Dear Abby: MOG and dress code--oy!

DEAR SEEING GREEN: Your son's fiancee appears to be rude, self-centered and insensitive (to put it mildly). That she would actually force you to choose between an outfit that makes you feel overexposed and not attending.

This reminds me of the poor lady who was asked to leave her friend's daughter's wedding because she was wearing yellow. Well, she could leave after dropping off the flowers...

Good lord, who are these people?

My mom told me the other day that she's going to wear a purple dress to match my sister/MOH. I was like "Okay, have at it, can't wait."

Aw hell no.

What does the groom say?

People are so inconsiderate!

My mom, FMIL, and grandmas have asked me multiple times what dress I want them to wear. I keep telling them I really don't give a crap as long as they're there to show support. MOB/MOG dresses are the last thing on my mind.

Wow! What a bridezilla. If I tried telling even my own mother what to wear i would get slapped. Her FH better run.

Say what?!?!? Wtf wants to wear a green dress? LORD HAVE MERCY!! I'm sorry you are going to have a FDIL like this. Your son should step in. Idk what else to say.

@MissWtoMrsH, this is not me, I read it in Dear Abby.

But I agree, I would feel sorry for anyone who would have to go through this, the son should intervene.

She did go on to say that she is pretty sure she wouldn't be seeing much of her son.

Sad, sad, sad.

I could never imagine being that rude to ANYONE, and especially not my FMIL. Where do people like this come from?!

That's ridiculous. So sorry you have to go through that. My Mom found a beautiful MOB dress on sale at JCPenny's the other day. It's a beautiful, pale shade of green. My colors are blush, gold, and cream so it doesn't match anything and who really gives a shit? It's beautiful and she looks, and more importantly, feels beautiful in it. She could literally wear anything and feel like she loved it so much, and I would be happy about it. Her only daughter is getting married, so this is a once in a lifetime moment for her as well and I want her to feel great for it!

Oh I see its not about you @Nonna T, but it's still the most ridiculous crap I've heard about for a while...lol

My wedding I specifically told the bridal party and my MIL not to wear strapless or show any cleavage, because the ceremony was at a church. So what happens my MIL wears a low cut cleavage dress with straps that exposes her arms. Granted she is 60 years old and those boobs should not be shown in public. She walked my husband down the aisle and now I have pictures of her chest and flopping arms forever imprinted in my album. Maybe she doesn't want you to look good in the pics.

Wow that is very Bridezilla! I would never do that to my mom or FH's mom...

If thats they she treats his mother I dont see the marriage lasting very long... I wonder what he has to say about this. I would probably find a shade of green that I look good in ( i'm pale so most would make me look sick) in a conservative style and then when she makes a scene and kicks me out make sure everyone knows why... Honestly if shes gonna treat HIS MOTHER that way then the wedding is already a disaster and the marriage is ruined.

This is me and the mob at my son's ceremonies (Hindu and Christian). The bride told us to wear what we wanted so the mob and I coordinated a bit.

See, this is RIDICULOUS! Rude beyond belief.

And I'm getting the flip side of the coin and I don't get it! Both my mom and MOG asked me separately what I wanted them to wear. I was beyond confused and said "whatever you want!" And they looked at me like I grew a ninth head. I refuse to tell them and if they ask my opinion on their outfits I'll politely give them input (neither would pick anything outrageous, so that's good).

Is it really a common thing for a bride to tell people what to wear?

Sounds like your son needs a new bride

@Shantel, my son's bride is fine. This is a Dear Abby article

Besides, I am 60, not in my 40s!

Omg. Didn't we just have a bride on here demanding that of her MOH????
