A bride-to-be explained on Reddit that her future mother-in-law called her "selfish" for declining to wear her wedding dress
She said this has caused tension between her future in-laws leading up to the ceremony
"She told me I can wear it, I just have to either lose weight or alter the dress. I told her no," the woman said
A bride-to-be has been left in a tense situation with her future mother-in-law over the choice of her wedding dress.
In an "Am I the A------?" post on Reddit, a woman revealed that she was called "selfish" by her future mother-in-law after she declined to wear her old wedding dress for the upcoming nuptials.
"Mother-in-law and father-in-law had always wanted whoever their [25-year-old] son married to wear the mother-in-law's dress," the woman wrote. She explained, however, that the problem was her future mother-in-law's wedding dress is a U.S. size 4, while she is a size 16.
"When it came time to give a definite answer, I told my mother-in-law, 'I can't wear the dress because of our size differences,' " the bride-to-be continued. "She told me I can wear it, I just have to either lose weight or alter the dress. I told her no. She called me 'selfish.' "

The woman said tensions have risen between her in-laws as a result, as her father-in-law is on her mother-in-law's side, while her fiancé is on her side.
"Am I the a------?" she asked on Reddit.
The majority of readers said in response that the mother-in-law was being "unreasonable" and "rude" while siding with the bride.
"Your mother-in-law is absolutely unreasonable to think a size 4 dress can be made over to a size 16," one reader replied. "I remain just jaw-unhinged [and] flabbergasted that she had the audacity to suggest that you even try to lose enough weight to go from a size 16 to 4!!!! That is just ... incredibly incredibly RUDE!!!"

Another person called the mother-in-law's wedding dress request "really creepy."
"If the bride asks to wear the dress, that's one thing. Hoping your own daughter will want to wear your wedding dress is understandable. Expecting your daughter-in-law to wear your wedding dress, that's weird," the person wrote.
A third person added, "It's your wedding and not a sequel of theirs, you should be able to to choose your own dress."
