Dear Abby: MOG and dress code--oy!

She sounds sweet, @Jacqui, and well deserved by you to get a nice sm

Tina is this Dear Abby's response or yours? If it is Dear Abby I want to read what you would say!!

My only request was that everyone wear clean clothes.

Dear Seeing,

Apparently you raised a dolt or he lost his testicles somewhere along the way.

Pick a dress that you love and that someone who's advice you trust tells you you look wonderful.

Go the wedding and enjoy yourself. If she asks you to leave, tell her to go fuck herself.

Security may be called.

Have a great place in mind to go knock back a few and have some fabulous food if you are kicked out seeing as you are looking so good and will deserve it in abundance.

Keep the door and your heart open to your son and just a crack for the shrew he is marrying.

That would be my response, off the cuff

I wish Abby had suggested to have mom send the bride here, we would have had something to tell her! I don't get people thinking they should dictate what other people wear! For my wedding, I gave my mom and MIL a color swatch of the bridesmaid dresses in case they wanted to coordinate but that was it (but I also only told the bridesmaids and my MOH what color I wanted them to wear). Both my mom and MIL asked me to go shopping with them. My mom ended up with a bridesmaid's dress and I loved how it looked on her. MIL ended up wearing something she already had (I tried to get mom to wear something she already had as well, I didn't want anyone to spend more to be part of the wedding than they had to).

Also, I love the dresses you chose and I love that you and your son's MIL coordinated and it seems like you all get along, that's great as with the cute nugget you will surely see them often!

@Theresa, my dil is an only child so when it comes to holidays, I make sure to include her parents as well. Why should they be alone? Besides, I actually like them.

I have a great photo of her dad and I at the rehearsal dinner but I am fat as all get out and rather ashamed of it

Oh Tina that is perfect! Laughing out loud at my desk! Thank you!

Glad to help!

@NonnaT you're right, she is the sweetest. :-) And in everything she did, she was trying so hard to be involved in my wedding without stepping on my mother's toes. I'm lucky to have her.

Your reply to the letter writer is perfect!!

You have often heard me say "Like finds like" @Jacqui

Honestly, the son should run now, not pass go, not collect $200.

Hahaha, @Denise, Master T will not be like that!

Tina - now that's a great response lol. Love it!

Thank you @Rashane!
