Hello ladies...

Ok.. I need some advice. I am getting married in a few months, and my mom has yet to pick out a dress for my wedding... not a big deal, tiem has nothing to do with it... what I am worried about is that I will not be there to HELP her pick out her dress. Case in point... my brother got married a few months back and the dress she picked out was a slinky red number that was above the knee, and had quite a deep neck-line.. (too deep for her then mother-of-the-groom status)... she and my brother got into a huge fight over it.. he didnt want her standing up his wife on her wedding day.. totally understandable... well because of that incidient she is now being super illusive about what she plans on wearing on my day. I love my mom ... so much... and I get it... for almost 50 she has a killer bod... but I am trying to figure out how to get her to chanel her maternal side and realize that MY wedding is NOT ABOUT HER... But I want to do it in a way that wont cause a fight... any thoughts???

    In away its kind of about her. Your her daughter and she is pumped! That being said, i totally understand what your saying. But NO ONE is ever going to outshine a bride on their day. ( and if they do thats when you put the BMs on beat down alert jk jk) 

    What type of person is your mom? She might have felt embarrassed and hurt that your brother "yelled" at her and it caused a fight. So she might just being trying to avoid any drama having to do with your day. If anything make a date out of the whole thing and go shopping together. A womens age and what they wear varies. My mom is 60+ and shes smoking hot and i would never expect or want her to wear something that covers her completely up. 

    Take it this way, your momma is one sexy lady you got lucky and got good genes! 

    Truth in girlie is that you are the bride and no one can take away your day but you. Dont be overly concerned on what she is going to wear. Like it or not, your mom is gonna do her. If you question what she wears it may really eff up her self esteem especially if she already had an issue at your brothers wedding.

    The MOB and MOG are adults. They should choose dresses that suit their own individual styles and the formality of the wedding. The bride only has a say in what the members of the wedding party will wear. The parents  are not part of the wedding party.

    It seems like your mom wants to choose her dress without input from anyone. You should just let it go.
