I agree, she's overstepping her boundaries. I agree you should tell her you'll take her advice into consideration, you being polite makes her seem even more ridiculous. My concern with yessing her and then doing what you want is if she confronts you at the wedding, you don't want to be stressed about it the day of.
ughh whatevs! make it whatever you guys want! its not about her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seriously? just because its a Sat evening does NOT mean it has to be formal! We are having a Sat night wedding also and the boys are wearing tan suits. My mom had some qualms about it at first, but I told her its our day and we didn't want it super formal and that I didn't care what people told me I 'should' do. Then she was ok with it, lol. Don't let her push you around!
Remind her that its your wedding and ull pick out whatever color YOU want
WOW! I would be fuming right now if I was you. What did your FH say about his mother's behavior or more like her words? She has every right to her own opinion and if you asked her what she thought of the colors/suits she could have voiced her opinion but obviously it should have been in a little nicer way. But TEXTING you that if your FH doesn't wear a black tux that it will be a trashy wedding is terrible and completely unacceptable from the mother of the groom. What did you say back?
