My daughter's future sister in law and mother in law are going to cause a divorce before the wedding. sis in law insisted to be in wedding, wants to pick her dress, color, who she walks in with in ceremony, and her role in wedding. future mother in law and future sis in law went shopping and were offended when bride didn't look at or buy the wedding dress they picked out. Sis in law wants a song at reception dedicated to her and her husband. Sis in law refused chosen color of dress for wedding, she is the groom's best woman not a bridesmaid, bride can't do anything right. Bride accused of being selfish and monopolizing all decisions for wedding. Brides only parent, funding wedding! What is proper prodical for wedding, who decides what dresses will be worn? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [cmcilroy] mother and sister dress for wedding

Dear Help,
These 'ladies' have no say. Of course, we already know that; they don't. They need to be told by the groom, who is probably hiding. I would be. The bride cannot solve this. It is his family causing the problems and he is the only one who can shut them down. The bride's decisions are the law and those women need to respect it. He needs to step up.
All of these commands by the mother and sister are foreshadowing a dark chapter in this bride's new life. Someone should stand up for her.
