In November 2022, a Reddit user shared a troubling story on the “Off My Chest” forum. The anonymous poster had been in a six-year relationship with her fiancé, Ryan, and they had been engaged for eight months. Little did she know that her wedding plans would unravel in a way she never expected.

Two weeks before the big day, the woman finally bought her white wedding dress. Excitement filled her as she imagined herself walking down the aisle in it. But when she shared her purchase with Ryan, things took an unexpected turn. He became visibly irritated and insisted on seeing the dress. However, she wanted to maintain the surprise, which only seemed to make Ryan more agitated.

Finally, when she revealed that her dress was indeed white, Ryan’s explosive reaction left her stunned. He expressed a strong preference for a red dress. According to him, brides should only wear white if they were deemed “pure.” This shocking revelation left the woman questioning their future together.

To try and change her mind, Ryan sought support from his mother. But even she agreed with the woman, causing further tension. The arguments about the symbolism tied to the wedding dress intensified. The confrontation even led Ryan’s mother to suggest that he should wear red if he was no longer a virgin. Emotions ran high, with Ryan ending up in tears, but he remained firm in his belief that wearing white would deceive their wedding guests.
