Re: WR - do you think its "disrespectful" to wear a strapless wedding dress?
my gown was off the shoulder and that is exactly what I wanted.
no one should be offended by what he said IMO - some people are just more conservative and cover themseleves in a place of worship. I heard that in Italy, the bride must cover her shoulders.

im not so much offended by his suggestions as i am upset that he TELLS her what to wear. HE IS NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON. he is the one who says all the time "God never said you HAVE to go to Church". hes doing this to kiss MIL's *** because he knows how religious she is and cant stand that DH and i still take our religion very seriously and he doesnt (and she knows that)! he boasts all the time that he's "old fashioned" but meanwhile he follows none of the old school traditions!
i'm sorry, i'm just venting out my frustrations about this guy!   ....is there a "ripping your arm off so you have something to throw at someone" icon?

yea, they're both Catholic but neither of them are very religious...especially him! i'm more religious than they are and my dress was strapless. I guess i'm a whore too!
I am a Catholic and attend Mass every day. You wouldn't believe what I see people wearing. There are some things I wouldn't wear to bed. There was a time that the Church wouldn't allow any one to wear a dress that didn't have sleeves. That time is long past. There is nothing disrespectful with wearing a strapless dress as long as "things" are well secured. Ask your SIL if she intends to cover her head to show how "respectful" she is in Church.

Re: WR - do you think its "disrespectful" to wear a strapless wedding dress?
in 1850 it might have been but I don't think even the church views it as such now.
Some may, the really strict and devout ones probably do. I know at the vatican you can't even go inside if you are wearing shorts, It must be long pants so I'm going to guess that strapless dresses are a HUGE No-No there as well.

very good point! i'm gonna have to ask her about that! i wanna see what he says to that one!
our Church has a rule about how short your shorts are at Mass but thats about it (nothing mid thigh). and our Priest that married us told me how beautiful i looked so i dont think he had a problem with my dress being strapless!

I just realized we got married at the same church!!! They're SO lenient/buddy christ about that stuff.
and besides, we already tarnished their good name with engaging in Whore-like Bridery. She'll be fine.

I think it depends on how religious the person is and how strict the church is that they are getting married in. We got married in a catholic church and I wore a strapless dress, but I know that many churches that require the bride to have her shoulders covered.

Re: WR - do you think its "disrespectful" to wear a strapless wedding dress?
Some churches request or require dresses not be strapless - or that you cover your shoulders in church.
Mine doesn't and my wedding gown is strapless. I don't think it's disrespectful at all personally. My dress (and yours - I saw your pics - gorgeous!) is very tasteful, as are most strapless wedding gowns.
Some people may be pickier about it than usual... but I don't personally think it's per se disrespectful. There are dresses with straps that could be a LOT more disrespectful!

i think your SIL didn't speak before she spoke. If that's the way she feels, fine, but if you wore a strapless dress then she shouldn't have addressed the issue with you of all people.

I have heard that some churchs ask you wear a shawl of some sort. We asked prior and they were fine with strapless although I wore a capsleeve dress anyway.
