more wedding a-holeness: dear prudie - My Future MIL Wants To Wear Her Wedding Dress to My Wedding - help!

Wedding Dress? Me Too!: My future mother-in-law would like to wear her wedding dress to our wedding. I’m less concerned about the dress and more concerned about what this says about our future relationship. She is a very kind, considerate person, and I am certain that she knows this is not a very nice thing to do. What could her possible motivations be and what should I do about it? I’m inclined to let her wear whatever she wants, as it doesn’t bother me as much as maybe something else would. Should I pick my battles, as they say? Or will not saying something make me seem like a pushover?

She'll look like an idiot. - pmb May 22, 11:33 1
- Have one of the MIL's aunts, sisters, bbfs talk to her, while there are relatively few taboos in dress codes these day, *that* is still standing -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 11:46
what does the dress look like? if it's not a 'wedding dress', who cares? if it is clearly a 'wedding dress', then she's crazy and needs to back - San Andreas May 22, 11:33 5
- I know nothing, but I bet it doesn't look like your wedding dress (which doesn't look like a traditional wedding dress). -- nm - Diva May 22, 11:34 4
  - heh,. i know you don't know, but that actually matters. like, if she got married in a suit... -- nm - San Andreas May 22, 11:38 3
    - in all seriousness my future MIL wore a red dress to our wedding. - Diva May 22, 11:45 1
      - yeah, i didn't care either - i had people say to me 'what if someone else wears *red*?" my answer was "someone probably will" - San Andreas May 22, 11:46
    - I agree. -- nm - Diva May 22, 11:40
