ADVERTIsem*nT
It’s no secret that wedding preparation can become a lethal co*cktail for a conflict to blow up. Think of the amount of stress, pressure, and decision making that the bride and groom have to go through for what is known as the most important day in their lives. That definition alone is already a strain.
So this story comes from a 29-year-old woman who has been planning a wedding with her 33-year-old husband-to-be and it was going well until things turned sour. And the wedding dress was the cause of it.
“This might sound clichè but ever since I was young I dreamed of having my own beautiful wedding dress, I can afford it but my [soon to be husband] thinks it’s not okay to waste a couple of thousands on a dress I’m only going to wear once,” the author wrote in a post on r/AITA.
So imagine her coming home one day and realizing the dream wedding dress she had just purchased was missing from the closet. Let me leave you with the full story right below which made the author wonder if she was right in this whole situation at all.
Recently, a woman shared a story of how her husband-to-be took her dream wedding dress from the closet and returned it without saying anything

It will only escalate from here. She needs to escape now! Make him think she'll rent a dress, get her money back, and go.

I don't know if OP will see this, but these are enormous, neon-blinking red flags. He has committed theft in an effort to control you, and is disparaging what you do. You are not married yet. It is really easy to miss/overlook/unconsciously assume it will all work out in this relationship phase. We need to be taught, I think, how to discuss important issues and understand consequences as a society, instead of being fed the illusion of happily-ever-after-marriages. Are you on the same page in regards to finances? How to discuss and resolve issues? Relationships with friends and family? Having or not having a family? Where you will live and what your life goals are? How you treat and respect each other - and other people in general? Driving habits, words, how people treat others, explanations of past relationships can reveal a lot - but when we are in love, headed towards marriage, we have a huge blind spot. Listen to what others say they see, and consider what they are saying.

In my country a lot of people go for a church wedding because it's traditional and fancy. But in order to do that, the couple must go through mandatory counselling sessions with a priest or other church representative. Most of my friends aren't religious, but everyone who did it says that it's been really good, because those are exactly the things they are encouraged to discuss. I have a complicated relationship with the church (to put it mildly) but this, apparently, is one of the things they really get right. Of course, my friends all carefully chose specific, relatively liberal, places to do this.

Don't worry about the loss of the dress, you won't need it when you show him the door.You can get another when you find a decent man to marry.
