VENT..

in New York-Hudson Valley

I just got home from work about an hour ago and FI had just gotten home from his grandmother's house.  He told me "Gram is all worried" so I said about what?  And he proceeds to tell me that she bought a dress for the wedding and it is the same color that the bridal party is wearing. Apparently, she "didn't know".  To me, this is ridiculous b/c it's been planned for 2 YEARS and all of the wedding stationary (STD and invites) are in the color.   Needless to say, FI and I got in an argument and I am not happy about this whole situation.

Am I overreacting?

    ok take a deep breath.  I think if it was one of the mothers i would be alittle annoyed. But Grandma? dont worry. Really look how worried she is. Maybe it was the only color that she liked but liked that dress, maybe she had forgotten. I wouldn't let that ruin things for you. No one will pay any attention to it.

    Don't worry about it at all.  It's not the same dress as the bridal party, just the same color.  There is a good chance that one of the guests may show up in the color also. 

    If she were wearing white, it would be an issue but the same color as the bridal party is not a big deal.

    Yes I think you're overreacting. I would call her and tell her not to worry, that you're sure she'll look absolutely fabulous.

    yeah, I realize others may show up wearing the same color.. but just thought it was customary for important guests (mothers, grandmothers) to not match the bridal party.   I guess it's not really that important, but I still would prefer for her not to wear it, but I wouldn't tell her that so I guess she will be wearing it.

    I completely understand, and I don't think you are overracting. My dad told me that his girlfriend is planning on wearing an eggplant color dress (same as my MOH) and that has me fuming! They are well aware that is the color my girls are wearing. So I can understand your frustration. However, I also agree with what was previously said, with regards to a guest showing up wearing that color. It's likely that will happen, and if it did that wouldn't bother me, so I'm trying hard not to let this bother me either....

    Let Gramma wear what she wants, it will keep all happy. It's such a minor thing, don't worry about it girl!

    I'd not worry about it and maybe have your FI call to calm HER nerves also! Good luck :)
