LOL! I have a question that I'm sure you ladies know the answer to...is it inappropriate for the mother of the groom to wear the same color as the wedding party?
My MIL did this and I thought it was so odd.
That's a tough one. I'm just thinking of my own wedding. I figured, I'm only going to do this once and it's going to be traditional, so like a good bride I chose some traditionally awful bridesmaid dresses. If my MIL showed up in really bright emerald green, I would have known she was trying to make a point. Was the predominant color of your wedding party distinctive?
I wouldn't call it inappropriate, per se, but I totally concur with your judgement of oddness. I'd think the MOB would want to stand out.
But then, my mother-in-law-to-be remarried in January, and wore red. You just gotta like that!
