A wedding and all its trimmings can be a very special thing for a bride-to-be, and anticipating getting to wear a dress that has been passed through generations is a very special honor. To get to wear such a unique item in front of your loved ones, knowing its individuality and the romantic gesture it holds with it, would surely be exciting.
For one quite excited Redditor by the name u/Both_Ad8736, an unfortunate happenstance fell upon her dress-to-be after her her sister-in-law, Kate, somehow managed to finagle her way into it and spill whatever she was sipping on all over it. Shocked and taken aback by the scene, our original poster (OP) made a pretty drastic decision to exclude her from the wedding to come. Read about it below and take a look at what some members of the “Am I The A-hole?” community had to say.
OP asked: “AITA for uninviting my SIL from my wedding after she tried my gown on and accidentally damaged it?”
i have a SIL “Kate” who I’ve never gotten along with. She is really possessive of my mom, kind of competitive, and sometimes I think my mom likes her more than me.
Obviously OP and her sister are extremely close. Perhaps there was some malicious intent behind what was to happen next..
I’m getting married soon and will be wearing my mom’s gown. It is beautiful, custom made, and has a lot of small beading and details. I’m in love with the dress, so I was devastated when my mom reached out and told me that the dress had been damaged due to Kate having a seizure (she has epilepsy) while trying it on and spilling something.
Epilepsy complicates the situation a bit…
Now to be clear I do not blame Kate for having a medical condition. The seizures are pretty well under control, so I’m sure it was unexpected and scary, but I was confused about why she was wearing it. My mom told me she told Kate to put it on so she could take pictures of her. I was grossed out and confused. My mom tried explaining that it was sentimental as it was her dress first, and she wanted to see Kate in it. She said she brought it to the best cleaner and will pay whatever, but I’m still pissed and feel really violated.
Seems like Mom may have been the pot-stirrer in this situation
I decided that i don’t want Kate at the wedding, because I feel so creeped out that she put the dress on. My mom says I’m being unfair as it was her dress first. Kate called me “psycho” and said it’s okay because my mom told her to, and my brother is upset and thinks I’m being cruel because the seizure wasn’t her fault.
With that context, OP asked if she was the “A-hole” for un-inviting Kate from the wedding. Redditors in the comments seemed to think she was not:
