A bride is mad at her mom for asking her if she can loan out her wedding dress to a friend.
“Last night my mom texted me to ask if I even wanted my dress anymore, she said she has this friend who’s getting married and needed a dress and asked me if I would let her have my dress, and she said she tried it on and it even fit her,” she writes.
“I told her absolutely not, that this was something special to me and that I would bring it back with me next time I go see her,” she continues. “She goes on to try to convince me that the dress is just something materialistic and that I could at least just let her borrow it because they don’t have a lot of money for their wedding.”

The bride says that while she’s told her mom “no” multiple times, she continues to ask her.
“At this point, I’m getting annoyed and just keep telling her no,” she writes.
“She says it would just be for one day and that she will get it tailored for me afterward, and that there’s no point in just letting it waste away in my closet,” she adds. “Now I’m just annoyed with my mom and I tell her to go find one at the Goodwill if she’s so desperate and NO her friend cannot have mine.”
She goes on: “My mom has always tried to convince me to do things I don’t want to do and when I was younger she would always get her way, now that I’m older I’ve learned to stand up to her and be firm when I say no. Am I being the a——?”

“NTA - but go and get your dress now. My guess is that she already told her friend yes and wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t at your Mum’s anymore, but the friends place until she gets married,” one Reddit user writes.
“I think the friend already has the dress too. Mom is only telling OP after the fact. op Ask your mom to send you a picture of the dress in her kitchen right now,” another person responds.
Someone else writes: “NTA please ask your friend or someone you trust to pick your dress and other stuff you are emotionally attached to. Asking you was just an after thought here as your mum’s friend has already tried the dress. Please get it collected now before the dress is gone. Also, I am all about reusing the wedding dresses but only to people you care about and with the owner’s permission.”
