I found my dress at Macy's on the way to the Minneapolis st paul airport. My other daugh-in-law helped pick it out, we just shopped and tried on dresses until we found 2 we liked. A beige lace and a black with sparkles on the top and jacket. We decided I looked thinner in the black and I didn't tell my daug-in-law to be because she didn't want black. When we got to the wedding the MOB was wearing a beige lace dress almost the same as the other I saw. My new DIL was very glad the black looked better. We both spent under 100 for our dresses.
I forgot to add her mother and I have several tops that are the same or almost, isn't it funny how some people have the same taste. We went shopping, my DD, DIL and her mother and myself, we bought the same purse when we were with our own daughters, found our when we got back to the car.

The MOB looks great in her beige, but you look awesome in that black number. Good for you. Same thing happened to me last summer. GS was getting married and I was told the grandmas/grandpas were walking up the aisle as part of the procession. Well, I have white hair and don't like the way I look in beige or brown (I do wear it, but I look better in other colors.) So I shopped and shopped and came up with zilch. I decided to get black with a white linen jacket. As you said, they were surprised, but the "show" went on and I looked nice.
BTW -- cute couples

I have two sons and I made my dress for my oldest. He's in the AirForce, so I wore a navy straight line dress with a off-white or winter white jacket with lace sleeves. My youngest son is a youth minister and his bride chose a cinnimon color for her bridesmides, I found a moss-green dress at JCPenny's. Sometimes you can find really nice ones there or even at Dillards.

My first MIL wore a white suit to my wedding. She wasn't my MIL for too long! My second MIL couldn't make it to our wedding, but I loved her dearly and took care of her when she had Alzheimers until she died. My first MIL died at 107. Isn't there something like "only the good die young?"
