Wearing White??

So, first I just want to say that I was sooo excited to get back on here and see that I had THREE comments on my last post! :) I really wasn't expecting any, but It was really nice to see! I don't have any sisters (only two younger brothers) and not many girlfriends who are close by so It's nice to get on WBC and be able to talk wedding details with other women who are just as excited and crazy as I am! lol The process of wedding planning is tough!!

So I am having an issue with my aunt. First, I just wanna say that I grew up in the military and so I did not grow up around this woman, but she is family so I want her to feel included. Second, this woman drives me up a wall!! Here is a little background info:

My aunt is in her 50's and has been married FOUR times. She is currently engaged again (for almost a year now) and wants to get married the same month I am. This is all fine and dandy information right? You're probably thinking she is somewhat normal huh? WELL....

She came into my store the other day to get approval on the dress she wanted to wear to my wedding....why did she need approval??

IT WAS WHITE!

I'm sorry, but I just really feel like a bride is the only one who should be wearing white....right? Am I overreacting ?
I posted a picture of the dress...couldn't it pass for a wedding dress? I mean for your 5th wedding? I kinda get the feeling she is upset my wedding is "taking the spotlight" over her's....but this is my first and ONLY wedding...she's had four others!

any thoughts?

wow!! I agree with you 110%. your aunt needs to back off and not wear white to your wedding........that could totally be her wedding dress...you are right to think this is your day. she's had her day 4 times all ready!! Tell her She need to pick another color; plain and simple. and have your family get on your side will help.

You are completely right, she needs to pick another color, White is for the bride no matter the shade or the sequins on it.

You are right, sweetie!! Have her change the color or find a new dress NOT in white! I've had somewhat similar issues with my FSIL so, I know how you feel! It'll get better.. just remember to stand up for yourself and your day!
