She Asked Her Best Friend’s Mom To Leave His Wedding For Wearing A White Dress And Now Her Best Friend Is Furious With Her
This woman’s male best friend got married a couple of weeks ago. Her best friend and his wife had been together for four years and dreamed of a smooth wedding day. Still, they were all worried about the groom’s family.
They are a large family with many children. A few months before the wedding, the bride asked this woman to do her a favor.
“She asked if I would deliver the family the rules of the wedding. I read it beforehand, and it was reasonable,” the woman explained.
For example, the couple did not want any children at the wedding since there would be alcohol.
They also did not want any proposals or large announcements at the wedding and asked that no guests wear a white dress.
This shortlist seemed pretty standard to the woman, but the in-laws were very resistant.
“They kept complaining about how it was so short notice and how it’d be impossible to book a babysitter before the wedding or find a dress that isn’t white,” the woman said, “I quickly told them anyone to break these rules would be turned away at the door.”
After telling the bride what happened, she was uneasy. Still, this woman reassured her that the day would run smoothly.
The bride even asked this woman to be her maid of honor, but she declined and instead decided to run security.

After this confrontation, the in-laws also began to talk badly about the bride-to-be. Apparently, one of the in-laws said, “First she steals my son away, then she tells me I can’t see my grandbabies at the wedding?”
These statements were not addressed until the wedding, though, when this woman greeted the in-laws at the venue’s front door.
“I was disappointed but not surprised to see her mother-in-law in a white dress with a smug look on her face as she tried to quickly bypass me,” the woman recalled, “I stopped her in her tracks.”
The woman recited the rule that no white dresses were allowed inside. The mother-in-law “scoffed” and tried to push past the woman again.

“Once she realized I wasn’t letting her by, she absolutely threw a fit. I let her get it all out before turning her away again. She said she’d call her son to let her in, but I had all the phones at the party in a lockbox,” the woman said.
The mother-in-law eventually left the venue and did not return. But, two days after the wedding, the groom attacked the woman for not letting his mother into the wedding.
“His wife trailed behind and agreed it was mean of me to not let her in. I am so confused and afraid I damaged our relationship as friends,” the woman said.
Now, she is left wondering if she was in the wrong.
If you gave your best friend explicit instructions for your wedding day, would you be mad that they followed them?
Or would you have expected an allowance made for their mother?
