Back to wearing white at the wedding for brides (5:00), wearing white isn't as traditonal as you think it was. Back in 1840 when Queen Victoria was marrying to Prince Albert, she wore white to her wedding and, her being a popular fashion icon at the time, everyone would wear white as follow of the social trend. The times before then, everyone would wear whatever best dress/outfit they had. The most expensive article of clothing they MIGHT have would be anything in PURPLE considering that was a rare color dye back and not easy to come by, unless if it's from the shell of murex shellfish. And even then, it was hard to dye the color and it would be very smelly... (and there was no such thing as deoderant or other good smelly chemical that we have today, back then) and also it was a color of holiness because it was worn by priests and royalty because they could afford it. So, no. You don't have to wear white as your dress if you don't want to (and now, you have an excuse to tell if anyone comes at you for not wanting to) and you can dress however your heart and soul goes for. Wish you a happy wedding and a beautiful marriage!
Hi Julia my youngest g est Daughter will be married in November of 2022 I and on the outs with the groom and his family. His mother is trying to ban me from attending one can she ban the parents of the bride we weren't involved in any of the reception planning and many in my family have food allergies or are vegan vegetation I'm not even allowed to help my daughter get ready on her wedding day. I've been extremely upset about this for the past 9 months we are in the last months 3 to be exact I'm really upset.
My daughter wants me to be her Bridesmaid. And her MIL is her matron of honor. I feel disrespected. I'd rather just be the MOB. What do you think? I get she's trying to match the numbers of ladies with the groomsmen, but something is wrong here, is it just me ? I love my daughter, I want to do anything she wants, but this surprised me...

Can I ignore a wedding invite from a toxic estranged family member? To reply means some contact which makes me uncomfortable.
