To not attend DFriend's wedding because of DS?

[Refreshed]

The bride to be has asked me via text today if she can ask a favour (complete with that annoying monkey emoji with its hands covering its face)

She asked if I would mind just putting my DS in something basic she picks out for him, as she knows how I have the best ideas and how lovely I dress him and doesn't want him mistaken for the wedding party.

I have no idea what she's going on about. A few other friends have been invited to the wedding and they've received no such texts about their DC clothes! I find it so bizarre.

Would I be unreasonable not to go now? It's in March.

She asked me to style her flower girls and paige boys. She know full well I wouldn't dress my own child in the same as them.

It's totally up to you what clothes you put your son in - and if he takes away from the others tough luck.

If you don't want to go though - this is a good excuse but you'll end up falling out with her. She is being. dick though

Thanks Crapette! I was so confused lol.

@happyher @catchuptv - RTFT!

Really glad you sorted it out. I'll refrain from suggesting you wear your wedding dress at this point!

Weddings send people crazy and I thought this was an overreaction. Then I remembered my MIL bought a long white dress for my wedding and was outraged when I asked her to find something less “white”. People are crazy!

If she wants to pick fault with the way you dress your child then let her find someone else to dress her pages and flower girls. The nerve of her!

@Isaura read the thread.

@Passthewinebottle GOYHH

I have! It is what I think.

Sorry for the confusion OhCaptain.
I should have clarified.

Thanks @crapette.

@catchuptv Riiiiiiight

@Isaura you clearly HAVEN'T read the thread, because it turns out the bride ISN'T picking fault with what the OP plans to put her child in!

Read the bit about how someone lied and told the bride that OP was going to dress her son the same as the pageboys!

Welcome to the thread Ms Middleton, your children are beautiful!

D Friend? DS?

Oh wow !!

Well that makes a lot more sense. Glad you got it sorted out.

FWIW, I thought both outfits were gorgeous.

Why not just ask outright?

What a load of bollocks about picking a basic outfit!

But why would she even believe it?

Glad you got to speak and sort it out.

Scary that someone would do that!!

Glad it’s all sorted OP , can’t stand shit stirring people !!

She is maybe politely not wanting your son in pictures looking like some royal Prince from decades ago. Sorry but I think people who dress their poor kids in these outfits are ridiculous. Most do not look comfy and their poor wee chubby legs are exposed to the cold for the sake of 'fashion'. Maybe a baby was fine but a two year old! Prince George looks miserable half the time, I think he is old enough to realise his costumes look ridiculous.

If it was me, I'd rather see kids dressed up in waistcoats and bow ties or party dresses than shorts and crocs at a wedding. It's a party for goodness sake, they should enjoy getting dressed up too.

Ahhh glad it's all sorted :-)

You tried to contact her. She hasnt answered - realises shes nuts.
My children have all been dressed in the type of clothes you have pictured. I would absolutely take my child to the wedding dressed as I intended.
These beautiful traditional style clothes are lovely quality and fabrics, they wash so well, some of my "boy outfits" have lasted through 4 boys without a mark and still look brand new, the girls ones are on their third outing. In continental Europe these are normal sunday wear and aren't something designed to show your children off. They are smart young childrens clothes. Your friend is insane.
If she is your friend she should be accepting you and your child as you are, if she mentions this again id be raising an eyebrow and asking her what she thinks about me! I wouldnt be changing my childs clothes to appease someone else who wasnt happy about my outfit choice as a wedding guest.
Lunatic! - her not you.
