To think DHs sister is a bridezilla?

If I’m honest...we have never got on. As a matter of fact, I have never got on with his entire family but that’s a thread in itself.

She is getting married in April and has requested me to:

  1. Not to wear a wig (my hair is super thin and balding and makes me super uncomfortable so I tend to wear proper, human hair wigs in public/to occasions- I’m talking a decent one, not a green Mohawk from the joke shop)
  2. Wear a dress of her choosing (not a bridesmaid or part of the wedding party in any form) because she doesn’t like my “fashion sense”. I don’t dress like a cheap hooker, but I’m not a fussy old fashioned type either

As DH has insisted I’m part of the wedding photos she feels she has a right to demand these things

AIBU?

Agree, then show up wearing your wig and outfit of your choice. A bride having a screaming, foot-stamping tantrum is never a good look. Then post the video on YouTube. Halo

Gee my ex’s dad turned up dressed as a vicar - he is a vicar - but a bit much to have two at one wedding I did roll my eyes but whatever he’s a guest he can wear what he wants

I would be interested to know her answer if she's put on the spot.

Me and a friend once went out as ABBA. Maybe grab a few friends and some flares?

She’s a monster.

You should wear what you feel comfortable in. If she refuses to let you and your DC in the photos, then DH must refuse to be in them too - you come as a unit so all or none.
If he won't do this, then you have a massive DH problem.

I think I would refuse to engage in any more discussions on the subject. Maybe you and other sister should both turn up in identical bridesmaid style gowns, same colour as the official ones or something designed to clash terribly

Op this has made it into The Mirror.

What a vile creature.

She can fuck right off
