Ask Liz: No. Nopity Nope. Absolutely Not.
Posted: December 24, 2015
I went through my Ask Liz archive on Pinterest, and found this one from The Broke Ass Bride a while back. I’ve been fighting the flu for the past few days, and ordered on several fronts to take a break.But I wanted to give you something before Christmas. It’s an oldie but funny goodie. And, yes, it’s a bit judgemental, but I can live with that:
I love these, I have these,but I also have clothing that’s more appropriate. Choose wisely. Photo: The Gap
Dear Casual,
Well, first I would put my head on a desk and bang it against the surface a few times. Oy. Then I would remind your FMIL – politely and calmly – that odds are she’ll be the only woman wearing jeans, and you expect that every other woman there will be wearing a dress, from the time the ceremony starts to the end of the reception. Better yet, mention what your mother will be wearing. That way, if she does show up in denim, she can’t say you didn’t warn her. Ask her son to talk to her, too. Encourage him to use the words “Should wear a dress.” No one wants their mother to be embarrassed at their wedding, or really, ever. And you know, pictures. She might be kidding. If not, good luck.
See you at the end of the aisle,
Liz Coopersmith
