The picture showed a stunning floor length white gown which was embellished with lace detailing. The woman then asked Reddit forum r/mildlyinfuriating how to best deal with the awkward situation. The bride-to-be explained: 'The dress my mom is planning to wear to my wedding. She sent this to me yesterday and I still haven't replied.'.
The post got over 64,000 uplikes and over 8,000 people rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts. The dress itself appeared to be from Sottero & Midgley by Maggie Sottero Designs - and is indeed listed under bridal dresses online. Many suggested that the bride should be blunt with her mother and tell her she can't wear the gown to her wedding, while others said she should uninvite her.
A bride has been left fuming after her mother revealed she's planning to wear a wedding dress on her big day (stock image). Others wrote: 'I would just flat out ask her why she is wearing a wedding dress to your wedding and tell her she is making a gigantic fool of herself';.
'No reason to be tactful. The only ones who would consider wearing a wedding dress to another wedding are idiots who need to be told 'no' and leave it at that';. 'I'd reply saying, mom you know I already have a dress picked out. Why are you suggesting this to me?'.
Others suggested that the bride should uninvite her mother to the wedding, saying she sounds like a 'narcissist.'. They said: 'Please just cut contact with your mom. She doesn't treat you well and she will not change. You deserve better people in your life. She should lose her invitation to your wedding and your life. Please consider cutting contact with her, at least for a while';.
'I grew up in a house riddled with selfish toxic narcissism. Do. Not. Allow. It.'. The poster added: 'I just talked to my sister and she’s on board with disinviting mom if she insists to wear the dress or doing anything crazy. 'Our only concern is our dad though. He knows how my mom is but he would probably try to tell us to let it go to keep peace.'.

Meanwhile others suggested the bride should be more tactful and pretend that her mother was sending her a suggestion for what to wear instead.
Wearing a white dress on someone else's big day is generally considered an unforgiveable error. Previously, a 'malicious' wedding guest was slammed for turning up to a friend's wedding wearing a white maxi dress. A Reddit user posted a photo of a recent bride, believed to be from the US, and the anonymous guest.
While the bride opted for a white gown with a plunging neckline and floral appliques, the guest chose a strapless silk floor-length dress and white shoes. Inviting others to comment on the guest's outfit, the user wrote on the 'wedding shaming' forum: 'Bride is on the left and her friend is on the right and not with the bridal party.
