      Nice I’m so glad! Now to the alcohol, it can be an issue cause if a minor drinks then the venue or hosts can be legally in trouble if they get in trouble (like drinking and driving). However her behavior makes it clear she’s just a bitch, the way she was so demanding over the dress she didn’t pay a dime for and then refused to bring him. Disgusting and it must’ve been a beautiful dress.

      My wife and I were just discussing this type of behavior a few days ago. She was planning a getaway with some friends but it fell apart when one member of the group started pushing a more affluent member to pay extra. This in turn reminded us of another former friend who had tried something similar to my wife. This friend had thought it would be fun to organize a psychic to come to her home and invite all of her friends to have their fortunes done. At the end, she gave my wife the bill because we were 'wealthy'. We aren't rich and my wife doesn't even believe in psychics. Thankfully, we haven't seen her again.

    There is update to last story, I will copy here: I talked to my son about the suggestions you guys gave me and he agreed to sell the dress at market price. He calculated the price of everything and the value was quite high. We sent the proposal to my sister and she hated it. She said she couldn't afford it because it was too expensive and it should be a gift because "she is family". I responded by saying that it was too easy to say she was family to get a free dress, but not enough to include my son. She cried on the call and begged me not to ruin her day, but I didn't call because that to me was bullshit.
    At no point did she offer to just let my son go or apologize for it.
    And for anyone who said that maybe she's homophobic, I'm not sure, but I think who could be influencing her is her fiancé who is a Christian and has never been close to my son. However, I don't care if he's doing it or not. If she wants to exclude my son from this event then she will also be cutting ties with me.

    • @Mithandune
      @Mithandune ปีที่แล้ว +281

      Another update: Sorry for the delay, but it's been a busy week. Many family members skipped my sister's wedding and decided to have a party at a cousin's house instead of attending the wedding. My sister is obviously very upset and has cut us all off her social media. She got another dress to get married, but everyone thought it was cheap compared to what she was going to wear.
      And I would also like to inform you that someone already bought the dress that my son made, it was for a good price and that will help him cover his college costs.
      There's not much to say, but I'd just like to make this final point to let you guys know.

    I think that last story needs a higher score. That's an unbelievable amount of work that woman threw upon a minor. I read the original story and Dabney cut some stuff out, that was a VERY expensive dress. Incredible materials and intricate design, they went all out. This dress would have been worth THOUSANDS. Not to mention the man hours lost in the creation of it. 50 drawings is insane and I personally would have refused at that point. No, she gets at least, AT LEAST, a 4/5 score. I'm happy that in the end, they didn't give her the dress and instead sold it.

      @@wmdkitty The sister does indeed have the right not to invite him, but that decision also rightfully comes with negative consequences for her considering this teen literally made her dress for her and its blatantly obvious she just wanted to take advantage of him for a free dress. She was incredibly ungrateful and cruel, and her rule also meant he was the only family member excluded from the wedding since he was the only minor in the family. Her alcohol excuse doesn't hold water considering most dine in restaurants sell alcohol and don't exclude kids. In most situations, I side with people who don't want kids at their wedding, this situation is different because this witch didn't even bother to mention the childfree rule to them and still wanted this teen to do this massive wedding related favor for her, the dad had to directly ask her last minute before she even told them. She wasn't the least bit sorry either, didn't change her mind, and its obvious she knew what she was doing for months; instead she put on the crocodile tears and tried to guilt trip them into giving her the dress anyways. She was probably hoping that by the time her family learned about her childfree rule, the dress would already be in her possession and they wouldn't be able to do s*** about it.

OP and the friend are on good terms after learning about all that.

      Yup. And speaking for myself, in a similar situation I'd probably be a lot happier offering to help out every now and then if there weren't this underlying feeling that I'm "giving the mouse a cookie," so to speak. She's already been thrown into a living situation that she didn't have any say over -- after the trauma of a bereavement, no less -- and now she's got someone trying to encroach on her life and personal space even more. If it were me I would need to feel totally secure in my ability to set boundaries and have my own space before I could stop feeling defensive about maintaining some semblance of control in my life and could start feeling comfortable giving and helping out. But instead she apparently doesn't even have a lock to keep her step-siblings out of her room when she's not there. The second-hand stress I'm getting from that situation is palpable.

Or 3: the kid doesn’t go and no dress. Any way the kid wins by having a wonderful dress to sell, the money for the work, or seeing his work being used.

    I was wondering how someone wearing a wedding dress at someone else's wedding *wouldn't* be a huge asshole but apparently the fourth story threads that needle real damn well. I think the now husband does deserve a slightly higher score if because he had a chance even *before* the party to say 'Hey, here's some restrictions on costumes' and could've avoided this very easily. But part of me thinks that the relationship might not last too long for the newlyweds going by how the hubby hid the news of the wedding from OP and lying to his wife about the whole thing.
    Edit: Quick one, there was an update on the story. OP felt bad, his friend unblocked him after asking around, and the two talked about the whole incident. Turns out she had a nasty fight with her new husband and found out he apparently straight up hates OP and thinks he's going to steal his GF/his friend away from him for some reason and tried to use the wedding incident as a reason to cut him out of their lives. The friend has apologized a lot to OP for her reaction and is currently staying at a friend's house until her husband is ready to talk about everything. She does recognize the red flags he's flying but she's unsure how to approach it but OP mentioned probably not updating after this.

