On the contrary, most beautiful dresses are not strapless. Strapless dresses are a con by manufacturers, cheap to make because they are one-size-fits all thanks to the corset back, easier to alter and use less fabric.

Skipper's dress is gorgeous.

Laura looked beautiful, very strong character, takes after her grandma. her teary eyed cousins are darling, they love her! Skipper chose such a pretty dress - when talking about her fiancé, she glowed, and saying, 'he didn't stand a chance"- so cute! her parents are two of the sweetest, her dad cried, her mom is an angel. She is a very lucky young woman. Congratulations!

Children do get to be seen and heard!!!!!!!!

While watching this show for so many years I’ve realized two things that are very useful that I’m wedding dress shopping myself now: 1. I’m going just with my mom. My mom is the best advisor and can provide constructive feedback 2. I’m not trying on dresses over my budget. $100-200 fine- but thousands? Hell no

@samanthac.349

2 ай бұрын

I’m totally supportive of #1 as long as you are comfortable with your mom. It’s good to know you trust each like that. The second thing… it’s hard to find a nice bridal gown for less than $200. I’m not going to lie to you. Although, I eloped and wore a white cotton cocktail dress with blue floral embroidery that I happened to buy years earlier at a retail store. I think I spent $45 on it, so who am I to talk?… But, it doesn’t really resemble a wedding dress. I have also helped a friend on a super tight budget (example: she had a potluck reception bc she couldn’t afford a caterer) look for a wedding gown only at thrift stores, and the one she ultimately chose was the “winner” because it was the only one that fit her after searching 4 stores. Even she said there was too much beading for her style. And, some websites like Temu are total ripoffs. I’m saying this so you’ll have the idea in your head now that you might want to start putting aside some money.

Why do they let them pick a dress?. Tell them to sit down, the bride will be out shortly. Better yet, leave them to home.

Omg. It's what the BRIDE'S wants. When will people learn.

"I'm kinda old fashioned..." Alright so YOU don't wear it. Let her wear what she likes.

Their “day is not gone”! It’s just changed. Their focus shouldn’t be on what the bride is wearing. Their focus should be on how they can help and support their grand daughter. It’s our privilege as old and life experienced women, to find ways to add our strength to our offspring. We have the confidence to stand up for the young ones. And be their buffer from the criticisms and challenges they will face.

"children should be seen, not heard" clearly her mom didn't tell her that enough

Future MIL looked formidable

If my grandmother and MIL had wanted to come along when I went wedding gown shopping that would have been fine but honestly I wouldn't have cared what they thought. I respect my elders because I'm also from the South but when it comes to my wedding gown it's going to be my choice. Not what my granny would have wanted.

SKipper's dress was perfect for her. Lovely.

Why bring people that absolutely have a totally different vision from you?

That's her future MIL??

While I absolutely agree that the first dress with sleeves was not her dress, I have to say that I found it gorgeous. Now if only it came in black and dark purple. ❤

@callystu6893

Agreed!! I absolutely love that dress, and in a dark color…. STUNNING!

The older ladies with the first bride should have taken a moment to reflect on their own weddings and whether or not their own dresses were what they liked or what their elders liked. Behavior like that can lead to elopements.

Both the old people were unbearable

My grandmother is nowhere like this, but she does sometimes say what she thinks no matter what, so I opted to not go shopping with her. She will be at a fitting though (after the dress has been bought)

Future Mum-in-Law should leave the damn Bears alone🐻😅

Glad the MIL came around. She was obnoxious! Someone forgot to tell her she wasn't the bride. 😅😅

Notice how she describes her fiancé. She’s essentially saying, ‘We don’t have many common interests, but we don’t dislike each other at least.’

There’s one thing about respecting your elders, but there’s also another thing standing up for yourself and being bald. Your grandmother is from the old school and if she really loves you, she would want what’s best for you not for her. My daughter is getting married next year and I am going to be with her to pick out her wedding dress and I want her to pick out what she wants and not what I want. That’s really what’s all aboutto be looking for your love and your support not your negativity

Respecting one’s elders is one thing, but that doesn’t mean they run your life. Respect is often confused with obedience. Obedience is for dogs and toddlers.

@Kayenne54

Respecting someone's input is fine, following their advice is more problematical. It's not as if Young Lady is asking "Should I go live with him first, see if he measures up?" which would cause pearl clutching in earnest. Though, in my humble opinion, that is what women should do, provided they protect their own interests whilst doing so. Can't really know someone until you live with them, and it works both ways too.

If you have that old style combo, leave them home!!!

I love seeing people in love

Vintage is a better word-very like Princess Grace’s, check out the similarity. It’s from a time when more skin was covered, still true of some royal or vintage brides. Strapless is or was trendy, but she was a very young bride and each bride gets to decide on style, not grandma, for sure.

I hate hypocrites. Mother-in-law Mary is showing her neck!!!!!!!!!!

Why do these in laws and grandparents think they should have a say in her dress??? It’s not their wedding - it’s the brides! I would never interfere in my any of my daughter’s choices!! If you can’t say anything nice keep your mouth shut!!!xx

Grandma said “treat everyone the way you want to be treated” then she gave absolutely no respect for the bride’s first choice!

I really enjoyed that! Some saves are out of this world!!

WHY, WHY, WHY would you bring ur future MIL dress shoping. This is a mother and daughter outing.

When i went shopping for my wedding dress,both my Mum and my grandmother let me choose what ever dress i liked and felt comfortable in.

Leave grandmothers at home and as for opinionated mother-in-laws who are pushing their views on what the bride should wear, don't get me started.

The designer of said item is now permanently branded. If it were my design, I'd be very unhappy with such a public slanging. (Let's face it, there has to be a dress for every age group and style preference, if they want sales). Someone more mature and less likely to want so much on show, would prefer a style like this. Because it doesn't suit someone, doesn't mean it's a terrible style. (Usually lol).

Skipper's dress was so beautiful ❤.

When the mother-in-law said, "IF it was my choice..." That was it, it's not.

Where is her mother?

Love MIL clutching her pearls

Surprised they even had that old fashioned dress in the store!!!!

Mother in Law doesn't realise the " BEAR SKIN cover " will be Off later. Lol. Just saying

"Children should be seen and not heard"? Grandma needs to find a quiet place to sit alone and knit and keep her antiquated/mean-spirited opinions to herself! And if she can't find something nice to say, especially when she sees the joy on her beloved granddaughters face, she needs to go home....

The last bride and groom are Clancy and Skipper. 😄

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think anyone should be expressing their opinions. It's the BRIDE'S choice. I'll admit that I'm prehistoric myself, but when I went dress shopping it was to see ONE gown that I chose from a picture in a brides' magazine and I brought my mother with me. To be honest, I only brought her because she knew the NYC subway system and I didn't. I loved the gown before I tried it on...and fell even more in love once I had it on. 58 years later, I still haven't changed my mind.

When someone gets married it her day no body's else they had their day so shut up

#3 dress is beautiful

Sorry grandma.....this is the bride's day. NOT YOURS.

Skipper's dress was perfect for a Southern church wedding, IMHO.

I'm surprised that Monte is making fun of a dress that they are actually carrying in the store. If it's so bad, why is it in their stock?

I love Monty.❤

If it wasn't for the neckline, dress number 2 and 3 look exactly alike. Dress number 2 looked much better on.

Grandma it's not your wedding!

That groom looks noticeably older than the bride. The elderly mother in law bears out that conclusion.
