Bride gets revenge on mum-in-law who tries to alter wedding dress behind her back

A woman has uninvited her future mother-in-law from her wedding after she tried to sabotage the bride-to-be's dress- by pretending to be her.

The bride and her partner have been planning the wedding for months and are footing a lot of the bill themselves, with some contribution from other family members.

While the future mother-in-law has not contributed anything financially she has made her thoughts known on their plans, and when she saw the dress, she hated the choice.

So she attempted to get the dress changed to a more "appropriate" one by pretending to be the bride-to-be on the phone.

In a Reddit post, the soon-to-be bride shared how livid she was with the relative and added she was given no other choice but to kick her out of the big day.

The woman, who remained anonymous, wrote: "My mother-in-law is giving her opinion on things as if she's footing the bill.

"My fiancé and I are absolutely sick of this. Every time she tries to give an opinion we politely shut it down and tell her we have it under control, but she just never gets the hint!"

Before she got sick of the relative, the bride-to-be had invited her dress shopping which proved to be a huge mistake.

"I have a curvy hourglass figure, and I found a dress that shows off my figure perfectly and makes me feel gorgeous. The dress is kind of revealing (low cut on the chest, and mermaid style) but it's nothing I'd be ashamed of my family and friends seeing me in," she wrote.

"My mother-in-law on the other hand hated the dress I chose. She made sure to express that to me multiple times. Last night my fiancé and I are cleaning up after dinner and I received a call from the shop I ordered my dress from. They were calling me concerned because apparently a lady (my mother-in-law) called them pretending to be me and wanted to switch the dress I chose to a more appropriate dress."

Thankfully, the sales person realised it was not the same number and no change was made. But both the bride and groom were absolutely livid and told her she would no longer be welcome at the wedding.

"She's been calling both my husband and I non stop trying to defend herself but I've had enough. I feel bad for my fiancé because he won't get to have his planned dance with her," she said.

In response, many sided with the bride-to-be and agreed her in-law was totally out of line but both her and her partner need to be on the same page about the decision.

One person wrote: "I would have done the same thing. But you and your fiancé need to be in lockstep on this."

Another stated: "This is his mum and his wedding too. He needs to be the one to make the final call."

A third penned: "If she's doing this before the wedding, what will she do at the wedding?"
