Little background on my situation - 1) My mom passed away when I was 15, 2) The grandmother who helped raise me from the age of 8 is early signs of alzheimers, 3) My bridesmaids are either going to be at work or out of town at the time of my final dress fitting.
I decided to ask my future MIL if she would come with me to see how to lace up the back and how to bustle the dress for me. Her response was "Well that means I'd be attending the brides dressing before wedding and reception. you could ask rose or jenny...but i guess i could". This response really caught me off guard because usually she's all about wanting to be involved with things. I got overly emotional to her response (thinking because of PMS). I guess I just thought it would be a good bonding experience for us and might make it hurt less that my own mom couldn't be there. I didn't think it was taboo for the future MIL to see the future bride in her dress before her wedding day. Am I wrong? I feel like I've seen plenty of "Say Yes to the Dress" where they were there...
