Yes but it's also not fair to expect the mother to have a reaction she has no control over. The mother can, and did, be supportive, but crying at a dress is an involuntary response. And who knows what the circumstances were that day that lead to the tears. The bride was putting all of the pressure on her mother rather than just picking something she liked.
I agree, they were tears of relief. I'm getting very fed up with this pressure for everyone to cry. Fgs people can be happy without blubbing all over the place.
I found it so awkward that she wanted her mom to burst out crying lol 😂 I’m sorry the way my mom and I are shopping for dresses for the wedding is totally different. My mom has better taste than I do for sure
I am sad that Linda felt that she had to 'out do' her sister's wedding dress. It took the joy out of the experience. I'm also glad that she didn't settle for just any dress. The one that she finally chose was unique and looked beautiful on her. It flattered her figure very well.
@@mistybollinger3312 are you expecting a dress to make her change body type altogether she has a belly and its gonna be there regardless once she gets the dress to her measurements it'll look a better fit but her stomach is her stomach and the dress looked gorgeous
I think you are right. Now that she has the dress, she'll start agonizing about the catering, the flowers, the music, the photographer, because everything about HER wedding has to be better than what her sister had. Not a comfortable or productive way to live.
@@morganminpin It really isn't. People should live for their own happiness, not the competition to outdo others because there will always be someone who had it better no matter how good one has it.
Had a co-worker in her 50s and she would talk about how she disliked her sisters... her jealousy must have been a life long thing. It took me a while to figure out that her itchyness stemmed from her own insecurity. She was such an unpleasant person. Imagine being like that one's entire life an into their 50's but for no real reason. She was married, had a house, a decent life, frankly an easy job, she had a dog, had children and grandchildren but she was a pill and it was unnecessary all because of some mental issue.
@@emmalouie1663 That's why I always say, "Live by YOUR rules and love yourself. Forget what others do or how they live and stop comparing oneself to others because things aren't always what they seem.
“I want to top her!” Notice how all her attention is on out doing her sister rather then the person she is marrying. She’s going to want to have quadruplets if her sister has twins
she feels that way because her sisters were always favorited over her, for being plus sized and the middle child. i think it’s more about being loved and appreciated the way her sisters are rather than just wanting to put her sister down..
Fully agree. I'm plus sized and the middle child of 7, 5 of which including me are women and the fact that she was adamant her dress tops hers sister's dress screamed child for me. It wasn't about validation once she said that. Her sister also encouraged that mindset during that first appointment. My younger sister had boys and kept trying until she had a girl at child 5 when I had my only child that happened to be a girl. I'm in no way competitive so I never understood it. I hope she learns to live her life happily rather than comparing what should be her life mile stones with her sisters' and ruining those moments for herself.
Jo and Al didn’t exist when this episode was aired. The bridal industry as a whole did not exist for plus size brides. So this was as good as she could have gotten. Now there are tons of plus size designers and shops that cater to them. In the US. Why do you think that the US doesn’t have any shops like that now? So you think that they don’t exist if there isn’t a TV show about them? LOL
It's hilarious to me that they're pulling out these klienfeld's episodes with curvy brides like thats the only reason we like curvy brides boutique. It's literally Jo and Al. These consultations have NOTHING on Jo and Al
If I were the mother of three daughters I would stamp out any sibling rivalry. This mother just passively lets it happen. My mother never created any competition between myself and my two sisters. We got along well and always cheered each other on. Women compete with each other, without thinking about it. It is so damaging and a waste of energy. To compete with somebody you love is just insane.
True but most parents don't intentionally let it happen. It would be lying for them to say they don't have a favorite child, it's just human nature. And when they do there's jealousy and rivalry.
Boys in high school always tried to generate rivalry between my sister and I, even girls too, inviting just me to their birthdays cause I wasn''t "the pretty one". I never went to those, and our friedship with my sister was always the most important thing, for us both, thanks to my parents. I'm not sure that there's always a favourite child, we're all different and parents should be able to work on appreciating the different traits in their kids. We're 3 sisters too, and teachers would always compare us, boys would say my sis was the pretty one and I wasn't, etc. and specially through teenage years parents should help their children see how that's just a stupid game and that the bond between sisters can be beautiful!!
