Dear Amy: I live with my fiancé and our cat, and I’m really happy. We are getting married at Disneyland next year! I have everything I’ve ever wanted for my dream wedding, including riding in Cinderella’s crystal coach.
My mom and I have made a plan to go wedding dress shopping together. I also invited my future mother-in-law to come with us. My fiancé doesn’t have any sisters and his mom always wanted a daughter. She and I are really close.
The problem is that a friend of mine is really offended. He says he’s bothered that I didn’t ask him to come with me on this dress shopping excursion, but that I did choose to include my fiancé’s mom.
He said it’s usually a bridal party of close friends, or just the bride and mother of the bride who go shopping for a dress. I plan to go ahead with my plan to include the two most special women in my life. But I am wondering, am I in the wrong?

Dear Bride: Researching your question I have now perused numerous photos of Disneyland brides riding in Cinderella’s crystal coach (which is pulled by four white ponies and guided by a driver and two footmen).
In a world beset by challenges, conflict, and dreams deferred, I’m actually happy to report that … this sort of “fairytale” wedding is a thing!
The Cinderella dream is alive, well, and available – for a price – in Anaheim, California (and other locations).
In terms of your question, it’s a true fact that – even though Cinderella had a fairy godmother who did her dress shopping for her – any bride or groom has the right to include anyone they want when shopping for their own wedding clothes.
Sometimes this involves friends, wedding planners, family members, or future in-laws. And yes, I give you permission to exclude this pushy friend.
(When I got married, I had only a flock of bluebirds to help me get dressed.)
Your friend is wrong, you are right, and I hope you have the fairytale wedding of your dreams.
