The first family, the father focusing on her hip span, her breasts and her waist is beyond inappropriate. What a disgusting creep. Shes inly 17 also. Its beyond disgusting
It’s not the father focusing on that, it’s the dress itself puting emphasis on the hip span, breasts and waist. It’s the dress that may be inapproproate for her age, not anyone pointing this out.
He could be evaluating those parts of her anatomy for the purpose of child bearing, which is a very important part of marriage in certain religious communities, if not the most important part. Certainly the health of the married women who are bearing those many, many children isn't their number one priority. I recognize the signs this family is part of one of those communities.
Everybody not picking up on the fact that dad said he picked the 17 year olds husband ! She definitely grew up in a independent Baptist like environment like the duggers he is picking her husband and treating her like an infant! Kara needs a wellness check and that Father should be on a watchlist!
He specifically said 'I couldn't have picked a better " meaning.. 'if I had picked'. Therefore, she picked the boy. No doubt however Dad had right of veto...
@@newgabe09 I believe he did pick because I can use that same sentence for something I picked myself. ( I went to the kennel and got my cat fluffy , I couldn't have picked a better cat.) That is still saying I picked it . If he had said I couldn't have picked better (myself) maybe he didn't pick. Based on certain things said In the video I think they are a certain type of extreme Christian
she will wake up soon and regret it. If she 'graduated' HGS already, no doubt it was homeschool, and she is in a religious college. Having no life at all before you get married...it's child abuse!
Why are they letting these children play dress up. Stop them from. Getting married. Wait 5 yes. See if they want the same partners. Work .apt living. Expense. Get real parents
@@everlasting9292 well, that's after the wedding. He doesn't want her to be on parade to anyone else but himself and his rules. Creep meter is bursting!
So that first girl was considered old enough to marry, have sex and pop out a couple of babies..... But not old enough to choose her own clothing? WHERE IS THE LOGIC I BEG OF YOU?! O.o And the dresses she did prefer were very tasteful and still pretty damn conservative...
@@susangrottke8343 Yeah I know, but she was choosing her bridal gown, which would then have been followed by consummating the marriage on the wedding night and potentially kids....
19, and dumbest mistake ever. I could have been a drug addict wild child, and that would have been more forgiven. It stunted everything and I didn't get to live life until the children were grown. Just say NO to teen marriage!
Dads being strict in his daughter’s love life is gross and creepy. I don’t care who comes after me for this, but he has no right and it’s just gross. This includes the dress she’s going to wear, because her body is NOT his property, and that’s how he’s acting. It’s gross. Esp having her get married so young.
I think it's one thing to say what she should and shouldn't wear while she's "under your household," but once you say yes to giving her away, what she wears is not your choice. You can't choose her wedding dress!
People are entitled to their different beliefs and boundaries and there's nothing wrong with a father not wanting his daughter to show off a lot of skin. In fact it would be creepy if he did want her to show a lot of skin.
It's creepy that he is allowing her to marry, and clearly is a control freak. He is ready to get her out of his house. Somebody else pay for her braces.
Dads having so much to say about their daughter’s body is creepy AF! And no 17yr old should be getting married unless she’s got a very short life ahead due to a terminal illness. Way too young. Mind you you couldn’t have made me understand that when I was 17 if I’d wanted to get married
I got married at 19 because my mother did. Now at 62, I realize that I kind of railroaded my boyfirend into it. 31 miserable years later, we finally divorced. I have 5 wonderful children and 6 grandchildren which makes the misery worthwhile to me, but I regret the pain they knew growing up. I tell every girl now not to get married before they are educated, have a way to support themselves, have figured out who they are when they are alone. And divorce is worth considering when you are living in an abusive situation.
Its probably the fathers job to find someone to marry his daughter , so that he knows she will be taken care of ..he probably also has numerious other wives in his household ..
Very true , the wedding is just one short day and it is also the groom's day just as much as the bride. It is what comes after the wedding that is the most important, if they put the same effort that was put in the wedding into the marriage wonder what the divorce rates would be
Really bothers me when these young girls say they need a dress to make them feel grown up. It doesn’t get anymore grown up than committing to marriage. Marriage is hard enough , these girls act like kids!! This looks a serious stuff no wonder divorce is so high.
