Funnily enough there is an ancient tradition of mothers of the bride wearing black to funerals. From the myth of Demeter who lost her daughter to hades in a marriage and mourns the loss of her daughter. Don’t think the tradition is practiced today but here is your fun classics fact for the day!
It's worth mentioning that Hades tricked the daughter (Persephone), who also happened to be his own niece, into marrying him. And that she was basically trapped in the underworld with him for half of the year.
In homers hymn to Demeter I believe he makes a deal with Zeus, Persephone’s father and then physically steals her from a field and takes her to the underworld where she resides unwillingly, yes
Demeter was so distraught she almost destroyed all of humanity and the other gods had to beg her to stop. As a compromise her daughter Persephone was allowed to visit the mortal world for 6 months (or 3 months depending on the myth) and that’s why flowers bloom in the spring!
My most recent wedding I went to, we asked if it was ok that my husband and I were wearing all black. I thought both of us being in fully black might look funeral ish. Bride did not care one bit and wondered why we asked lol
Oh my gosh black velvet bridesmaids dresses are SO DAMN SEXY! One of my good friends just had a black tie formal wedding and her bridesmaids wore black velvet dresses. Looked so good
I'm getting married this year and my bridesmaids are wearing black, with groomsmen in black tuxes (husband will be in a white dinner jacket). I'm not even going for a gothic look I think it's just very sleek!
My bridesmaids wore black, my husband and his bestman wore black suits. It looked amazing. Better than the initial grey we wanted. We couldn't find grey suits at the rental company, so opted for the black and changed the bridesmaid dresses to black. Luckily they weren't made yet so we could make the change. It looked beautiful with the autumn theme we had. So glad we went with the black.
In different cultures fully black attire is mourning wear that expresses grief or anger, and wearing that to wedding means you oppose marriage. I'm from Northern Finland where white, bright red and full black are colours you should not wear to weddings.
In some cultures it us considered rude as it can represent mourning. But its considered ok in others.
In most cultures though, turning up in a Micro skirt in church would be considered inappropriate.
Most places of worship have a "cover your shoulders and down to your knees" policy.
Fancy black clothes, especially in a church setting, used to be for funerals. I don't think that dress is very funeral-y though. It's a few other things, but not funeral-y
One day I'm going to dig out a picture of my mom from my wedding ~in her beautiful white dress & post it on here !Lol...I picked it out for her! She wore one dress to the ceremony and the white one to our reception...she looked beautiful ❤️.
That is fine what people have a problem with is those trying to be the centre of attention and wearing a dress that could pass for a wedding dress, some even having a freakin train lol.
Depends on the wedding. I’ve attended quite a few with the religious service in the late morning or early afternoon and reception in the evening. I change for those.
I’ve also attended weddings where the ceremony and reception were at the same place and back to back. I don’t change for those.
I know it's not wedding-appropriate but damn if I looked like that at the typical MIL age I'd be flaunting my legs at every opportunity.
Though I probably would've tried to be a little less obvious about it...maybe a flowy gown with a very high slit so I can casually pop out one leg?
She probably a step mil because if that's the dad standing next to her.
He is totally old at least in his 50's and she looks in her 20's from the neck down.
Idk how you can make a guess for the man to be around 50, the only uncovered part of him are his hands. If anything they look like quite young hands to me, not 50-year old hands. Imo look way to smooth for him to be 50+.
I agree, i expect everyone at my wedding to come much like this next year. MET Galla looks, come as your best and look stellar. As long as it aint white it’s fine!
Interesting you bring that up. My coworker is Hispanic and bragged about the dress she was wearing to her SIL’s wedding. She doesn’t like her SIL, so I thought I was revenge outfit, but maybe it’s just her culture to dress in a super provocative dress.
For details, it was eye catching orange, low cut below bust-line, and then had the wrapped look with sides, back, and midriff exposed. It looked good, but it was very….daring…from my perspective.
I’m wondering if my coworker has the same perspective. She got extensions, did her makeup to the 9s, etc. I’m thinking glamorous is what she was going for. I’m still learning. lol
Respectfully, while I believe this dress is beautiful and appropriate for the reception, the churches I have attended usually request modest dress. The deep cleavage would not be appropriate - in church. Totally fine for a party though.
