According to researchers, the average wedding costs about $30,000 to $40,000. In fact, buying a wedding dress is one of the most expensive parts of the whole celebration, costing more than $2,000 on average. And believe it or not, brides actually lose sleep over what to choose and think about this very serious decision for years. Many couples budget for their dress, so the bride doesn’t want to get it wrong and wind up being regretful. You can probably imagine how annoyed and offended this bride was when her fiancé returned her chosen dress and replaced it with another one that his mom chose as she “always pictured her son’s bride in it.” As you can predict, this was a huge conflict between the bride and her future family and they are still at odds because of it. This Redditor shared her story, asking people whether she was right to lose her temper, no matter what the circumstances were. Here is what she wrote.
