According to her post, Jasmine Hopper and her mother-in-law went wedding dress shopping together and the bride-to-be chose a “mermaid-style, lace, sequin-style gown.”
However, on the wedding day, Hopper’s mother-in-law apparently showed up in a white gown that resembled the bride’s dress.
The TikTok video explaining the scenario has been viewed by over 11m people ever since it was posted last week.
“I can’t even put into words how embarrassed I am that my mother-in-law wore the same dress as me on my wedding day,” Hopper said.
“It hurts my soul, it ruined all the pictures on my day. All I can think about when I think about my wedding is the dumb b***h who had my dress on.”
Many people commented on Hopper’s post with some suggesting that she should’ve confronted her mother-in-law.
“Girl, go on and confront her for doing this to you,” one user wrote. “This was supposed to be your day to shine not hers.”
Another person wrote: “There is photographic evidence that she’s allowed to be that toxic.”
Last year, a couple went viral on TikTok sharing how they spent just $500 (£380) on their wedding day.
Kiara and Joel Brokenbrough from California tied the knot in an inexpensive ceremony in Los Angeles, where they cut costs by getting married in a public place with few guests and hosting their reception in a local hotel lounge.
Brokenbrough even bought her wedding dress from the fast-fashion website Shein.
“Our goal was to just be as minimal as possible and to spend the least amount of money as possible,” she said in an interview with Good Morning America.
The newlyweds also saved money by being gifted their wedding cake and flowers by friends and family, and getting married on a public hilltop at sunset, with the couple revealing their wedding took just two months to plan.