Last bride's budget was either 1000 or 2000 dollars . . . Bride mentioned 2K ! Can that be called a lack of cash flow ? I find it disrespectful that the budget was constantly referred to in a negative way. . . . The assistant helping the bride needs to go in for extra training, to be taught about showing respect and not constantly making disparaging remarks about the budget and asking the bride to up her budget.
In some religious communities the children are considered the Father's property and reserves the right to oversee His household according to Biblical instructions. The Father wants to present His daughter as a pure and treasured gift to be given to her husband. One might not agree with it, but more Father's need to step up be involved in their daughter's lives. Maybe not be so purest, and allow the daughter to choose HER dress. It's obvious the young woman knows what modesty is.

My sister was engaged at 16 to a 21 year old and married right out of high school. I on the other hand our parents chased every single guy off so now 40 and have never been married. I habent brought a guy home to meet them in 20 years.
Just to add a different perspective; young marriage can be devastating for some, but an absolute blessing to others... Myself and my husband met at 16 and married at 20 (no children). 8 years on and its still the best decision i've ever made. Its not for everyone, but as hard as it is to believe, we were ready. Due to family circumstances/responsibilities, we both matured quicker than average. We undertook pre-marriage conselling, planned out our future, and understood the necessity to allow eachother to grow. When we got married, I vowed to marry not just the man before me then, but also the man he would later become. I wouldn't want 20 year old me, to be the same as 30 year old me or 40, or 50, or 60 etc. It has been the biggest blessing to find my life partner so young. In my experience, the key to a successful marriage, is to simply keep growing up together, no matter the age you start from 😊
I was 17 when I got married. I just turned 21. My husband is 23. We met when I was just about to turn 13 and he had just turned 15. We had a lot of challenges come into our lives. Helped each other through. My mother has dementia. My older brother is in medical school. I have a younger brother. Whenever my friend and I would have a problem, we both worked together to fix it. We fell in love. He's an amazing person. Everyone wants to say I grew up too quickly. That's not true. I was already going through stuff that made me have to grow up quickly. So was my boyfriend. He helps me stay young. He helps me stay young. I wanted to get married while my mother still remembers me. I never told anyone that was a fear of mine. When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, he didn't want a girlfriend, he didn't want to live with a girl, he wanted a wife. He wants us each equally invested in the life we build together. I love my husband. He's the one.
I met my husband at 16 he was 19 got engaged at 17 got married at 18 and had my daughter at 19. I was married for 30 years until he died he wasn't the best but I did everything for my 4 kids to stay together. This age is way to young especially in these days back in my day people got married young. My mother got married at 19, my daughter got married at 19 all of us did not have good husbands Im the only one who didn't get a divorce my mom amd daughter got divorced because they all the husbands cheated.
@@carly4082 back then they got married younger. I got married at 18 that's legal. He was away at college I was living at home with my mom going to school then college, until we got married that was the rules.
Angels5990. Thank you for sharing your beautiful love story and I am sorry for your loss. I think it's sad that so many women are looking down on the fact a girl wants to get married and have a family at a young age but they are encouraged when they want to go out and party have good times and sleep around with a bunch of different men. To me it's just a warp ideology to have.
In this day and age, 19 is much too young to get married, both for males and females. For one thing, we're living much, much longer. Men and females are expected to do so much more "with" and "of" their lives. Gender roles, and age-appropriateness are not as predetermined, so if girl wants to remain unmarried, become a mechanic, open a Harley Davidson shop, and ride around the world digging wells in remote locations and vlogging about her adventures, she can. There are so many more "life styles" to choose from! Another thing, people in their mid-20s are no longer thought of as full adults. Entering into an agreement that is supposed to be life-long when one has not fully considered all the options one has in front, is not advisable. I'm sad to hear of those young marriages in your family not working and hope all of you have found your own inner strength and created a good environment for yourselves. We do not need spouses (or children, or parents, or blood relatives) in order to have a happy life. Joy, peace, contentment, and purpose can be found in so many places!
