Question

My son is getting married and his fiance wants me to wear a dress to the wedding she has picked but i no like?

Answer 1

tell her you hate it... she should understand..

Answer 2

talk to your son about it. wear the dress to show him and ask his opinion ?

Answer 3

I would suggest that you need to try and talk to her and let her know you dont feel comfortable in the dress, and perhaps you could go shopping together and reach a compromise.

If she complains about it being "her day" then remind her that if she intends to spend the rest of her life with your son, then the photos will be on your wall indefinitelty and you want to be happy about what you are wearing whenever you look at them :)

Answer 4

Just talk to her about it. If you haven't been one of those evil MIL (which you probably haven't), then she'll probably compromise.

Answer 5

Why?

I mean why has she picked your dress out?

Plan a shopping trip & go together to buy your dress so that you both are happy.

Answer 6

Wear it for the photos then change in to something you like afterwards.

Answer 7

It's only one day, one dress. Humor her. After he's married, SHE'LL be the one who has to get him out of bed to go to work in the mornings!

Answer 8

I think it's very rude to dictate what anyone outside of your wedding party wears to the wedding.

Having said that, are there any aspects of the dress you DO like? (color, shape, etc.)  I would try saying "You know, Bride, I really like this aspect of the dress, but was hoping for something a little more (formal, casual, warmer - insert adjective here).  Could we maybe go shopping together and find something that would be a happy compromise?"   That is, if you don't mind going shopping with her.  This way, your acknowledging her choices, but also voicing your opinion.

If go shopping isn't an option, try finding some dresses online that you could send her pics of (once again that match some element of the dress she picked out) and mention the happy compromise.  

Good luck - hopefully she'll realize she's being a little ridiculous!

Answer 9

Why on Earth would she pick your dress out? I cannot begin to imagine what response I would have received if I had attempted to dictate to my mother or mother in law what they should wear to my wedding!Tell her that as a grown woman you are perfectly capable of choosing your own dress thank you!

Answer 10

Just do this one thing to make your son happy and tell the photog just get you from the neck up

Answer 11

Too god d**n bad! This is HER wedding. Put your self in her shoes.

Answer 12

It reminds me of one of the movie of jennifer lopez. My advice is try to talk to the bride and tell her that you're not comfortable with that dress, I'm sure she will understand.

Answer 13

Suck up and wear it.  No need for you to be a monster-in-law before the wedding even happens.
