Pregnant Bride Storms Out Of Cousin’s Shop After Demanding A Free New Dress

Family relationships can be tricky, especially when money gets involved.

Recently, a woman turned to Reddit to air out her frustration over a fight she's had with her cousin, who is getting married soon. As the owner of a bridal shop, she designed and tailored a wedding dress as a gift. However, things took an unexpected turn after the bride revealed she was pregnant.

It became obvious that the gown won't fit, and the relatives couldn't find an agreement on how to proceed.

According to The Knot 2024 Attire & Fashion Study, on average, brides begin the quest for their wedding dress 10 months before their big day.

At that time, they aren't necessarily visiting salons yet, but are doing research online and figuring out what they like. On average, survey respondents start going to physical shops about 8.5 months before their event and make the purchase roughly 7.5 months in advance.

While 55% of respondents bought dresses off the rack, it's especially important to start the process early if you're interested in customizing your gown in any way.

So, the two-month timeframe the cousin wanted to leave our Redditor with is incredibly tight by the industry's standards.
