inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

you lot need to grow up.........thats all.

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

^ Which "lot" are you referring to? There are multiple perspectives being discussed here, and generally in a respectful manner. What are you adding to the discussion?

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

i am adding my perspective......intersting that the 'multilple' somehow doesn't include what i said.............. and nothing disrespectful i said.........

what so disrespectful about knocking some sense into these girls?? ......whose minds can't go beyond a bloody piece of clothing........

go ahead and delete this post too...........for all i care.....

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

And I was much more calmer, charming even with my phunny post. And it got moved. Where's the justice?

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(

Nomi: I removed your post referring to a bride's divorce for no reason.

I don't see any reason to remove this post. But if you bothered to actually read the thread, rather than storm in here like a patriarch trying to teach these silly girls a lesson, you would see that SEVERAL women on here have actually expressed the view that a piece of clothing should not be given importance over the new relationships that are developing. Those posts added something because they were actually thoughtfully articulated. Not full of insults.

Re: inlaws choosing wedding dress :(


I moved yours because the original was removed. No need to discuss that further here.

Thank you sahar

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

There are like 50000000000000 million threads on this ‘‘extremely sensitive and important issue’’ :bummer:

The fact of the matter is that you have to wear the dress they bring unless you call off the wedding

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

You can tell ur fiance that even if they choose the dress style & kaam etc that is fine by you , but atleast to consider the colours you'd like to wear
.That way atleast you'd have some control on the day .If u feel you want to go with a brighter look or a more modern look let him know, and remmeber guys dont usually remember details so u could email him a picture or two of the colour scheme you have in mind.Also try to keep it as close to the colours you want because there will be some differences according to material,work & what you see on the comp due to calibration etc.

A colour chart maybe helpful.

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

I'm assuming you're referring to the outfit for the baraat.

1) Wear the wedding dress your FIL chooses with a big smile on your face and thank him for taking the time to pick it out for you. Choose your own jewelry/make-up/hair etc. If you don't like the dress then vent about it to your best friend.

2) Wear whatever you want to wear for the mehndi and walima.

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

thnks but im saying about both days.. i just have a issue the fabric should not so hard as i saw in some pics atleast it is of some what chiffon so i feel comfortable wearing that ..and thnks for advice :)

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

im thinking if dont like then i will add something like front open shrt etc if there any 1 who can guide me if i ask them

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

^Try and give as much input as you can.. Going shopping with them would be the best solution but of course that might not be possible..

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

you have to accept what they will give dear, no choice .......

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

1) Can you go with the FIL when he goes to buy the outfits?

2) Is your FIL willing to take your opinion into account when shopping? Have you asked your fiance if you can mention your preference with colors and style?

3) I imagine at least 1 woman from his side will accompany your FIL. Its difficult for me to imagine that your FIL will go by himself to shop for your bridals. If so, then do you have any idea what female might accompany him? Sister, aunt/ cousin?

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

Try not to make a big deal about this.

Usually its the women of the house who do this and if his mom isn't around and his father is taking care of things...well...just imagine how hard it will be to hear that its just not good enough.

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

thnks reha yeah i know they care alot of this things my FIL bring eidi also which i really like it ..its really nice peach colour dress

Re: what if your inlaws bring wedding dress

if that was me i would explain nicely that its a lovely dress, thank you, but i have always had a dream of how i wanted to look on my wedding day, and this is not the dress you want to wear however you will wear it for the walima, or another event inshAllah... :)

i know u may seem selfish, but its silly how people thinks its ok to put brides in this situation sometimes i think on purpose...but its not acceptable, you dream of this day all ur life and then BOOM! i know marriage is all about compromise but this is NOT the way to begin it by ruining ur day...
