[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know that it’s necessarily attention seeking. Is it an outdoor wedding and MIL is worried about the sun? Is she sensitive about thinning hair? She might have a particular concern that wearing a hat would address.[/quote]

Agreed. OP, unless she had one of the above excuses, she’s probably being rude. That being said, I’d ask my fiancé if he can shed light on her behavior .

If she’s being difficult, I’d pick my battles. This is not a battle I’d pick. Just ask her to take it off for photos. If she refuses, don’t put those photos out in your house. If she asks why, tell her that the hat was throwing off the photos.

Does your fiancé generally support you when you disagree with MIL? That’s a much more important issue.[/quote]

Jesus Christ, no do not tell your MIL that you can't display your wedding photos because of her ugly hat.

Today - and every day for the next 50 years - make every effort you can to get along with your spouse's mother. There will be times you have real fights - and there will be times you have dumb fights because you're worn out and she's just bugging you. But do NOT make this thing about the hat something that taints your relationship right from the start.

Wedding planning is a good little test of what being married to someone will be like. How you make big and small decisions together; which hills you want to die on; how you do and don't compromise; how well you share aesthetic taste and financial values; whose preferences take precedence; and what family means to you - how much they matter and what you are willing to push back on.

Don't get this thing started being a b about this hat. Unless it's truly terrible, and then go for it - no rules.
