Picture this: You’ve got a beautiful, custom-made wedding dress from 30 years ago, stored away as a treasured memory. Your daughter, who has a different body shape, will never wear it. But then, your drama queen niece gets engaged and wants to wear it for her big day. Oh, and did I mention you can’t stand her? Now, you’re stuck in a dilemma: Should you let her wear the dress or refuse and face the drama?

The Dilemma

Family Feud: The Battle for the Wedding Dress
Our protagonist is faced with a tough decision when her drama queen niece, known for her attention-seeking antics, requests to wear her 30-year-old custom-made wedding dress. The niece, who just got engaged, is on a budget and has the support of the protagonist’s mother, who even insulted her own granddaughter in the process. Our protagonist loves the dress but isn’t sentimental about it. However, she can’t stand the thought of her niece wearing it and doesn’t want to deal with the drama if she says no. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this sticky situation…
