if you make a big deal out of it then that's just going to get her more determined to wear it. Maybe use reverse psych and say " You would look sooo hot in the <insert dress colour > dress you've got or invite her shopping that way you can *help * her pick out the dress you want her to wear  ;)

he he, I wore black to a wedding - my own!

It was a beautiful black velvet bodice and full ballerina skirt style gown with an ivory wrap. We married by candelight only and it was snowing outside and the black and white photo's of me outside in the dress with the snow falling down are the only pics I've ever liked of myself.

I didn't and wouldn't care what others are wearing, it's your day, your marriage and your life....no-one will be interested in what she is wearing, just remember that and have a wonderful day :)

Maybe I'm just weird about stuff like this, but does it really matter what people are wearing to your wedding?  At the end of the day, you'll be married and that's all that matters -- not that Aunt Tilly wore a purple muu-muu with orange zebra stripes!

EXACTLY!!  ;D

I went to a wedding last year, and didnt notice what anyone else was wearing.    However, i wore black.   It happened to be the nicest, most presentable dress i owned, and i didnt think the occasion warranted going out and buying something new, since i looked perfectly decent in the black.

Did you see Coronation Street last night?  Bev wore black to Shelly's wedding and that was not a good thing!

But seriously, don't let it upset you.  It's not worth it.  If they want to wear black and look like they're going to a funeral, let them.  Don't let it ruin your day.   Everybody should be looking at you anyway! :) :o

Its not the fact that it upset me,its her boyfriends attitude towards the whole thing that peeved me off, he made it a point to make me look wrong.
 Dale came home from work today and said her boyfriend came up to him and talked crap about me and apparently after I came upstairs last night,he followed me up and listened at the door while I was talking to Dale about the whole thing >:(
Honestly its mainly I don't want his sister to look like a fool at the wedding,if she wants to wear all black then fine but I wanted her to know what it might look like to other people,so she wont be surprised if someone says something to her.  Ahhh I have a feeling Friday will be full of surprises. I'll let u all know what unfolds lol

I think you should scare the c**p out of everyone and pretend to have labor start as you're about to say your vows. *hee hee*  ;) ;D

I wore a black dress to my friend's wedding.. And I don't think anyone even noticed. I think as long as people don't come in the nude or a clown suit, it shouldn't matter so much. Why let one detail, that shouldn't even matter ruin the biggest day of your life?

Black is very acceptable where I live. I wore a simple black dress to the last wedding I attended and no one batted an eye. Now the dude with the large pentagram tattooed on the back of his shaved head DID get a few sideways looks.  ::)

I've worn black to two friends' weddings. I accesorized with red or pink just to jazz it up a bit. No one cared and I did look well turned-out....  :)

Weird - I was just going through all the subjects and saw this one.  I know a couple who lived together for 5 years, and got married.  Her wedding colors were black and white, bridesmaids wore black, black ribbons, black balloons, etc.  After 5 yrs living together, the marriage lasted about 6 months.  Not saying superstitious or anything, but....

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
