Me and my fiance have been engaged for four months. We're planning on having our wedding on October 18th. My future mother-in-law kept annoying me and sending me suggestions for choosing the right wedding dress and said that she knew better and tried to get me to approve of a wedding dress that she shows. And when she couldn't enforce her decision, she demanded that I take her with me to get my wedding dress so she could have an opinion. Before I went shopping, I called her to ask if she wanted to come but started making excuses about how she was busy with my sister-in-law. I went shopping with my mama and I was able to find a really nice dress, although it cost me a little over what I saved up for, but it was worth it. I made some changes to it and it was perfect. It arrived to my apartment at the end of the week. I made sure it was stored in a safe place so it didn't get ruined. Yesterday, I got back from my mom's house and found that my fiance wasn't home. Neither was the dress. I called him immediately knowing that he must have taken it to show his mom since she's continuously asked to see it and refused to have me send her pictures on Facebook. I was so mad when it was confirmed that my fiance took it to show his mom. He said he was gonna be home in 30 minutes. After he went to the supermarket, I waited for longer than I had and when he arrived, I ran to get my dress. It was buried underneath the grocery bags. I took it to check on it and its zipper was broken and the dress itself was stretched out. I was like, what the fuck happened to it? My mother-in-law must have tried it on because it looked ruined. The straps were almost loose. I had to call my mother-in-law when my fiance told me his mom and sister took turns trying it on. I was absolutely livid. She told me she did nothing wrong and I was making a big deal about it. She said she'd get a replacement for the broken zipper, but I told her to pay for a new dress since it was stretched out and no longer fitting. She refused and said that I probably wasn't happy with my dress choice and wanted her to pay so I could get a new one. I yelled at her for trying it on and ruining it. That she and my fiance were responsible for ruining it. So they should pay for a new one. It's done. No longer fitting. The straps are in horrible condition. My mom said she'd pay for fixing it, but I just hate that someone else wore it before me. I'm out of both of them and seriously considering postponing the wedding.

First off, your husband stole your wedding dress to go show his mother-in-law, who I'm sure knew that she was being a bitch. So yeah, I'd make them pay for it.
