A mother-of-the-bride has come under fire for her choice of dress during her daughter’s wedding, and she’s hit back at the haters.
To be honest, I don’t think many people care what you wear to a wedding unless it’s white or a garbage bag, but it seems like online commenters have different opinions.
In a video which was shared to Instagram by wedding content creator Chloe LeBlanc, the footage of a mom arriving at her daughter’s wedding has caused a stir.

Lori DeWitt was shown walking down the aisle with one of the groomsmen in a stunning silky number, and it caught the wrong kind of attention.
Her dress was a custom Audrey + Brooks floral dress with a plunging neckline and large bow and train at the back which is detachable.
Her daughter Amanda DeWitt Leblanc was wearing a Romona Keveza off-the-shoulder trumpet gown, which was swapped out for two other numbers throughout the night.

Both the 53-year-old and 26-year-old looked amazing, so what’s the issue?
Well, people believed that she was trying to upstage the bride- her own daughter.
In the comments people wrote a list of complaints, but others loved her style too.

Even the wedding content creator, LeBlanc loved the dress and typed up on the reel: “The most stunning MOB dress we’ve ever seen!!!!”
Well, it turns out that DeWitt wasn’t aware of the hate train against her and spoke to Today about it.
She said: "We didn’t realize my dress was going to spark a debate, but we’re laughing about it.
“I’m the last person you’d expect to go viral. I don't even post photos!"

According to the mother and daughter, the pair bought their dresses on a shopping trip to New York City, and DeWitt even picked it out for her!
She confirmed to the publication: “I love what she wore.
“My mom looked absolutely stunning.
“It was just as much her day as it was mine.”
