Mother of the groom- can I wear this???

[Kenworthington]

Before you all say don’t be ridiculous, you’ll look like the bride- there is no bride- it’s a gay wedding. I love this. lOVE it. Could get the floral one but of COURSE I want the cream one. Can I???????

Dammit! That should have been to cope with those who haven't RTFT

Maybe if you accessorize with a different colour so it looks less slightly bride-y.

No. It’s not about you so calm down. You’ll look like a wannabe bride at your own sons’ wedding.
Get yourself a nice hat if you want to be froo froo

This thread has just really amused me.
I'm a lesbian
I dress pretty outrageouslytoo but I have toned it down a teeny bit since hitting late thirties.
I think that dress is fabulous and you and your son obviously have a great relationship. :) heartwarming 💖
I want to be your friend too OP
Hope you have a fantastic day all of you.

I love it! I don’t know if it’s weird but I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding where there was a bride (even in the red or floral) but considering there is no bride and the way you’ve described your personal style I think it’s amazing, you’re going to look fab! Have a wonderful day

NO, NO, NO

Absolutely not!

What are you thinking?

I love it! I love that you’ve ordered it and I hope that it makes you feel fucking awesome on. You and your son sound fabulous and I wish him and his husband a wonderful wedding day. Have fun!

Fantastic!

Your son sounds lovely.

Hope you all have the best day.

I found it very difficult to find a mother of the groom frock. I finally decided on the pale blue, it was comfortable and looked great. So good I did the same again for his sister this time in emerald.

Fabulous in emerald. The other dresses look just too ‘trying too hard’, desperate and tacky.

@Kenworthington

When I read a really long thread- I highlight al the ops posts and read just them. Does NOOnE else do this?!

Fml

Anyway I am KNOWN for mad dress sense. It will NOT be a surprise.. it would be WEIRD if I wore a traditional mother of the groom outfit. I am even considering what boots I can get away with it.
Anyway that’s it.

I HAVE BOUGHT THE FUCKING DRESS

Me.....thats what I do every time... I read the posts so I know there is no bride and I know your ds thought it was fabulous and you've bought it! It's gorgeous and you and ds have great taste!

I absolutely love the one you ordered OP. Have a fabulous day all of you

[quote Kenworthington]@FeckTheMagicDragon there isn’t a bride![/quote]
Think this put a different spin on it. If your son and partner have no issue with it go for it. Enjoy the day it will be great whatever you wear 🥂🍾

It’ll look like you think you should be marrying your son. Very odd.

Fuck me OP! What do you have to do. The dress is so not me but it fantabulous. Wear it, enjoy it, have an amazing day and post some pics

I think it’s lovely!
I normally would say not for a wedding, but I read the thread and since there’s no bride, I think it’s grand!

@harriethoyle

Oh God - it looks like a toilet roll dolly from the top of the loo!

I was coming to say the same thing!

@Kenworthington

It doesn't matter if it's a GAY wedding. It's a WEDDING DRESS for a bride to wear.

Only the most EPIC attention-seeking-diva would wear that if they were not a bride. Plus it's a hella fugly dress.

And yeah I KNOW there is no bride, but you are clearly a massive attention seeker wearing this. The day should be about your son and his husband-to-be, not YOU. He is only being polite by saying he doesn't mind.

Im with MuffinStrops. You will be a laughing stock.

£450 to look like washed out big bird dragged through a hedge?!

I’m assuming this is a joke

PMSL!

Don't be ridiculous too bridal and too young for MOG Your son and his partner should be the focus NOT you

It's a beautiful dress. Love the floral one. I think you should be ok, as assuming the relevant couple,wont be a dress involved . Speak to your son, and ask what he thinks
