She wasn't coming out of the dresses they have to be tailored Mom is a HAG!!!

Agreed. I think the bride is a bit too sensitive.

Family is always family giving their views

I think mom had her own ideas of what she wanted her to wear.

I agree. The previous dresses were actually bad.

Yes. All the dresses shown were not flattering. This bride could have done a lot of better.

Agreed. Why do all the dresses have all that extra material? It just looks ‘heavy’ and (IMO) not flattering. And there are 10,000 ball gowns - the one the consultant picked was ugly (but not all of them are). At least you can’t see her belly button indent in the one she chose.

imo many Kleinfield dresses are ugly I hate all Pina Tornai dresses personnaly

Yes, I agree. I don’t know why this consultant had to keep showing the same curtain/comforter dresses. They were really weird and didn’t fit the bride well.

I do not like satin - not just b/c it is "old." I never liked satin when this was filmed in 2012, nor at any other time. Also, Kristy is short-waisted & Allison kept pulling dresses with wide belts that negatively emphasized this.

The weird stuff makes an interesting show.

That "princess dress/ball gown" was *not* a regular ball gown. That skirt with the layers and ruffles was not the kind of skirt one usually sees in a ball gown. It seems the consultant picked that one because it looked, well, pretty ridiculous, tbh, so Mom wouldn't like it.

@@bunnyslippers191exactly. Very odd choice of princess gown

She made scary faces but her heart was good. I wanted to see a real princess dress too. The one that came out had a Minoan skirt.

Tell mom leave... she's lost weight. Tell mom shut up and say yes no matter what mom says and wants..

Same

Nothing wrong with that. I did too.

Or, if someone wants to offer to help pay they should be doing it because they want to help, not because they need to control some facet of someone else's big day. My fiancé and I are completely funding our own wedding, aside from three lovingly offered contributions (which were offered, not requested.) Of those three, not one of them has said they need to be a part of a decision. Two of them are even just giving us the cash and saying, "Use it on whatever you need to use it on." That's how it should be - no strings attached.

This soooooo true. Save up and buy your own dress.

A “gift”should never have strings attached or conditions. If you want to have some control in the wedding plans be upfront and say “I expect XYZ because I’m paying or contributing”.

Well, she nodded, and I saw a little smile!

@@carolynworthington8996 she must have been working overtime...

No

Yes! That's why I had to go wedding dress shopping alone. I knew what would happen.

@@user-qg8qu6gg4s Same here. I also paid for mine so I could get what I loved.

It is.

@@user-qg8qu6gg4s I still had to have mine along, otherwise it would have turned into her going to family behind my back saying, "Can you believe she went wedding dress shopping without me? ME, her own mother?!" But, to distract her a little, I also booked an extra hour at the same salon just for her to try on MoB dresses. That way, she still got her attention that she so desperately needs, but also had something to look forward to after my appointment. Sad we have to do things like this with narcissistic moms just to keep the peace.

This is from like 2012. These hairstyles were somewhat in back then. Hopefully, they have changed them.

Her sister looks like she's straight out of the early 90s haha

I came here to say the same. All the sisters and the friend had the same haircut. Which I never liked, personally. So glad it’s pretty much gone out of style.

It was horrible

iT WAS THE MOST PRETTY.

I've been there when mom's self hate about her body gets passed on to the daughter. Times have also changed and women can show off their bodies tastefully and look beautiful

Her homely mother is jealous

I especially dislike the moms that were once rail thin, but time, hormones, and gravity got the best of them, and now they criticize because they miss being that size. Almost like they're trying to make their kids feel guilty about their part in what happened to their bodies.

This mom has no clue how to express love. She knows one thing: NEGATIVE.... 😡

She didn't keep nearly enough of those opinions to herself.

@DayDreamer1968 no kidding. If I were her daughter, I would have called a cab to take me to the airport to fly to another city to buy my wedding dress. Adios, mom.

Looks like all her body issues are from her mother. Not good at all. And that comment about her backside looking big in one dress?? Awful!!!

@@hlondon2408i agree

Is this bride 23 years old?

No way this bride is 23 years old. She's definitely older than 23.

@@mariesmith1616 No. @absatwell8163 said "If MY 23 year old.." not the bride in the video.

@@NH-tb2sm OP said "MY" 23 year old -not the bride in the video.

@@TheScarlett618 well if a comment compares her 23 year old to the bride then it insinuates that the bride is 23 years old.

EXACTLY! I think her mom is stuck in the idea of who Kristy was at some point in her life. The thing is, it seems a lot of mom's don't get that their children change. Children aren't little dolls that stay the same and never grow or change as people. Honestly, it's an issue I deal with from my own mom regularly. We didn't talk for a period of 5 years a decade ago, and in that time I did a lot of work on myself. No matter what, though, I'm still the me I was way back when I was a self-absorbed tween. Didn't matter that we had a relationship and I had even changed a bunch before our split, I'm still the same kid I was when I was 12 as far as she's concerned. Point is, some mom's really struggle seeing their children as the people they've become (for better or worse), and assume their tastes have also remained the same. So, when they don't like something, instead of just coming out and saying it, they pin it on this fixed image of who they knew decades ago. That person, and those likes and dislikes don't exist anymore. People need to own their own opinions. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk. *steps off of soapbox*

Absolutely 💯. So sad for the bride. The consultant didn’t do a good job for sure.

Exactly my thoughts…why would anybody over 30 years old counting on parent’s money and approval to buy her wedding dress?

@@mariesmith1616It could be it was a “gift”-but gifts should be freely given with love, not conditions or insults!

Yes, I agree. Non sense that anyone over 30 years old needs her mother’s approval or finance to get her wedding dress.

Or mom to be paying for it

Yes, it’s a gift so either offer it kindly without strings or don’t do it at all! It’s kind of sick, really.

THANK YOU!

Abusive? Lol. Your story is also irrelevant, too long and strange to share in response to a video like this. Another chronic oversharer without sense or tact.

They’re all afraid of mommy-my siblings (male and female) are terrified of ticking off our mom, who is 92. Truth is they’re afraid of getting cut off and out of her will. It’s ridiculous…I’m always the bad guy but I don’t care anymore at 59 and it feels great. Respect for a parent is one thing, being terrified of them is just wrong. Live!

Haaaaaa! I’ll bet! I cried!!! You’re funny!
