mother of groom in black?

My fiance's mother wants to wear black to the wedding because she already has a nice black outfit. Is this color considered acceptable for the mother of the groom? She asked me and is waiting for my answer.

    I think it's fine.  My sister's MIL wore a black and white outfit and it looked really good in the pics.  Especially the ones with just her sons with their tuxes.

    Its fine! The last wedding that I went to had the MOG in a simple black dress and the MOB was in a black skirt and red top. If location matters, I'm from Texas...

    It's perfectly fine.  As long as she's not wearing it with a scowl on her face, it's a great color on many women.

    You should tell her that anything she likes and feels lovely is in is wonderful. You should not let it bug you.     That said I come from teh culture that it is a smidge of an insult but it is clear as she is asking your opinion that no insult is meant so roll with it.

    Both my mom and step mom are wearing black, I don't know what his mom is wearing yet...  It is more common these days...

    My mom's friend wore black to her sons.  My moms dress is about half black, with some other colors on the top part.  I don't see anything wrong with it.

    My MIL wore black to our wedding and nobody, especially us, thought anything of it.

    I think that it is totally fine.  My mom, my stepmom, and the FI's mom are all wearing black dresses to our wedding next month.  I think black is classy and no one looks bad in it.
