Groom-to-be tells bride she's being unreasonable for wanting 'extravagant' dress, asks Internet if he's bei... - Fox News

Something tells us he's not going to like the answer.

A groom-to-be recently took to Reddit to ask whether or not he was wrong for allegedly telling his fiancée that she shouldn't buy the $950 wedding dress she wants, but rather a $50 knock-off.

The man, who posted under a throwaway account with the username "Josh8449," began by explaining that he and his fiancée "Emma" were getting married in July and had everything "pretty much sorted" as far as the actual ceremony goes.

WEDDING GUEST SLAMMED FOR 'GROSS' RESPONSE TO WEDDING INVITE

The one thing his bride-to-be hadn't bought yet was a wedding dress.

Emma allegedly told him she was eyeing a gown that cost $950, as well as a $120 veil -- a move Josh didn't understand because the couple "[isn't] the extravagant type at all."

Josh said he was also a bit peeved because they had jointly saved $10,000 for the wedding, and the dress would put a dent in their leftover honeymoon fund.

"I'm not trying to get her to cheap out on her dress but she will literally wear it once, one dress for over $1000 is just insane that would fund our honeymoon," the Redditor complained. (iStock)

"I'm not trying to get her to cheap out on her dress but she will literally wear it once, one dress for over $1,000 is just insane [...] that would fund our honeymoon," Josh said.

Josh added that he was going to wear his dad's old tuxedo to save money. And while he understood that Emma couldn't wear her mother's gown -- "her and her mum both say the style hasn't aged well [which] is fair" -- he didn't understand why she couldn't find a cheaper, similar dress online.

"I had a quick Google around at dresses online and there were so many! [A]nd so many just like the one Emma wants for like $50 to $100," he said.

"I tried to show her some dresses I found on [the Wish app] and others … but she was having none of it," he wrote.

Emma also offered to pay for the dress out of her own money and not their shared honeymoon fund, but Josh still wasn't happy because "we [are] about to marry and our finances will be joined." He also didn't appreciate Emma's mom offering to buy the dress.

The whole thing soon turned "nasty," Josh said, adding that "Emma has been extremely cold to me" and acting like a "toddler."

Josh claims Emma also questioned whether the two were too incompatible to marry, and went to stay with her parents.

Not surprisingly, the Reddit community largely agreed that, yes, Josh was wrong.

"Regardless of dress type, though, your reaction to her -- calling her names and deciding you have veto power -- is the real problem. You should be solving this issue together. If you can't, maybe it's not time to get married yet," one user said.

"Most of the wedding guests would be arriving in more expensive attire, if $50-100 was her dress budget," another wrote.

"Like seriously? Sorry… but your girlfriend deserves way better," someone else claimed.

"If my fiancé called me a toddler for spending one grand of my own money on a reasonably-priced dress for our wedding, I'd be seriously reconsidering the marriage. That's such childish behavior," another said.

Josh later updated his original post, stating that Emma found it on Reddit and that it was a "mistake" to air his grievances.

"Emma found this thread, it was a mistake to post here and [I'm] sorry I posted our problems on Reddit," he said, adding the acronym "IATA," which is an admission meaning "I am the a--h---."

3 Ways To Dress Cozier - Forbes

Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:38 PM PST

It's cold outside and time to get cozy. Getting dressed up in the winter is such a struggle, so let's opt for comfort instead and rock these 3 styles.

1) Sweater Dress

A knit sweater dress is a game-changer for anyone who wants to stay wrapped up in blankets all day but needs to look professional. Just like your favorite knit throw, a sweater dress will keep you warm but also ensure you look stylish. Layer with tights, coats, and boots if it is really chilly out.

Topshop Ribbed Long Sleeve Funnel Neck Midi Sweater Dress

Consider this a sweater dress for all seasons—and occasions! Wear it as is, belt it, layer it with a jean jacket...the possibilities are endless. Also, the midi length ensures that it will be a warm option for those especially cold days and nights.

Tularosa Dreamin Sweater Dress

If you refuse to sacrifice style for comfort, this is the perfect sweater dress option for you. The off-the-shoulder cut is so chic, but it is still a cozy knit.

LPA Kavala Sweater Dress

You can style this button-up knit dress so many ways. Choose how much skin you want to show by buttoning and unbuttoning to your desired lengths. Or, undo all the buttons for a long sweater to layer with other pieces!

2) Fleece Jackets

If there is a jacket trend that dominated the scene this winter, it would be the "VSCO Girl"-approved fleece.

Sandy Liang Bells Fleece

This is how fashionistas rock a fleece zip-up. The Peter Pan collar is an unusual addition for such a jacket, but I love that it gives this piece an added touch of feminine flair. It also features an on-trend neon green zipper and lining, which will make the jacket pop.

Tory Sport Sherpa Fleece Jacket

Leave it to Tory Burch to make an athletic jacket that I wouldn't mind wearing anywhere! This is a simple fleece that can go with virtually anything. I would recommend wearing this to those early morning workouts and activities.

& Other Stories Tiger Print Utility Fleece Jacket

For when your jacket needs a little extra oomph, why not rock a style with bold zebra stripes? I think this is a great jacket to wear oversized and paired with a feminine lace dress or vintage jeans.

3) Elevated Lounge Sets

Getting dressed is hard. I get it. Sometimes all you want is to wear your PJs out in public, and these stylish lounge sets are the next best thing. Wear them on a lazy Sunday binging Netflix shows or out to the grocery store. These sets are so cute, no one will care that you are wearing sweatpants!

Reformation Tanner Classic Hoodie and Classic Sweatpant

Every Los Angeles girl will be clamoring to get their hands on these tie dye pieces from Reformation. Wear them together with your favorite pair of chunky dad sneakers, or style the sweatshirt on its own with a trusted pair of classic blue jeans.

Rails Mika Sweatshirt and Oakland Pants

I have a Rails set of my own and must say that their sweatshirts and sweatpants are so comfortable! The multicolor dots are a fun accent but not too overwhelming. I would wear this set everywhere if I could.

Sundry LA NY Paris Hoodie and Stripes Boyfriend Sweatpant

Who doesn't love a great pop of red? This set is for the statement maker who doesn't mind some bold color in her ensemble. The sweatshirt on its own is a cool item to rock, but I love the head-to-toe red.
