Family recently Said they refuse to come to my wedding all the time I'm wearing a dress and flats

George, 18 April, 2022 at 21:57 Posted on Planning 0 5
What should I do as after inviting family to my wedding I've recently had a few messages back from my sister and my mother saying as long as I'm dressing like a woman at the wedding (I'm wearing a dress and ballet flats as a man) they wouldn't be coming. This has really torn me as I don't want to have my wedding without my mother there and don't want to go through the troubles on the day of explaining why they aren't there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Mmm 🤔
    Sorry you are in this position.
    I think if you want to wear a dress and flats then go for it! However, it must be really painful for you to hear your mum won’t be coming. Are you close with your mum? I would recommend having a chat with her and explaining your reasons for your outfit. I think you’ll regret it if you don’t wear what you want.

    This is so heartbreaking that your own mother would refuse to come to your wedding if you wear a dress
    Please please wear whatever you feel best in on your wedding day
    I understand how hard it must be to be put in this position but people should love you for you
