What in the world??? "Yeah, Karen. It wouldn't be the dress she picked out originally. You told her she had to pay or it would be put on the rack. She told you to put it on the rack. She had to scramble because you went back on your word." 🤦♀️
My mil had no input when I tried to include her early in in wedding planning. She literally said she would have no idea about any of that. Didn’t come to things, share ideas, or give feedback. TWO MONTHS before the wedding she blew up at me because she didn’t like something that her son and I decided on. Told me she guessed she was just supposed to show up wearing brown and keep her mouth shut, but that things were being done wrong.
She’d probably just left the bar when she offered the dress as a gift. Then Zion learned she’d given a 6,000 dress away (didn’t matter if it was to future DIL) and threw a fit. Rum soaked memory lapse on MIL part.
Get this exactly in writing with who is paying for things in first. Even before one shops even if any family member offers.this. One can just send a text or email saying. I am just confirming in detail unerstanding of what was said when we talked . In a exact clear and understanding writing. So all is on same page and say thanks for the contribution of this gift.
This was pure manipulation from MIL- to shift an expensive dress from her store on the false pretext it was free- so the bride picked one she couldn’t afford otherwise- then demand payment at the last minute - when she thought the bride and/or her family would be forced to cough up the cash. Kudos to Bride and BrideMom for not falling for it.
Make sure you thank the store owner who got you the dress you actually wore during the reception. I bet that aunt is still going to try and manipulate the situation to make people think she gifted the dress.
MIL IS A PIECE OF WORK. "I let you shop in my shop is my contribution." Her son must be so proud.

Well yes since you said nothing before that's exactly what I expect
Wow. This MIL is evil.
Just wow to MIL.
Part 2 where groom finds out what his mom did and kicks her out of the wedding
I agree!
And whole thing was a plot to try to get the wedding canceled by waiting until the last minute to bring up the cost.
Thats what I wanna see!
Spends too much time at the bar and forgets that she put the "gift" dress back on the rack.
My take from this was,, she wasn't paying for the dress, she was paying for alterations, if any were needed.. But,, BIG lack of communication though..
That's exactly why I'd ask to be clear.

The color of the green top that you are wearing is so lovely on you, must be the way it plays up your skin tones!❤❤❤❤
Awww thank you!!

Not sure as a bride I would want to be told the dresses are best sellers.
