I've always wondered what goes through people's minds when they say it's their wedding, when it's actually their offspring's. I just DO NOT get it. My parents sure had an opinion for my wedding, but they didn't insist on anything. They paid for almost half of the wedding, but it was a (real) gift, not a way to get what THEY wanted on OUR day.
@@mariegarside8830my mother kept using those exact words regarding me and my sisters, who were my bridesmaids, during my whole wedding planning season. She made my gown, which was great, but took liberties in making tweaks that made it more to her liking than to mine….I couldn’t do anything about it because it was so close to my wedding day! In fact, it only got finished the day before my wedding. My dress was very beautiful but in the end, I liked it, not loved it, but it was something to wear to my wedding! On the other hand, having spent my whole life dreaming about my wedding shoes and not my wedding dress, I was 100% in love with my shoes, and I wear them every chance I get!
What a selfish mother! .. Mothers are supposed to want their daughters to be happy and feel beautiful and special especially when they choose their favorite wedding dresses. This mother is from an older generation and she shouldn’t impose her opinion on her daughter, just because she’s paying for the dress. Gifts are supposed to be unconditional, but apparently that’s not the case for this controlling mother.
She reminds me of my overbearing mom. She bulldozed over all my dress choices throughout my life. In my culture, the groom brings the bridal clothes. My sister in laws very sweetly informed me that the dress would be totally different and unique and would suit me but my mother threw a fit when she came to know that the colour of the dress would be totally different from the traditional bridal wear. She made it into such a big deal, mocking my fiance family and pressurising me to say no to my fiance. All this even before seeing the dress. When the dress finally arrived, I and my mom were stunned. It was the most beautiful shade of light blue with crystals and lovely pattern. I loved it immediately. Its been 12 years yet my family and friends still remember my wedding dress!
That is why I alone planned my own wedding and had a custom dress made... I gave my mother the reception as I didn't care.. Funny.. I never got to nibble on anything.. I was pulled from one person to the next as I was moving across country!
No mother should interfere it’s the daughters wedding not theirs I never saw my daughters dress till her wedding day I just made her cake and helped her with what she needed and yes she looked stunning!
That's a great attitude! I know my mom would have been that way too if I had ever gotten married. One thing though my mom would have helped me make my dress (we both knew what I would want and because of my body type would know how to adjust to flatter.).
Her mom is really controlling. Saying "it's my wedding. She's just the bride". That is so selfish. There is a different between supporting and selfish/controlling. It's the bride's day. Not the mom's
Notice how the mum says about the last dress how "that doesn't really look like lace to me" just to not having to admit that the lace was nice? I'm happy to see though that the bride stood her ground against mom!
My mom helped pay for my gown, not only did she let me do as I pleased, but she wasn't at the store with me so as not to bother me. I actually went all by myself, and that was just perfect. Mom discovered the dress on the big day and loved it.
I went with both of my daughters but bought what they loved whether I liked it or not. Their gown, their day, but I did love their choices. They looked stunning on their wedding days.
If you love your daughter and you want her to be happy ESPECIALLY ON HER WEDDING DAY, then let her choose what wedding dress she wants for HER OWN WEDDING. 🤨😡
I agree with Mum on the first dress. The second dress that had sleeves would be lovely for her winter wedding. She looked very pretty in her chosen dress.
Actually #2 was better than the fitted. When you have a tummy like that (and I do too tbh) fitted like that highlights the tummy and it really doesn't look that attractive in person. Actually makes you look expecting and brings a lookers eyes there. But other than that it was a very nice dress.
I have noticed that when it's "the dress" for the bride, they carry themselves different, they smile more, the entourage seems to love the dress because of the way the bride carries herself in it. The entourage picks up on the brides indecisive behavior and veto the wrong dress.
I am my mom’s only daughter. She couldn’t join me to look at wedding dresses or my best friend or any other friends. I went by self and with the help of a fabulous woman at the bridal salon we found my dress and our eyes light up together when I found my wedding dress. I was confident and truly happy with my selection and the best was no negative responses. I truly picked out MY wedding dress! 😊
I wonder if mum chose the groom too! I mean, according toum, it's HER wedding, and she's "just the bride"!! She'll probably want to go on the honeymoon too.
While I don’t like Mom’s interference I personally wanted to see her try something other than lace. I think she’d look amazing in something light and drape-y.
