To disageee that a bride can't decide?

[mummytofourbabies]

Was invited to a wedding and have since received an email from the bride telling me that all guests are forbidden from wearing a hay or fascination?
Wtf?
Does this actually happen now?

[LineyReborn]

Goodness, what a development.

[Somerville]

I'm going to wear flowers in my hair. My guests can do whatever they like with their own heads - though, remembering my first wedding, if they turn up in a more impressive hat than my mother's they'll be off her Christmas card list forever.

[Idratherbeaunicorn]

She might have said you cant wear hats / fascinators - but she didn't say you cant wear a Wedding Dress....

[HunterHearstHelmsley]

Do people really still wear hats to weddings?!

[BingBongBingBong]

Not placemarking...

[Needfinsnow]

Oh wow this just got interesting!! (Not place marking..honest)

[RaspberryOverload]

This just got interesting.

But I hate wearing hats anyway. OTOH, a bride can't really dictate what guests wear.

[Benedikte2]

Never worn a hat since I left school where hats were a compulsory part of the uniform (as were gloves and a prohibition on eating on the street)
Am hoping to learn more about this situation

[Butterpuff]

Id be so disappointed. I love a hat.

one guy came as Indiana Jones

BarbarianMum, I love you and I love your friends. That is so ace.

[Youarenotprepared]

To be honest I would assume there's some backstory involving a batty relative who intends to wear ridiculous headgear in an attempt to overshadow the bride and piss off the photographer.

As a photographer massive hats are actually a royal pain in the arse to work around. I'd actually love to ban them. I didn't for my wedding but I don't actually recall anyone wearing one.

I am a guest at this wedding in question - and do you know what the ironic thing is? This poster isnt even invited to the wedding! She is just an interfering gossip stuck at home with her kids bitching about someone elses life. Log off mummytofourbabies and get a life

How on earth do you know it's the same wedding? I can imagine this being something a good few brides might do due to "hats spoiling photos" or some relative wanting to wear an insane hat to draw attention from the bride. You sound incredibly bitter tbh and aren't coming across well.

[QuizteamBleakley]

Oooh, #awkward. Hugely interesting and car-crash-esque but awkward nonetheless. blatant placemarking

[mummytofourbabies]

Oh my..this is hilarious. received two very exciting inboxes from haggis and someone else claiming that I'm taking about a wedding their attending.
The wedding I'm talking about is on 5th November and is in Stonehaven. If that's the same one then well done on ur detective skills. But I know for 100% fact it is not the same wedding as I'm definately a guest, But unless I've been uninvited since talking to the groom last night I will certainly be at that wedding. in reply to ur inbox no my partner doesn't work with the groom he is in infact a very old childhood friend. We stay about 4 hours from them so would be a bit difficult for them to work together unless they did one hell of a commute. Clearly your wires have been crossed somewhere along the line

This has made my day

[mummytofourbabies]

And haggis I told u where it was near, there's many places near Aberdeen with many available dates for weddings.

[ArcheryAnnie]

So, Haggis, if the wedding you are at is also a hat-free zone, do you know why?

mummytofour - you might want to get your last post removed - there's a few too many bleeding obvious little giveaways and identifying info in there.
And then go buy a hat...

[Glowbug59]

Cardigans and shawls were banned at a wedding we were invited to. Winter winter. I was pregnant at the time so handily had an inside heater.

[Youarenotprepared]

Well it turns out that you are right that apparently banning hats is now a thing as seemingly at least 3 people are currently doing it.

I also love that there couldn't possibly be more than 1 mum with 4 kids attending 1 wedding.

[Somerville]

She might not have told you her real name.

But even if she did, that's not the point.

None of us were aghast at the OP herself (well a few at the textspeak). And whether or not she's attending isn't really the point.

Most of us, however, think that it is impolite unreasonable for a bride to dictate to guests that there is an item of clothing, commonly worn to weddings, that they are not allowed to wear or they won't be allowed in - simples.

Are you the bride?!

[MrsJayy]

I suggest you get yourself a pair of deelyboppers not a hat or fascinator

mummytofour - you might want to get your last post removed - there's a few too many bleeding obvious little giveaways and identifying info in there.

Not everyone is bothered about being "outed" I think she is just being transparent as she's being accused of being " an interfering gossip stuck at home with her kids bitching about someone elses life"

I name change but I am pretty sure I could be identified in about 30 seconds by 80% of people who know me. My DH identified me the other day based on a 1 line quote and my username that was on yahoo...

[Somerville]

I don't think the dates and locations of the hat-hating brides' weddings need posting, do they?
