Weddings are supposed to be a magical time filled with love and celebration, right? Well, not always. Sometimes, they can be a breeding ground for family drama, especially when it comes to what people wear. Our bride-to-be is facing a major dilemma: her partner’s cousin (who she can’t stand) has chosen a white, wedding-like dress to wear to their big day. To make matters worse, the cousin’s father is also her boss! Should she put her foot down and risk causing a rift in the family, or let it slide and potentially be upstaged on her own wedding day? Let’s dive into this juicy story!

Bride vs. Cousin: The Wedding Dress Showdown
Our bride-to-be is in a pickle: her partner’s 18-year-old cousin, who’s known for being self-centered and spoiled, has chosen a white, wedding-like dress to wear to their wedding. The bride is understandably upset, but when she brings it up with the cousin’s father (who’s also her boss), he admits they’ve tried talking to her, but she won’t budge. Now, the soon-to-be mother-in-law is suggesting she let the cousin wear the dress to keep the peace, but our bride isn’t backing down. Her partner agrees it’s unacceptable, but the family is threatening not to attend if the cousin isn’t allowed to wear the dress. What’s a bride to do? Should she stand her ground or let the cousin make a fool of herself? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
