Future Mother In Laws Dress Change?!

Nothing. You can't dictate what she does, and it's not worth fighting over. If she wants to change in the middle, then that's her right. As long as she doesn't change into a wedding dress, I don't see the big deal. Maybe she just wants to be more comfortable for the dancing part.

Personally, I wouldn't even care. And when she changes, act like you didn't notice.

What they said.

My FMIL isn't doing this, but my mother is! Just roll with it. My mother is very outgoing and loud so I wasn't really surprised when she said she was going to do this.

I am not going to lie. It pisses me off and I am secretly hoping someone spills something on it. I know she is every much the person that needs to be the center of attention. I just thought that for one day she could let it be about her son, myself and our children finally coming together as a family.

It would kind of annoy me because I see it as an attention thing - but just try to ignore it and focus on you, FH and the kids.

Ohhhh, MIL's... dramatic attention hogs! Mine won't show me her dress... word on the street is that it's white. We'll see.

The Frank Spot I would hope not. I think that is the time you ask her to either go home and change and come back or just go home. That is not ok.

All you can really say is "Aren't you afraid you'll miss most of the party if you have to go change?!"

I don't think a dress change is needed, but like the others said you can't dictate what she wears. You're the bride, she might try but she won't steal your thunder. All eyes on you, ignore the crazies!

Well that's silly, but she's a grown woman and it's her prerogative to wear what she wants. Just roll your eyes and snark to your bridal party (in secret of course) and move on

I don't see what the problem is, actually. Yes, maybe she wants attention, or maybe she is a clothes horse and likes having an excuse to buy more than one outfit, or maybe she doesn't get to go out as often as she likes and wants to treat herself. The bottom line is that anyone who already knows her, knows this about her (i.e., FH's family), and your family will be to busy being happy for you to care what she does.

This is not worth getting upset about - truly... take the high road and let it go.

It might help to reframe the whole situation... try to think of it that you're happy for your FH that as annoying as she may be to you, she has lived long enough to see her son marry and be happy. Not everyone here can say that...

I would be extremely angry. But why does she think this wedding is about her that is my question?

I assume the issue is she likes each dress & can not decide which one she wants to where.

At this point, unless u are prepared to tell her how u feel there isnt much you can do. I would just say no one is going to make a big deal about her dress change. They probably will think its tacky since it is your day.

Every body will care mostly what you are wearing & not her. Your the star.

Its tacky of her but take the IDGAF road here.

find out when she plans on doing it, then plan something awesome for that time so she misses it hahahahaha
