WOMAN WANTED HER MIL OUT OF HER WEDDING FOR HER DRESS, HER HUSBAND HAD DECIDED TO SUPPORT HIS MOTHER

A man had stated that over a debate of dress, he had picked the side of his mother, and wanted to know that if he was right or wrong, on Reddit.

“I got married recently and it was a beautiful day. We considered not inviting my mother, because she is not a happy supportive person in our lives, and she has many issues with my wife. Ultimately we decided to invite her just because it is a big day, and her brand of crazy is very quite and not attention seeking.” the man had stated.

Then he had added that he is picking his wife’s side on most of the matters, but when it was about the dress of his mother, he had picked his mother’s side. “I take my wife’s side almost all of the time, and definitely every time in front of my mother, but one thing my wife does that drives me crazy is nitpick my mother’s clothing and assume there is always a subliminal message. She was offended by what she wore to the rehearsal dinner because the dress had small cut outs on the side, but one of her bridesmaids wore a fancier crop top and skirt combo and she wasn’t offended by that. She was also bothered by the headband my mom wore to our engagement dinner because it was more bejeweled than the ring, and my MIL ripped it off my mom’s head and tried it on.”

“Anyway my mom wore black to our wedding. I’ve never even heard of that being a taboo thing. My dad got married a couple years ago and the bridesmaid dresses were black. My wife said it was offensive because it is a funeral color, but my mom was wearing a nice lacey one sleeve cocktail dress, not something drab like you would wear to a funeral. She asked me to ask her to either change or leave.” he continued.

“My wife was understandably hurt and felt I didn’t have her back on our big day. I even offered to pay to have the color changed in photos, though thankfully my mom just disappeared during family pictures, because she either didnt want to be in them or assumed she wasn’t wanted.” he concluded.

Here are some of the comments of the Redditors.

“NTA. I’ve worn black dresses (like LBD/cocktail style) to weddings. It’s not like your mom wore a mourning veil and covered herself head to toe like a Victorian widow. I think your wife is over sensitive due to past history and sees insults where there aren’t any.”

“My grandma I loved her but sometimes she could be, well difficult. For my uncle’s second wedding, she did not approve (my uncle had divorced a few years prior due to cheating, he was getting married to the AP, the wedding was pushed forward due to pregnancy, she loved my uncles first wife, any of those reason was pearl clutching enough but all combined it was a mess) For the wedding she wore a black cocktail dress, minimal accessories and no makeup.”
