Woman Calls Off Wedding After Fiancee Complains About Wedding Dress


This guy decided to take to Reddit and ask people whether or not he was in the wrong for arguing with his newly ex fiancee over the extravagant cost of a wedding dress. His biggest flop of all here was that he used her real name, which apparently resulted in people creating fake accounts pretending to be her. What a nightmare. Goes to show that sometimes you really can spare yourself a life of trouble by not airing out your dirty laundry online. 

1.

Text - AITA I (38 m) for telling my fiancee ( f 27)her wedding dress choice is way too extravagant and suggesting alternatives? Asshole sorry on mobile and throwaway as she's a redditor We are getting married in july of this year,the venue is booked and the wedding is pretty much sorted.

2.

Text - Emma has been researching dresses and has a little scrap book of lots of dresses she likes for idea's but is now looking to buy. All that's left to get is the bridesmaid dresses and her wedding dress. We jointly put aside 10 k each for the wedding, everything is paid and we have 6 k left over which i think could go towards the honeymoon on top of the honeymoon fund we already had.

3.

Text - We aren't the extravagant type at all, then comes the time for emma to pick her dress. I know everything is more expensive when it has the term wedding attatched to it what i wasn't expecting was an $950 dress plus $120 veil! I'm using my dad's old tux he used for his wedding to my mom,just had it taken in a little, Emma can't use her mum's dress as her and her mum both say the style hasn't aged well wich is fair.

4.

Text - I had a quick google around at dresses online and there were so many! and so many just like the one emma wants for like $50 to $100. I'm not trying to get her to cheap out on her dress but she will literally wear it once, one dress for over $1000 is just insane that would fund our honeymoon . I tried to show her some dresses i found on a reccomended app called wish and others on website's but she was having none of it. She is very slender but apparantly wants it specially fitted? It turne

Text - Wich isn't strictly true as we ate about to marry and our finances will be joined. Then her mom had to get involved, they offered to pay for the dress but it's not a case of not being able to afford it. It's a dress! there are identical one's online at a fraction of the cost.

6.

Text - I thought she would be ecstatic to learn there are identical dresses for a fraction of the cost but she was really angry and upset. AITA here? is there something i am seriously missing because after we argued about the dress emma has been Extremely cold towards me. Then yestersay she said if i want her to cheap out on her wedding dress on her wedding day that she needs to really consider if we are a good match for marriage. Im blown away that she would say that over a dress, i told her sh

Text - You're wearing your dad's tux, so you don't feel an immediate cost there, but I guarantee that suit wasn't cheap when it was new. You want her to walk down the isle in a cheap costume wedding dress while you wear tux. And she will look like a joke in that scenario. YTA.

Text - Cocoasneeze • 2d • Certified Proctologist [21] YTA. You are suggesting she get married in a $50- $100 dress, and then when her parents offered to pay for her dress, it's not even about the money for you. You literally want to control what she wears, an adult woman.

Text - FreeFrizzyGrizzly • 2d YTA no offense but you have no idea what you're talking about. I assure you the $100 dress is not the "same exact dress", it's a cheap knockoff (which is what the wish app is known for). Also yes, the dress needs to be fitted to her proportions, it would be very unusual for anyone to fit perfectly into an off the rack size gown perfectly with no alterations. $950 is actually not bad at all for a wedding gown including alterations. I understand if you have different

Text - ianunderfoot • 2d • Partassipant [1] Dude... YTA. To say it once, whatever, okay, she's heard your opinion. This is her day just as much as it is your day. We jointly put aside 10 k each for the wedding, everything is paid and we have 6 k left over she argued that she is using her own money She is, by your own admission. Her parents even offered to pay for the dress, because they wanted their daughter to have her day her way and clearly money is of no concern. That should have been the en

Text - Gumbo-Mumbo • 2d YTA The wedding dress may not be important to you, but it's clearly important to her. You didn't "discuss" this with her, you just told her: i told her she's like a toddler throwing a tantrum over a sparkly toy she can't have, that was a mistake as she left to stay with her parent's, who called to tell me i am much more than an asshole. Yeaaaah.

12.

