So, I've posted on here before about how much my fiance and I are complete opposites and how that has really become an issue with the upcoming wedding.
The latest issue is this:
I've spent 6 months looking for a dress. The issue is I want a cheap white sundress. My fiance and his family does not feel that is appropriate for a church wedding (we need to have a church wedding). So I scoured the earth for a compromise and seeing that none existed, I was dragging my feet.
In comes my future mother-in-law. She took me to a bridal store and told me basically we weren't leaving until I bought a dress. Granted this was a store I had been to before and there were a couple dresses there I kind of liked, but nothing I really loved. I wound up buying one of the dresses I kind of liked.
I have nothing against the dress per se, but it's not one of my favorites and I greatly resent the way it was purchased. My mother wasn't there when I bought it. My maid of honor who has stood by me this last 6 months wasn't there when I bought it. If I sit back and think about it too long, I have to hold back the urge to take it out back and burn it.
I have a strict budget of 500 dollars, this dress was 400. It is non-refundable. I'm trying to figure out what to do. Maybe do some decorations to personalize it? Try to sell it? I cannot afford to get a second dress. How do I address my future mother-in-law after all this? I know she had my best interests at heart, she just wanted to end this 6 month ordeal. And again, I have nothing against the dress as is, I just hate the way it was purchased. (When I think about that day, I want to cry.)
Anybody have any ideas?
