To not attend DFriend's wedding because of DS?

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.

I don’t think mocking an entire nations national dress code is a good idea!
Nothing wrong with men in kilts.

@HeadachesByTheDozen has very firm ideas about weddings.

@HeadachesByTheDozen
Look how good a kilt looks.

I didn't say it to be unkind, just that I think it's horrible.

@Trunkysaurus I did read the full thread, I had been following it. My comment pertained solely to the outfit. Not sure how commenting on the outfit only, means I didn't RTFT?

@Headaches calling an innocuous pastel blue and white outfit ‘absolutely hideous’ says more about you than the outfit.

HeadachesByTheDozen · 24/02/2020 09:41

Really? Because I (and others on here as well) think it is, that means I'm bad simply because of that? So you believe everyone should think like you and it says more about them if they don't? I think your post reflects on yourself.

Btw I have asked for my initial post to be removed since it seems to have upset people.

You can say you don't like it, or that you think it's not appropriate.
Your actual words were nasty.

And it doesn't mean you are bad, but your post was.

Fair enough. What I said though was genuinely what was going through my head. However I need to learn to not just say everything I think, I've gotten in trouble before IRL for that, lol. I found out last year I have Aspergers and I was doing really well in thinking before speaking for awhile, unfortunately I find I am slipping back. It's a wake up call for me.

I apologise unreservedly to the OP, and to other posters.

Laugh it off and tell her you won't dress him like the wedding party. Maybe she needs to up her game

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/02/2020 14:08

@Catsick36 - it's all been sorted out now, if you read the OP's updates.

copperoliver · 24/02/2020 14:34

I was going to say the other day , I bet some has told her seeing as you are sorting the other outfits, you are going to dress your son the same. ( I thought to myself don't post that no one would be so horrible) how wrong was I.
Also you dress your son lovely from the outfits shown. I love Rachel Riley style of dress. X
