About the 80 page white floral dress thread. Update from the bride. Should I photoshop SILs white dress?

Hiya
Was umming and aahing about posting this here or in the chat section but AIBU is where the other threads were posted. IYKYK. I have had the (dis)pleasure of reading all 80 pages.

I'm the bride and I can confirm my SIL did turn up wearing the dress to the wedding. My best friend/MoH waited until after the wedding to show me the threads since some of the posts were a bit horrid tbh and she was so right I didn't need to see that before the wedding. She organised a post wedding girls night for me and the rest of our friends group who came to the wedding and that really was such a brilliant and surprisingly entertaining way to read through and digest it all with a few glasses of wine, some music and lots of love and support.

The consensus after last night's wine & whine is that I should keep shtum about the dress and the threads to MIL/SIL in person and that it would be better to create this thread and who knows they might come across it

Another idea that was floated last night was photoshopping the wedding photos with SIL in them to make her dress pink or yellow. If this is an awful idea we blame the wine!!

This!

how did MIL behave?

it's "only a custom" in the UK. In other places it's more than just a custom. Which was the case for this wedding.

Ahhhh, now I understand your position @theGFnowWife I remember the first thread (I have a life so didn't bother with 2nd thread). I thought from the undertones in your SiL's posts that she was a bit sneering about you. I thought the dress was OK, but boringly conventional & I don't go for all-polyester, whatever the price. (As a high street shop, Hobbs is nice, but mostly for people not sure of their own taste or style ...)

Your explanation about the cultural customs of the country in which you held your wedding now clarifies a lot of things. You were trying to be helpful; your help was sneered at. I'm sorry about that.

Have a good life OP!

Unless it’s worse than this, I wouldn’t worry about what your MIL wore! This is my ex MIL!

Isn't this a thread about a thread (ATAT), which I thought was against MN rules? I got told off once for posting a comment that made a passing reference to another thread. This goes way beyond that.

😂😂😂

Love the hat. She was obviously the star of the show. Laugh emoji needed.