Option 2: one is fat and the other is really fat. She was probably constantly compared to her sister by other people and this has very little to absolutely nothing to do with the mom.
My sister and I are 12 years apart and different in every way possible. She hit major mile stones leagues before I ever would. Because of that mom was very vigilant to stop me from comparing myself to my sister. There's no way I could compare to her, we're two different people at different stages of our lives who want completely different things. I'm grateful she did that because now I can live along side her.
I am the middle child of 3 girls in my family. There are 6yrs between my older sister & myself & 7yrs between myself & my younger sister. I completely understand how this bride feels. My Mum always says there is no difference between us & she loves us all the same. BUT... I always have felt like the 'outsider' as my sisters have more in common with each other & my Mum. My older sister is awesome with business & brains etc...my younger sister was born with a slight heart defect, but is ok now. She is extremely close to my Mum & is now her full time carer as Mum is now wheelchair bound. The 3 of them have the same opinions, some hobbies & interests in common, whereas I don't... I have nothing in common with them at all, other than being blood related (even my blood group is different! Lol!). So, even tho it was never intentional, & my Mum always stopped any discussion about it at all, it has always been the 3 of them & me on my own...
Initially thought Linda was trying to compete with her sister but later realised she was craving her mom's and sisters' love and validation.. felt bad for her..
As a middle child AND a plus-size woman, I was right there with Linda. The final dress was definitely the right choice for her, and she looks gorgeous.
In my household it’s different. I’m the oldest but most forgotten . I have 2 younger sisters and they’re the favorites . So I definitely feel Linda’s pain .
@Pretty_Nesha Oh wow. That's so different from my household but i feel you. I'm the youngest and the most forgotten lol. I've been competing all my life having the best score in school, having a prestigious job etc, but I've given up now. I know I'll never be enough. My own mother didn't want me but didn't have an abortion because of my dad. They already had a girl and boy so she didn't see a reason to have another one. I just thank God that he sent other parental figures in my life through the neighbors and I'm now on a path towards the career I want soo...yeah Sorry for the huge trauma dump lol. I just needed to let that out 😅
She definitely needs to stop trying to compete with her sisters and just do what works for her and makes her happy. Don't worry about what they are doing or what they have or what they did. Do your own thing!
Mom brought eye drops to the second appointment just in case 🤣 This weird ass sibling rivalry makes me seriously question if she’s getting married for the right reasons.
When it came to meeting my husband, getting engaged/married, getting pregnant, etc. I never got the excited reaction from my parents. Every event was almost a “oh no” reaction from them. It really hurt. I had waited so long and been thru so much just to have them act like these milestones were not something to celebrate in my case. At some point you just stop caring what they think and prove them wrong by being unbelievably happy with your choices (as long as they are wise choices to begin with lol)
The thing is: I think what brings out the tears is watching the bride just glow with her dress like it isn’t the dress that causes the reaction is the bride and her reaction to the dress that brings that emotion to the moment
Thanks for showing the beautiful dress she ended up with, and not cutting off the video when she gave up at the first appointment. I hate the videos where the bride leaves empty handed
Gosh all that competition for a wedding frock..that is really sad. Accept who you are and wear what suits you. Randy wise words that you spoke. Bridal assistant patience of a Saint. Australia
The sister was spot on with her choosing the dress for all the wrong reasons. She could see that the bride was trying to out do the younger sister. I'm glad she learned something and the dress she choose is hers and not about her sister.
It’s sad she feels a constant competition with her sisters. She consistently says “We have to go above her” or “We need to top that” or “I want that since it was a wow dress and everyone cried when she put it on”
Okay, but her sister’s dress wasn’t even that great. Also, her mindset going into this appointment was super unhealthy. It’s not only going to make finding a dress much harder than if you just went in with a clear mind, but it’s also destructive mentally and emotionally.
