My sister-in-law to be has just sent me a photo of 2 dresses she has ordered for her 7 year old daughter to wear to our wedding. One of the dresses is the same as my 7 year old step daughter/bridesmaid.
The only difference being that my bridesmaid is in pink and her daughter's will be blue. That said, my groomsmen are in blue. Our wedding party colours are pink and blue. So whilst it is not identical it may as well be.
I've apologised and asked her if she can look for another dress for her daughter (bearing in mind she already has a second option). It is a week until my wedding and I can't change my bridesmaid dress and my two adults have colours to match hers.
As a result she has gotten angry and is now threatening not to come. She says she wants her daughter to feel special at our wedding. This I can understand as I to want my step daughter/bridesmaid to feel special but I'm not sure she will if someone else is wearing the same dress.
I've apologised and asked nicely. There are hundreds of gorgeous dresses for 7 year old girls so I struggle to see why she is so set on her wearing this one.
Am I being unreasonable to ask?