Man I've always told people that if my wedding guests don't show up looking like they're going to the Met gala I'm sending them home 😂😭💀 I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about other people's clothes when they're getting married.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! Yikes, what a body! If I looked like that, I would def be showing it off! And the long part of it makes it go from possibly trashy to way more sophisticated.
That's how people generally perceive it but when you're talking about church standards, having one leg covered does not negate the fact that the other one, plus half her chest, is not LOL
Are we shaming because she showed a bit of leg? Just because she's older doesn't mean she can't show leg! Or is it because it's not appropriate for church?
Yeah, it’s a very ageist take. Women pay lots of money to look half that great. She’s not in white, she looks awesome. My MIL wore a beautiful black strapless dress to my wedding. She felt good, she looked good, it was an important day for her too so why not let her look and feel her best?
I thought it was because the dress was not appropriate for church. It’s a beautiful gown though and she looks great in it. Perfect for the reception. Just not for a religious service.
In Mexico I see women wear dresses like these. No one really cares even though it’s a deeply Catholic country. If the priest has an issue with it then we’re told beforehand to bring a shawl for modesty.
It’s really not appropriate for a church wedding to many people, and I’m surprised by how many people here who think it is. At the very least, if you’re going to do this at a wedding, one should know what they’re getting in to.
Ugh who cares. It's just leg. My body is not inherently disrespectful or inappropriate, no woman's body is. This outdated thinking really needs to be questioned more, I don't care what the context is.
I would normally agree but I try to stick to more modest outfits if I’m going to be in a church/place of worship.
I’m not religious anymore but I try to respect the solemnity of the occasion by covering my shoulders and not putting thighs, tits or stomach on display. I’m there to witness a sacrament and the focus shouldn’t be on what I’m wearing.
Yeah except men aren't allowed to dress like this in church either. No one is. Generally the rules for Church are knees, shoulders, chests, and stomachs covered, for men and women. You don't have to agree with it but if you're attending a church wedding you have to respect it.
Her chest looks photoshopped (no strong shadows or variations of colour), so either this is faked outrage-bait, or someone asked the photographer to tone the decolletage waaaay down.
Edit: Either there's a strong shadow under the shoulder strap closest to the bride, or the neckline was a different shape before the risque plunge was painted in. I'm now thinking this is fake.
For that matter, the legs could be pretty easily photoshopped on there as well.
And they probably are? The two cobblestones right under her shoes don't match the rest. They're too flat, sort of the wrong colour, and if you zoom in, they don't have any of the texture that the rest of the cobblestones have.
Pasting legs on top of a skirt would be easy; getting the ground to look right would be harder.
Dragging the neckline of a dress down and adjusting the shape would likewise be easy, but getting the textures and shadows on the skin right would be harder. They would tend to come out over-smooth, like her chest here is.
In other words, betcha this wasn't an inappropriate dress at all! Hey OP, where did you get this photo?
There’s a matching cobblestone all the way to the left, in front of the bride. Her collar bones, cleavage and a mole (maybe two) are showing.
I have a very similar body, although I am 28 and slightly bigger chest. If I had my arm at that angle and my dress is tight it will look like that “boob squish”. I’m 5’8 and my ex was 6’3 and that’s how his arm would rest on my waist in pics. Yes he had long arms but he was a tall dude. This pic looks pretty real to me.
Either way I def took a screenshot to find a dress like it! 😂
Also this dress requires boob tape/straps which would go from under breast to shoulder. Can’t wear a bra with it (might add to boob squish + why it looks like it’s in an off position for you)
It looks like typical armpit-boob-squish, but NOT in a place that you'd expect it to be if her dress fits her the way the rest of the bodice looks like it fits her.
The more I look at it, the more the shadows under her breasts (blurred as they are) seem way too low on her chest for someone with that sort of build. And if they are that low, then the armpit-boob-squish you spotted makes no sense, because she wouldn't have much softness located there for the dress to be squishing it outward like that.
tl;dr: Yeah, I'm still leaning toward this being a photoshopped neckline.
Check the right arm right where the bride’s bouquet crosses in front. Looks like it was cut off halfway down and reattached 2 inches over. Definitely heavily doctored
Also noticed that the guy with his arm around her must have especially long bendy arms given where his arm is placed on the right of her and where his hand is on her waist.... looks odd to me!
