Although some couples prefer to stick to traditional wedding traditions, the times are certainly changing. If people be able to express themselves freely and use what they feel comfortable in? Aren’t we all past gender stereotypes? One wedding was angered by her fiance’s friend’s parents for forcing their child to become “feminine”. Although the niece’s parents kept obviating a costume for the bride, the sister appeared to have an matronly sense of style. The wife made the decision to stand up for the daughter. The bride posted a picture on Reddit to ask if she had been wrong to allow the “tomboyish” niece to wear a dress.
To make the daughter experience included in the celebration, the bride made the decision to make her a bride at the wedding. She also believed it would help them both form a strong connection. The wife wrote on Reddit that the next time she met her, “she was dressed a lot more matronly than I remembered.” She then said that “the subject moved to wedding gowns and bridesmaid’s dresses and I could see she was soon uneasy.”
“Her parents (her mum really) and grandma were making comments about how she’d need to be more feminine/ brush her hair etc, and how nice it would be to see her like that. Since I was very much a boy as a teenager (even though I’m not longer), I’ll be honest and say that this really struck a nerve with me. It truly broke me whenever my friends would say things like that. Finally, her mother made a remark along the lines of, ‘It’ll been good to see you dressed like a girl for again.’ and she looked really sad/ embarrassed / upset.”
The wedding reacted infuriated and made the decision to stand up for the daughter right away. To make things easier, she explained that she had “given all the girls the option of wearing anything they want as much as it’s in the “wedding shade.” I opened my phone and began showing her pictures of the suggestions my friend had sent me ( a jumpsuit, trousers, a trouser suit, a tailored suit, etc. ) and informed her that she could pick everything she wanted and that it was a ceremony, not a fashion show. The sister appeared to be more at simplicity, but her mother did not. The bride’s mother apparently attempted to force her fiancé into buying all the bridesmaid dresses so that their daughter will have to use one. The wedding pushed her limits and said no. The girl’s home was therefore questioned on Reddit if she was wrong.
The woman was praised by the majority of Reddit users for standing up for the niece and reminding them that she wasn’t the a**hole in the situation. One individual suggested, “NTA take her shopping to find her wedding dress so baby it don’t reject you. Keep your friend’s clothing at your place.” Another pointed out, “She’s 15 and is old enough to decide on how she would like to dress. By allowing her to feel comfortable in what she is wearing as long as it matches the marriage coloring, you are being very affordable. The mother is a**hole for attempting to make her child wearing something she would find uncomfortable with. She wouldn’t like being your bridesmaid, which would also affect your happiness because one of your bridesmaids is unhappy, so she wouldn’t like being your bridesmaid.
