300-350 guests ?? You could serve sandwiches and it would still be expensive. Cut back the guest list and have the wedding you want

I never understand the cake battle. You order an extra sheet cake, frosted but undecorated. I catered for 30 years . No one knows if they are getting the showy cake or the sheet cake. Save a few hundred dollars easily.

As a parent myself, I am set to give my kids a certain amount of money and if they want to go over then they have to pay for it themselves.

Yes the Father is frugal to the extreme... but the daughter is lacking in any consideration of other people's money. And she is incredibly rude.

I agree with sticking to the budget, but a borrowed wedding dress is where I draw the line. I would be just as upset.

I can understand whoever is paying should make sure they stick to the budget, although they don't have to micromanage everything. Larry didn't have to pick out the dress he just needs to say this is all you get, anything you go over is on you to pay

1979, wedding dress $175, wedding reception $2000, 42 years later still in love! It’s not about the wedding it’s everything that comes after.

Skip the wedding ! Take all the money and go buy a house !

Why not just give the bridal couple the budget $ in cash and when it’s gone it’s gone. Reality sets in.

One thing that stands out to me is that Larry never cared about what his wife was saying. It's very strange that they are a couple where only he gets to make financial decisions.

Dad needed to give her the money he was willing to spend then say the rest is up to her.

The only thing I 110% agree on with this bride is she should of had her OWN wedding dress! That is the MAIN part of a brides wedding and for the dad to force her to BORROW a friends wedding gown was absolutely uncalled for😢

This is why you save up money so you two can pay for your own wedding.

Larry lost me at the hand me down Wedding dress and grocery store cake.

His parents also paid half, so I think Larry just likes to be in control. Borrowed dress, slab cake, and awful centerpieces... what the heck. He never said he couldn't afford the cost, just that he didn't want to pay it. At age 20, I paid for my own and still had minor issues to work out with parents. Good luck you two.

To everyone commenting on how selfish she is: That’s what her parents created!! I feel sorry for the groom🤦🏻‍♀️

I must admit, Nicole's gown is gorgeous!!!!! If SHE wanted to spend $1700 on a gown, she should have paid for it herself!

When it’s dad paying she has no limit. When it’s her paying ( the wedding cake) she became as frugal as her daddy 😂.

Hilarious Dad..I used to work weddings at a banquet venue that fit up to 2000+ guests. The most expensive weddings were not better than less costly ones ..

With a budget of 65,000 I don’t think he was being frugal in the least

I dont understand why these couples are relying so much on their parents for their wedding. When dream weddings are not affordable, it's time to wake up and make do with what can fit the budget.

She is 27 years old she needs to pay for this wedding as well. After watching 3 of these I have come to the conclusion these are so stage. Lol

Too bad she couldn’t save any money herself so she could buy her own dress. Does she have any money sense? Wow, she’s trouble.

Bride is so entitled and ungrateful. I hope they were just playing up the arguments for the camera otherwise I would tell the groom to run away as fast as he could.

I think the dad should’ve given her $25k for the wedding and let her & the groom do what they want with the money then once they spend it, they spent it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd tell Larry, "If your money means so much to you, keep your money. All of it. Goodbye." And then pay for the wedding that I could afford with a radically shortened guest list.

Larry is a trip, but he's got a point.

I have never seen a Dad get involved in the details like that. Never.

Spoiled and entitled bride. She is old enough and so is the groom to pay for "what SHE wants". I feel if parents want to help, give the kids the money and say "No more" spend it how you want and if you need more, bride and groom pay for it!.

65,000 for a wedding? Super crazy. Take the money and buy a house. It amazes me how much these weddings costs. On the other hand Jewish weddings traditionally give $$$ for gifts. Say average gift is $300.00 per couple that equals $105,000 in gifts. We paid for our own wedding had 125 guests total cost 8,000. 8 piece live band. I rented my dress for $300.00 it was brand new. I was the temple administrator I pulled alot of favors because I refer brides and grooms to these vendors. Used temple hall at n/c. Rented mini trees with twinkle lights at 25.00 per piece We planned everything together. It wS my 2nd marriage and husband's 1st. My inlaws paid for rehearsal dinner in beautiful restaurant. My feeling is weddings are about enjoying your loved ones good food alit of booze and not spending for stupid things that nobody cares about.

Pay for what you can afford, then you don't have to depend on your folks or elope !!

OMFG !!!! That father was a nightmare !!!!! I’d have done everything in my power to pay for the wedding myself just to get him out of the picture.

Shallow, entitled people. We had a lovely wedding and party with our friends for right at $1000.00. Best wedding ever!

I had a beautiful wedding at home. It cost about $1000 (1987) and I wouldn't have done it any other way. We have been married 34 years now!!

