Hiya
Was umming and aahing about posting this here or in the chat section but AIBU is where the other threads were posted. IYKYK. I have had the (dis)pleasure of reading all 80 pages.

I'm the bride and I can confirm my SIL did turn up wearing the dress to the wedding. My best friend/MoH waited until after the wedding to show me the threads since some of the posts were a bit horrid tbh and she was so right I didn't need to see that before the wedding. She organised a post wedding girls night for me and the rest of our friends group who came to the wedding and that really was such a brilliant and surprisingly entertaining way to read through and digest it all with a few glasses of wine, some music and lots of love and support.

The consensus after last night's wine & whine is that I should keep shtum about the dress and the threads to MIL/SIL in person and that it would be better to create this thread and who knows they might come across it

Another idea that was floated last night was photoshopping the wedding photos with SIL in them to make her dress pink or yellow. If this is an awful idea we blame the wine!!

Tedious bollocks.

Who will turn up next? The Brides MOH? the groom? the vicar?

The dress would like a word.

A dirty tea tonight - Koka curry noodles with frozen chicken strips washed down with a Desperado then a full Tiramisu that needs eating before its wasted as it goes out of date in, ahem, 4 days.

Right... well, I can see why my SIL is to MN. It's giving mean girls vibes.

Please. Just stop.

I'm getting second hand embarrassment.

Oops I forgot that trolling MN is okay but referring to the trolling is Against The Rules.

Your SIL wore a perfectly acceptable dress to your wedding.

Can you not get your pals round to support and love you through it?

UrbanSoul · 16/07/2026 18:27

We need a weekly wine and whine thread on MN.

You've left at least 3 comments about this. It makes me wonder why it has struck a nerve?

One might ask you the same question.

This thread is utterly cringeworthy. If I were you, I'd ask MNHQ to delete it. Being a bridezilla is never a good look, and attention seeking on MN is truly embarrassing.

ThisThreadCouldOutMe · 16/07/2026 18:30

Is "the day before the wedding outfits" a thing? Blimey. Maybe im not close enough to anyone to have encounterd this. Mind you I went to a wedding a few years ago where most of the guests were in PJs by about 10pm. The only reason the bride wasn't was because the groom wanted to have "wedding dress sex" Grin

Anyway, I'm having chicken tonight for dinner. Yes that stuff from a jar. With cauliflower rice.

Now I have "I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight" going around my head. I like it.
