I went myself, chose my dress, and had a champagne toast with the staff. It was wonderful!

Good choice. I went by myself back in 1971. Never regretted my choice of dress, just my choice of husband.

Good idea

I would go with only my oldest brother since he would always support me.

​@@marylynne9104😂😂😂

Absolutely, and much cheaper!

They have an evening wear section so while it was a shame that she didn't look there the bottom line is that her family would not have liked anything she chose opting for the traditional look. I think she needs to rethink along with her husband to be how they want their wedding to look although I strongly suspect that the groom will be more on board with the traditional wedding style.

@@4legs4paws55 thanks for the update and clarification. What a phony.

@@gracielou1407 honestly you see that with a lot of participants of the show - I google a lot of them because I am a noisy bi*** and most of them don’t end up wearing the Kleinfeld one but something different - it’s highly scripted - and the storylines are not necessary true. It’s no coincidence that a lot of reality stars from housewives 90day fiancé etc. once started with an appearance on SYTTD

@@4legs4paws55omg really! I always thought this show was real!

Exactly that’s my point.

TBF, they offer colors.

I agree... that was dumbfounded. You want a colorful dress, go to a Prom shop!!

Exactly and that was what I did not understand.

Because then she wouldn't be on the show.

John Waters Pink Flamingos movie!

The bride will fall in line because that is what she is expected to do.

In typical Indian fashion

In Indian culture... traditional attire for the various ceremonies is non-negotiable even though they live in America. This bride knew that but just wanted something different. She also wasn't paying for the dress (more than likely) so her chances of actually picking the dress she loved wasn't gonna happen. Even if she mustered enough courage to say yes to the 1st one it would be a lot of tension and drama. No one need in that mess especially on your wedding day

I like the first dress and she should have gotten that one.

@@rachelmm05 I totally get what you are saying. But a lot of brides to be, bring people with them, that they shouldn't

​@@rachelmm05- well it should be negotiable. When in Rome, do as Rome does...or in this case, America. It just shows they value nothing about America and its culture yet they choose to live there! Why???

*recipe

Just because it's like that on this show, doesn't mean that all families are like this. Lol.

​@AS-yz2iz This is an Indian family where the majority please their families and not for themselves

Her wedding She was doing traditional for the ceremony y could they not meet her hf way and say yes to HER HAPPINESS FOR HER WEDDING

@lysem4392 - Exactly! Her family will probably go as far as disowning her if she goes any other way but the Indian way. Then they've the nerve to call others racist when actually, they're the ones being racist! If the bride wants to wear something different, then she should be allowed to - she's a grown woman who can make her own decisions now.

I disagree to an extent. while yes traditions are important so is the BRIDE she is still a person and it is HER day and HER choice she has feelings and visions of what SHE and her husband want. Traditions are important but so is she.

@@catherinesmalley8587I agree they were very racist how they talked about that first dress calling it two separate dresses from two SEPARATE Hispanic cultures

And Asian households too. No wonder our self esteems are f*** 😢😏

This show WANTS the drama, they tell the bride to bring the most opinionated members of her family

@@kristinecollier9155 Makes me glad I avoided all that nonsense by sewing my own wedding gown.

It's an Indian wedding. That means it is about the family. Maybe in our Western traditions it is only about the couple. You don't seem to understand. Besides, she is not paying for the dresses. If she wants everything she wants, then she'll have to forgot the Indian wedding and pay for everything herself. Entitlement is not a good look on her culture.

@@catladyfromky4142 who will wearing the dress??!! The bride or the family???!!! I do really need to know 😬... At least as a family you should give a positive feed back & make comfortable for the bride.

⁠@@catladyfromky4142But who wears the dress? The other women of the family are not as skinny to be able to wear the dress and they are the ones not getting married.

@@4legs4paws55 true 😅🤣

@FAKOKTA as a suport system you can see how happy your friend right?! To see my friend or family smile is more than enough for me. Everyone has different taste 😉

That first dress was …. Just didn’t feel like it!

