Hon, I'm sure it will be fine (though, by now it's possibly aready happened, so I hope it went ok).

She seriously didn't say 'no'? Words can't express how wrong I think that is. How can you expect your kids to grow up properly if they've never once had someone say 'no' to them? No wonder you didn't agree with her. I'm totally at a loss as to why people think that is a good way to bring up children.
