Wow can't believe you'd do this to your future DIL

Can't wait to see the photo update!

Hahah hun/him both work I guess

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

FGS. It's 24 hours since OP started this and there are 566 messages! Why are people still replying to one or two of the words in the OP and ignoring all the updates/decision? Is it deliberate as a wind up, or are people really that thick?

There's no IQ test for Mumsnet 🤣🤣

It’ll be a shame if the thread fills up with insults before it arrives and I can’t share my photo!

I know you have bought the floral, I hope it suits you and you are pleased with it. I really liked the pale blue best, but agree it is a lovely dress!

Aaaah love all the dresses and OP you are fab and I cannot wait to see the photo!!

Love the dress but sadly OTT for a wedding

@Kenworthington well I think it’s a gorgeous dress!!

You can tell your DH I am being seriously and I am a massive piss taker 😂

*serious

Depends on the wedding, suspect OP will rock the look

Please don’t

I am so glad I wrote on my wedding invitations "wear what the fuck you like". If the guests are so distracted by somebody's frock that they miss the vows, can't concentrate long enough to eat dinner etc, then they have all the attention span of a jeffing fish. And any guests assuming a mother is after an incestuous relationship with her son needs a bloody therapist.

OP, fuck it. Get a feather boa, sashay in during the vows to I Am What I Am.

You sound brill and I love love love the dress in floral. Can wait to see a photo.

I also can't wait for gay DD to marry one day. I'm going to wear awesome dungarees and a trilby. Or huge amounts of tulle and DMs. If you hang on op, I'll post about in due course (she's only 14 atm) and divert some of the frankly bonkers criticism away from you.

Not sure why the OP considers others' contrary opinions to be "insults". She asked for opinions, and she got them.

For the love of God OP, DO NOT post photos when the dress arrives!!!

There’s a cohort on here - and many of them have appeared on this thread - who will stampede over their own grandmother to cut you down to size.

You do not need that negativity before the big day!

I'm gonna share a secret with you. IN Manchester gay nightclubbing is the best company and music wise. Bet weddings are similar

No!!! it looks bridal. Also far too fussy.

Don't upstage the wedding couple.

@ShowOfHands you sound brilliant!

It’s way to bridal. If I was a guest at the wedding I would think you chose that dress to piss off the bride

There's no bride it's a gay wedding for two men Sheesh

I’m glad your have ordered the dress you love, the only people who it would matter if it was too much would be your son and partner - so you are good to go!

But now the shoes - have you checked out irregular choice, I love theirs - you can even get light up ones !

I’m going to be charitable and assume English is your second language.

If not, going back and read the first sentence of the very first post.

You look fab. I applaud you not wanting a conventional boring thing from Hobbs or Phase 8. I'm sorry but I still hate the dress. I hope you love it when it arrives. Personally, I'd prefer a Westwood.

And I would wonder why you’d turned yo to the wrong wedding @Cheesecakeandwineinasuitcase 🤣

BUT THERE IS NO BRIDE!