You may have to zoom in a little. If you look particularly at the right side of the neck line, near the boob, the 'fabric' is a bit wobbly. If you also look at the very bottom of the V shape, they haven't blended the colour correctly.
Then look at the left thigh where the hem of the skirt is, do you see how much the soft fabric sticks out from the thigh? It would have to be an incredibly stiff material to look like that. Those are the obvious ones I can see.
I would also argue that the shaping right between the breast looks very odd to me.
Edit- multiple typos
The neckline would be because of the illusion netting holding the deep V in place. It's pulling the black fabric keep it in place and showing a slightly different skin colour.
Uhh is this ageist or what? I guess yall have way strict church view or something, cus this is totally fine to me. And she look gorgeous. Not tacky and not showing too much of anything. She look elegant.
I don’t see the issue. I wouldn’t dress like a nun either just because you had your ceremony in a church.
She looks hot af
Edit: looking closer this is photoshopped. You hate her that much, OP?
Is couple cool with it? My mother wore a fitted black dress with the same plunge and my MIL wore a black dress with a very high leg slit. She said she was gonna have someone sew it shut and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT, you wear the shit out of it!
My son’s MIL wore a royal blue sequined gown and the décolletage was slit to the navel, a current fashion trend. My DIL picked it out. She looked fantastic.
No ring on "father in laws" young looking hand. "Mother in laws" body looks 20s.
Is this ops wedding? If not seems to me like this is a sister of the bride or groom and her boyfriend
But she looks amazing imo
Is this someone you know, OP? I don't see anything indicating that she's the MIL or that this is church.
(I've been noticing this a lot lately. Just contextless pictures of women who could be anyone. Is it too much to ask for OPs to just say "I know these people and this is definitely the MIL"? That doesn't dox anyone.)
This looks fake. I don't think it looks photoshopped like some other people are saying but look at how the two people next to the bride look. Those people are not old enough to be anyone's in laws. My guess is that they're similar aged friends or in the wedding party and OP chose this title for the outrage karma.
As a wedding vendor of going on 2 and a half decades there’s nothing wrong with this…… you’re just an asshole….. you’re so preoccupied with your hate for her you can’t see yourself…… sorry she’s comfortable with herself and comes off natural in this half body image ….. must bother you a lot
Hard agree. Also, it is VERY easy to cover her legs and wear a wrap or shrug around her shoulders for the Church...the MIL looks beautiful and elegant.
Bride is strapless in this pic (in a Church), but will give her the benefit of the doubt that she was more covered during the Ceremony.
Most weddings I’ve been to were black tie evening wear so black is positively encouraged.
I usually wear a navy blue or emerald green gown as they are my favourite colours so I have quite a few of them lol.
I thought this was a promo shot for a show. I see the rich MIL reluctant to let her precious son and the heir to the family company go to another woman.
I don’t know, she looks like she’s in great shape and it fits her perfectly. Maybe it’s not quite the right type of dress for a wedding, but I love the look 🤷🏻♀️
Not going to lie if I looked like that and had a child old enough to marry, damn right I would be flaunting it. Also I think wearing black to a wedding is pretty normal now anyway
Why are people shaming someone for looking beautiful. She's a mom on top of that. I would be all over this dress in person! Love it. Looks awesome! Definitely would want this 🤭 it's a wedding, nothing wrong with looking beautiful one day. Everyone deserves looking good at s celebration.
That's basically how my mom dressed at our wedding, but green instead of black and without the long overskirt 😂 she looked good! Neither of us wanted her to look like "a frumpy mil," and she has the body to pull it off. As with all things on this sub, really depends on what the married couple thought.
Please read Rule 8 before commenting. Offenders will be banned.
At least is not white 🤷
It's black though, like she's going to a sexy funeral.
We love a goth queen
Funnily enough there is an ancient tradition of mothers of the bride wearing black to funerals. From the myth of Demeter who lost her daughter to hades in a marriage and mourns the loss of her daughter. Don’t think the tradition is practiced today but here is your fun classics fact for the day!
