Bride stands her ground on $400 wedding dress, fiance outraged
A bride-to-be is standing her ground on her dream wedding dress, despite her fiance’s demand to return it and purchase a cheaper one. The $400 dress, which the bride purchased with her own money, was deemed a waste by her fiance who believes weddings and everything that come with them are just part of societal laws. The couple got into a heated argument over the dress, with the fiance accusing the bride of being financially irresponsible and childish. He even left and gave her an ultimatum to return the dress within a certain timeframe. The bride refused to comply with his demands, stating that every bride deserves to look their best on their big day and that she worked hard to purchase the dress of her dreams. However, her fiance continued to ignore her messages and calls, leaving their relationship in limbo. What do you think? Is the bride being unreasonable or is the fiance being too controlling?
