Oh she was DEVASTATED.

And yes, obviously all those BMs were total whores.

It's a southern thing. Anna and I have discussed it at great length. I do agree that wearing a nice light dress would be much more comfortable to wear to a football game in the south than heavier clothing.

I'm wearing red to my wedding...but I have slept with the groom so I guess it doesn't matter!

I don't remember giving out any lame replies, but then again that thread had been deleted from a TK glitch or something. It's no longer there to see.

I think it looks pretty, and, honestly, if your mother feels comfortable and happy in it, then I don't think the colors matter. People will notice the smile on her face way more than the colors in her dress.

Good luck and enjoy the planning!

ErinG93 · January 2012

Damn TK. Now I will be torn on my opinion. With that, I'm off to a lunch meeting.

Whew...glad my MIL decided on purple instead of the bright red dress she first picked...that would have been a hard one to explain LOL!

That is a gorgeous dress and at first I was going to say that it wasn't too much white...but after reading what Kate said about close up shots, I will have to side with probably not the best choice...if the top was printed then that would be fine but since it is all white maybe not.

Em, as a northerner surrounded by a bunch of SEC fans here, I've discussed it before. So I was just joking around.

Where did you go to school?

jemmini6 · January 2012

I think it's a little too white on the top, but not enough that would make me tell my mom I was uncomfortable with her wearing it.

My bridesmaids actually wore something sort of similar (PIB) although there was a little less white on the top, but it looked fine. Oh...and BOTH my mom and MIL wore black dresses, I thought they looked nice.

Purdue's greek system has a newletter called the Odessey (I think...) Anyway, not sure how long it's been around, but we started getting it after we got the house in the acres; I saw it the first time I went back for IR. OMGoodness, it was hilarious. We liked to read it like it was the Onion, assuming that they knew everything they were saying was ridiculous. You can read them online.

The first one I ever saw there was an entire page spread about how to make your game day attire cuter. Including turning a boy's jersey into a dress.

J&K10910 · January 2012

I've been thinking it for awhile, but this post puts Santana solidly in the "troll" category for me.

santana9505 · January 2012

Glad I cleared that up for you J&K

MattsPenguin · January 2012

Kate - and that's Purdue specific? Doesn't seem like a Purdue thing. I mean, by the end of the season the goal of your game day outfit is to be as warm as possible. I could care less how cute I looked.

Although I did buy the shirt "Purdue Girls Rock". And I'm pretty sure my friend has the pink Harry's shirt "Drink 'Em Cute!"

J&K10910 · January 2012

I'm not really sure what you expected, given what you told us, then never coming back to update, and launching into "ZOMGWEDDING" questions.

I mean, way worse has been said about people's FIs/Hs for far less. We don't know him, we only know what you tell us.

And then you come back and are a brat about it, and expect people to just answer the question you asked. Right.

Rach, I go back and forth on this "issue". I saw this older lady (like 60's) at the Clemson game and she just looked so nice in this pretty orange sweater and purple scarf. Like really nice. I leaned over to Matt and said "That's what I want to look like at football games in 30 years."

[QUOTE]I see plenty of "help me dress myself" threads. I don't really see the big deal about Santana posting about what she should wear to a Bridal Expo. Maybe a little odd, but I don't think she deserves as much flack as she is getting. Santana, what does your mom want to wear? Ok, done. She wears what she wants! <strong>*Now I'll forever be Captain Save-a-Somebody.*</strong>
