“I had the wedding of my dreams and felt absolutely beautiful in my dress. It was something I had been planning for years, and I knew it was the one the moment I tried it on,” she shared.

The bride said her sister “Lily (25F) has always been kind of… well, needy when it comes to attention”.

“She’s never quite liked the idea of me getting the spotlight, especially with major life events like my wedding,” the woman continued.

A few months before the wedding the sister mentioned she would “love” to wear her wedding dress someday. 

“I didn’t think much of it at the time, so I told her that I was sure I’d be open to letting her wear it after my wedding, once I was done with it,” she explained.

But the problems began when the bride had her dress cleaned after her wedding.

“Lily came over to visit and immediately began asking me how soon she could take the dress for herself. She said she didn’t want to wait too long and that she wanted to ‘feel special’ in it too,” she continued.

“I told her that I wasn’t comfortable with that. It’s my wedding dress, and I felt like it was something so personal to me.”

She then accused her sister of trying to “guilt-trip me” by saying things like, “It’s just a dress, why not let me wear it too? It’s not like you’re going to use it again”.

“She even made a comment about how it’s ‘so unfair’ that she didn’t get to have a dress like mine for her own wedding (she’s not even engaged yet),” the woman added.

“I explained that while I loved her, I just didn’t feel comfortable with her wearing my dress. She could find something similar or buy a new one that she would make her own. She started crying and telling me I was being selfish and that I was making her feel left out,” she continued.

Most Redditers sided with the bride, and one person replied, “It’s your dress and your memory, she can get her own without trying to guilt-trip you”.

“And she’s not even planning a wedding! What’s she gonna do, go play mini golf in it?” another commented.

“Stop feeling guilty, you are falling into her trap. She’s trying to make you feel guilty. She is not even engaged yet. If she’s planning on having the dress hacked up and changed into a different dress, she needs to just get her own dress,” one shared.

“Where is she wearing it? To the supermarket? NTA and she needs help,” another joked.