@@somebody7070 the bride was pretty awful for making the whole thing about conquering her sister. She could have talked about how much her union with her fiance meant to her, and what an exciting and happy transition it was shaping up to be, but instead she made it about trying to make her sister less than her.
Bless her heart but she ruined her first appointment because she was competing against her sister. I’m glad she was able to find a beautiful dress but she needs to stop putting poor mom in the middle. She is blessed to have such a supportive family ♥️
@@fanfiction4thewin149exactlyyyy the mom clearly shows favourtism and the “supportive” sister was attacking her the entire appointment. She needs a better family than this toxic
‘Poor mom’ is casting herself as the meat in the sandwich…she is not! The mother should have got a hold on this constant rivalry years ago and stamped it out. Likely she’s spent years fanning the flames!!
@fanfiction4thewin149 you've replied to every comment stating the unhealthy nature of the bride's attitude. Are you the bride? She's toxic. That's the fact. If this was the other way round - sister competing with her bride sister getting married, I'm sure you'll be taking about jealousy, etc
@@fanfiction4thewin149you don't know that. You are watching a staged REALITY show. Sometimes people are just assholes and she didn't present as a downtrodden middle child, she presented like a damn spoilt brat.
It's a good thing she came back the second time because that dress was perfect and she didn't find it the first time. Her fiance will be happy LOL have a wonderful wedding day.
@FreyjaIris keep talking g out your ass about shit you don't know! I'm far from being a skinny girl! I'm 5ft 9 and 200lbs so let's see what else you dont know!! But thank you anyway!
This is sad...mom says double whammy, (middle child and plus size). They don't see her for her beauty, kindness and her accomplishments on her own. The dress she chose is stunning. Go and live your life with your man, who loves you as you are !!!
Glad I am not the only one who noticed her mom saying that. And as a mom myself, if you know that is how your child feels, then maybe do something to counteract that rather than feed into it.
Her "need" to top her? So does everything else top her sister too? Her venue, the costs, the groom? I can't imagine choosing my dress based on other people.
If she didn't make it into a competition, she may have actually found her dream dress on her first visit. It's sad that she feels she needs to compete.
This bride needs to change the wedding date, find her self-esteem, and THEN come back when she is able to focus on herself and not on TOPPING anyone. She's too insecure to get married. She's gonna spend her life trying to outdo this or that person and she's gonna miss out on the moments that MAKE life worth living.
@@KkKk-oy6rnRight. If you have such self confidence issues because of your size, change it. I know losing weight isn’t easy for some but seems so many just don’t take the effort to do so.
I am the middle child of three sisters. Each of us had our own unique style and didn't compete. It's unfortunate that Linda has insecurity issues and felt that her dress had to top the one her sister wore to her wedding. She was missing the point. It was HER wedding, one that was her chance to shine and make it her own. I loved the dress she finally chose and that she learned a lesson. Hopeful that she had a great wedding day and left her competitive insecurities behind.
She's going into this with the wrong mindset. She wanted her mother to cry and out do her sister and that's just unhealthy. There's definitely some insecurity there. Its not what the wedding is about. You marrying someone ho loves you, that should matter more.
My personal hell on Earth would be playing a board game with these people. Mom over there investing in acting classes so she can cry on cue around the 3rd try on.
The bride is overly focused on competing with her older sister. She needs to find A DRESS instead of spending time, energy, and money to outdoing her sister. RIDICULOUS.
Linda is waaaay to competitive and has a terrible attitude. I hope she's gotten over the pettiness of wanting to outdo her sister and actually have a happy life.
"It's about 500 people..." and the stylist was shocked lol.. My Indian ass laughing in the corner with almost 10 thousand guests at my reception alone hehehe
This Big Bliss season was the second year STTTD existed. Long before Jo and Al. Long before bridal designers thought about plus size brides. Now it is much different, as you see the shop at Curvy Brides Boutique is full of them. BTW, shops in the US have those very same dresses now. No one has to go overseas to get a dress.
