Honestly why are so many Mumsnetters incapable of reading properly?

OP: I have a green dress to wear to my son’s wedding. However, the mother of the bride is also now wearing green. AIBU to think we can both wear green? They are completely different shades.

And the replies:

‘I don’t understand why you’re wearing green to your wedding. Wear white like everyone else!’

’As the mother of the bride you can wear whatever you want.’

’Why are you desperate to create drama? You knew MoB was wearing green!’

’I’d say change the dress if they’re the exact shade OP!’

’Why do you have your dress so early? I’ve only been to summer weddings so it seems too early to get a dress’.

Why can’t people read and understand what they’re reading?

Don't forget the posters who cried 'I'd do everything possible to attend my sibling's wedding' but didn't actually say how they'd overcome any of the OP's issues.

Yes, it was a perfect storm of not reading the OP and typical Mumsnet Anglocentrism and ignorance of anywhere outside the M25.

That said, I was kind of hoping to come back on this thread to someone frothing how dare I describe Sunderland as "wild".
