I am getting married in May and my sister-in-law to be just called me up to say that she can't find a dress to wear in the colour that I've chosen (light blue). She wants to wear black. I am totally against this. From the start she's given me a hard time about looking for a dress. When the other bridesmaids went to the bridal store to buy their dresses she said that she'd go and then lied and didn't. She later told me that she's pregnant and is due two weeks before the wedding. Now this! What do I do? I do not want her marching in black. It looks horrible! I've told her that if she wants to be a bridesmaid she will have to wear the colour that everyone else is. Will she even be able to be a bridesmaid having given birth only 2 weeks before? Help I need advice.

It may be time to talk. Maybe all of this negativity is her way of trying to get out of it. She may be concerned about not having lost weight by the time of the wedding and therefore thinks black would work best for her and in that case it would look very nice as a hostess, reader or guest.

I couldn't agree more. She may be looking for a way out and not know how to do this politely. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now

I gave her a way out by saying that if she didn't have the blue bridesmaid dress she couldn't walk down the isle. She said that she understood and that it was my day and we left it like that. Later on, my fiancee calls me up and starts a fight because I'm excluding his sister. I told him that I'm not excluding her that she is excluding herself by not getting the correct colour dress. Apparently she's buying this black dress for another occasion. He's calling in the wedding planner on me. Tell me ladies a week or two after giving birth, she'll be in no shape to march anyway would she? I am so sick and tired of these wedding planning problem and his family drama. It's ruining what I always thought would be a special time not an all out one family vs the other family.
