A woman has been left distraught by her bride-to-be sister's behaviour, as her generous offer to pay for a £5,000 wedding dress quickly turned sour.
After the bride-to-be made a cruel joke "mocking" her sibling, she quickly retracted her wallet and is refusing to pay the costly expense.
Taking to popular forum site Reddit, the woman explained that she suffered an awful experience in her relationship over five years ago where her fiancé brutally cheated on her. Shockingly, her sister made a cruel joke about the event ahead of her own wedding day.
The woman explained: "I had an incident on my wedding day back in 2017, where my former fiancé abandoned me and ran away with his pregnant mistress. That image, those details are forever engraved on my mind and I'll never forget how I felt that day."
The woman went on: "This was truly a turning point in my life. My family have always been there for me so I kept close to them. My younger sister is currently engaged and her wedding will be in few months.

"She's struggling with money so I decided to help her and her fiancé and pay for the wedding dress. This allowed her to be able to buy her dream wedding gown that costs $7,000 (£5,600). It's a lot for a dress but she literally cried because she wanted it.
"(This happened few days before we agreed to go buy the dress). We were eating dinner at my parent's home and my cousin and aunt were there. My aunt was asking my sister about the wedding and my sister said that everything was going according to plan and then casually laughed and said 'let's just hope he won't run away with a pregnant mistress or something on our wedding day'."
While the bride-to-be thought that the joke was humorous, her sister was taken aback by the mark and admitted that was "completely blown away".
She went on: "She laughed and aunt laughed too as if this was a joke. She was basically mocking what happened to me at my wedding. It happened so fast I got up and started screaming at her calling her an idiot but my parents asked me to take it easy and she said it was a joke and she didn't 'think' I'd react so intensely.
"My aunt remained seated and my cousin asked me to calm down and drink some water but I grabbed my stuff and as I was getting ready, I told my sister she was getting 0 dollars for her dream wedding dress then I walked out. I heard louder commotion as I walked and my dad and cousin followed me outside trying to talk but I asked to be left alone.
"My and dad spoke to saying I was too harsh on my sister over a joke and said that I know this is how she is with her dark sense of humour. They said she's been crying after I decided to back out of helping her and said this'd ruin her wedding."
Seeking advice, the Reddit user wrote: "They want me to reconsider my decision since it might damage my relationship with my sister but I refused. Did I overreact?"
Since sharing the thread online, the woman's post has raked in over 3,000 comments - where people fled to the comment section to discuss the jaw-dropping ordeal.
One person wrote: "Serious lack of self-awareness and simple respect from this sister. Charged remarks come with charged consequences. Not the a**hole."
Meanwhile, a second said: "Take that $7,000 and buy yourself a nice little vacation, laugh all the way from the airport to your hotel room."
