There is nothing worse than having expectations placed on you and feeling like you have been when being part of a wedding, been there, done that!

I think communication and clear expectations are important for weddings and being a part of them. It puts so many families and friendships to the test.

And unfortuately, those lovely bridal places takes nearly 4-6 months for some dresses to come in! Must be that travel distance from the one woman boutique they get them made in.

I hope that you find something gorgous for you to wear and that the relationship with your FSIL isnt effected by this little speed bump.

Have you spoken to her about being a part of the wedding in another way instead. maybe doing a reading or something else. To show that it was only about the not being able to afford the cost.
