Basically, my fmil has been looking for a dress and finally brought me to the place to try it on. Not only is it BLACK but it is SO ordinary. I could see 5 people walk in with the same thing! But she loves it. SO I said it was nice, etc but wasn't bubbling over. I was hoping it would change her mind, but it didn't. So she called my fh today and told him that she hopes I am not disappointed. Now HE is giving me crap about how she can get whatever she wants and its not all about me!!! I want to kill them both right now!!!!!

Re: FMIL & FH drama!
Don't stress over it. - Concentrat on how YOU look ........no one is going to care what color you FMIL is wearing !! - And to be honest, it's not up to the bride to dictate what everyone can or can not wear. - If she wants to wear black, she's going to wear it. - I can understand if you're disappointed, but it's not worth agruing w/ you FH about........just let it go. - Otherwise you'll end up looking like the horrible daughter in law.

Heyyyyyyyyy.... My BMs are going to wear black !!! I think it's elegant ! - Although a lot of people DO think the same as you do, Black is too morbid. - Hmmmmmm, i STILl think it's classic

JMO, and I expect that I will get crucified for saying this: I don't get it when Brides have issues with what family members will wear! If she showed up in a TShirt and Jeans I would be upset, but it is a dress! If she is comfy, let it go. You most likely get to control what you, your FH and your entire bridal party will be wearing, I think being upset over an ordinary black dress on someone else at your wedding (even if she is the mom) is controlling and absurd. JMO!!

I have to agree with bunnymonkey here. It is your wedding, but does it really matter what she wears? Who cares what the photographer says will work. My mother wore black and looked absolutely stunning and all my pictures came out classy and beautiful. What is important is that SHE likes the dress, that SHE is comfortable and that SHE is there to celebrate the day. The wedding is about you and your FH not about what his mother wears. Nobody is even going to remeber!!