People can express their views but at the end the BRIDE gets to choose what she wants. I knew what I wanted back in 1975 - went to the Pronuptia shop and explained what I wanted - first and only dress I tried on - no frilly lace, no bling and no bosoms spilling out - very classy.
The title says shes 16. The girl herself in the video says shes 17 and the lady told ryan that shes 19😂 like how old is she really id hate to play telaphone with these people 😂
I have friends. At the time, their daughter and her bf were 18. They didn't want her to have sex before marriage, so they got married. It ended horribly.
It’s a little creepy that Daddy decides what dress his daughter wears on her wedding day. I mean when it’s time for the I do’s are the bride and groom going to have to tell the minister to hang on for a sec while they ask their mommy and daddy if it’s okay? I certainly hope the groom is also young, otherwise hubby and daddy should be on that list that says keep away from minors.
Id be choosing to get my 17 year old to the school bus n time. You are legally a child until 18 yet the brain isn't fully developed until 21. Dad's creepy.
my first marriage i was 19. and not muture enough to be serious about it. i divorced him and grew up after that. i remarried, had daughters. he lives in heaven now. i would love to take the first marriage and the divorce out of my background. i miss my husband, but heaven is the greatest place to be.
Don’t know much about the FLDS; but I do know a lot about the LDS, and I can say if that dad is LDS he ain’t anything like the others I know. He’s a whole different breed for sure 😆
If a taliban man married a 16 year old with her father being happy for her CNN would go and make a depressing documentary with sad music in the background Yet here comic music is played and everything is considered sweet and lovely Back in east it’s marriage between two families and economic conditions drive such marriages to secure security and financial and sex is not in the picture till the girl is mature enough and understands
I think most brides on these shows are more focused on their look and very few consider the fact that if it’s a church wedding a little modesty would not go amiss. By all means have a glam dress but sheer panels on the bodice, cut low at the front to accentuate the cleavage? I think these girls are all about the look and not the location. I’m sure that some will think me prudish but to me respect and a little modesty are very important in a church setting.
I think you're overestimating the amount of people that get married in a church these days. I'm 35 so have just finished a solid decade+ of attending multiple weddings a year. 2 were in a church, both Catholic. That's it. Beaches, parks, homes, and designated venues are where people get married. One of the church weddings they actually got married on a farm and then 6 months later had the church wedding to appease the groom's father.
@@Secretagent71114 yes you could be right, also I don’t know where your from but I’m English and a lot of ceremonies are still held in churches although that seems to be changing.
@yvonnescholey8972 Yup, American here. We are definitely moving away from church weddings and religion generally. I even have a license to perform marriages from my state (cost me $10) because so many of my friends just wanted someone to sign the papers at their house etc. I married one of my friends and her husband in the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant while they waited for their take out 😄
@@Secretagent71114 o that’s so sad. I married my husband at 23 and we have been married for almost 39 years. Some of our best memories were being married in church with our family and friends there. I guess times really have changed😔
There is something wrong with the second dad! He’s marrying her off at 17 while still in braces for goodness sake’s. The neck dress offended him but she can get married at 17. This sounds like he’s a senior member in a religious cult. That’s crazy.

Helped each other through. My mother has dementia. My older brother is in medical school. I have a younger brother. Whenever my friend and I would have a problem, we both worked together to fix it. We fell in love. He's an amazing person. Everyone wants to say I grew up too quickly. That's not true. I was already going through stuff that made me have to grow up quickly. So was my boyfriend. He helps me stay young. He helps me stay young. I wanted to get married while my mother still remembers me. I never told anyone that was a fear of mine. When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, he didn't want a girlfriend, he didn't want to live with a girl, he wanted a wife. He wants us each equally invested in the life we build together. I love my husband. He's the one.
“The vigilant yet loving eye” okay so her dad is Big Brother from 1984 lmao
I met my husband at 16 he was 19 got engaged at 17 got married at 18 and had my daughter at 19. I was married for 30 years until he died he wasn't the best but I did everything for my 4 kids to stay together. This age is way to young especially in these days back in my day people got married young. My mother got married at 19, my daughter got married at 19 all of us did not have good husbands Im the only one who didn't get a divorce my mom amd daughter got divorced because they all the husbands cheated.
