How would you feel if...

Original post by Bride2Be06

Your FMIL was not getting her hair NOR her makeup professionally done on the day of the wedding?

I offered for my FMIL to have my makeup lady do her face, but she said no thanks...I was a bit worried at first because she never wears makeup and I can't imagine her doing it by herself. But honestly, I can't worry about it because there is still so much other stuff to worry about!

I wouldn't care either way. It's totally up to her whether she gets her hair and make-up done. Knowing my FMIL I don't think she will.

It would not bother me at all though my FMIL is too vain NOT to have her hair done. Make-up is another story. MY mom has worn her make up the same way as long as I can remember. For her to wear it any other way would make her uncomfortable. As far as her hair goes. She is arthritic and cannot manipulate a hairbrush well enough to have her hair look nice for a formal wedding. She also doesnt have the range of motion with her arms - she has her hair blown out twice a week - makes her feel pretty

I wish I could cut my hair short and spiky again. Then I wouldnt need someone to do my hair - it took me less than 10 seconds LITERALLY when it was buzzed.

(BTW, the necklace I am wearing in this picture was purchased by my dad for my mom on their honeymoon over 49 years ago - it is one of my fave pieces of jewelry)

No as long as she is comfortable, thats what matters to me.

It wouldn't bother me...as long as what she wears isn't embarassing to me, I don't really care.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I just want everyone to feel comfortable.

What? Hair & Make-up??? You should feel so lucky that is your only gripe. Mine definetly will do it herself,short hair & not much make-up.
But....how would you feel if it was 24 days to your wedding & FMIL (& FSIL) have NOT yet bought gowns?!!!! I swear these ppl are the root of my recent wedding related nightmares.
Last night I had my 2nd fitting and she called to say 'maybe I could go with you and browse around the shop' Ummmm...NO YOU CAN'T,you see,I ordered the damn dress LAST YEAR...AS DID MY MOTHER!!!'
Well, I didn't say that,but I wanted to.
Tonight they're going to Estelles.

Sorry I highjacked your post..

whatever she wants to do if fine with me.

i'm making my mom get her hair and makeup done because she's a little challenged in that department plus i think it'll make her feel better. she wants to do it though

I would think its a bit strange but I am sure she isnt coming with her hair up in curlers or anything.

I wouldn't bother me.



Ditto! My mom isn't getting her MU done, but she is getting her hair done. No biggie!

I don't think she will.... in fact I don't know if she will wear make-up at all. I have never seen her wear any. I can't force her to do anything and it doesn't really bother me at all.
The thing that is making me a little concerned though is I don't think she is going to get a dress that is formal enough. They are from upstate, and its so not the same there. I personally don't mind, but I don't want her to feel underdressed or uncomfortable.

It wouldn't bother me at all. My FMIL passed by FH's aunt is standing in her place. I couldn't expect her to pay for something like that, I'm sure she'll look fine with how she's comfortable doing her hair/MU.
