      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!

      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.

    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.

    I bet she wouldn't have let her mother say that to her, when she got married!

    They could get a a-line plain dress with a lace bolero. Problem solved

    Next time leave mom at home.. These are grown women who are getting married, they don't need mom to make their choice for their dress for their wedding..

    It’s just 2000 pounds, sure it’s not nothing, but it’s not difficult to save up 2000 pounds to buy yourself a gown. Why go through this kind of tortue just to get a free dress.
