Most people want their weddings to go according to plan, and that is why a bride was left frustrated when her mother-in-law kept on going against her wishes. The groom then took to Reddit and explained that his bride-to-be didn’t want anyone outside her bridal party to see her gown before she walked down the aisle as she wanted to surprise him and her father!

“When the moms and bridesmaids picked out their dresses my mom insisted on wearing white so my wife said F this and put the whole wedding party in white. Including the mothers and grandmothers,” he wrote. “My mom, a social media wh*re, kept trying to get my wife to post her dress for her friends on Facebook because she said everyone wanted her to do it,” the groom said.

“She was enraged that she didn’t even get to publish images of my wife trying on different wedding gowns and that she couldn’t even post the rejects.” My wife said no, and my mother was furious.” On the wedding day, 30 minutes before the ceremony, the groom’s mother posted images of the bride’s outfit on Facebook, destroying the surprise and leaving the bride feeling betrayed.

“My wife wanted to surprise her father just as much as I did by giving him the first glimpse of her gown as he walked her down the aisle.” She even had two photographers stationed so they could capture the first glance. “This was obviously important to my wife,” the husband wrote. “Because her father saw himself tagged in the photo, he instead saw his daughter on Facebook.”

“Due to last-minute preparations, my wife didn’t find out until after the wedding.” People on Reddit were quick to respond, with one saying, “You’re starting your marriage right: establishing that your wife is your priority over your mother.” It takes guts to stand up to your family, and you did it admirably.” “It was a basic request, yet she couldn’t honor it,” wrote another. And I’m really smitten with your bride.”