I love it “the more bling, the more kaching” LOLOLOLOLOL

I liked the 2nd wedding gown

Ugh, her family are a pain the back end

​@@jeswainstonIt was miles ahead of the first one, but there wasn't a single dress in that shop that her family would have approved of. Not a single one.

It always makes me cringe, it looks like a pastel moustache right up there under her nose.

This is from the late 2000s. Quite old

absolutely and at that price point she could get some top designers to make her fantastic gown!

She wants a western style dress in a colour.

I think that’s a lovely sentiment in the western culture. In Indian culture everyone except the bride probably gets a say. I pity the woman

@@babuyadav2336That is sad because it should have nothing to do with culture.

@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj What do you mean, it shouldn't have anything to do with culture? Cultures don't matter? So if we dropped you in Iran, your life would be the same? Culture DOES matter. And she wants a half Indian wedding. But she doesn't want to pay for it. That means her family will be involved in some of the decision making. If she wanted a totally Western wedding, she should have to pay for it. And maybe no get the large wedding she wants. But no. She'll have to compromise in her vision. If she had gone to another type of store that specializes in evening dresses, there would not be this big of an issue. But she is at a bridal store. Her choice. And it isn't working very well. That isn't the family's fault.

@@catladyfromky4142Culture is a Cult and it’s controlling and sexist and makes the woman feel lost and sad, please cancel the cultures it’s not needed after moving to America, a lot of the families that focus on that end up killing the woman of the family for not following strict rules. Culture should not be involved.

@@catladyfromky4142Chill dude! What I meant was it should have nothing to do with culture when you want to pick what you like. Like my family had suggestions and all but in the end, the choice is mine when it comes to just a wedding dress. That was what I meant about picking a dress that I like having nothing to do with culture. Geez! No need for you to write a whole essay about it.

She's not looking for an Indian dress for the reception.

@@Jerseygal30It seemed like she was. First of all, she did not want a white dress. If she wanted a colored gown then she should have gone elsewhere.

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Rewatch it. She wanted a colored gown for the reception because white is worn at funerals in the Indian tradition. She already had the Indian dress in red for the ceremony. I'm sure she ended up going to an evening gown store, but why not check out a bridal store first especially one the size of Kleinfelds.

@@Jerseygal30That is the same in my culture but we wear 3-4 dresses.

She is asking for a dress in color. With lots of beading. For $4000 or less. I know that Kleinfeld has lots of dresses, but they are all white! How can you possibly blame the consultant? She's not a miracle worker. She can't conjure a dress. The fact is that she went to the wrong kind of store. The end.

Thank you! Exactly what I've been thinking.

Me too, barely noticing the dress! Sorry, but yikes.

What is your issue? You must really hate yourself to criticize others you don’t even know. And furthermore, both things you mention can be as a result of medical conditions or personal preference. Focus on your own deficits. I’m sure there are many to choose from!

@@alisonfraser8231 Wow. You're pleasant, aren't you? The OP stated her opinion very kindly and diplomatically. You really should deal with your anger issues. I'm sure you've never given anyone constructive criticism... Oh, wait! You just tore someone apart for an opinion civilly stated! My bad. I thought you were perfect. Silly me.

The lips I can deal with personally. What I can't stand is she has obviously worn heavy earrings over many years and it's caused the bottoms of her ears to stretch and those earrings she's wearing just keep bringing my attention to it 😅

The family is more concerned about impressing the wedding guests than pleasing the bride.

Sadly, a lot of Indian families are very enmeshed and have a lot to say.

@@OrioleBeagle exactly.

Because that’s how most Indian weddings are…😢😢

Neither of those dresses looked good. For the price she is paying, she would have done better going to an evening gown shop. Would you feel comfortable deciding from a whopping 2 dresses? I wouldn't. She needs to go somewhere else. I guarantee she and her family aren't that far in what they want.

She went to the right store because she found a dress she loved but her family isn't allowing her to go against tradition so she didn't buy it. No matter where she would've gone her family wouldn't have liked any dress because it's not a traditional dress.

​​@@NH-tb2smNo, there are many shops she could have gone to where she would have found a dress her family would have loved. They were all Indian wedding shops, though. It's the fact Kleinfeld doesn't carry Indian wedding gowns is what stuck in their craw.

