Thank you Sarah for reminding me of a story my MIL told me.
The wedding dress my MIL wore, from what I have told was a simple short white dress. Shortly after they where married, my MNL was invited to a friends wedding. She apparently did not have time to get a dress for the occasion so decided to wear her own wedding dress. At the reception, another friend that was at her wedding, asked my MIL why she wore her wedding dress to their mutual friends wedding. My MIL never told me what her response was but she said she was embarrassed someone noticed and pointed it out. She said that the friendship between the bride and her ended shortly after the friends wedding and she never did understand why. wedding dresses for short brides