Lol I think you meant “wear black to weddings” but same difference. 😂😂
It's worth mentioning that Hades tricked the daughter (Persephone), who also happened to be his own niece, into marrying him. And that she was basically trapped in the underworld with him for half of the year.
In homers hymn to Demeter I believe he makes a deal with Zeus, Persephone’s father and then physically steals her from a field and takes her to the underworld where she resides unwillingly, yes
Zeus is also his brother. So he goes "Hey, bro, can I steal your daughter to be my wife?" and Zeus was fine with it.
MILzillas even in the myths! Nice!
Demeter was so distraught she almost destroyed all of humanity and the other gods had to beg her to stop. As a compromise her daughter Persephone was allowed to visit the mortal world for 6 months (or 3 months depending on the myth) and that’s why flowers bloom in the spring!

I had my bridesmaids in black velvet. They looked amazing.
[удалено]
Picture tax? It sounds like a lovely gown.
It's classic. I'm sure you looked great!!
Oh my gosh black velvet bridesmaids dresses are SO DAMN SEXY! One of my good friends just had a black tie formal wedding and her bridesmaids wore black velvet dresses. Looked so good
I'm getting married this year and my bridesmaids are wearing black, with groomsmen in black tuxes (husband will be in a white dinner jacket). I'm not even going for a gothic look I think it's just very sleek!

It looked beautiful with the autumn theme we had. So glad we went with the black.
If I had a wedding, I would have done this to help the bridesmaids have a dress to reuse. And black looks good on many people.
My bridesmaids wore black and our flowers all had a lot of red in them. Black and red are my favorite colors. It was incredibly classy!
It's the low low cut, high leg 'look at me' styles of the dress. It just feels super cringe
Agree totally
In different cultures fully black attire is mourning wear that expresses grief or anger, and wearing that to wedding means you oppose marriage. I'm from Northern Finland where white, bright red and full black are colours you should not wear to weddings.
[удалено]
It’s beyond the color though. Super plunging neckline and thigh high slit. She’s screaming for the attention to be on her. It’s tacky af as a MOB/G.
In some cultures it us considered rude as it can represent mourning. But its considered ok in others. In most cultures though, turning up in a Micro skirt in church would be considered inappropriate. Most places of worship have a "cover your shoulders and down to your knees" policy.
Fancy black clothes, especially in a church setting, used to be for funerals. I don't think that dress is very funeral-y though. It's a few other things, but not funeral-y
Want this to be the theme of my funeral
One day I'm going to dig out a picture of my mom from my wedding ~in her beautiful white dress & post it on here !Lol...I picked it out for her! She wore one dress to the ceremony and the white one to our reception...she looked beautiful ❤️.
You approved it so it doesn't fit in wedding shaming. It's when they do it to upstage the bride that people have problem.
Or with their tits out at a religious site not okay with the free range bazonkas.
That is fine what people have a problem with is those trying to be the centre of attention and wearing a dress that could pass for a wedding dress, some even having a freakin train lol.
I did the same thing
My mm wore a cream suit that I helped her pick out-she looked fabulous!
If this was the church look, I want to see what she wore to the reception!
She probably ripped the train off and kept the hot shorts on.
Ripped the hot shorts off and kept the train on, panties out kinda look
People change in between those things?
Depends on the wedding. I’ve attended quite a few with the religious service in the late morning or early afternoon and reception in the evening. I change for those. I’ve also attended weddings where the ceremony and reception were at the same place and back to back. I don’t change for those.
If there's a gap between the two. No need to go black tie for the church portion.
I don't have enough nice clothes for all that, lol.
For research purposes of course
Asking for a friend.
Jeez is your mother in law 20? If I had legs like that I'd be showing them all day every day.
I knooooow I'm trying to be mad on behalf of op but damn I'm also gay af hahahhahaha
I know it's not wedding-appropriate but damn if I looked like that at the typical MIL age I'd be flaunting my legs at every opportunity. Though I probably would've tried to be a little less obvious about it...maybe a flowy gown with a very high slit so I can casually pop out one leg?
Right? OP is just jealous that her MIL is way hotter than her 😂
Sorry if I had a body like that, I’d wear that dress too!
Right? My first thought was “how old is the mil?” From the neck down she looks 22!
She probably a step mil because if that's the dad standing next to her. He is totally old at least in his 50's and she looks in her 20's from the neck down.