She might have been able to have the dress she liked made in her chosen colour. She made it plain the dress could not be white, because white is the colour of mourning and widowhiod in the Indian tradition. She would have been better off having a seamstress making the gown for her to her specifications.

@@NH-tb2sm She liked but she really didn’t love it she said. With more options in dress in colors, she and her family may be able to find what they’re looking for. Also, her budget was not big for all the bling they wanted at Kleinfield.

@@mariesmith1616 she said she loved it. It's sad how her family is being so difficult just because she doesn't want to wear a traditional Indian dress. They all they kept talking about how she's the first one not to wear a traditional dress and how important it is to wear a traditional dress. It's not like she wants to show up nude!

Both of the dresses were terrible. And, for her to be spending $4000, she should have more than 2 dresses to choose from. It is not the family's fault she chose to go to a bridal salon to get a fancy evening dress with bling.

This is a very old video.

Your personality makes you look like clown 🤡 but go off sis.

Your feelings are understandable, It's always difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation when my wife of 12 years left me, i couldn't just let her go. I did all I could to get her back, I had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back.

Wow, how did you get a spiritual adviser, and how do i reach him/her?

Her name is MONICA ERLENE MORA, and she is a great spiritual adviser as well as a caster and healer.

Thank you for this valuable information, I just looked her up online. impressive.

With that figure her family was absolutely right, she should be hiding it behind the fabric and bling of their lenga. Period.

In their culture white is the colour of mourning, most Indian brides don't wear white. They're typically very colourful, not always, more often than not you'd see a bright Indian bride as opposed to natural or white.

India is not a small country or even having one ethnicity. There’s 29 different states with so many more variations among people within them. If one culture find wearing white acceptable, some might not. It’s about diversity.

@@raenfairy Yes, national Indian wedding dresses are very colorful, everyone knows this. I was referring to brides who choose a dress of European culture as their second dress, or their only outfit. There are such brides and even in this show they were. And none of them obsessed with white

@@babuyadav2336 That's right. Thanks for the addition. India has a large and diverse culture. In addition, now a lot of things in India are changing very rapidly, many people are expanding their outlook on life. And I would not judge all Indians by one family, which, having moved to America, seems to have preserved in their views so much that they do not allow the bride to choose a second wedding dress herself

Not if she isn't paying for it. The one with the money gets a say, no matter what you think. Even if it is to allow her to get what she wants. And those dresses were terrible. She should go to a different kind of store to get more of a selection. You think that her and her family's ideas are so different. But they are not. They both want bling and color for $4000. It is her mistake that she chose to go to Kleinfeld.

@@catladyfromky4142I guess you have not watched enough of these. There are many cases where many who don’t pay still have a lot of power in what is chosen depending on who it is.

Really? You have absolutely no idea what they did afterwards so why even mention it?

Uhhhh what? She literally said she loved the first dress. Her family where the problem, not the dress.

@@raenfairy she loved .... But family didn't..... And in India marriages are a big family event. I guess you missed that part. Family inclusion and approval is important for us , very imp. That's why the bride CHOSE to not buy a dress.And anyways, most Indians won't love that hideous dress .... Can't blame the family.

​@@LanguageExpert-hg8do Ig but shes still obviously gonna be upset, its her day but you cant please everyone, everyone has different opinions. Her family obviously doesnt want her to wear a dress, they want the traditional one. Therefore she would probs have to just wear what they want, she has to give up her own happiness for her family, so you kinda can blame them but at the end of the day you can't also because its a culture thing she can't escape yk.

The consultant’s Job Is only to work with the bride and not agree with the family, the family is not the bride and they’re only guest in the bride’s house, the consultant was right, the bride is only right the family isn’t important

That is just it. She didn't love either one. So maybe they are right in saying "hey, why don't we stop here and go somewhere else with more of a selection?"

Yet most of the comments on this thread are being very dismissive of her culture. TBH, I don't recall hearing anything they said that was offensive regarding western culture - can you be more explicit?
