Bride refuses to wear her mother’s wedding dress despite a promise she made to please her years ago, mom breaks down and won’t let it go: ‘I don’t even want a white wedding’ – FAIL Blog

Redditors stood with the OP here and supported her decision not to use her mother’s dress. Honestly, I think any advice we could give her won’t really help her out since the problem here is the bad relationship she has with her mother. The best approach is to talk to the mom calmly, remind her that the promise was made decades ago, and that she’d love to go dress shopping with her.