    Re: Surprise Wedding: I had something similar happen to me. I received an invite to a block party and cookout from my mom and her long-term boyfriend. I was also tasked with driving several hours away to pick up my cousin for this block party. I have complex PTSD, which can make driving very difficult. It was undiagnosed at the time. My aunt on my dad's side decided to accompany me, because we were going to an unfamiliar location quite far away to try and meet up with my cousin and bring her back. My car decided, in the middle of this scary city, to suddenly start blowing the horn and not stop. This made me quite popular with all of the other drivers, and my mental state got to such a point I had to pull over, was physically ill, and my aunt had to take over driving. On top of that, my cousin told us the wrong place to meet up, and then we wound up driving all over town trying to find her. I should also mention she brought her baby with her, who was extremely colicky and would not stop shrieking at the top of her lungs. I'm not mad at the baby, I just mentioned this to illustrate how much noise and anger and rage was all around me at that point. Oh, not to mention my cell phone was blowing up with angry calls and texts about where I was. Needless to say, it was unpleasant.
    We finally pulled up in front of my house (I was renting across from my mom's place at the time) and my aunt and cousin went across the street while I tried to get my car to shut up. Someone came running out and screaming at me to hurry the f up, that "they got married." Huh? Who? What? Married? I was understandably confused, but it turns out that my mom and stepdad decided to get married and used this block party as a cover. And then when I was late and having car trouble, while on an errand that THEY sent me on, decided to just get married without me. And then they were mad at me for not being there or dressed for a wedding, and when I explained I didn't know that they were getting married, that the invite was just for a cookout and block party, they said that the line about "joining them for this special occasion" should have been enough for me to know it was a wedding. I would also like to note that in the 10 or more years that we lived in that town, no one ever had a block party, so something like that WAS considered a special occasion.
    I've never forgotten or forgiven them. I remained in contact (in fact, I now live with my mom, first stepdad passed away), and I still love them, but this was and still is something that hurts me deeply.
    You can't plan a surprise occasion, not explain what the occasion is to anyone, and then somehow expect them to behave and dress the exact way you want them to for said occasion. Also, surprise parties are a thing. Surprise weddings are not. And for good reason.

    Agree that OP was entitled to call it like she saw it when SIL deliberately sprung a huge bill on her without notice or asking. That’s not a ‘gift’. That’s manipulative, socially leveraged theft.

    First Story, YTA: Easiest judgement to make. I wonder, who needs that space more? A 5 year old who isn’t disabled or a LITERAL disabled man in a wheelchair, hmmmmm? 🤔. Sarcasm aside, obviously the disabled man. OP needs to stop acting entitled, she and her daughter can stand on that bus until they have to get off; I have no doubts that man would LOVE to be able to stand on that bus but unfortunately can’t
    Second Story, NTA: This is a genius way to get out of being forced to babysit ur out of control step-siblings. OP's dad didn’t believe her at first so OP had to do what was necessary to get him to believe her
    Third Story, NTA: How did OP take things to far?! SIL randomly sprung on OP the bill for the dinner, OP called her exactly what she is, and OP paid for her food and left. Why should OP have to apologize to "keep the peace" when OP was basically almost forced to a "wedding gift" that she doesn’t want to pay.
    Fourth Story, NTA: OP cosplayed as a fictional character because her friend said there was no specific theme. Then no one bothered to tell her that she showed up to the ACTUAL wedding, and when OP asked if she should change or not the husband said it was fine. This all sounds like horrible communication on their part, not OP's part. OP needs to find a better friend than this
    Fifth Story, NTA: So basically OP's sister used her nephew for a free dress (she didn’t pay for anything, OP did). If she wants to not invite her nephew, fine but she isn’t entitled to the free wedding dress that same nephew made

It turns out that all this time, the groom actually hated OP and was trying to find a way to get his wife to end her friendship with OP. Why? It's because he fears that OP is going to steal his wife from him. Yeah, it's similar to the story about OP hating her husband's female friend just because she used to married to him and remained friends with him, as if a guy and a girl can never be just friends at all. And so, he set up his wedding and the costume party to get OP to wear a wedding dress. This is why the groom said it's fine for OP to keep on wearing the dress. OP and his friend are on much better terms now.

