Choosing a wedding gown may be a challenging undertaking for a bride. Most brides try on between four and seven dresses before deciding on the right one, but in other situations, it might take hundreds. In many Western countries, brides opt to wear white on their wedding day, but who says it has to be mandatory? After her soon-to-be mother-in-law insisted on wearing white, one woman shared that she chose to vary up the color palette during her wedding. Read the complete tale of the demanding mother-in-law below, and tell us in the comments how you would have responded in this circumstance.

My husband is the only child of a divorced mom, who has heavily relied on him for emotional support, yardwork, chores, anything you would rely on a husband for. According to my husband she’s hated every girlfriend he ever had, and I am no exception. I am stealinggggg her babbbyyyyyy.
I have always been polite to her and ignored her passive aggressive jibes. This woman has bought the perfume I wear after asking me what it was, bought the same car in the same color as me 1 month after I got mine, insisted we spend Valentine’s Day with her, asked my husband why he doesn’t take her on vacations, you name it.
I made the mistake of allowing her to come bridal gown shopping with me and my mom. There, she found a white wedding dress and insisted it was a perfect Mother of the Groom dress. I was horrified, my mother was horrified, the sales lady was horrified. We tried to convince her it was not appropriate and asked her to respect my wishes. No dice. She said “you are being a bridezilla and forgetting it’s my special day too.” I went home and told my fiancé (now husband) and he tried to reason with her and she would not have it.
So, I decided we were changing things up. I picked a blush pink wedding gown without telling her, had my bridesmaids pick white dresses, and had my mom pick a white dress. We didn’t tell her any of this. She showed up the day of the wedding and had a shocked Pikachu face and was beet red.
Honestly, the wedding was beautiful, it looked really stunning to have a white bridal party with white and pink florals and me in a pink dress. She had a scowl on her face the whole time.
The day after the wedding she called my husband and lectured him about how mean we were to her and we didn’t let her feel special and we took away her shine. Everyone I know is on my side, including my FIL (MILs) ex, but my husband’s aunt said we bullied his mom by doing this. Did we?
What do you think about this situation?
