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???????

I know soz I suddenly got the FEAR

Reminds me of Alexis in David’s wedding (Schitt’s Creek)

Not the dress, but the attitude.

@1309usernameu is that…. A good or a bad thing??? (Never seen it)

Firstly this thread is hilarious.
Secondly I think in the wedding pictures you will look like the bride which might be odd!
But if you’ve ordered it I’m looking forward to finding out the final decision!

I don't know. Have you got a plonker to pull?
I freely admit I only read your original post, and looked at the link.
But I believe my comment would still stand if you're a 6'4 truck driver with a beard to your knees, if you good in the dress, and your Son and SIl love it, then go for it.
I myself wore a long flowing light Gray with flowers, strapless dress as MoG, I sent pics of a couple of dresses to my DiL and she "ordered" me to wear that one. It was certainly the least MoG and most out there of the dresses.

Feel good! Ughhh typos!

I fucking love the dress and you are going to look amazing, OP!

Can't believe some of the absolutely shockingly rude and disgusting (incest, wtf?!) comments.

Rock it OP!

@Derkle haha no no actual physical plonker. My point is/ there’s NO BRIDE

If you and yr son are happy with comments like I can see where he got his dress sense from then go for the it.
I wore a bright red dress at my daughters wedding at her insistence. I don’t normally wear bright colours but she was all for it. It wasnt remotely bridal In Style though, so there is that.xxx

The floral version would work for sure

Your personality and the way you describe yourself says 'scamp & Dude' to me. I have a few of their dresses and wore to weddings and my 40th birthday party. Check them out 😊 But I am sure your personality will shine whatever you wear! Have a great wedding!

Some people have been really fucking ride on this thread. Have a word with yourselves.

I don't like the dress in all honesty OP, and I do think it's taking Argentinian from the grooms but you know your son better than anyone and if he would like it and you would like it then wear it.

@Firn thank you 😊 I know right. I’m not easily shocked tbh but some comments I’m like/ that’s a bit unnecessary and mean

[quote RussianSpy101]@Derkle For the love of god read the thread![/quote]
Haha ok. I will when I get a chance and I'll shut up until then!

Well he ‘told’ me he liked it so I assume he meant it?? We are very close. He is lush. We are also very similar actually. He dresses very plainly actually, but is ‘flamboyant’ and arty in his manner/personality if that makes sense.

@Derkle sorry 😂😂 I’ve had a stressful day.

No - it looks like you’re trying to be the bride. It’s not about you.

Yeah I know, I got that. My short hand in the original was DS (Dear Son) and SIL (Son in law).

I love it buy the floral one

Lol all good. I've just woken up (Au) and having my morning coffee and skimming the posts.

Ohhhhhhhhh sorry @Derkle my mistake

....why on earth not? I think the floral is nicer.

@Kenworthington

Ohhhhhhhhh sorry *@Derkle* my mistake

Oh gosh I've never had so many comments from a misunderstanding! I'm quite enjoying this. And it's all good. And I will read the entire thread when I get a chance.

I love the cream dress, it’s beautiful! The floral one looks a bit like someone fell into some curtains with a pair of scissors . It’s not as elegant. I’d ask the grooms. It’s what they think that counts , not mumsnetters after all. Why shouldn’t you want to look and feel great - not every day your son gets married (assumed this from other posts) ! They will have plenty of attention on them anyway I’m sure . Most of my gay men friends have impeccable fashion sense and would appreciate an amazing dress. I presume you’re slim and willowy- lucky you you can carry the dress off !! Enjoy it before you get older and can’t. Who knows what’s round the corner - live life while you have it and enjoy!!
