Woman left horrified after mum asks her to step in for identical twin sister on wedding day

A woman was left shocked after her mother asked her to pretend to be her identical twin sister for her wedding day after a tragic accident meant the bride could no longer attend. The twin said her mother is forcing her to wear her sister's wedding dress and pose in photos as her sibling as the pair 'look so much alike it can be freaky', the Mirror reports.

The 30-year-old woman explained that her twin has to undergo cosmetic surgery after a 'bad accident' and her family is now proposing she takes her place for the entire ceremony, including walking down the aisle, posing for photos and more. However, the anonymous woman has admitted that the idea of her stepping in for her twin sister Jess on her special day makes her feel 'really uncomfortable'.

Taking to Reddit to seek some advice regarding the bizarre situation, the woman said her mum was 'upset' when she said no and told her if she didn't say yes, her sister would be reminded of her 'trauma' whenever she looked back at her wedding photos. She added that when she and Jess were young her mother would encourage them to 'frequently dress alike' as it reminded her of 'precious dolls' and she felt like she could never just be herself.
