She refuses to carry on the tradition to wear my wedding dress. It's customary the daughter wears her mothers dress.
What can I do to convince her to wear it? It's gorgeous beyond belief!

Are you kidding me? No one, and i mean NO ONE (backwoods country bumpkins excluded) does that anymore! At least not by force. If you truly loved and cared for your daughter you would allow her to make her own choices about her wedding and be supportive and loving and allow both of you to actually enjoy this very special occasion. How selfish of you to insist, demand, and put stipulations on your financial and emotional support for your child.

Whos' wedding is it? Yours? or Hers? Maybe she feels different about the tradition than you do. I'm sure it's a beautiful dress, but it's obvious she's not interested. Let her have HER wedding HER way. If not, she may resent you forever. Maybe you could compromize. Maybe 2 small ceremonies, one her way, and one your way. Just don't make her regret her wedding day for the rest of her life. Because if that happens, she will also resent you.

Yes, that is a lovely old-fashioned gown. Was it your grandmother's gown, originally? Hang onto it, quite probably you'll have a granddaughter who wants to wear it someday.
But, PLEASE, let your daughter have the wedding she wants, and do pay for the wedding. There are years of love and friendship ahead for you and your daughter's new family. Don't start on on a sour note, insisting on your own way or I guarantee that you'll be very sorry, after while.
And as others have said, it is your daughter's own wedding, after all.

It's her wedding not yours further more if you aren't paying for the wedding you really have no right to tell her how to plan it. However if you were paying for it you should get to have some input.
If she doesn't like the dress and you force her to wear it she will be miserable on her wedding day. Do you want her to be happy on her wedding day or miserable? Furthermore do you want her to be resentful of you for trying to make her wear something she doesn't want to?

I couldn't get in the link it is probably gorgeous. but that was the tradition back then, now days it has change and just because she wants her own dress that she can call hers does not mean she is a bridezilla. let her make her own choice besides its her wedding and her day. and be happy for her for whatever she chooses.

I understand the tradition and all--but it IS your DAUGHTERS wedding. HER day not yours. Isn't there something she can carry that you carried? TRy not to be so overbearing with this. It's not worth fighting and falling out over.