It literally has nothing to do with trying to outdo your sister. I have two older sisters that got married before me and if you asked all of us who's wedding dress was the best we would all say our own dress
I understand fully the middle child syndrome. For my wedding, my mom and sisters didn't seem to give a damn about what I wanted. Me and my husband went to the courthouse because I couldn't stand it anymore and they were ruining everything. But my mom just loved shopping for my baby sisters dress! Had a grand ole time, "It's her day." Even had two fucking ceremonies for her. I could go on and on.. it's a shame.
I’m so sorry… It makes me angry that you’re so angry 😡 My sister in law is the middle child, and in HER case, from what I have always observed, she’s emphasizing the fact that she is the middle child, and seems to always act like she wants and needs the attention…. She is truly a wonderful person, and I love her so much❤❤ I feel badly, because my husband is the platinum child, my other sister in law is the golden child, and she sees herself as the black sheep of the family… she is sometimes left out of things , not in a vicious way at all, but it is sometimes hard for my in-laws to deal with drama … There is no fighting or harsh things said to her… she is no doubt loved, but she definitely has obvious insecurities, and this reflects in everything that she does. I hope that things will get better for you… I hope that your family will see that it hurts you, and that they should try to pay more attention to that❤❤
It might be my favorite episode, I love that she tried on so many different dresses, we usually only see 3 dresses and I always feel like it's not enough to make a decision. She looked stunning in most of them
I'm the middle child but I don't see my siblings as a competition. I have come to understand that my siblings and I are all unique and we all bring something special to the table, and we all love each other deeply. ^_^
What is GOING ON in Columbus Ohio?? I haven't seen a collection of the WORST haircuts, highlights, dye jobs & busted outfits in a long time. I can't believe that someone with that haircut had to leave Ohio to find a freaking wedding dress.
I feel like the true reason the mom cried is because she saw how confident her daughter was in that final dress. And that is really the secret to looking good in any dress is that the dress makes you feel confident and you look confident in that dress
Always try on things you don't think you'll like. I went in saying absolutely no mermaid and no beading. I walked out with a fully beaded mermaid dress 😂😂 try on as many styles as you can!
I used to be a bridal stylist and I would’ve put her in an A-Line gown to show off her figure but she also needs to remember she needs to find a dress for her not her family
OMG the bride was bonkers. I'm the least attractive of my sisters and I get feeling insecure. But to focus your wedding gown shopping on "topping" a sister? What kind of shitty attitude is that? And counterproductive, too, because that third dress during trip #1--the one everyone liked (it's at about 5:10 in the video)--was IT. Very flattering, elegant, satin gleaming and the gemstones adding some glam... but as soon as her sister says she likes it, nope, off with the gown. Didn't like the one she chose, but it's frankly a miracle she liked anything, so as long as she was happy, good for her.
They all acted like they were inconvenienced by having to be there. She is crying out for that same connection. The mom probably doesnt see it but the daughters sure do. She just wants to be treated as good as the others.
My Lord, how do these woman not see what the rest of us see. This woman isn’t the least bit concerned about her weight! What is going on. If her mother doesn’t cry, she isn’t happy. This woman needs therapy. She will never be happy with herself. She is in for some disappointments and I doubt she will be able to handle them. Way too immature for marriage.
It’s not about her sister. It’s about wanting to feel like her mom loves her just as much
Yep. She just wants her mother to be proud of her and look at her the same way she looks at her sisters.
It’s sister to sister jealousy.
Yes but it's also not fair to expect the mother to have a reaction she has no control over. The mother can, and did, be supportive, but crying at a dress is an involuntary response.

Facts😊
Her sister is one of the most beautiful brides I ever seen, its hard when someone like that is in the family with average looking sisters.
That momma was squeezing out those tears to make sure it was her last shop for a dress. Its truly sad when you have to compete.
I agree, they were tears of relief. I'm getting very fed up with this pressure for everyone to cry. Fgs people can be happy without blubbing all over the place.

