fmil and her flip flops..

Let her and her flip flops be. If she has foot or orthopedic issues she may be wearing them because of how comfortable she is in them. Maybe her feet swell when she stands and a closed toe shoe with inserted insoles won’t work for a wedding. I’d let it go, not the hill you want to die on.

Let it go. I was at a wedding where the mother of the groom wore a long white dress that could’ve been worn as a wedding gown. Things can always be worse.

It’s not really up to you what she wears anyway. It’s nice that she’s asking for your input, but definitely not required. She’s a grown woman. Let her wear whatever shoes she wants. I doubt that’s what you’ll be focused on during your own wedding.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. I don't think too many people will care if your FMIL wears flip-flops! Don't let this bother you too much

Thanks all! I texted her and said go for it.

Just let it go! My grandpa has trouble walking and he will be wearing sneakers because it's the only thing he's comfortable in! No one will be looking at her feet anyway lol. Don't stress yourself out over something this petty!

Oh just saw your above comment haha nvm

No one is going to carry about her feet. Let her wear the flip flops. It's not going to hurt anything and definitely not worth stressing over. Tell her to get you a pair for the reception and y'all can match!

Let it go. I don't even know what kind of shoes my MIL had on for my wedding. She could have been barefoot for all I know (she wasn't). As long as shes not trying to wear ratty holey old shoes, shes fine.

I almost chose sparkly ridiculous flip flops for myself, hahaha. I still kind of want a pair, honestly. Glad you decided to let her have this one!

You can't dictate what others wear to your wedding

Offer to take her for a pedicure the week before. If her feet are well groomed, who cares?
