Am I being ridiculous?

I think people are being pretty rude.

I would be annoyed too. I don't know if I would say anything or not... if it was white I would for sure. It's poor ettiquette to wear white to a wedding, but since it's not white, and it is a pant suit, I guess it's fine. Champagne is a VERY popular color for MOBs, so it's hard to get around it. I understand where you're coming from though.

I completely disagree with everyone. I think it is EXTREMELY RUDE OF ANYONE to wear white to a wedding if you are NOT the bride. I think this has a lot to do with tradition and some cultures /families may see the wearing of white as no big deal but I do not think ANYONE should wear the same color as the bride. PERIOD. Save a white dress for a spring fling or something. I'd put money on it...if 5 out of 10 girls that said no big deal were put in the same situation they would freak out because it is their day. It's the same reason you don't wear bright colors to a funeral.

I had responded earlier about how you are not being ridiculous, and now I have my own crap to deal with - FMIL bought a dress in the same color as the bridesmaid and almost the same exact style. And she got a chiffon wrap that matches my maid of honor/sister. So guess what? FMIL will be on the outskirts of every picture. If she wants to play games with my wedding, she can be in the back of every picture. She's lucky she's the groom's mother or else she would be disinvited.

If I wanted three bridesmaids, I would have asked someone else to be in the wedding.

Naturally, FMIL waited until 38 days before the wedding to get her dress so now it's like I can't say anything to her because she doesn't have any more time to find another dress. I mean, we've only been engaged since July 2008... you think she would have had PLENTY of time to find a dress. I bought my gown in September 2009 and have since had all my fittings and am just waiting to get it steamed. You have more options when you give yourself more time to find a dress.

I swear. Moms and mothers in law seem to think this is the time to re-live their own weddings and get the dresses they wanted for themselves but didn't get. Sorry ladies, this is MY day. You can sit in the car if you get stupid.
