A bride -to-be has been defended after she nearly disinvited her future mother-in-law from her wedding over her outfit choice. In a recent post shared to the popular “Am I The A**hole” Reddit forum, the soon-to-be newlywed described how she offered to take her future mother-in-law shopping for the wedding. She noted that as her fiancé’s mother only has sons, she “thought this would be a fun thing to experience together.
” However, the woman turned the idea down and decided to go shopping with a friend instead. The Reddit poster explained that before the shopping trip, she and her future mother-in-law discussed what kind of outfits would be appropriate for guests at the wedding and had been in contact during the shopping spree. “We had multiple conversations about what kind of outfit she would end up with, and specifically spoke about how I wasn’t OK with guests wearing white or ivory, as in my eyes this is something that should be reserved for the bride,” the bride-to-be explained.
“She went shopping for her outfit yesterday, and sent me photographs of so many beautiful outfits that she tried on while she was still in the store.” She noted that none of the outfits in the photos were white or ivory, and later checked in with the groom’s mother to see if she was “successful” in picking an outfit. However, her future mother-in-law had ultimately picked out a white dress for the wedding and sent the bride a photo of the outfit.
