She Hurt Her Stepmom By Declining To Wear Her Heirloom Bracelet On Her Wedding Day
Come winter, this 24-year-old girl will be getting married, and her stepmom really wanted her to wear her heirloom bracelet on her wedding day.
This special bracelet belonged to her stepmom’s grandma. Her stepmom wore the bracelet on her wedding day, and her stepsisters carried on the tradition when they tied the knot.
When her half-sisters get married in the future, they’re planning on wearing the bracelet too. So you can understand the significance here and why her stepmom wanted her to have the bracelet as her “something borrowed.”
While she acknowledged her stepmom’s gesture was kind, she informed her she already picked out her something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
She hurt her stepmom’s feelings, and her stepmom wished she was included in picking out all of those things.
“She asked me what would represent her half of my family on my wedding day,” she explained. “I told her they didn’t really need representing and that my step and half-siblings would be there, as well as her.”
“She told me I’m not including her whole family like I’m including my paternal and maternal sides and that she already knows I’m wearing some stuff of my mom’s and some stuff from maternal family members. She said she wanted to see me honor both moms during the wedding.”
The issue is she doesn’t consider her stepmom to be a mom to her. To be honest, they don’t even have the best relationship.
At times, they get along great, but that’s not the norm, and the mood can get pretty ugly between the two of them.

Her stepmom absolutely views her as a daughter, but she hates that. She’s always been close to her mom’s side of the family, and she and her stepmom have fought over the years about her enthusiasm for these loved ones.
Her stepmom wished she was as excited to spend time with her and even suggested she spend less time with her mom’s side and more time with her to bond.
Additionally, she hasn’t invited her stepmom to participate in her wedding in a motherly capacity, so that makes her even less interested in wearing the bracelet and pretending she wants to honor the woman.
So, she’s standing firm in declining to put the bracelet on when she walks down the aisle, and her stepmom is sad over this.
“She’s upset because she married my dad when I was 9 after my mom died, and wanted me to embrace her and her family (her kids and extended family) as equally family to me as my mom and dad and maternal and paternal families,” she added.
“She knows I don’t. But I know she wants me to take the symbol anyway. She [and I] argued a bit. Then she told my dad, and he told me it would be extra sweet and meaningful to make my stepmother happy and show love and acceptance for my third parent and third side of my family.”
She doesn’t care what her dad says; she still doesn’t want to wear her stepmom’s heirloom bracelet.
She’s left wondering if it’s mean of her to turn down the bracelet after all, though. What do you think?
