At his brother’s wedding, a man faced a challenge when his attention-seeking mother arrived in a bridal dress, overshadowing the bride. The groom’s mother, known for her narcissistic behavior, wore a “ridiculously frilly white bridal dress,” as described by the Reddit user, OP. He noted, “Her dress was much more of a bridal dress than the bride’s that day.”

To counter this, OP “accidentally” spilled red wine on his mother’s dress during the reception, compelling her to leave for a four-hour trip to change. This act was seen by some as a necessary response to her behavior. The Maid of Honor commended OP, remarking, “Enjoy the best bottle of wine I could find, for the best wedding gift you could have given us.”

Despite the resulting estrangement from his mother, OP stood by his decision, receiving support from many Redditors who praised him for protecting his brother and sister-in-law. This story, shared by Monica P, underscores the extreme measures taken to shield loved ones from narcissistic antics at a wedding.
