"Blech. This bride&amp;#x27;s sister is being unbearable!Writes Save the Date reader Zoe: I&amp;#x27;m definitely not a traditional bride, and I have my heart set on wearing a bright yellow wedding dress. I&amp;#x27;d like to find something knee-length with a &amp;#x27;50s- or &amp;#x27;60s-style silhouette, but I&amp;#x27;m not having any luck. I&amp;#x27;m also not getting all the support I&amp;#x27;d hoped for. My parents, friends, and fiance all agree it would be weird for me to wear a traditional long white dress. They want me to wear what makes me happy. My sister, however, who is my maid of honor, flat-out said I would look stupid in a bright yellow dress and people would laugh at me. She&amp;#x27;s also butting heads with the other bridesmaids, my friends, who she&amp;#x27;s written off as &amp;quot;weirdos.&amp;quot; Assuming I can even find a yellow wedding dress, how do I deal with my sister&amp;#x27;s attitude? And is wearing a bright yellow wedding dress weird? Here are my thoughts: You know what would be weird? Wearing a wedding dress that didn&amp;#x27;t feel like &amp;quot;you&amp;quot; because you were worried about your sister or your guests Tsk, tsk-ing behind your back. You should spend your wedding day surrounded by the people who love you and know you best, and I hope that your nearest and dearest will be happy to be there even if you show up in a potato sack. It sucks that your sister is being a bitch, but my sister and I get on like balloons and porcupines, so I get that you can still love her, even if you don&amp;#x27;t see eye-to-eye on style. Still, it&amp;#x27;s super-rude of her to pick on you, so I&amp;#x27;d have a comeback ready the next time she pushes your buttons. While I was wedding planning, here&amp;#x27;s how I dealt with my in-laws, who had a different &amp;quot;vision&amp;quot; for our wedding: Kim: We&amp;#x27;re going to do long tables at the reception. Father of the groom: LONG tables? You can&amp;#x27;t have long tables at a reception! Kim: What shape tables did you choose for your wedding? Father of the groom: Round! Kim: And were you happy with your choice? Father of the groom: Of course! Round tables are the best! Kim: Well, now it&amp;#x27;s our wedding and our turn to choose. We&amp;#x27;d like long tables, and we&amp;#x27;d appreciate it if you&amp;#x27;d respect our decision. This was an actual conversation, by the way. And Rory&amp;#x27;s dad was so offended by the idea of long tables that we wound up mixing round and long tables so he wouldn&amp;#x27;t have to sit at a long table. For reals. I know this sounds a little rude, but you have to fight fire with fire and rude with rude, in my opinion. Plus, as I tell every couple, you&amp;#x27;re never going to make everyone happy, so you might as well try to make yourselves happy! Now, onto the happy news! If you do decide to wear a bright yellow wedding dress&amp;amp;#8212;and I really think you should!&amp;amp;#8212;I think you&amp;#x27;ll find tons of great options! I wouldn&amp;#x27;t bother going to a department store, where the bright yellow dresses will be few and far between. (Plus, if you shop for a mass-market dress, you&amp;#x27;ll risk one of your guests showing up in your &amp;quot;wedding&amp;quot; dress!) Instead, I&amp;#x27;d consider trying on a bunch of bridesmaid dresses, which come in every single color and a bazillion shapes. Here are some I think you&amp;#x27;ll like: Dress 1: Lela Rose Bridesmaids Style LR161 in Buttercup If you click the Marigold color on that page, I think you&amp;#x27;ll like the color getter. I was having a hard time pulling the Marigold photo though! Dress 2: Alfred Sung Style D534 in Daffodil Dress 3: Alfred Sung Style D522 in Daisy Dress 4: Lela Rose Bridesmaids Style LR164 in Marigold Dress 5: Alfred Sung Style D482 in Daffodil How should this bride deal with her bitchy sister? And are any of these bright yellow dresses wedding-worthy? Have a wedding-y dilemma of your own? E-mail me! p.s. This bride wore a bright yellow dress, and she looked picture-perfect! Also, when Rory and I were married in City Hall before our regular wedding, I wore bright yellow! I love bright yellow for weddings!