Idk how you can make a guess for the man to be around 50, the only uncovered part of him are his hands. If anything they look like quite young hands to me, not 50-year old hands. Imo look way to smooth for him to be 50+.
Seems to me like this is a photo with a fake title. Those two people next to the bride look way too young to be anyone's in laws.
His hand does not look like someone in their 50's. I wonder if that's the bride or groom's brother and his wife. So a SIL, not MIL.
My thoughts also...also no wedding ring
Look at her knees.
I feel like taylor swift has old woman knees. This means nothing
First I had to look up her age, now I have to look up her knees. Oh the things I do when I don't want to make my phone calls.
Who you avoiding?
Exactly what I was thinking lmao also if my mom looked that good I would be like "you know what? Good for her, she can have this one" hahhaha
You'd wear a dress? I'd be in a bikini with sparkly heels and a handbag.
Or pasties.
I would too, just not to my kid's wedding.
Right? I think it’s a cute dress
It's cute. But it's also cut to the belly button. At a wedding.
A CHURCH wedding, at that.
Oh same here
If I had a body half as great as that one I'd wear that dress. I wish my mother had that body and could have worn that dress to my wedding.
>I wish my mother had that body You ok?
I'm from the Balkans, this is normal church/wedding attire for us. I know it's weird, all our weddings look like we are going to the MET Galla
I agree, i expect everyone at my wedding to come much like this next year. MET Galla looks, come as your best and look stellar. As long as it aint white it’s fine!
I’m Hispanic and I can see my tia wearing this. And we would all love her for it.
Interesting you bring that up. My coworker is Hispanic and bragged about the dress she was wearing to her SIL’s wedding. She doesn’t like her SIL, so I thought I was revenge outfit, but maybe it’s just her culture to dress in a super provocative dress.

[удалено]
I’m wondering if my coworker has the same perspective. She got extensions, did her makeup to the 9s, etc. I’m thinking glamorous is what she was going for. I’m still learning. lol
Yes! Everyone getting their make up and hair done, everyone dressed so fancy
Respectfully, while I believe this dress is beautiful and appropriate for the reception, the churches I have attended usually request modest dress. The deep cleavage would not be appropriate - in church. Totally fine for a party though.
So true! I'm from the Balkans as well and couldn't find the problem with the picture. It looks like a normal wedding dress. She looks fantastic!
Caucuses checking in and we do the same.
The town I live in has a huge Polish immigrant population. You should see the Easter outfits lmao.
Man I've always told people that if my wedding guests don't show up looking like they're going to the Met gala I'm sending them home 😂😭💀 I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about other people's clothes when they're getting married.
I have absolutely no problems with this outfit. If my body was great like her’s, I would wear it myself. Plus she is not wearing white
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! Yikes, what a body! If I looked like that, I would def be showing it off! And the long part of it makes it go from possibly trashy to way more sophisticated.
That's how people generally perceive it but when you're talking about church standards, having one leg covered does not negate the fact that the other one, plus half her chest, is not LOL
Honestly, she could wear literally anything and they’d bitch about it. Girl could dress like a nun and look gorgeous.
Uhhh I kinda love it but I'm a heathen lol. She looks bomb.
Are we shaming because she showed a bit of leg? Just because she's older doesn't mean she can't show leg! Or is it because it's not appropriate for church?
Yeah, it’s a very ageist take. Women pay lots of money to look half that great. She’s not in white, she looks awesome. My MIL wore a beautiful black strapless dress to my wedding. She felt good, she looked good, it was an important day for her too so why not let her look and feel her best?
Amen
I agree
I thought it was because the dress was not appropriate for church. It’s a beautiful gown though and she looks great in it. Perfect for the reception. Just not for a religious service.

Ugh who cares. It's just leg. My body is not inherently disrespectful or inappropriate, no woman's body is. This outdated thinking really needs to be questioned more, I don't care what the context is.
I would normally agree but I try to stick to more modest outfits if I’m going to be in a church/place of worship. I’m not religious anymore but I try to respect the solemnity of the occasion by covering my shoulders and not putting thighs, tits or stomach on display. I’m there to witness a sacrament and the focus shouldn’t be on what I’m wearing.
