Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML

Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML

Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML

Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML

Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML

Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML

Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML

Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML

As long as you don't hold your 4 year old, I heard they've been unclipping dresses at weddings lately...

Why are there so many FML stories about moms being bitches today?

First of all, the whole issue with the size sucks. No matter what size you are, it should be your decision whether you want to lose weight or not for your wedding day. But ultimately I am going to go with YDI because who leaves the ordering of something so important to somebody else? At least not without checking back with the store to make sure there were no mistakes?

It wouldn't be so bad if the OP's mother wasn't also feeding her excessive amounts of butter and oil so she'd be the fatter one. There is just no pleasing that woman.

ydi if you're old enough to be getting married, you're old enough to fill out your own order forms! are you sure you didn't mean "quince" dress, because there's no way you're mature enough for marriage.

Often parents offer to do things like paperwork to help ease the stress of organising such a big thing. Are you married? If you are I'm sure you understand how much work goes into a wedding. If my mum offered to deal with the order forms for my dress I'd let her!
