     appropriate wedding attire  

I have a question. I am planning a wedding this July. This is not going to be an extremely formal wedding. We are getting married at 10 am, and my dress is a simple, but elegant tea length gown. We are not having anyone in the wedding party.

My fiance's cousin has two daughters - 10 and 4 years old who are going to be part of her sister's wedding two months before mine. She has said that since she is spending so much money on their dresses for the wedding, that they will wear the same dresses to our wedding where they will only be guests. Apparently these are white, full length, miniature wedding gowns.

I don't feel that this is appropriate. Neither do my friends or family. My fiance has spoken with his mother to see if she will say something to his cousin. His family thinks I am blowing this out of proportion. What do you guys think? Should I just let it go or ask them not to wear the miniature wedding gowns to my wedding?

Dear Jrstrong,

This is very inappropriate. They are guests and should dress accordingly. You are not blowing this out of proportion. That being said, it may be best to leave this to his side of the family. If your future mother in law cannot dissuade her, then let it be. You won't win either way.

Best wishes,
