My daughter is getting married in October this year. She is wearing an ivory gown with a cathedral train. Bridesmaids are wearing candle apple red and maid of honor is wearing latte. My dress is black with a sequinned top and a small train, which my daughter has approved. The mpther of the groom chose a wine colored skirt/top of strectch material. She is a very large size woman and doesn't have alot of money to spend on a dress. I personally don't like the dress but my daughter says it's okay due to the fact MOG had a hard time finding one to fit her. I just want everything to look nice for my daughter. Is the MOG type of dress appriopriate? Thanks for your input.

Dear Mom:
It's hard to tell exactly what this dress looks like but your bride has approved so I am sure it is fine. Besides, if we were to say that it is not, there's not much for you to do about it. As you say, the mother of the groom doesn't have a lot of money to spend or a lot of choices. She has already purchased the dress; I would leave it alone. Leave your daughter to work out her issues with the grooms side of the family. Getting involved could really cause you grief and this is not something that will ruin the wedding. Pick your battles and remember that, when you're dealing with people and have lots of personalities involved, there are bound to be differences in opinions. As long as a particular issue is not going to cause you or your daughter any direct embarassment I'd overlook it.
Don't strive for perfection...you'll be sure to be disappointed. Please enjoy this wedding planning and time with your daughter. It goes too fast! Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
