming She Was Just "Wasting Money"
"Ever since I was young, I dreamed of having my own beautiful wedding dress. I can afford it."
Even though weddings are a beautiful thing, their preparation can turn into something lethal, potentially starting a feud. There is so much pressure, stress, and so many decisions one has to make just to make the big day worthwhile.
The bride and groom actually go through so much for what is known as the most significant day of their lives. The very definition of that day has already become a strain.
The story for today comes from a 29-year-old woman who has been wedding planning with her husband-to-be, and it was all working out fine until things went bad. And guess the reason why? Exactly, the wedding dress.
"This might sound cliché, but ever since I was young, I dreamed of having my own beautiful wedding dress. I can afford it, but my soon-to-be husband thinks it’s not okay to waste a couple of thousand on a dress I’m only going to wear once," the OP wrote in a post on the r/AITA subreddit community.
Nevertheless, the OP went ahead and purchased her dream wedding gown. Then, she returned home one day to find her wedding gown missing from the closet.
Normally, the OP would freak out, but then she found out that her fiancé was the one who returned the dress and took a refund. Oh, it gets really heated from this moment on, but I’ll put a stop to it here and allow you to read the entire story below.
Man Returns His Future Wife’s Dream Wedding Dress Without Her Knowledge
Emma BausoExperts will say that there’s no right financial budget for a wedding dress. Everything depends on you and what you can afford. While one individual can spend a thousand dollars on a wedding dress, another person might consider other options.
The OP was not happy with what her soon-to-be husband did, and she definitely showed it. Read how the whole story unfolded below.

Planning a wedding is already enough of a headache, not to mention when your soon-to-be spouse is adding to your worries. There’s nothing wrong with purchasing the wedding dress of your dreams, so long as you can afford it, but the OP’s fiancé chose not to support her and instead ran to his mom for support.