That's kinda illegal
@@carly4082 back then they got married younger. I got married at 18 that's legal. He was away at college I was living at home with my mom going to school then college, until we got married that was the rules.
Yeah, but that’s not the norm,and happened in another time.
Angels5990. Thank you for sharing your beautiful love story and I am sorry for your loss.
I think it's sad that so many women are looking down on the fact a girl wants to get married and have a family at a young age but they are encouraged when they want to go out and party have good times and sleep around with a bunch of different men.
To me it's just a warp ideology to have.
In this day and age, 19 is much too young to get married, both for males and females. For one thing, we're living much, much longer. Men and females are expected to do so much more "with" and "of" their lives. Gender roles, and age-appropriateness are not as predetermined, so if girl wants to remain unmarried, become a mechanic, open a Harley Davidson shop, and ride around the world digging wells in remote locations and vlogging about her adventures, she can. There are so many more "life styles" to choose from! Another thing, people in their mid-20s are no longer thought of as full adults. Entering into an agreement that is supposed to be life-long when one has not fully considered all the options one has in front, is not advisable. I'm sad to hear of those young marriages in your family not working and hope all of you have found your own inner strength and created a good environment for yourselves. We do not need spouses (or children, or parents, or blood relatives) in order to have a happy life. Joy, peace, contentment, and purpose can be found in so many places!
Wonder what these "young" brides will wear for the divorce party !!!
Dad is gonna be watching over his daughter during her honeymoon, instructing her 17 year old husband, what to do - lol
Ewwww! Bet Dad did pick the groom out!
These are literal children.
Georgia just seems like she's trying to rebel & grow up too fast...💔
People can express their views but at the end the BRIDE gets to choose what she wants. I knew what I wanted back in 1975 - went to the Pronuptia shop and explained what I wanted - first and only dress I tried on - no frilly lace, no bling and no bosoms spilling out - very classy.
I wonder whether these young brides are still married to the same guy they were preparing to marry in these appointments or not
The first girl is not and she got away from her dad's control
Cults
@@chitownangel16how did you find out?
@@chitownangel16Oh thank God
@@chitownangel16 How did you find out?
Dads high standards what a joke….he is on his 2nd marriage…..
I would imagine that this is his 2nd wife and he's still married to the 1st. He's got that vibe. SICK!
I was 16 knew him 2 weeks 53 years ago. Love him more every day
Why this brother has to say against his mother
Oh my god she is to young.. why could let an old man get close to his child
She's much too young to be married. And to a much older man? That's gross.
First one is getting married to a “young man” that title was total Clickbait.
That is a pretty good price for a dress. I was expecting it to be super expensive, but was pleasantly surprised. :)
8:58
Lori looks younger in the newer seasons, not older, wow!
This episode is disturbing
The title says shes 16. The girl herself in the video says shes 17 and the lady told ryan that shes 19😂 like how old is she really id hate to play telaphone with these people 😂
I have friends. At the time, their daughter and her bf were 18. They didn't want her to have sex before marriage, so they got married. It ended horribly.
Child trafficking? 😳💔
How is this legal?! She’s a literal child and this “husband” and the father are predators!!
It’s a little creepy that Daddy decides what dress his daughter wears on her wedding day. I mean when it’s time for the I do’s are the bride and groom going to have to tell the minister to hang on for a sec while they ask their mommy and daddy if it’s okay? I certainly hope the groom is also young, otherwise hubby and daddy should be on that list that says keep away from minors.
The first family is a sad example of brainwashing ur children. The whole situation is disturbing
Back in my day that age
The people that work there should have a talk with young to be bride ALONE....talk some sense to the young girl....
17. Not a chance . Plus dad is a weirdo
I'm not judging her age .. she is getting married ( hopefully only once in her lifetime) that dress should be her choice. period.
19 it's legal😂 n thn 17 year. Oh god... 😂till 24 I was in university❤lol...
Where is the 63 yr old fiancé that is noted in the title?
Clickbait I guess...
1-2K is more than enough😂
Tattoos ruin everything.
Id be choosing to get my 17 year old to the school bus n time. You are legally a child until 18 yet the brain isn't fully developed until 21. Dad's creepy.
First family creepy..
