It is true that the day of the wedding is one of the most special, so the memories that treasure the moment also become something very relevant. But a bride who has suffered from limited mobility for several years revealed her annoyance that her mother-in-law asked her to leave her wheelchair for the wedding photos so she could look better in the shots.
“I’m quite upset about this, I will not lie, I felt that she was acting as if my chair was something to hide or worse, something ugly with the way she talked about how it would be better for photos and would look better, “the woman wrote in the popular Reddit forum. The response that the bride gave to her fiancé’s mother’s request was quite eloquent: “I told him to mind his own fucking business and that I would do what I thought was best, and since it’s my wedding and I’m paying for the photographer , I will decide how I want to look in my photos”.
The bride explained that her wedding will take place in four months, and that she has “some mobility” without the wheelchair, but prefers to use it to save yourself discomfort and pain the next day. The mother-in-law told her that she will regret looking at her wedding photos in a wheelchair.
Obviously, the bride’s response angered the mother-in-law, who described her as touchy and unreasonable. Later she complained to her son about the matter, so she had an argument with her fiancé: “He told me that I am being a ‘bridezilla’ with how aggressive I have been with his mother and that I need to be less sensitive. He told me that I can use my chair that day, but I can’t jump on his mother’s neck that way”, narrated the woman.
“I am sensitive to my chair since I grew up with problems about my appearance and how it relates to that”, finished the bride in her post.
The reactions of Reddit users were immediate. “I would reconsider the wedding. If they can’t accept the chair, they won’t accept you,” wrote one. “Definitely a red flag. I have met too many disabled women whose partners seemed supportive and loving until the wedding/marriage and then suddenly became controlling, making them more dependent on him, and also began to act nuisance about his needs,” another warned. “I would definitely worry about the fiancé and her lack of support for me. I would think twice before marrying him. Authoritarian mothers-in-law only get worse if they are not put in their place”, pointed out a third party.
