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!!

I'm commenting because it is my thread.

Why are you commenting?

Just for fun. I do love a thread where the OP embarrasses him/herself. It's entertaining.

Lexy2345 · 16/07/2026 18:33

Another thread about this tedious subject? Seriously? No one cares.

I’m having salt and vinegar crisps and a glass of wine for tea.

A bit of a hobby then? That's nice, I'm happy for you.

Why do you even know that?

Because they were both very open about it. That's the type of couple they are/friendships they have. It was funny at the time, maybe due to the amount of wine we consumed.

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

Now that has struck a nerve, im really hurt, it was a genuine suggestion 😔

Ham salad with new potatoes. Might have bakewell ice cream for pudding.

Bakewell ice cream? Where did you get this delight?

Oooh that sounds nice.

It's lovely, bit of mint in it from the garden, and some warmed flatbreads on the side

I know, where they think they're being really funny or edgy but they just look like a giant berk 😂

I've got a recipe for a cocktail that tastes like bakewell tart. I haven't tried it yet.

I wasn't trying to sound funny or edgy, but I'm glad I have been able to make your day better than it would have been otherwise

I think it's from Aldi. I bought it cheap from The Company Shop.

Error404FucksNotFound · 16/07/2026 18:39

Your sister in law will probably see this. Do you think she'll say anything to you?

What was the dress like? Is it that thread where the dress was a bold bright floral pattern with a white/cream/ivory background or was it a different thread?

Please, please post photos!
You can put smilies over people's heads so that they're not identifying.
And please post a picture of your dress too.
I love a wedding.

I nearly edited to say that's not what I'm having for tea 🤣

geumsun · 16/07/2026 18:45

Why are so many posters being twatty to the OP?

I remember the original thread, SIL was a right knob.

OP - maybe photoshop her out of the photos entirely. Get AI to replace her with someone less toxic. Maybe Aileen Wournos in her orange jump suit.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 16/07/2026 18:48

You know, I don't remember anything in Pulp Fiction before about wedding dresses and the odd nice enough floral frock that's sold as a wedding guest outfit.

When does Samuel L.Jackson come in with his biblical quotations?

Ah, that's right. The wedding dress is in Kill Bill. That's where the confusion has arisen.

IPoopRainblows · 16/07/2026 18:48

Marking my spot for when SIL finds this thread.

Salad sandwich, crisps and a mug of tea, for tea.

notmoredirtywashing · 16/07/2026 18:49

the replies sound exactly like the SIL. Confress OP, this is a reverse isn’t it?

I know youre not being funny or edgy, my comment was just a general reply to that pp. Im not sure what I think this thread is but definitely neither of those.

My day has remained completely average since opening this thread.
