MY FIANCÉ AND HIS MOM DEMANDED I WEAR A RED WEDDING DRESS — BUT I HAD A BETTER IDEA.

When Daniel proposed, I was overjoyed and bought my dream white wedding dress. But when his mother, Margaret, saw it, she sneered and told me I couldn’t wear white because I had a child. To my shock, Daniel agreed. The next day, my dress was gone, replaced by a red gown Margaret had bought with my money.Image 1

At the ceremony, Margaret and Daniel wore white, but I had a surprise. I had arranged for everyone on my side of the family—and a few of Daniel’s cousins—to wear red in solidarity. Margaret was stunned. I told her, “Red is a bold, beautiful color. It doesn’t define me.”Image 2

During the vows, I spoke up, asking Daniel to stand by me and respect my past. His response was lackluster, and I felt the tension throughout the ceremony. Later, Margaret confronted me, but I calmly told her she had made herself look foolish.

At the reception, Daniel apologized for not defending me, but I realized I had to stand up for myself. The day wasn’t perfect, but I had shown my worth. No one, not even Daniel or his controlling mother, could define who I was. Standing up for myself was the right choice, and I wouldn’t let anyone take my value away.
