Preparing for a wedding can be complicated. There are many things for the bride-to-be to do, from choosing a stunning wedding dress to finding the perfect place. But for this Redditor, dividing roles for each member of her family is the most difficult task, as she lives in a complicated family.
Her parents were divorced, and her dad married another woman. As the wedding day approaches, the OP faces a tough decision about choosing who to be the 'mother of the bride.'
Following the call of her heart, the OP decided to give this role to her mom. She then explained to her stepmom that she wanted the 'mother of the bride' to be her mom, leaving the stepmom feeling left out. "She was sad and asked me why I didn't want her as the second mom of the bride," OP shared.
Now, the bride-to-be doesn't know whether she was wrong or not. So she took her story to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit and asked people for their opinions. Scroll down to read the full story and check out the comments from Redditors.