Why don't they pay for their own wedding?! I would never ask or allow my parents to pay for mine.

Kids should pay for their own wedding and then they can make all the decisions. I wonder if Larry is being cheap or maybe he really can’t afford what Princess wants.

Love seeing people who have been married for years still laughing and enjoying each other.

Ok she’s definitely over the top on certain things but one thing I’ll give her, I don’t agree with borrowing the wedding dress, every bride should have their own dress.

I’m wondering if this bride has spent her whole life being told no - never getting what she really wanted. On her big day, she wants everything she ever wanted.

"Your centerpiece looks like a salad, Daddy!" 😆 Lol!!

I’ve watched three episodes of this show and this is the one and only bride that I’m 100% on her side!!!! I feel so bad for her and having to deal with her father taking all wedding decisions on by himself and never anything like what she wants. I mean she’s actually pretty responsible about what she wants, I hope by her wedding day this all comes together!

if you want all these nice things, then pay for it yourself!!! Stop expecting other people to pay for what you want. $65,000 budget! That is a lot of money for many people.

This definitely is staged! There is no way a grown adult woman would wear a friend's wedding dress. Just go get married at the courts. This is ridiculously cheap.

If the bride and groom are working. They can pay for their own wedding dress. both wedding dresses she tried on were horrible. Its not a tuxedo.

I had a fairly big cake. Keep in mind, the top tier is frozen for your 1st anniversary celebration. Our guests ate a lot of food. We ran out of hors d'oeuvres, but the main meal was close afterwards. We had ordered a lot of tasty food. In the end we only had the top tier of the wedding cake, & some chicken leftover. I was surprised at how much was actually eaten.

She was absolutely gorgeous in her dress, and I adore how she was jumping up and down excited as they were pronounced married. 🥰

I think the borrowed dress is much more flattering then the one she originally wanted.

The more I watched this, it looked like this was acted out as staged reality with Dad.

The centerpieces would have been great to have the large one on the bride's table, and the smaller ones on the other tables.

Feel like I'm watching Woody Allen control the Wedding Budget.

The honesty in these shows goes out the window when the "actors" can't stop smiling during the "arguing".

The bride gets her unreasonable stubbornness from her father. I understand that she should pay for why ever she wants extra. But the father OFFERED to pay for the wedding and is using that to try to control her. Why does he care? Just give her the the money you are comfortable with and tell her any extras are on her. Everyone is happy that way.

If want something special for your wedding. Get out your piggy bank. Most parents have budgets. It's life. You'll find out more as you grow. Mine was $500 with dress, suit, cake food, flowers and more. It was perfect!

My wedding cost only $115 n we only had 4 guests! That was 1978. What cost the most was $50 to the priest! Oh n we paid it ourselves! 🙂🙏💖

Wow how selfish is this young woman. And she gets a husband

Our daughter and her fiancé were both finishing up their medical residencies a few months before their wedding. We know how hard they had been working on their careers for the last 12 years and we wanted to celebrate that. We gave them a check, it was a substantial amount, and they were grateful for every penny. It was up to them to make it work. We did offer to add to the amount towards the end, but they refused it. They were determined to figure it out. It was an amazing wedding, so magical. We are so proud of them.

Never fight over the wedding Rings. Those are your symbols of ever last Love.

This is the closest to on budget I've seen. Father is a tough negotiator but kept them pretty close to budget and still spent a lot of money! Can't get over what people spend but it's all relative I guess. Wish this couple joy and a new washing machine!

She's marrying a guy exactly like her father.

I couldn’t watch it all, did my head in. She is so sneaky

Her bridal gown matched the mother's of the bride dress. Moral of the story: buy your own dress! 👗😉

What an adorable couple!! Wish them much love, luck and laughter in the future

I have always heard that when planning a budget wedding you pick three things that you want well done. For this bride, it would be dress, venue, and probably cake.

Who cares that it was staged they had fun. They are an adorable 💑 couple..and Larry should have his own sitcom! Mozletof!

So glad we paid $150 and paid an officiant to marry us! Took my kids and they were happy to take pictures, granted it was our 2nd wedding but it was oh so wonderful!!!

I can feel my blood pressure rising watching these two argue over the gown. That's as far as I could watch.

My two daughters paid for their own weddings and we paid for their receptions.

I thought this Larry guy was putting on some kind of prank and then I realized he was “for real” ……so sad…….

Okay, my take SO far... I agree 100% on Dad arguing about the venue, for that many guests, I did the math and that's $60,000!! Even with both sets of parent's splitting, that's still $30,000! Does that INCLUDE FOOD & drinks or JUST the venue?? Now with the wedding dress, he really needs to buy her HER WEDDING DRESS, NOT A HAND ME DOWN! The cake, as long as its hgood quality, I don't see an issue with store bought. I had a cake from Walmart for mine & it was beautiful & delicious

The marriage is doomed.