    As a disabled woman it actually angers me seeing Karen’s like this on public transport. The spots at the front of the bus are specifically reserved for us, the disabled. I’ve had folk try and get my to move in the past but I’m always extremely rude and loud
    “Are you asking me to move from the disabled seat when you’re able bodied?! That’s RUDE”
    But LOUD, loud enough for the whole bus to hear so they can be rightfully shamed for their behaviour. Only had it happen a few times, the only other times I’ve had Karens try (and fail) to harass me about disabled seating is because apparently I’m “too young to be disabled”, “you don’t look disabled” or I’m “faking it”. They get the same loud attitude, I’ll ask them “are you demanding I prove my disability because you want seating for the disabled?” Or “but you don’t look disabled, you just said that to me and I have a walking cane, so what’s your excuse lady?!?” or simply “stop harassing me for being disabled and using disabled seating, leave me alone”
    It’s the only way these Karen’s learn, they have to be shamed so they remember that experience forever so they never repeat that behaviour. Like who TF demands a disabled man “just move” when he’s wheelchair bound, where moving is difficult AF for him, all because “I don’t wanna stand on the bus”. Lady, we would love to be so mobile that standing on the bus was an option, my body is entirely crippled and I rely heavily on a walking cane, I’d love to be able to stand on the bus without feeling like I was gunna collapse, but she’s complaining anyway because “i’M a MotHeR”.

    up[date on last story:UPDATE:
    first I would like to thank all the comments and suggestions, I really didn't expect my post to resonate so much.
    I talked to my son about the suggestions you guys gave me and he agreed to sell the dress at market price. He calculated the price of everything and the value was quite high. We sent the proposal to my sister and she hated it. She said she couldn't afford it because it was too expensive and it should be a gift because "she is family". I responded by saying that it was too easy to say she was family to get a free dress, but not enough to include my son. She cried on the call and begged me not to ruin her day, but I didn't call because that to me was bullshit.
    At no point did she offer to just let my son go or apologize for it.
    And for anyone who said that maybe she's homophobic, I'm not sure, but I think who could be influencing her is her fiancé who is a Christian and has never been close to my son. However, I don't care if he's doing it or not. If she wants to exclude my son from this event then she will also be cutting ties with me.
    And for those who are asking for a photo of the dress, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my son didn't agree and unfortunately I won't post it because of that.
    If anything else happens I'll let you know, until then, thank you all!

    Last story: The bride has the say-so of what happens at the wedding including who is invited. HOWEVER, as OP stated, her son is 17 and the only child in the family. It would be one thing if there were other children who couldn’t go but it was only OP’s kid. The bride had the audacity to ask him to make her wedding dress too and she doesn’t even invite him to the wedding. How ungrateful can you be?! I saw that people posted the update and I’m glad OP’s son sold the dress. He deserved something after all that hard work since his entitled aunt wouldn’t even give him the time of day to invite him to her wedding or to help cover costs.

    Rslash's solution to the corpse bride story is perfect and if I ever decided to do something like that that's what I would do. Ive seen other commenters say that the new husband didn't like that friend and was intentionally trying to get them in trouble, which would explain the "why did you tell her I said it was okay?" He didn't think he'd get caught trying to ruin a friendship. But even if the husband didn't like him, why didn't the bride have anything to say? Where was she when the guests arrived? Did she not think to say something to op when he arrived? I wanna know where this woman was that she couldn't greet guests entering her home.

      Well, another bonus of this tactic is it seems that it finally knocked some senses into OP's father, whom before this, he did not have OP's back at all and OP had even tried telling him about Josie, but he would brush it off as if OP is just unhappy about having a step-mother, and Josie would often twist up OP's words to make it seem like that. Basically, those Reddit stories about the father giving into the step-mother's demands and taking over the family and as a result, the father stops believing in his own daughter because to him, everything the daughter says to him about the new life is just her trying to convince him break up his relationship with his new wife because she simply hates her for no reason.

    The last story has a really simple solution for the Entitled Bride: She wants the dress? Just bill her for it. Time spent, the 50+ designs, all the alterations, cost of material... Just bill her for all of it and when she pays for it she can have it! Up charge the HELL out of it too. A wedding dress that can bring a mother of the bride to tears usually costs, what, a couple thousand? Several thousand?
    Make her pay, both literally and metaphorically, for trying to exploit your son and then leave him out.

    The last story, I think you're being too lenient with your score for the bride. Only 1.5? She asked him to make her a dress, rejected 49 designs, contributed nothing but her opinion (OP even paid for the materials), and then doesn't invite him simply because 'he's a minor'? She should get at least a 3. Maybe a 4.

    about the dress story, nobody except OP saw all the work and effort his/her son put into making the dress. It sounds like going beyond normal work to make everything perfect. To be left out for being 17 (probably close to 18) is unreasonable. I would be super sad if whoever made my dress wasn't invited. He also probably didn't even get paid for his time worked or the dress + 500 changes.

Thankfully I am getting so much better that I am getting a walker (don't know if that's what you call it in englisch... you know the thingy elder women use) so I can train walking at home after being a parablebic for such a long time.
    Everytime someone says that sitting in a wheelchair has so many positive aspects and that they would gladly sit the whole day, I just ask them one thing.
    "Ok so do you wanna trade my condition and wheelchair for your healthy legs?" and then you can just hear the rusty cogs starting to move and squeek in their heads.
    Standing and walking is such a nice feeling and it makes me feel alive again, so yeah that person would really love to be able to walk again. Some would even kill just to be able to move a muscle.
