@muslima, I think you are doing the right thing by trying to keep the lines of communication open with your MIL, that is probably the most important thing at this point. And yes, follow the advice about learning Bengali, that is going to be the best thing for you now and in the future, cause you dont want anymore miscommunication. Im so glad to hear your fiance is on your side. Maybe he can help with getting you the dress you really want. Good Luck with that!!!

My wedding is 4 months away, and Im officially starting to freak out! My MIL will be back from Pakistan on Tuesday with my nikkah and reception outfits! I totally trust her choice (my oldest SIL helped pick them out) and they kept me in the loop the entire time they were buying things, so Im pretty calm about it. But at the same time, I have a hard time hiding my feelings if I dont like something…like you can totally see it on my face if I dont like something! And I get really emotional really fast…but I have seen pictures of the valima dress, which is gorgeous, so Im not worried about that. And the nikkah/barat dress, I kind of have an idea what it looks like (I picked it out from @YAS formal line, and asked that he re-design it to make it a bridal). So Im a little worreid about how that will look…but my SIL said it was gorgeous! So lets see what happens. Im also worried about the jewelry they got, cause I had no say in that. They got me 2 sets, one for valima, one for party wear, and they got me gold choorian, cause my mom is making me kharay (I am pathan, so I wanted the traditional peshawari kharay). Praying and keeping my fingers crossed that I will like them!

I still have to take a picture of the moroccan lanterns I ordered for the mehndi…will do that this weekend!

Good luck! Inshallah your outfits will be amazing!! Approximately how much was the YAS dress you chose? (if you don’t mind my asking)
