'My mother-in-law says I can't wear white to my wedding because I'm not pure'

A bride-to-be has slammed her mother-in-law for 'banning' her from wearing white to her own wedding because 'she isn't pure'. The 32-year-old came to learn she was with her ex-child - but not wanting to be a father, he left her without giving it a second thought.

Without a place to live, a coworker welcomed her into his house while she made arrangements, came to terms with the news, and got back on her feet. She started to build a relationship with her co-worker's son - with him taking her to doctor's appointments, helping her with her morning sickness, and listening to her when she needed to 'cry it out'.

Soon after, she started her co-worker's son - but his parents were not happy about the arrangement. She said on : "My mother-in-law would make sly and rude comments about my weight, and how she wished her son would 'find someone who would've waited to make a family with him.'

"For all intents and purposes; my son is his. Fiancé is the only dad my son has known. My father-in-law would say things along the lines of, 'If I wanted my son to date you; I would've introduced you two earlier'. I just shrugged it off and just focused on being as healthy as possible for my baby."

One year after she gave birth to her son, she and her fiancé broke the news they were expecting a little girl. However, again, this didn't go down well with his parents, who hated the thought of their son having a child outside of wedlock.

To try to please his parents, they started arranging their wedding. However, it was at this point that his mum started ramping up the hate. The woman explained: "She told me that I shouldn't wear a white dress because I am not 'pure'. She said it wasn't 'proper' or 'right' for me to wear white because I had children outside of wedlock... this woman wasn't married until five years after having three children. She wore white.

"I explained to her, that none of the women in my family were 'pure' before getting married and they all wore white, and I wasn't having a traditional wedding; so 'traditional' aspects of a wedding weren't important to me. She lost it. Calling me a harlot, and telling me I was ruining the 'sanctity"' of marriage'."

In the end, the couple ended up postponing their big day to ahead of their third child's birth. She added: "We've decided to elope and only have the closest people there with us when we say our vows. I'm still doing all the things I planned for our wedding. I hope my mother-in-law hates it."