Beautifully said. UK.
This bride suffers from SEVERE insecurity to the point that she will NEVER be happy unless she gets validation and approval from those around her.
I think she will be happy for she found someone who loves her for who she is and who saw the beauty she has inside and out no matter her size

Its about that. She just wants to be loved like her sister

Looks like they did have a nice wedding, she wore the dress, too.

“Tears mean approval” oh boy, her husband has a lifetime of that to look forward to.
She’s looking for validation from her mom and other sisters. She obviously never got it growing up.
Linda's in the wrong shop..... She needs Jo and Al ❣️

It's a good thing she came back the second time because that dress was perfect and she didn't find it the first time. Her fiance will be happy LOL have a wonderful wedding day.
Well you must be seeing something I'm not! I thought it looked horrible!
@@mistybollinger3312 I think that the dress's. material had print that reflected positively upon the bride.
@@mistybollinger3312 I agree. They had NOTHING that looked good on her. Jo and Al would have fixed her up.
@FreyjaIris keep talking g out your ass about shit you don't know! I'm far from being a skinny girl! I'm 5ft 9 and 200lbs so let's see what else you dont know!!
But thank you anyway!
@@brockreynolds870 yes maam they would! I wish they would open a shop in the states!!
This is sad...mom says double whammy, (middle child and plus size). They don't see her for her beauty, kindness and her accomplishments on her own. The dress she chose is stunning. Go and live your life with your man, who loves you as you are !!!
Glad I am not the only one who noticed her mom saying that. And as a mom myself, if you know that is how your child feels, then maybe do something to counteract that rather than feed into it.
Oh my god! i was just thinking that!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed what the mom said!! That was fucked up!
"Beauty"?????---Where???
Horrible mother
Sad that she's so focused on gaining an advantage over her sister. The final dress was beautiful.
If this is the family dynamic, I feel sorry for the groom.
Me too
That first dress is gorgeous. And FO to that sister. What a horrible human being. And mom grow up and act like a mother.
Quote " My cousin said my dress was a princess, Di. top that" not cool sis.
Her "need" to top her? So does everything else top her sister too? Her venue, the costs, the groom? I can't imagine choosing my dress based on other people.
If she didn't make it into a competition, she may have actually found her dream dress on her first visit. It's sad that she feels she needs to compete.
I went shopping for my wedding dress by myself and had a wonderful stress-free time finding the perfect dress. And it only cost $300.
me too!
Same.
Me too on both counts!,
The first dress actually looked good on her, the one she chose is also gorgeous.
This bride needs to change the wedding date, find her self-esteem, and THEN come back when she is able to focus on herself and not on TOPPING anyone. She's too insecure to get married. She's gonna spend her life trying to outdo this or that person and she's gonna miss out on the moments that MAKE life worth living.
It seems her wedding went well, she wore the dress. They married in 2012.
Wow that's a lot of advice from just seeing a video.
@@itsallgood4093 It's solid advice.
Also hit the gym during that time. Helps with the confidence
@@KkKk-oy6rnRight. If you have such self confidence issues because of your size, change it. I know losing weight isn’t easy for some but seems so many just don’t take the effort to do so.
I am the middle child of three sisters. Each of us had our own unique style and didn't compete. It's unfortunate that Linda has insecurity issues and felt that her dress had to top the one her sister wore to her wedding. She was missing the point. It was HER wedding, one that was her chance to shine and make it her own. I loved the dress she finally chose and that she learned a lesson. Hopeful that she had a great wedding day and left her competitive insecurities behind.
my god this show is about human nature, not dresses
I’m crying from exhaustion. This chick is too much
The dress she ended up buying was lovely!
would've been a lot lovelier if it was an A-line or ballgown to actually suit her shape.
Absolutely agree with you Alison. UK.
The-DRESS-was,-yes.
As a large woman myself, the dress she picked looked lovely on her. I hope her marriage is a wonderful time in her life. God bless
Christiane has so much class. Thank you for your sensitive civility.
