‘It’s whiter than the bride’s gown’ people cry as mum of the groom shows up to wedding in ‘attention-seeking’ dress
IT’S a bit of an unspoked rule that you shouldn’t wear white to a wedding that isn’t yours.
But the mum of the groom might’ve missed that memo when she showed up to the ceremony wearing a gown that was “whiter than the bride’s.”
A picture of the woman, who is supposedly the groom’s mum caused a stir when it was shared on social media recently, and it’s no wonder why.
In the snap, the woman can be seen stood next to the bride, who is wearing a traditional ivory strapless gown with a floral bouquet in hand.
But the mum is also wearing a pretty bridal looking outfit, and many people even thought the snap looks like there are two brides.
The mum’s long white dress has a sheet cape train, which makes it look even more bridal.
She paired the dress with a cream hat and corsage, which users on Facebook group slammed for being over the top too.
One said: “The cape, the gown the fascinator… oh my god. It would have been over the top, but fine if in any other colour.
“I hope to be as patient as this bride one day.”
A second chimed in nothing that they “thought it was a double wedding,” and another joked they’d “pay extra to have it Photoshopped another colour.”
“Really makes you wonder what in god’s name happened with all these freakish mother-in-laws to make them act like their son’s wedding is her own wedding,” someone else commented on the post.
And another slammed: “Holy sh*t it’s whiter than the bride’s gown.”
Meanwhile, some Facebook users thought another guest should’ve “split red wine all over the dress.”
“No way she should have made it to the pictures without someone spilling. That poor girl,” one said.
“Imagine being that age and still needing attention SO bad,” someone else agreed.
However, this isn’t the first time a mother-in-law has tried to upstage the bride on her big day.
Posting on Reddit, the sister of another bride shared a snap of the groom’s mum in a partly sheer white dress.
The outfit had off-white slip dress with a sheer layer on top with lots of intricate lace and floral designs.
One person said: “She was 100 per cent intentionally trying to upstage your sister. She was on some type of power trip with this being her first-born’s wedding.”
A second agreed: “I mean, if the theme is ‘everyone wear a wedding dress’ then she nailed it.
“If it’s literally any other wedding theme this is absolutely wildly inappropriate.”
And someone else slammed: “Hell no. Looks like the mother-of-the-groom wants attention in a bad way and will receive attention, but not the type she thinks.”
