My mother-in-law went crazy because she didn't wear gold at the engagement party

we had a similar situation too, my mom and mother-in-law didn't talk for days. but I think it's silly to blow it out of proportion because of the gold issue. everyone's budget is different after all.

Is your mother-in-law always this detail-oriented, or is it just because of the engagement stress?

@bugun_degil is actually always detail-oriented, but it's the first time he's blowing it up this much. My mom just found out now, it could get even bigger.

@makarnaoncesi I don't think it's silly at all. Gold has always been a part of our culture; budget is not an excuse. These things require mutual respect 🙄

You don't have to justify to anyone just because you're having a simple engagement. State your decision directly without explaining your financial situation. After all, this is your relationship.

it's ridiculous to put gold on everything.

According to the topic owner, is it a mistake to organize an engagement, or is it allowing too many details? People should draw some boundaries, right?

This gold talk has turned engagements into bigger stress than weddings, I swear. Soon they'll make gold invitations instead of ceremony invitations.

Someone who goes crazy because their mother-in-law doesn't wear gold keeps a list of who wore what at the wedding. The issue here isn't gold, it's about showing off. Wasn't it obvious from the beginning that there was someone like this?