She might have know her all her life and thinks she knows what suits her, but to say David doesn’t was pretty disrespectful. He’s a highly respected and experienced designer.
Can I just remind you Mom how much I truly love you. You were always, honest, supportive, and you knew me so well. I miss you so much and I am immensely glad this woman was not my mom.
This mum.. she has had her moment. Now it is her daughter's turn. Do you want you daughter to be happy or do you want to push whatever dress you want (while you are not even wearing it)?
This is my daughter’s future mother in law. It’s driving her crazy that she’s not driving the train with the budget we have our daughter so that she, the FMIL, can plan the wedding she never had. She has only two sons. One with cerebral palsy, who will never marry and the one my daughter is marrying so this is her one shot.
My mother chose my wedding dress without me even being present. All I had to do was show up for the fitting. I loved the dress. It was perfect. I have treasured it for over 52 years.
My mom was so supportive when I went dress for my wedding she said ' I was the one who was going to be wearing it for 8+ hours so I'm the who had to like not her.".
The wedding is all about the bride and the groom mainly the bride it's not about Mom it's not about Dad it's not about whoever thinks a lot it's the bride only that mom needs to shut up and let her daughter have her day
What a selfish petitlant child of a mother. Im glad my Mom, who is so narcissistic like this Mom, skipped picking my wedding dress shopping and skipped my wedding. Its better to be alone than poisoned by a toxic parent.
Not when mom controls the purse strings. A selfish mom like this one isn't going to buy a dress she doesn't like & unfortunately isn't going to let her daughter choose her favorite one. My advice would be for brides to save money to buy their own gown so they can buy what they want no matter what mom & others think.
Funny, my mom and I had opposite problem. She and I got in an argument when I was going to purchase fabric for my wedding dress. She insisted I needed to have lace. I did not want lace. My wedding dress ended up without any lace, entirely made of moiré fabric. But I did include a bit of lace on the bride maids dresses.
It's weird and kind of archaic - the whole issue of who controls the purse strings and what does that mean. On the one hand, if a mom or other person is dishing out all the money for the dress, I think that their feelings should be taken into consideration, to a point. If it's an issue, than the bride needs to pony up with her own cash. It's 2023, after all. But so much of this is barely concealed control games.
Am glad my mom isn't like that 😢. If she does have an opinion about something she'll tell me what she thinks but she's not gonna stop me from getting it. not to mention if she sees that I really do want it she'll put aside her opinion instead of forcing me to do something I don't want.
My only advice to my daughter would be don’t take too many people with you (I would love to be one of them) and, even if she has a firm idea of the style going in, try various looks if only to confirm it’s the right look but, she could change her mind so try everything first. And, whatever she chooses, I will love it.
Also tell her to try on styles she might not think she likes because she could be surprised. This was my experience with my daughters throughout their prom years in high school & also when they went wedding gown shopping. Everything looks different on the person than on the hanger. ❤
I have a sneaky feeling that the producers instructed the mother to say most of those things and act that way. She doesn't come across as genuinely self-centered as some other mothers have in this series.
That mother absolutely is that self-centered. Did you see the dresses she picked for her daughter? Nothing close to what she said she wanted. Glad the daughter stuck to her guns!
I'm happy my mom never did that to me, it's all about the bride and groom mom! not about you! If you got insecurities, don't put them on your daughter.
Not going to be a happy marriage if the bride let's her controlling mother control her. I see soooo many moms that want the dress they want instead of supporting the bride and what she wants.
First dress and the bride says she likes it, but you could see, that she was already sad. I think she knew exacly, that her mother wouldn't like this and she said herself, she would rather take a step back, than have an argument. Dont like this mom at all.
“Well it’s not all about you honey..😊” Ma’am.. it literally IS. It’s HER wedding. Literally the one day thats all about you
I've always wondered what goes through people's minds when they say it's their wedding, when it's actually their offspring's. I just DO NOT get it. My parents sure had an opinion for my wedding, but they didn't insist on anything. They paid for almost half of the wedding, but it was a (real) gift, not a way to get what THEY wanted on OUR day.
Amazing that the "lumpy, bumpy"mother took over the appointment with her snide comments.
I agree although the journey took her to the most gorgeous dress 🌹
She was joking. Don't take the comments so seriously.