Text - Dry-Expression • 2d • Partassipant [3] SHE CANNOT GET A SIMILAR DRESS FOR $100!!! Why would you think that?? You are SO WRONG. It is stupid and arrogant to think you can base what a dress is like off a picture. Those dresses you found online are often VERY cheaply made. $1,000 is standard for a dress and getting it fitted is the norm. She is reacting this way NOT because of the dress but because: you are being arrogant and stubborn about SOMETHING YOU CLEARLY DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT. She's

Text - LaurenMarieHart • 2d 3 1 Award YTA. You are a massive fucking asshole here, I can't get over it. As most people have clearly stated, the price she has found for the wedding dress she wants is not unreasonable at all compared to the average. The irony of you talking about how you saved 10k each of your own money, but then referring to her share of the 10k as also yours cus you'll be married in a few months is just ridiculous. You are not married yet, it is not your money you lunatic. Why o

Text - milee30 • 2d • Craptain [187] 3 3 Awards YTA. You say you don't want her to cheap out, but then you say you want her to buy a $50 -$100 wedding dress. That's cheap. That's cheap even for a regular dress. Those cheap dresses you're finding online will look terrible in person and are the source of so many disappointed women and jokes. Wedding dresses and their tailoring are expensive. $1000 is actually a low priced dress. Regardless of dress type, though, your reaction to her - calling her

Text - beachiestsnob• 2d • Partassipant [2] YTA. 1000 times over. I also thinking you're trolling, because no one can be as oblivious as you.

16.

Text - tch98 • 2d • Partassipant [2] YTA MASSIVELY - a $50 wedding dress is going to look like absolute crap, like it will have dodgy stitching and fake ass dimantes on it and yes, people will know it's cheap af, it will look tacky, and she will always look back on the wedding day feeling shit about it. The dress is so so so important. She put 5 Grand in, she can put $950 towards a dress she's probably been thinking about since she was 5 years old. Her wedding day is the one day she gets to be a

Text - Timmetie • 2d • Asshole Aficionado [17] i told her she's like a toddler throwing a tantrum over a sparkly toy she can't have YTA, Emma just found out why a 38 year old was with a 27 year old and what you think of her opinion. She's completely right by the way, a 50 to 100 dollar dress?! Wanna bet your tux would cost more to buy new and fitted? 1000 is on the cheap end. Also it is her money, you obviously have zero respect for her once she doesn't do exactly what you want her to do.

Text - queenoreo • 2d • Colo-rectal Surgeon [32] Wow, you just jumped right in there with an opinion not knowing anything about how wedding dresses, women's bodies or dreams actually work. A $100 wedding dress isn't likely going to be what she's always wanted unless her Fairy Godmother stops by. Alterations on a cheaply made dress going to cost money. Oh and, HELLO many women dream about their wedding day for years and no where does the dream end with “oh cool, I found one that kind of sort of l

Text - maraudingmarauderb • 2d YTA Do you want to see your bride's dress desintegrate before your eyes while she walks down the aisle? Because that is what you'll get if you make her buy a $50 wedding dress. The problem here is that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, you put in some half- assed internet search and assumed that you knew more about a topic than your fiancé who has been carefully researching her dress for months. It's her wedding and her money, if she wants to

Text - Madam_Cholet • 2d • Partassipant [3] YTA. How much do you think wedding dresses cost? That's not an extravagant dress, that's a wedding dress.

21.

Text - bitchy_badger • 2d • Asshole Enthusiast [7] YTA- only because you are clueless. $950 for a dress is actually on the cheaper side of things. And no one wants to risk their wedding dress by ordering online and having it be horribly wrong. Go search for online dresses gone wrong it is horrifying and hilarious. But not what you want for your wedding Edit: took the "soft" out of my YTA after reading OPs responses. Definitely TA definitely

Text - poetinahat • 2d • Professor Emeritass [74] YTA. Wedding dresses are expensive. No one wants a cheaper, "identical" knock off for their wedding dress, especially if they can afford the genuine one. It's her wedding. I thought you were going to say the dress she wants is like 3k+ or something. A thousand dollars for a wedding dress is not bad at all, actually. You should watch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC, or just research the average cost of wedding dresses. You'll find that your wife isn't

Text - TL;DR fiancee can get similar dress for around $100 with shipping online but wants to blow over $1000 at a local wedding dress boutique aita for saying to get a cheaper one online? EDIT: Emma found this thread, it was a mistake to post here and im sorry i posted our problems on reddit, iata
