MIL wearing white

[2016mumma]

Hi all,
So I don't drip feed but too long to write it all down...so slight overview incase it's relevant.
My MIL and I always got on brilliantly until my DS was born a year ago, since then she has been opinionated on every decision we make as his parents and if we ask her not to do something she will infront of us go against our wishes, with the excuse of it's what Grandmas do. That's a whole different thread.
We get married in September and yesterday MIL announced she was wearing a off white dress for the occasion. AIBU to be a little hurt by this I believed the etiquette of weddings was only the bride wears white?
I am trying really hard not to take it personally and as a fingers up to me ( although this is something she would do) she always wants to be the centre of attention and will play the victim if ever we try to discuss the way she is with DS.
If I am being reasonable in that it's not the done thing to do, do we say something or keep our mouths shut for the sake of keeping the peace.

Whisky I disagree that every MIL wears white or ivory or cream to undermine their DIL.

My MIL wore white to my wedding and wore white to another family members wedding. She makes no secret that she dislikes me and has a sour face for the whole day, complained she didn’t like she food she was served and wouldn’t eat it, reflected very badly on her.

Does she read the online version or the actual paper? Surely this wouldn't hit newsprint?

@2016mumma get HQ to delete the post about your son's birth day. Other than that you could be anyone!

Actually, isn't this ideal? If she reads it she might think twice. If she reads it and realises its about her and that most people think she's an ignorant cow, she might actually change course.

Thankfully I haven't been working today so could keep an eye on the thread
Thank you all for your replies. Been a huge help x

Daily Mail journalists are lazy cunts, fwiw. As you were.

Nobody cares what other guests wear

17 pages - I think people do care enormously

Only if it's their MIL GreenTulips.

She wore white to the registry office.

The Queen didnt go to the registry office. She only went to St Georges chapel.

My MIL did the same thing (however I didn't get advanced notice on the colour of her dress). She wore a fitted strappy cream Alannah hill dress on my wedding day- but the funny thing was I wasn't too fussed. What was amusing was that everyone else commented on how inappropriate her dress was - in terms of colour and that the style was too young for her age (even people who looked at the photos afterward and weren't even at the wedding). Lets face it, the attention isn't going to be on the Mother of the Groom on your wedding day. If she is doing it to get a rise out of you, don't give her the satisfaction. Take the higher road (as often as possible - even though its hard sometimes) and know that over the years if you continue to ignore her attempts to get under your skin, she will continually bring herself undone. x x x