I'm glad she was finally able to find a dress she felt beautiful wearing.
Honestly, I liked the very first dress she tried on. It was very flattering on her.
Mom needed a ziplock bag with half an onion in her purse to cut this nonsense short.
When the family starts crying out of desperation XD
She's going into this with the wrong mindset. She wanted her mother to cry and out do her sister and that's just unhealthy. There's definitely some insecurity there. Its not what the wedding is about. You marrying someone ho loves you, that should matter more.
I feel bad for Linda. That attitude comes from feeling less-than, and the family kind of rolls their eyes at it. Happy she found a dress!
Truly how can any plus size girl feel really good if all these dresses have been designed for a more medium to small size form
2:28 what did they mute/edit out that the mum said?
Mom finally acted like crying out of desperation 😂😭😂
My personal hell on Earth would be playing a board game with these people. Mom over there investing in acting classes so she can cry on cue around the 3rd try on.
I feel bad for this bride because she's missing out on a special moment by focusing on the wrong thing.
I know it was a struggle, but I'm so glad she waited for the right dress. It looked gorgeous on her!
The bride is overly focused on competing with her older sister. She needs to find A DRESS instead of spending time, energy, and money to outdoing her sister. RIDICULOUS.
Linda is waaaay to competitive and has a terrible attitude. I hope she's gotten over the pettiness of wanting to outdo her sister and actually have a happy life.
Well with sisters like that who needs enemies. Right off the bat insulting her like that ?? You know where she gets it from.
I felt the same thing. Linda had her focus on everything else but, her own happiness and what makes her happy.
Time for therapy
I took a real dislike to this bride and I didn’t think much of her family either!
that first dress was exactly what she said she wanted and it was pretty
The mum was just crying with exhaustion at the end 😂
"It's about 500 people..." and the stylist was shocked lol.. My Indian ass laughing in the corner with almost 10 thousand guests at my reception alone hehehe
How do you know that many people?😅
How???? Omg!
Did you go to Nazreena for your outfits???
I don't even know that many people lol
@@denisehall4818 My wedding happened in 2010, so Nazrana does not even exist then hahaha
Mom was crying because she was tired of dress shopping and wanted it to end
This segment actually made me sad. However, I hope the wedding was a lovely event.
So happy for that bride. Every bride deserves to feel special and beautiful.
This is sad and so unhealthy to have that rivalry, especially as adults! Good grief.
Sorry, but no way could I walk down the aisle this heavy. This girl is too young to be this big.
I thought the most flattering dress she put on was the first one.
Why do they want to see people cry,whats wrong with people simply saying that the gown looks lovely.
Being over emotional and driven to tears is seen as some kind of success??🤷🤷🤷
I am embarrassed for the level of petty going on here. I can’t relate or respect even the perspective .
She seems a tad immature
Needy.
Mentally immature.
I kinda think Linda needs some therapy. She needs to love herself as who she is.
Omg, I'm crying!!!
Beautiful gown, beautiful bride, and my goodness, the best bridal assistant ever!!
❤
This bride needs Jo and Al. They would have done a much better job of it.
This Big Bliss season was the second year STTTD existed. Long before Jo and Al. Long before bridal designers thought about plus size brides. Now it is much different, as you see the shop at Curvy Brides Boutique is full of them. BTW, shops in the US have those very same dresses now. No one has to go overseas to get a dress.
Nope they did good
She shouldn’t try to compete, she’s too insecure and not comfortable in her own skin.
The first dress she tried on was the best one.
It literally has nothing to do with trying to outdo your sister. I have two older sisters that got married before me and if you asked all of us who's wedding dress was the best we would all say our own dress
I understand fully the middle child syndrome. For my wedding, my mom and sisters didn't seem to give a damn about what I wanted. Me and my husband went to the courthouse because I couldn't stand it anymore and they were ruining everything. But my mom just loved shopping for my baby sisters dress! Had a grand ole time, "It's her day." Even had two fucking ceremonies for her. I could go on and on.. it's a shame.