Is 17 leagal! What is the legal age for marriage in america and Europe!
In the US, it's 18 without parental consent. With parental consent, it depends on which state. Some are as young as 14, but most are 16+
Dad worried about the dress but ok about her getting married at 17
my first marriage i was 19. and not muture enough to be serious about it. i divorced him and grew up after that. i remarried, had daughters. he lives in heaven now. i would love to take the first marriage and the divorce out of my background. i miss my husband, but heaven is the greatest place to be.
I saw this episode when it first was on tv & the 17 yr old’s father was extremely creepy!
Watching it again? The dad is even more creepy & disgusting!
Why did the assistant say she is 19 to Monte when the “bride” said she is 17
That was a different bride
Two different brides, the one with the braces was 17.
Cut in 2 episodes to confuse viewers
What is going on ?😢😢😢
She 19 going on 15.
Thank you ❤😂🎉😊😅
Got creeper vibe from 17 yr olds dad like on his computer ar nite looking ar stuff. Maybe teen is preg
Would love to know if the 17 yr old is still married & has escaped the cult & her dad!
The editing makes this unwatchable 😮
Does anyone else think the first bride is an arranged marriage? Also, dad's comments about his daughter's body is creepy and sickening.
No. Not at all
17 to get marry and father is strict?????? Just imagine if he was not strict.......
This is so creepy. Dad is shameful. FLDS? LDS? Creepy
Don’t know much about the FLDS; but I do know a lot about the LDS, and I can say if that dad is LDS he ain’t anything like the others I know. He’s a whole different breed for sure 😆
The is not an lds relationship. I am.lds and we r Christian and don't Condon this
FLDS and LDS? Meaning what? Tried googling it but there's a lot of search results for those Acronyms lmao
@@beccasmithers2672 LDS?
This makes me feel old.
If a taliban man married a 16 year old with her father being happy for her CNN would go and make a depressing documentary with sad music in the background
Yet here comic music is played and everything is considered sweet and lovely
Back in east it’s marriage between two families and economic conditions drive such marriages to secure security and financial and sex is not in the picture till the girl is mature enough and understands
The old gal is amazing looking with her hair and tattoos ❤love her
Say after me...DEK-LO-TAAAATTTTGE
I think most brides on these shows are more focused on their look and very few consider the fact that if it’s a church wedding a little modesty would not go amiss. By all means have a glam dress but sheer panels on the bodice, cut low at the front to accentuate the cleavage? I think these girls are all about the look and not the location. I’m sure that some will think me prudish but to me respect and a little modesty are very important in a church setting.
When all the bridesmaids are strapless, they look naked when you sit behind them in church!
I think you're overestimating the amount of people that get married in a church these days.
I'm 35 so have just finished a solid decade+ of attending multiple weddings a year. 2 were in a church, both Catholic. That's it. Beaches, parks, homes, and designated venues are where people get married. One of the church weddings they actually got married on a farm and then 6 months later had the church wedding to appease the groom's father.
@@Secretagent71114 yes you could be right, also I don’t know where your from but I’m English and a lot of ceremonies are still held in churches although that seems to be changing.
@yvonnescholey8972 Yup, American here. We are definitely moving away from church weddings and religion generally.
I even have a license to perform marriages from my state (cost me $10) because so many of my friends just wanted someone to sign the papers at their house etc. I married one of my friends and her husband in the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant while they waited for their take out 😄
@@Secretagent71114 o that’s so sad. I married my husband at 23 and we have been married for almost 39 years. Some of our best memories were being married in church with our family and friends there. I guess times really have changed😔
She's 17 not 16.
Click bait
There is something wrong with the second dad! He’s marrying her off at 17 while still in braces for goodness sake’s. The neck dress offended him but she can get married at 17. This sounds like he’s a senior member in a religious cult. That’s crazy.
DAMMIT!!!! I thought we got rid of the Duggars...ok time to set some traps...
Which bride's groom is 63?
Scummy clickbait title. There are other problems with this episode but that was NOT one of them
Leave Dad at home
Click bait alert!!! She is not 16 & her fiancé is not 63. PLEASE DISLIKE.
Holy crap
I'm sorry I don't agree with getting married at 17 or younger.
