Kelly was beyond excited about her wedding, especially after she bought her dress. The thing is, the bride-to-be’s in-laws didn’t want her wearing the dress, threatening not to come to the wedding if she did.

Wanting her future husband’s parents there, Kelly obliged. But, the day of, her mother-in-law did something that made her see nothing but red.

Kelly Barker And Colin Lewis

Kelly Barker knew she would marry Colin Lewis right when they first met. He was honest, hard-working, and considerate. It was easy to fall in love with him.

With all of his amazing traits, Kelly thought Colin was raised right, and it would be easy to get along with his family.

Colin Was The Black Sheep Of The Family

Kelly quickly found out Colin was the black sheep in the family and the rest of the Lewis’ were nothing like him. Even so, she said “yes” when Colin asked her to marry him after two years of dating.

Little did Kelly know that her soon-to-be mother-in-law was about to make her life a living nightmare.

Colin’s Mother Just Didn’t Like Her

Growing up, Kelly was a popular person and got along with pretty much everyone. That being said, nothing she could do was good enough for Colin’s mother. The woman just didn’t like her.

Due to the tension between the two women, Kelly didn’t invite her future mother-in-law to go wedding dress shopping.

Kelly Found Her Dream Dress

Sadly, not inviting Colin’s mom was going to be something Kelly would regret. Even so, the bride-to-be said “yes to the dress” and sent a picture to her future mother-in-law.

She might not have been invited to the actual bridal shop, but Kelly still wanted her to feel included in the process.

Beautiful, Long, And Flowy

Keely found her dress at a local boutique she and Colin loved. It was long, flowy, and had a very bohemian-feel with its embroidered corset detailing. She loved it and couldn’t wait to send her mother-in-law a picture.

The reply that followed was the opposite of what the happy bride-to-be was expecting.

She Demanded Kelly Find Another Dress

Colin’s mother wrote Kelly back, demanding she finds another dress to wear on her wedding day. Kelly was so confused, asking why she didn’t like the dress and why she had to find another.

She loved this one. Scrolling through all of the texts, Kelly couldn’t believe what she was reading.

“That Dress Is Inappropriate”

To her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Colin’s mom wrote, “I don’t need to give you a reason. You should do what I say without questioning me. That dress is inappropriate.”

To which Kelly replied, “Sorry, but I’m still wearing this dress.” Shockingly, there was a wild reason why Colin’s mother didn’t want her to wear the dress, and it wasn’t because it was “inappropriate.”

Appearances Were Very Important

As it turns out, Colin’s mother came from a lot of wealth and was used to getting everything she wanted. She was very judgmental, and keeping up appearances was very important to her.

So, when Kelly told her she was still going to wear the dress, it sent her spinning out of control.

The Ultimatum

The next day, Kelly received a surprise phone call from Colin’s father. To her astonishment, he told her that if she did not pick out a different dress, their entire side of the family was not going to attend the wedding.

Kelly couldn’t believe what she was hearing. It made no sense.

The Guest List Would Drop To 25 People

Kelly and Colin decided to have a very small wedding of 40 people, 15 of which were Colin’s relatives. If they didn’t come, their guest list was down to 25 people!

Colin’s side of the family was beyond unreasonable, and it began to cause tension between the newly engaged couple.
