'I'm a groom and mum is breaking major wedding rule, she doesn't care if she hurts me'

It isn't always easy to plan a - especially when your guests start making demands for your . That's exactly what's happened for one groom who shared how his mum wants to wear a white dress, despite knowing this colour is strictly reserved for the bride.

Taking to , he said: "My mother is a tricky one. When she asked what colours she should wear to my upcoming wedding I just said avoid white and light blue (the bridesmaids colour). She has gone and bought a white dress with some line work light blue floral print on it.

"I haven’t actually seen it, just heard the description. So I asked her if she could send me a pic of it. After a day of leaving me on read she replied with 'No, that’s not appropriate for you to ask me.' She then stopped responding to my texts."

In a panic, he messaged his dad to see whether he could get any information out of him instead - but his dad ignored him, too.

He added: "He wouldn’t send me a picture of it but he pointed me in the direction of a photo of a jacket with a similar colour makeup.

"I responded saying it was far too white for anyone let alone the mother of the groom to wear to a wedding. I then sent a bunch of articles that discuss white printed dresses at weddings and what is and isn’t appropriate.

"He responded with agreement that he now understands it’s inappropriate but my mum is stressed at work so I might have to accept that she will wear it regardless."

He is now worried about how his wife-to-be will react upon seeing him mum in a white dress on their special day, saying: "I’m absolutely fuming that they’re unwilling to put me and my fiancée's feelings above hers for this one day in my life."

Commenting on his post, one user said: "If she wants to wear a wine stained white dress, I say, let her."

Another user added: "My mother-in-law pulled something similar and it meant the to me that my finance [sic] told me he would get into it with her if I wanted.

"Ultimately I made the choice not to (because we were drawing boundaries in a lot of places and I wanted to be strategic) and I know several people cringed at how much her dress looked like mine.

"If you see this: get on the same page with your finance [sic] now. You’re going to be a team. And if your mum is this kind of difficult you’re going to need to stand together to hold the line.

"On the plus side, seven years post these shenanigans, my mother-on-law is now mostly well behaved. And when she isn’t, I know my husband isn’t tolerating her bull****."

A third user said: "Tell her she's uninvited if she's going to act the damn fool. Stand up for your wife, man."

One more user added: "Tell her that you have told everyone the same thing about not wearing white or blue, so when she shows up wearing the exact thing that is off-limits.

"People will assume she is a narcissist and will be gossiping about it. If that's how she wants people to know her, she can wear what she wants."
