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\u2019t 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.\n
