No. Do l need to call her? Would it be better coming from some random internet dude she doesn’t know?
I’d reply “who’s getting married?”
Invite me. I’ll wear the same exact dress. (55 YO, male. with a huge chest and beer belly) she’ll leave in embarrassment.
I would just flat out ask her why she is wearing a wedding dress to your wedding and tell her she is making a gigantic fool of herself.
“haha cute, but what are you actually wearing?”
“Mom, is this a joke? Surely you’re not really planning to wear a wedding dress to my wedding. I’ll be so embarrassed for you.”
” no you are not” –> send
It’s easy, do it before it starts eating at you.
Mom, this color is the shade of Invitationrevoked.
Respond “😆 omg good one! Could you imagine if you actually wore a wedding dress to my wedding?! People would tear you apart!”
She’s maybe getting it in a color ?
Maybe she is joking , ask her what color she is getting it in .
Tell her no
My response would be, “I will be the only one wearing a wedding gown at my wedding.”
Wow, who looks up wedding dresses to wear to their child’s wedding. I’m sorry you have a mother like this because I can only imagine your upbringing if she’s doing things like this now you’re an adult. 🙁
Why do women do shit like this at weddings????
Do you think the rates of red wine being sold spike near weddings.
ask her the colour she’s intending to get it in. If she says white or anything along those lines…
pull fully concern and sympathy in you asking her about if she’s seen a doc recently about dementia. Making such obviously confused decisions could be a sign. Lay it on THICK. Contact other family members concerned about her and then show then that she can’t process going to a wedding without wearing a wedding dress, she needs to get checked! You are sooo worried about her.
Just send her a link to this thread
This dress is like $2700. She has that much money to spend on a dress and decided a wedding dress was appropriate to wear to her kids wedding 🫣
Please say you’re in a place where the bride wears a different color? Otherwise, you need to ask if she meant this as a suggestion for you because this is an obvioud bridal dress.
Maid of honor might have to trip near her and spill her red wine.
Damn that’s bad I’d say something like “That’s pretty but I’ve already picked my wedding dress, what are you wearing?”
respectfully, your mom is crazy AF. she can’t do that!
Is she pranking you?
No, this is massively infuriating
My reply would be “Mom that is a beautiful dress! Does it come in (your wedding colors) ? Maybe have it dyed if you want to match the wedding colors. I can get a swatch of the bridesmaids dress material for you to match. It really is lovely, but of course you can’t wear it in white. Everyone will think you are having mental issues, including me. Are you having mental issues Mom? Do we need to talk? Maybe some therapy time?”
You need to cross post this in one of the wedding subs. They will eat this one up and you will get even more really great advice.
Just say no, guests at weddings for the last 100 years aren’t allowed to white as it is the bride’s day, and only she can wear that colour. Ask if your mom has a brain injury.
So your mom’s getting married too??
I grew up in a house riddled with selfish toxic narcissism. Do. Not. Allow. It.
What the hell? My mom was a complete Narc, and she would have never done that to me. In fact, she wore a very lovely blue dress and short jacket on my wedding day. She looked good in her own sassy way without taking away from the wedding. Mind, she was coked up to the balls, 🤣
So I did a reverse image search just for funsies and um, that is 100% a $3000 WEDDING Dress:

Like ???
And it comes in white or ivory with no other color options.
Perfect – you won’t even have to be there!
“You can’t be serious… No, you can’t wear that. If you insist on wearing a wedding dress in my wedding, I’ll have to disinvite you. No one needs to upstage their own child at the child’s wedding”
Tell her NO. That under no circumstances will she be at the wedding wearing anything white or bridal.
I would go as far as to hire security or a friend to keep anyone out who tries to break that rule.
Only self centered, selfish “mothers” would wear such a thing to their child’s wedding without express permission.
“Cute dress. Where are you wearing that?”
And then keep asking dumb questions on repeat and make her explain until she sees her stupidity.
Where’s your wedding? If she shows up in that, I’ll throw mud on it.
Ask what color she’s getting it in. Make her face the awkward absurdity of her decision.
ETA: I just [looked it up](https://www.bbxbrides.com/product-page/kingsley-sottero-midgley-wedding-dress). The name says it is a wedding dress. Ask her to link the website where she’s getting it, and then get hella awkward about “Hey, mom, this says it’s a wedding gown.”
I would reply “I’m so confused, are you wearing a wedding dress to my wedding?” Be upfront and confrontational.
Lol. Time for bridezilla to show her face.
Maybe she doesn’t realize it’s an actual wedding dress and you could have Donotdothatcanada explain it to her.
Is she joking or desperate for attention?
“Oh, that’s beautiful but I already have a dress planned. What are you wearing? You’d look lovely in *insert colour here*”