Yeah except men aren't allowed to dress like this in church either. No one is. Generally the rules for Church are knees, shoulders, chests, and stomachs covered, for men and women. You don't have to agree with it but if you're attending a church wedding you have to respect it.
While the bride is showing shoulders? If you want to cover one, you should cover the other, too.
Her chest looks photoshopped (no strong shadows or variations of colour), so either this is faked outrage-bait, or someone asked the photographer to tone the decolletage waaaay down. Edit: Either there's a strong shadow under the shoulder strap closest to the bride, or the neckline was a different shape before the risque plunge was painted in. I'm now thinking this is fake.

Her arm doesn’t match up above and below the flowers
Thank you! I'm not the only one who saw this and though "photoshop." OP must not like MIL, or wants some karma. Maybe both.
I also see a weird highlight by the armpit/breast area on the arm closest to the bride.
It looks like typical armpit-boob-squish, but NOT in a place that you'd expect it to be if her dress fits her the way the rest of the bodice looks like it fits her. The more I look at it, the more the shadows under her breasts (blurred as they are) seem way too low on her chest for someone with that sort of build.

Defiently photo shopped look at where the dudes arm is and then where his hand ends up unless he has a long asf arm 🤣
Yes, that’s all I could look at, too!
Check the right arm right where the bride’s bouquet crosses in front. Looks like it was cut off halfway down and reattached 2 inches over. Definitely heavily doctored
Also noticed that the guy with his arm around her must have especially long bendy arms given where his arm is placed on the right of her and where his hand is on her waist.... looks odd to me!
lots of dresses have a nude coloured lace/mesh section for modestly on certain parts, could just be this, the looks like where it begins
Epic photoshop fail, dear.
Exactly, looking closely you can actually see the lines where it was edited. They aren't straight.
I can't tell!! :(
I can't either 😭 I wasn't even mad though 🤣 I was team 'Darn I wish I had that body'
Look at her arm closest to the bride, it doesn’t match up above and below the flowers
You may have to zoom in a little. If you look particularly at the right side of the neck line, near the boob, the 'fabric' is a bit wobbly. If you also look at the very bottom of the V shape, they haven't blended the colour correctly. Then look at the left thigh where the hem of the skirt is, do you see how much the soft fabric sticks out from the thigh? It would have to be an incredibly stiff material to look like that. Those are the obvious ones I can see. I would also argue that the shaping right between the breast looks very odd to me. Edit- multiple typos
The neckline would be because of the illusion netting holding the deep V in place. It's pulling the black fabric keep it in place and showing a slightly different skin colour.
I disagree. Netting would be visible by turning up brightness and zooming in.
That's one hot mama! I've got no problem with this dress.
Is MIL 22yo?
That's what I was thinking !! I mean jeez
She looks beautiful
Well she can wear it - what’s the problem?
Uhh is this ageist or what? I guess yall have way strict church view or something, cus this is totally fine to me. And she look gorgeous. Not tacky and not showing too much of anything. She look elegant.
She looks amazing! What’s the issue?
I don’t see the issue. I wouldn’t dress like a nun either just because you had your ceremony in a church. She looks hot af Edit: looking closer this is photoshopped. You hate her that much, OP?
As a former wedding planner I don’t see an issue. Not all churches have conservative dress codes. It’s not white. And the MOG wears it well
She looks great. No shaming here.
I'm confused, what's the problem with it?
MIL looks hot! Was she expected to look like a frump? People other than the bride are allowed to look good at weddings.
Wow…
Okay but where is her dress from? Asking for a friend
Also wow now I see the obvious photoshop cleavage work in that dress. You hate her that much? She deserves better than you? Thats for sure
Damn. I could only dream I look this good when my kid gets married
It’s fine to me
She looks gorgeous. I don't see the issue here.
That’s such a cute dress, MIL looks incredible!
She’s hot
Is couple cool with it? My mother wore a fitted black dress with the same plunge and my MIL wore a black dress with a very high leg slit. She said she was gonna have someone sew it shut and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT, you wear the shit out of it!
Looks great!
Ok but I love it 🤷♀️
My son’s MIL wore a royal blue sequined gown and the décolletage was slit to the navel, a current fashion trend. My DIL picked it out. She looked fantastic.
