What’s worse than Laney stealing Charlotte’s baby name in Sex and the City? Your twin sister stealing the wedding dress that you have your eyes on. That’s exactly what happened to one bride, who shared her story on Reddit.
A user by the name of @Famous-Map7544 posted to the Subreddit r/AITAH (which stands for “am I the asshole?”), explaining how her 25-year-old twin sister pulled a prank on her because she “gets a kick out of our twinness.”
Famous-Map7544 shared that she is engaged and went shopping for bridal gowns when she came across a dress she “liked but wasn’t sure of.”

“My sister decided to commit to the most expensive joke ever, as she got the dress and she wore it in front of my fiancé (28m) while he was having dinner at home,” she penned, adding that her fiancé is able to tell the two of them apart.
She continued, writing, “My sister told me it wasn’t just for a joke, what she got the dress in case I wanted it. I told her no thank you, and I also said it’s not funny that she wore my potential wedding dress. I told her I would have been heartbroken if I had my mind set on that dress.”
Famous-Map7544 concluded by stating her twin “actually started crying and she apologized. She said she thought I would find it funny.”

People quickly came to the bride’s defense in the comments, with one user writing “How are you the asshole? She’s the asshole. Who does that?” while another wrote “How is this funny?”
A third addressed the fact that her twin wore the gown in front of her soon-to-be brother in law: “The fact she wore it in front of your fiance says she didn’t want you to have that dress. If she sincerly wanted to get it for you, put it in so you can look at it from afar objectively…. since you’re twins i might have been on board. But the minute she wore it in front of your fiance knowing most woman don’t want the fiance to see the dress before the wedding because they feel it is bad luck tells me she didn’t have good intentions.”

Famous-Map7544 tried to rationalize her sister’s actions in one reply, writing, “Both my sister and I have each used our twinness for jokes before. I can kinda understand why she would think I would find it funny.” However, she ultimately recognized a line was crossed.
“This one was too much of an extreme version of what we did. This one didn’t feel harmless,” she finished.
