The Republican presidential hopeful, 51, took to social media to share a snapshot of the big day as she stood alongside husband Michael, son Nalin, daughter Rena, and Rena’s new husband Josh.
And, despite many followers offering their congratulations to the young couple, it was Nikki’s dress that drew most of the attention.
Dozens of followers rushed to criticize the mother-of-the-bride for her outfit choice – but others leapt to her defense.

There were some, however, who rushed to defend Nikki’s sartorial choices.
Replying to one of the negative comments, one user wrote: ‘I don’t see a veil on her head & she is wearing a champagne-colored dress, not white.
‘I’m guessing her daughter was with her when she picked it out, just like I was with my mom when she picked out her mother’s dress.’
Someone commented: ‘Beautiful and your dress is an amazing mother-of-the-bride dress.’
Others also praised the design and described it as ‘stunning,’ ‘classy’ and a ‘beautiful’ choice.

Nikki officially kicked off her 2024 presidential campaign in February with a 26-minute speech in Charleston.
The former South Carolina governor, who walked on stage to Survivor’s hit ‘Eye of the Tiger,’ used the speech to take swipes at the nation’s aging leaders and urge GOP supporters who are ‘tired of losing’ to send a ‘tough as nails’ woman to the White House.
She called for term limits and ‘mandatory mental competency tests’ for politicians over the age of 75, vowed that schools would never close their classrooms again, promised to battle China head-on, support Ukraine and said America is ‘strong and proud, not woke and weak.’
The former ambassador to the United Nations entered the GOP primary race as an underdog.
Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have come out as the favorites for the top spot on the presidential ticket, according to recent opinion surveys.