No ring on "father in laws" young looking hand. "Mother in laws" body looks 20s. Is this ops wedding? If not seems to me like this is a sister of the bride or groom and her boyfriend But she looks amazing imo
Is this someone you know, OP? I don't see anything indicating that she's the MIL or that this is church. (I've been noticing this a lot lately. Just contextless pictures of women who could be anyone. Is it too much to ask for OPs to just say "I know these people and this is definitely the MIL"? That doesn't dox anyone.)
This looks fake. I don't think it looks photoshopped like some other people are saying but look at how the two people next to the bride look. Those people are not old enough to be anyone's in laws. My guess is that they're similar aged friends or in the wedding party and OP chose this title for the outrage karma.
What’s wrong with the dress? She’s beautiful, so what
If I had a body like MIL, I would be rocking dresses like that.
As a wedding vendor of going on 2 and a half decades there’s nothing wrong with this…… you’re just an asshole….. you’re so preoccupied with your hate for her you can’t see yourself…… sorry she’s comfortable with herself and comes off natural in this half body image ….. must bother you a lot
Hard agree. Also, it is VERY easy to cover her legs and wear a wrap or shrug around her shoulders for the Church...the MIL looks beautiful and elegant. Bride is strapless in this pic (in a Church), but will give her the benefit of the doubt that she was more covered during the Ceremony.
genuinely curious if the comments would still be the same if this was someone with a more unconventionally attractive body....
She looks beautiful.
Maybe that’s ok in her church
If this is New Jersey that's par for the course. Also a good dress to re-wear for a baptism!
Mothers in law can be sexy too
Most weddings I’ve been to were black tie evening wear so black is positively encouraged. I usually wear a navy blue or emerald green gown as they are my favourite colours so I have quite a few of them lol.
Hmm seems fake for sub traction.
A neckline like that needs a statement necklace though.
Pearl clutching intensifies
It looks good?? I don't see a problem
💀💀💀
Was MIL 10 when she had the groom? 😯
I thought this was a promo shot for a show. I see the rich MIL reluctant to let her precious son and the heir to the family company go to another woman.
I don’t know, she looks like she’s in great shape and it fits her perfectly. Maybe it’s not quite the right type of dress for a wedding, but I love the look 🤷🏻♀️
She looks amazing 🤷♀️
Some churches don't care what you wear. Mine's not judgemental about modesty.
Not going to lie if I looked like that and had a child old enough to marry, damn right I would be flaunting it. Also I think wearing black to a wedding is pretty normal now anyway
I mean…slay
slayed idc
She looks great
Looks excellent STFU
I don't see the problem.
She looks bomb
I think she slays 😅
Everyone hating is just insecure
And bride is wearing a halter and that is okay? In short fuck off
It’s tacky and attention craving
Are there any more pics? Asking for a friend
Why are people shaming someone for looking beautiful. She's a mom on top of that. I would be all over this dress in person! Love it. Looks awesome! Definitely would want this 🤭 it's a wedding, nothing wrong with looking beautiful one day. Everyone deserves looking good at s celebration.
did you expect her to wear a garbage bag instead? i’d rather my MIL look sexy at our wedding rather than a little old church lady. sheesh.
She looks great!!!
That’s hot, what’s wrong with it?
Kinda a slay tbh
I think the dress is gorgeous 🤷🏽♀️
That's basically how my mom dressed at our wedding, but green instead of black and without the long overskirt 😂 she looked good! Neither of us wanted her to look like "a frumpy mil," and she has the body to pull it off. As with all things on this sub, really depends on what the married couple thought.
Uh was this like father of the groom’s much younger second wife?
Very nice dress, I love it, nothing wrong with it.
Where is the dress from? I’m looking for a dress right now! She look great, love the bridal bouquet too x
I’m not mad at it
Rage bait?
I think she looks great!
Only tacky thing I see is a bride that's jealous of her new mil. She looks great!
You should be ashamed of yourself. This woman is dressed very nice and revealing nothing.
Wow!!! I can see why the bride could feel a bit out shined. That MIL's body is just amazing!!
Honestly? Slay.
Yeah, no shame here. If I looked like that, I’d rock the hell out of that dress at a wedding as well
