Today, my former fiancée, who I stopped seeing 5 months ago, married another guy. She wore the dress that I'd purchased for our would-be wedding. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex fiancée, who left me six months ago, asked if I'd mind if she used the wedding dress I bought her for our wedding. She's just gotten engaged again. FML
Today, my fiancée got married. I did not. FML
Today, my ex-fiancé married the woman he cheated on me with. Their wedding was an exact replica of how I had planned mine to be, decorations, colors, cake, etc. Oh, and she also copied the dress I'd said yes to. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancée wishes she'd never said yes when I proposed, as she is in love with another man, and has been hiding their relationship for years. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend proposed to me, at my wedding. FML
Today my fiancé broke up with me. Two hours later, the store I bought my wedding dress from called to say it’s ready to be picked up. FML
Today, I found out that my now ex-fiancé was still married to her ex throughout the entire relationship. What I didn't realize was that I ended up paying for the divorce, and 3 months later she got married to someone else. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend got married. Normally this wouldn’t bother me at all, had his bride not been the girl we constantly argued about all the time during our relationship. The one he “swore on his grandma’s grave he would never see that way.” Oh, and we broke up 7 months ago. FML
Today, I was supposed to get married to the love of my life. My ex-wife ended up crashing my wedding and created drama. My now-ex-fiancée decided she wants nothing to do with me anymore, and that, "if she wanted baggage, she’d go to an airport.” She walked out of the wedding and blocked my number. FML
Today, my current wife left me for my ex-wife. FML

Always make the father of the bride pay for the dress.

Just keep your chin up man, karma catches people when they least expect it. I don't know why you still let her keep the dress though...

The first thing I would do when the relationship ended would be to return that dress. Cha-Ching!

Eh that might be an unrealistic expectation in some cases... Plus who expects the worst when planning for a wedding and buying the dress?? That's one instance where a man not thinking that the wedding dress he buys his fiancé could possibly be worn in her next, very soon-to-follow wedding isn't too far fetched. Lol

she was well dressed for the ocassion at least

I wonder why OP stopped seeing her? More info is needed

People break up sometimes. It doesn't always have to be for some scandalous reason.

I smell a scandal brewing...

A wedding dress is considered a gift and he couldn't take it back. I know I'm divorced. I couldn't even get the ring back that I sold my motorcycle for.

#1, If he's from West Virginia, he might actually be the father of the bride...

#102: Here's the law... If you haven't married the girl yet and she breaks off the engagement, the ring is legally yours. Once you've married he girl, it belongs to her - whoever ended it.

totally agree. i dont understand people who re-use items with sentimental value..
thepersonyouknow 9
Well she didnt do anything for her to expect karma for all we know it could be op's fault for their relationship failing and he should have taken the dress
lilhellian 27
12 Items can lose their sentimental value.
mmizbbz210 13
yea.. i thought about that after i commented.

They still mean and are a reminder of something though...

11: sure she did. she waited ONLY 5months after her failed relationship to marry someone else. even if the end was OPs fault, such a short grace period is in poor taste.
Sonfang 19
#11 while that is possible, think on it this way; she's marrying someone she's possibly only known 5 months. I believe in soul mates and true love, but in my experience, most people date for a few years, then get engaged for at least 6-9 months (to plan the wedding, invite guests, florist, etc.) then marry. But maybe, just maybe she was cheating on OP with her now husband, and Op ended it. Still earning her bad karma.

If you give it to her as a gift, it's hers to keep no matter what. That's why people shouldn't propose on holidays or birthdays.
DKjazz 20
Am I the only who thinks she was cheating during OP's engagement, and now that's who she's marrying?
Vidrill 22
Well, maybe it would have been a little low of him to take back a dress since he has no immediate use for it. It could have been tailored to fit her, too.

Well man that sucks for you.

That's why it's on FML

Unlucky is (I assume) already understood throughout the context of the post. Which is why it is on FML, no need to reiterate that, sir.

"Here comes the bride, all dressed in... Hmmm that dress looks suspiciously familar..

...well damn!

That sucks bro, you should have gotten the dress back or something :
rebelwithmouseyhair 18
just what would he have done with it? They're made to measure so he couldn't get a refund. Should he specify the size on his okcupid profile to make sure it fits the next woman he wants to marry?
BadKitty14 7
OP, how come you didn't take your dress with you when your relationship ended?
BadKitty14 7
If you paid for it, you have the right to take it back
perdix 31
#13, a jilted groom with a wedding dress? Nothing weird could possibly happen now!
bamagrl410 31
But even if he did take it back from her, what would he do with it? Often times you can't take wedding dresses back to the store. And I wouldn't suggest giving it to his future bride either. So then he ends up with a dress that is of no use.

83--he could sell it at a consignment shop. He probably would not recuperate even half, but at least he would get some money. Or Guy Fawkes day is about 6 months away; this year, he can wear a dress.
rebelwithmouseyhair 18
probably because it doesn't fit him very well?
Busybeth98 16
That's not the best thing... Although, I'm wondering why she would accept a proposal after 5 months (at the most. Unless she cheated on you.) But that's just me.
bettyboop428 24
My ex got married just a few months after we ended our engagement, but it only lasted a few months after that. Even he admitted it was just a rebound relationship and he was just depressed because we had split up. That could be the case for a lot of fast-paced relationships.
kellygirl83 11
My ex was engaged and had a woman knocked up within a month of me canceling our wedding. He would be married now to the woman if the divorce to the woman before me was ever finalized. I broke it off when I found out he was still married (he told me he was divorced).
Busybeth98 16
Well, I had thought that it was a rebound anyway and that it wouldn't last. But you never know, I guess. There's always the chance that they're actually really good together.
