Bride-to-be horrified when Facebook troll sends her fiancé pictures of her wearing wedding dress

Amber Merritt had already bought a wedding dress for £450 when she fell in love with another gown.

She decided to ask social media for some advice about what to do, but not wanting her fiancé to see, she decided to post in a private group, where she knew he wasn’t a member,

But within a few minutes, a troll using a fake account took her pictures and sent them to him in a bid to ruin the surprise.

Other members of the group had warned Amber so she had told Michael not to open any messages from unknown Facebook users.

Amber, of Farnborough, Hampshire, said: ‘I was in total disbelief. I couldn’t get over it. I can’t believe someone would take the time out of their evening to do that.

‘They clearly just get a kick out of being an annoyance.

‘I believe it’s bad luck for the groom to see the dress before the wedding so knowing someone sent it to him was really annoying.

‘It’s literally like a stranger wishing you bad luck in your marriage. It’s horrible.

‘Luckily after I put the post up people had warned me that this might happen. It hadn’t even crossed my mind.

‘I don’t have any known enemies and I didn’t think that some stranger would do that.’

Michael asked her to marry him six months ago and they’ve set a date for August next year for their dinosaur-themed wedding.

Amber chose a dress about four months ago with an embellished lace corseted bodice and tulle skirt.

She does think it’s beautiful but didn’t feel excited by it and it needs a lot of alterations.

However, last week Amber was scrolling through Facebook when she spotted a £200 size 8 lace mermaid gown with a slimmer fit and a sheer button-up back.

When she tried it on, she fell in love and needed some reassurance about what to do.

She posted in a wedding group asking for advice: ‘Girls I am in a serious predicament.

‘I already have a wedding dress that I paid £450 for and I love but needs a lot of alterations and additions such as straps taken off and adding crystals on the skirt because it feels so plain on the bottom.

‘But I saw one on Facebook for £200 and I went to try it on and I am in love.

‘I want to buy it but I need some more encouragement that it’s better than the first one.

‘I feel like it fits better so needs fewer alterations, just spaghetti straps or something because it doesn’t stay up great with my big bust.

‘I can sell my original dress and get a veil for less than my current dress..’

Amber’s post was flooded with comments telling her to buy the other dress but she also got some warnings about posting the pictures.

She asked Michael to give her his phone so she could open any message requests and delete them before he saw anything.

She added: ‘Within minutes, he came over to tell me he had a message and when I opened it there were all the photos of me in the dresses.

‘I think it was a fake account because there wasn’t a profile picture and some of the girls from the group have said the same.

‘If I hadn’t been warned and Michael had just opened that message, I don’t know how I would have felt and I don’t want to know. I would have been absolutely furious.’

Amber updated her Facebook post adding: ‘Girls thanks for the warning because it actually happened. Can’t believe someone would send my partner the pictures. WTF. Sad people.

‘Luckily I told him to hand me the phone if he got any random messages so he still hasn’t seen so f*** you whoever you are with your sad life.’

Other members of the groups were outraged for Amber, branding the troll a ‘horrible cow’ who ‘doesn’t deserve to get married or have a beautiful dress’.

But Amber has now bought her dream dress and says she wishes she could wear it everyday.

The bride-to-be will wear the floor-length mermaid gown for her ceremony before changing into a shorter dress to dance the night away at her reception.

Amber said: ‘My new dress is absolutely lovely. I definitely know it’s the one.

‘I thought the first dress was the one but I never really got that emotional or excited about it.

‘But as soon as I tried on the new dress, I got so excited. I can’t wait to wear it. I wish I could wear it everyday.

‘I know Michael will like it. He’ll love it.’
