Welcome, tea lovers from across the Internets. When you're in a relationship, it's natural to want to get to know your partner's parents. This may start with slightly awkward family dinners and then slowly progress to being invited to family vacations, developing inside jokes with their mom and dad, and ultimately feeling like your in-laws (or future in-laws) are truly like a second set of parents. Not everyone has both a mom and dad in the picture, though. If one of your partner's parents have passed, it can feel impossible to 'get close' to them. You can listen to your partner's stories about them, attend memorial services, or participate in a shared hobby in order to understand the relationship more.
The wrong move to make, though, is to become weirdly possessive and entitled over the late parent's belongings. In our story today, a bride attempts to connect with her fiancé's late mother by wearing her wedding dress. The problem is, his mother wanted his sister to wear it, and she never even met her son's new partner. Scroll down to read all the juicy details.
