Is this outfit too much for an Irish church wedding in May?

[ahsurelookit]

Another wedding guest one sorry!!

I am part of the grooms family. I will be doing one church reading and will be in a few pictures. I bought this and loved it. But now I am thinking it is too much? I am a size 14, 5'6'' tall, my bum/ bust measurements are equal and my waist is defined. I'm 36

Irish church wedding in May

I think it’s not a good choice - the colour, the exposed shoulders (not because of church, because tacky) - you’d stick out, and not in a good way.

OMG this thread is cracking me up 😂 Breathnóidh tú go h-álainn sa ghúna sin, absolutely wear it!

Remember a jacket! Or a cardigan

Last wedding I was at the bridesmaids were wearing black

Exactly 😂 mine ended at 4am and I thought that was early finish!!!

PLEASE tell me how you do a fada.

And a mahoosive picnic basket in the car on the way, full of snacks in case of starvation before dinner is served.

Gorgeous. I love that.
My dd wanted it but the groom vetoed it. Bastard 🤣

On a phone, keep your finger on the letter needing the fada, it will show you options, pick the fada.

Condescending and rude. As expected.

Genius.

Go raibh maith agat.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Card carrying actual Irish catholic here , “ the dress is perfect “ we’ve moved on a bit since your granda’s day and as a previous poster said “ as long as the priest can’t see your knickers or knockers you’re grand !! 😘

At my wedding (in England) most of the English guests (my lot) were thinking about heading home at midnight. DH's Irish family were just getting started and were still going strong hours later. It was great craic. The English lot who decided to stay had a brilliant time too, especially when the Irish dancing started, followed by the singing

OP's dress is fine for a wedding in Ireland, the dressier the better here. Weddings are full-on glam, think evening wear during the day.

I can’t see nothing about this dress that would mean a standard bra wouldn’t work?

Another Irish person here, used to be Catholic, that is a lovely dress for an Irish wedding. Enjoy!!

As an Irish person that is totally fine for a church wedding and you won’t stand out at all.

Absolutely fine! I think you'll look lovely. X

With respect, the words "England, CofE," conjure up conservative, repressed vibes. Not every country, or every church, is like that. No-one would turn a hair at a wedding guest wearing that here.

It's fine OP, if you like it, then wear it. MN generally has weird views on what is suitable for weddings and funerals - the world has moved on, MN posters often haven't.

Ach, you'll be grand OP

It really isnt.

So you are saying that Irish people don't have standards?