The money spent on a huge wedding could go to paying off student loans, a new home etc. It is one day. Seriously.

I understand staying on budget, but it's still their wedding. When I got married, mom paid for part of my dress, but she let me pick out what I wanted then put a certain amount towards it. My in-laws wanted to contribute, but it came with all these expectations so we decided to forego their money and pay for everything ourselves.

Girl: "Who's wedding is this?" Father: "Ours" Girl: "No, ours - well, mainly mine". Spoken like a true princess.

Everyone will disagree but I think it's a royal waste of money. 68,000? That's the down-payment for a house!!!! Wasted in one day, insane.

I got married at 25 and never even thought about my parents paying we were both working and took care of it ourselves

the bride does not understand that you can not fit 350 people plus is a space for 150 that is suppose to be for a sit down dinner. Just because she likes it.

But I don't blame her for wanting her ring. I've never seen a woman who got a better set unless it was a BIG make-up gift, if then.

At this point I would have eloped...

Larry may be a budget tyrant but but he sort of has to with his demanding daughter, he was right on the venue: it was too small for the number of guests. If the parents are paying they are also having a very large voice in the final decisions. If I were in her shoes I would be acquiescent on those things that weren't all that important: especially the venue because this is the high ticket item. I would focus on what is most important: my own wedding dress [not designer] and I would pay for it myself [not dad or SO]. I think if she had been more agreeable dad would have loosened the purse strings but instead she make a battle 'this is the hill I die on' about everything thus dad is constantly on the defense. I think these two bring out the worst in each other especially since her dad is paying for the wedding he feels entitled to have the final say on everything. The bride is being unreasonable about her wedding rings. The diamond band she wants is often gift the husband gives the wife on the birth of their first child. The other option she had was to buy 2 plain bands to encircle her engagement ring which would have given it a unique look.

My inlaws gave us a budget of $2500 18 years ago when I got married. (Left him 11 years ago) - when all added up - we got it done with nearly $500 change. So it really only cost us $2k Australian. It was a brilliant day - one thing I will NEVER regret about that relationship. It can be done on a shoestring budget, and you can still have a blast!

Wedding on the water 150 a head×375people =56,250 Girl no👎🏾

I am in the process of planning my wedding. Me and my fiance have paid for 100% of the cost of everything. Getting my parents to pay was never a consideration.

I think the dad is a pain. I understand there’s a budget but he argues with her the whole way. He’s driving me 😜 crazy. Now on the other side, she needs to compromise on some things to. She didn’t need a $1400.00 ring right now. Mercy! P.S. The 🍎 apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

So they were complaining about the dad being budget conscious but when they had to pay for rings and the cake they became very frugal

They paint the bride and the dad in such a negative light. I'm sure the dynamic is much different in real life, right?

David’s my fav wedding planner “Princess is going down the aisle like second hand rose?!” 33:27

Here,s how I solved our budget problems, we paid for everything period. I won,t tolerate such stress from the outside circle bull on that.....🙄

Spending a ridiculous amount of money for a wedding doesn't ensure "til death due us part" 🤦🏾🙄

This was so so awkward watching this episode. I have a headache and need to de-stress after watching this wedding. The Bride was so so unappreciative. She was so so lucky to receive this wedding. Lucky girl. Her Dad was a bit rude. The Bride should of paid more and she would of got her own dress. That jacket was hideous. How nice was her friend to give it to her and let her do alterations.

That 295 dress actually looked so cute on her, I think dad had a good eye with that one! it draws more attention to her beauty rather then the dress itself, I like the other dresses too though!!

I WOULD NEVER GET MARRIED UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS. Just live together!!

This is the wierdest wedding planning I have ever seen! It can't be real!

I would never ever accept a second hand wedding dress

The dad is hideously cheap…. I’d elope at this point 😁

Who in the hell needs 300-350 people at their wedding? Are they doing it to get more gifts? Ridiculous.

This is where the parents if willing to contribute to the wedding hand the bride and groom whatever amount that is and let the bride and groom spend it, if they run out of money, oh well! Force them to work it on a budget, give them X amount and that's it

Poor David I worked with wedding planners and their clients They earn every penny with what they have to put up with

You are ' Blessed ' to have your Parents alive ! Have a Simple Wedding. Feed the Hungry & Enjoy your ' New Life ' !!!!

Holy Crap....we came in under 10k at our wedding, it was beautiful

My fiancé and I are having an extravagant wedding and paying for it 100% for ourselves. I can’t believe people would expect parents to pay for a wedding. A gift is nice but this is ridiculous.