I’m so sorry… It makes me angry that you’re so angry 😡
My sister in law is the middle child, and in HER case, from what I have always observed, she’s emphasizing the fact that she is the middle child, and seems to always act like she wants and needs the attention…. She is truly a wonderful person, and I love her so much❤❤ I feel badly, because my husband is the platinum child, my other sister in law is the golden child, and she sees herself as the black sheep of the family… she is sometimes left out of things , not in a vicious way at all, but it is sometimes hard for my in-laws to deal with drama … There is no fighting or harsh things said to her… she is no doubt loved, but she definitely has obvious insecurities, and this reflects in everything that she does.
I hope that things will get better for you… I hope that your family will see that it hurts you, and that they should try to pay more attention to that❤❤
You ruined it yourself. Q with your own insecurities
Good lord two ceremonies for what? For what???
@@eileenmcdonald1599 bitch huh?!!? No she didnt??? Lmfao
@@eileenmcdonald1599How?
It might be my favorite episode, I love that she tried on so many different dresses, we usually only see 3 dresses and I always feel like it's not enough to make a decision. She looked stunning in most of them
I'm so glad my sister is nothing like me so we never get compared 😂
That dress looked amazing on her. Truly a beautiful dress.😊
If the bride says she likes it, for the love of God, try to be supportive.
I'm the middle child but I don't see my siblings as a competition. I have come to understand that my siblings and I are all unique and we all bring something special to the table, and we all love each other deeply. ^_^
What is GOING ON in Columbus Ohio?? I haven't seen a collection of the WORST haircuts, highlights, dye jobs & busted outfits in a long time. I can't believe that someone with that haircut had to leave Ohio to find a freaking wedding dress.
This is a really old episode
I feel like the true reason the mom cried is because she saw how confident her daughter was in that final dress. And that is really the secret to looking good in any dress is that the dress makes you feel confident and you look confident in that dress
Linda WANTS the tears instead of dress...!🤨🤨
Your mum cried because she’s exhausted.😂
She looks stunning in that dress! What a beautiful bride she will be.
Always try on things you don't think you'll like. I went in saying absolutely no mermaid and no beading. I walked out with a fully beaded mermaid dress 😂😂 try on as many styles as you can!
Such beautiful hair!!! Linda looked wonderful in the dress she selected.
What a shame she felt she had too have a better dress than her sister . Should be about herself sad really
I used to be a bridal stylist and I would’ve put her in an A-Line gown to show off her figure but she also needs to remember she needs to find a dress for her not her family
I’m so glad she found that dress. She’s so sweet. That dress was perfect!
She picked the right dress in the end. It looked beautiful on her whether her mother cried or not. I hope her husband absolutely loved it. X
OMG the bride was bonkers. I'm the least attractive of my sisters and I get feeling insecure. But to focus your wedding gown shopping on "topping" a sister? What kind of shitty attitude is that? And counterproductive, too, because that third dress during trip #1--the one everyone liked (it's at about 5:10 in the video)--was IT. Very flattering, elegant, satin gleaming and the gemstones adding some glam... but as soon as her sister says she likes it, nope, off with the gown. Didn't like the one she chose, but it's frankly a miracle she liked anything, so as long as she was happy, good for her.
The "mom needs to cry" thing is really juvenile.
The bride is the one who keeps shifting the attention, the should have focused on HER own dress, not her sister's.😊
Linda's husband is going to have a lot of headaches over the years.
Linda has paralyzing insecurities.
They all acted like they were inconvenienced by having to be there. She is crying out for that same connection. The mom probably doesnt see it but the daughters sure do. She just wants to be treated as good as the others.
I think the first dress was way more flattering than any of the sausage skin dresses she came out in afterwards.
My Lord, how do these woman not see what the rest of us see. This woman isn’t the least bit concerned about her weight! What is going on. If her mother doesn’t cry, she isn’t happy. This woman needs therapy. She will never be happy with herself. She is in for some disappointments and I doubt she will be able to handle them. Way too immature for marriage.
