A WOMAN STATED THAT HER MIL IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE THEIR WEDDING, AS SHE WANTED TO WEAR A WHITE DRESS

A woman had stated that her mother-in-law had asked her to wear a white dress for their wedding, and her fiancee got mad as he stated that his mother is trying to sabotage their wedding, as she will try to steal the light from her fiancee. So she had asked on Reddit for advice. Here is her story.

She had started her story as stating where she is from and how her mother-in-law had asked her to wear a white dress. “I’m so confused, please help. I’m getting married soon, and we’re having a traditional wedding (I’m indian, my fiancé isn’t but he was fine with having an indian wedding). My MIL to be asked me if she could wear white to our wedding, I said sure and now my fiancé is really mad at me. He says she is going to try to steal the spotlight, and she’ll definitely show up wearing a long white dress and it was very irresponsible of me to just agree like that.”
Then stated that for her, it doesn’t important if she would wear a white dress, since she was going to wear a traditional dress for her wedding and stated that she couldn’t understand the worrying thing on her MIL’s white dress. “The thing is 1) I’m not going to be wearing a white bridal dress, I’ll be wearing a traditional red dress that due to the design (lehenga), type of silk and embroidery is very distinctive so even if my MIL does wear a white wedding dress it’s not like it’ll be the same?? also, this may be dumb but I don’t really get what the big deal is if my MIL wears white even if I was also going to? as long as the groom doesn’t get confused and marry the wrong person, how does it matter?”

And said that her fiancee is sad, as she shared, “sorry if this is dumb but my fiance is really upset that I didn’t stop my MIL, and I just need some help understanding, I didn’t mean to upset him.”
Then she had gave two more additional information, regarding whether her fiancee and MIL knows her wedding dress or not.
“Edit: my fiance knows what my wedding dress looks like, he has seen it”
“Edit 2: for those asking if MIL knows how my wedding dress looks, I’m not sure. We have discussed what the wedding will be like (she hasn’t been to an Indian wedding before), but I don’t think we explicitly discussed what I will be wearing, I feel like she was confused when I said she is free to wear white but that might be me projecting because the whole conversation was a bit confusing for me”

Here are some of the advices that Redditors gave to the woman.
” Based on OP’s fiance’s reaction, I’m guessing MIL has a history of inappropriate and/or attention-seeking behavior and he’s trying to break that cycle. OP should talk to her fiance to get on the same page and maybe going forward tell MIL she has to run things by him. ”
” But see, I think her dealing in thinking she got one over just to discover the bride in red would be glorious. Upstage the upstager… I think OP’s fiance should totally lean into that. Pretend nothings wrong, act unimpressed, etc… ”

” Yeah, I’m guessing from this post that MIL has never been to an Indian wedding and has no idea what she’s in for. You’ve gotta wake up pretty early in the morning if you want to upstage an Indian wedding party! ”
” I went to a Hindu wedding years ago, OMG the fabrics, the jewelry, the GOLD! It was opulent. White is really not going to stand out the way she thinks it will.