Had a Mom just like her. Went dress shopping alone. Best decision ever.

Its just drama, darling
Mom wasn't so bad. I could totally handle a mom like that. Remember the family is coached to disagree a bit for the drama of the show.
It is asking a lot to ask a mother to pay for something she doesn’t like.
Mom got her chance at marriage years ago but now it's your daughter time to shine please be happy for her
She reminds me of my overbearing mom. She bulldozed over all my dress choices throughout my life. In my culture, the groom brings the bridal clothes.

I feel for any bride whose mother is so controlling.
Why I didnt bring my mother shopping. Wanted why I loved.
I feel for *any person* whose mother or father is so controlling.
Her mother knows her best, the dress that she ended up with is perfect! The lace and fit on the others wasn’t right.
Mom was right though, the first two dresses didn't suit her at all. They were too old fashioned looking.
That is why I alone planned my own wedding and had a custom dress made... I gave my mother the reception as I didn't care.. Funny.. I never got to nibble on anything.. I was pulled from one person to the next as I was moving across country!

I will never understand why some mothers don't get that this is not their wedding.
Mum must have been a real blast shopping for school clothes and at the beauty parlor. I am amazed at how subdued the others were at first.
I love the dress she chose and that she stuck to her guns. Mom….well….I’m glad she got on board in the end❤
The one she picked was the best for her. The others looked a bit grumpy and dowdy on her.
Not the lump on the chair talking about her daughter’s lumps and bumps 😐
Her mom is really controlling. Saying "it's my wedding. She's just the bride". That is so selfish. There is a different between supporting and selfish/controlling. It's the bride's day. Not the mom's
I'd have heard that, bought the dress of my choice and eloped! 👋 mum
Notice how the mum says about the last dress how "that doesn't really look like lace to me" just to not having to admit that the lace was nice? I'm happy to see though that the bride stood her ground against mom!
Why does no one ever seem to point out that, with the right dress, lumps and bumps will disappear with proper fitting. 🤷♀️
My mom helped pay for my gown, not only did she let me do as I pleased, but she wasn't at the store with me so as not to bother me. I actually went all by myself, and that was just perfect. Mom discovered the dress on the big day and loved it.
I went with both of my daughters but bought what they loved whether I liked it or not. Their gown, their day, but I did love their choices. They looked stunning on their wedding days.
Mom sitting there in a big floral creation moaning about lace ?
I thought the same thing honestly!
Moms it's not your wedding, unless your the 1 getting married.
BINGO!!!!
If it's your wedding day it's your choice what you wear. I'd hardly say the mother looks like a fashion guru!!
If you love your daughter and you want her to be happy ESPECIALLY ON HER WEDDING DAY, then let her choose what wedding dress she wants for HER OWN WEDDING. 🤨😡
This mother is just a complete control freak and is not a nice person at all
No mother of the bride needs to add more stress to their daughter selecting a wedding dress
I agree with Mum on the first dress. The second dress that had sleeves would be lovely for her winter wedding. She looked very pretty in her chosen dress.
The last dress was way better than the other oneshe definitely needed the fitted dress The sweetheart neck line was perfect.
Yes beautiful, but it had no sleeves for a winter wedding
Actually #2 was better than the fitted. When you have a tummy like that (and I do too tbh) fitted like that highlights the tummy and it really doesn't look that attractive in person. Actually makes you look expecting and brings a lookers eyes there. But other than that it was a very nice dress.

This is why you're suppose to save money for your own dress. When i'm getting married i'm paying for mine.
The gown and veil were beautiful. And wedding venue - WOW! That building is amazing. Happy wedding.
Mum had her wedding, let the daughter have her own.
I am my mom’s only daughter. She couldn’t join me to look at wedding dresses or my best friend or any other friends. I went by self and with the help of a fabulous woman at the bridal salon we found my dress and our eyes light up together when I found my wedding dress. I was confident and truly happy with my selection and the best was no negative responses. I truly picked out MY wedding dress! 😊
You can very obviously tell on her face when she put that last one on that she liked how she looked in it!
I wonder if mum chose the groom too! I mean, according toum, it's HER wedding, and she's "just the bride"!!
She'll probably want to go on the honeymoon too.
lol. im doing wedding dress shopping by myself
👆🏼 SMART 👆🏼
Me, too!
How any mother can be this way is beyond me
From the lumpiest, bumpiest person on the whole show today......
Shows every lump and bump? Has mom looked at herself lately 💀
💀
She would look fantastic in anything
Mine is a narcissist….her mums truth is her own truth not her daughters truth
While I don’t like Mom’s interference I personally wanted to see her try something other than lace. I think she’d look amazing in something light and drape-y.
That dress is so beautiful on her!
She might have know her all her life and thinks she knows what suits her, but to say David doesn’t was pretty disrespectful. He’s a highly respected and experienced designer.
Can I just remind you Mom how much I truly love you. You were always, honest, supportive, and you knew me so well. I miss you so much and I am immensely glad this woman was not my mom.

