I recently got married to the love of my life, J. We had a perfect wedding, except for one thing, my MIL’s freakout when she saw my dress. When we had gone dress shopping, I invited her and I found my perfect dress.
My husband’s family has a tradition of always wearing blush dresses on their wedding day. They told me about this before, and I respectfully said I would wear whatever color dress my perfect dress was. Once I finally found it, it was white. MIL asked me to ask if they could alter it to make it blush, or to find a new dress if they couldn’t. I said I would ask, but if they couldn’t then that was that.
Long story short, they couldn’t and I showed up to my wedding in a white dress. All through the ceremony MIL was seething. During the reception, she pulled me aside and asked why my dress was white. I told her that I didn’t want to find a new dress and they couldn’t alter it. She said it was a tradition, and she was disappointed that I had broken it. J also said that he was disappointed when I walked down the aisle in a white dress.
Was I the Jerk for this? I could have just changed my dress.
