So my FI has been procrastinating his choosing his attendants for the wedding. We aren't getting married until May, but I want him to let them know well in advance so they can prepare to rent/buy their outfits.
Well he's got a lot of male "friends" but nobody he's super close with. His best friend is a girl. He decided, and I support the decision, to have her as a groomsmaid. Now, my bridesmaids will be wearing red dresses from Davids. Our colors are red and black, and the dress comes in black as well.
I thought I could differentiate her by having her wear the same dress, but in black, and having her stand on his side.
When I told my mom that my FI has a female attendant she gave me a dirty look and immediately shot it down. She says it will look wrong. How do I convince my mom that it's ok? We'll be having our friend as a groomsmaid no matter what Mom says or thinks, but I would feel better if my mom approved.
Something that might help her accept it would be suggestions for procession/recession.