Mom needs to LET GO!
And when their kids stop coming to visit they don't understand why.
My mom was so supportive when I went dress for my wedding she said ' I was the one who was going to be wearing it for 8+ hours so I'm the who had to like not her.".
Whose day is it?
She looks fabulous and glad the friends/bridesmaids spoke up
For a winter wedding? 🤔
The wedding is all about the bride and the groom mainly the bride it's not about Mom it's not about Dad it's not about whoever thinks a lot it's the bride only that mom needs to shut up and let her daughter have her day
She says the dress shows every lump and bump on her daughter...really??!
What a selfish petitlant child of a mother. Im glad my Mom, who is so narcissistic like this Mom, skipped picking my wedding dress shopping and skipped my wedding. Its better to be alone than poisoned by a toxic parent.
Remember brides, if you can't kindly but firmly stand up to your mum then you're too immature to be married!!!

She described her mom in the beginning of the video… that’s why I WOULDN’T bring her!
If the bride has to wear a potato sack in order to wear what SHE wants, so be it! And David, Mum is NOT the boss...
Am glad my mom isn't like that 😢. If she does have an opinion about something she'll tell me what she thinks but she's not gonna stop me from getting it. not to mention if she sees that I really do want it she'll put aside her opinion instead of forcing me to do something I don't want.

@@bobbymenon4057 Thank you. Lol. Glad I’m not the only one who perceived that fishiness.
She literally said it was HER wedding, and the daughter was "just the bride"!! That's not something that you can be made to say!
@@samanthafairweather9186 Lol. I hope you’re joking.
That mother absolutely is that self-centered. Did you see the dresses she picked for her daughter? Nothing close to what she said she wanted. Glad the daughter stuck to her guns!
These Mother's, really!! Not about you!! It's bs
Poor bride, her eyes just look sad….
Mom is wild as always. That final dress also wasn't lace, so no wonder she liked it😂
I'm happy my mom never did that to me, it's all about the bride and groom mom! not about you! If you got insecurities, don't put them on your daughter.
She made a mistake letting mom pay, if it was that important the bride should have paid on her own.
shes really pretty
Mom has enough lumps and bumps of her own to go around. No need to point out imperfections in others.
It's more a personal opinion about the lace
Beautiful bride 👰♀
I love and adore D E and all the staff there are so lovely ❤
The mother's truth and THE truth are two different things.
Young women save for the gown. You then have total control
And if you know they'll disagree why bring t h em ?
IT'S 👏👏HER 👏👏WEDDING👏👏
Agree with Mum re the lace but it's not our wedding so that's irrelevant, huh? Bride is glorious and I'm thrilled she got what SHE wanted.
Really she control old bag that need to sit down and be quiet
"It shows all your lumps and bumps" - silly twit - it may not be her actual size, plus every wedding dress has alterations. Mom is not nice.
He should have asked the others first
I miss my mom. She would like anything I'd like, not like this selfish mom.
I think alot of these shows are acted as such for entertainment purposes. Quite often people don't actually talk the way they do
4:51 are you sure you know what she likes? Or do you just know what you like for her
Why do brides not listen to what they want and the heck with all the others including their controlling mom’s, friends? Why? It’s your day!!
Not going to be a happy marriage if the bride let's her controlling mother control her. I see soooo many moms that want the dress they want instead of supporting the bride and what she wants.
First dress and the bride says she likes it, but you could see, that she was already sad. I think she knew exacly, that her mother wouldn't like this and she said herself, she would rather take a step back, than have an argument. Dont like this mom at all.
Bride needs to grow a backbone
She did!
They could get a a-line plain dress with a lace bolero. Problem solved
I bet she wouldn't have let her mother say that to her, when she got married!
An awful, bullying Mother. I feel for that poor young woman. I hope she has a happy married life.
Worst. Mother. Ever. Does she not realise this?
I would uninvite my mum.
The mums need to grow up , like they haven't had their own day
A Winter Wedding should be Satin and Fur.
Lovely.
I feel like she didn’t like that last dress
How’s a selfish woman got a lovely kind daughter like hers
That second dress looks fantastic no offense to hurt your mother has no Style your third dress was wonderful congratulations
She should've left her mum at home. 😢
Sorry, but Mum is a horror.
Mum or not she’s a closed minded controller
undedr-budget for a change
