She Wants To Wear A Black Wedding Dress When She Gets Married But Her Fiancé’s Family Is Not On Board With Her Decision
A 25-year-old woman is going to be getting married to her 27-year-old fiancé in 2022, and though they both are deciding on the details of their wedding together, her fiancé has happily let her be in charge of a lot of the decisions.
Her fiancé thinks the whole thing is less stressful with her in charge, and they’re both good with this arrangement.
Their wedding is going to be on the smaller side with 50 guests in total, and she and her fiancé both think it’s ideal to only invite their closest family members and friends to their special day.
They are also choosing to have a child-free wedding, and this has made some waves on her fiancé’s side of the family because they want to bring their kids.
Another major issue her fiancé’s side of the family has taken up with her is over her wanting to wear a black wedding dress.
“The reason I want to wear a black dress instead of a traditional white one is simply because white doesn’t suit me,” she explained.
“I have very fair skin and platinum blonde colored hair, so white and light neutral colors wash me out and make me look ill.”
“I can’t tan but that doesn’t bother me because I like my look, I have been likened to Daenerys from Game of Thrones of few times (but obviously not as pretty) which I take as a compliment.”
“I know I’m not the first pale white blonde girl in history to get married, but darker colors just suit me much better so I feel much more comfortable opting for black.”

It’s really her fiancé’s mom who’s giving her the hardest time about wanting a black wedding dress, and her future mother-in-law thinks it’s absurd and gothic-looking.
She didn’t go with any theme at all in the process of planning her wedding, and gothic is the furthest thing from what she’s doing.
She has a lot of white in what she did pick out so far; including white flowers and white lights for her wedding.
As for her dress? It’s an actual wedding dress, that only comes in white, so she is getting it dyed to be black.
She doesn’t think it’s going to look gothic or tacky since it is a wedding dress, and her fiancé is all for her wanting a black dress.
“My fiancé’s mother called me recently to tell me to stop being so vain and to just pick out a normal white wedding dress, and to stop being so controlling over what is her son’s wedding day too where they’ll all look ridiculous in the photos next to me,” she said.
She told her future mother-in-law that she definitely will consider her feelings, but at the end of the day, it’s her wedding.
She wants to be confident on her special day, and the thing is, she’s the one paying for her dress, so doesn’t she deserve to wear what she wants?
