The wide hips comment, really? I’m with the consultant. I don’t see it. The dress looks so flattering on her. She literally looks like a princess.
It seemed like a rather mean thing to say, especially when it wasn't at all true.
she looked fabulous I thought.
She looked amazing! Even if she had wide hips who cares? My kid has a tiny waist and bigger bottom and hips. That’s just her body type. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly. Her hips are miles away, lady. No one thinks those are her hips. 🤦🏻♀️
She’s gorgeous! If she has wide hips then i must be a hippo!
She looks wonderful in this dress, her hips are perfect!!
I met my husband on a Saturday, he proposed the next Thursday, we married 3 months later and married for 18 years.
I’d like to think you touched each other at some point prior to the wedding though! congratulations though, that’s really lovely! When you know, you know, right? ❤
You got lucky..enjoy your life together
@@sooticablue1664 we did. I can’t explain it we were on the same page, both at a moment that we committed to make work. And I was living in Portugal and he was living in Belgium. We made a promise when we realised it was something special, that we would do all to make it work. I moved to Belgium, later that year, our parents, family also stood with us and every time we have a rougher period, we try to go back to that promise, that feeling and till now, it’s working
I am not shocked as once you know you know.
Pretty Bride
I love that she stuck to her guns and got the dress that she loved. And her consultant was amazing in encouraging her to listen to her own feelings and not everyone else's opinion.
I love that the second anything was said about her body shape, the consultant immediately said “no no no” to shut em up😅
I'm loving this consultant! She is right on point with how she speaks up and classy with how she expresses herself defending the bride.
She is Kleinfeld's consultant for religious/modest brides. While is is Jewish, she also works with Muslim and Christian brides who want more modest dresses. They actually bring in a lot of their modest dresses from designers in Utah, where modest dresses are more is demand because of the high number of LDS brides who require, at minimum, covered shoulders. Many of them want long sleeves or inserts for the ceremony itself (which requires long sleeves) and they have shorter sleeves for the reception/ring ceremony. HOwever, there are a handful of Jewish designers there in NYC, too. They just don't necessary sell to Kleinfeld.
We all need ...
This consultant is fantastic! She was able to support the bride and reinforce that the bride's choice is what matters.
I've not seen this consultant before. I loved how she stood up for the bride and had that pep talk when they were alone, reminding her this is Her dress and not to pick to please her entourage.
I had my first date with my Joe on September 3…he proposed on October 15, we were married the following October, for 40 years. He passed away in 2022…I miss him every day.
I’m so sorry to hear he passed. I’m sure Joe was a wonderful man
Sorry for your loss and it is great you both found each other right away. I am sure he will be forever in your heart.
@Ziggimomspal68
So sorry for your loss. That was recent and I'm sure you still hurt.
You were so blessed to have 40 years...
I pray that you will see him again in Heaven…..❤️💫❤️
Truly a love story for this time of our crazy world. Condolences for your loss . blessings
Wait! The person who is actually dressed like a five year old's version of a 'cake topper', tells the bride SHE looks like a cake topper?
I reckon! Trying to upstage the bride!
Self reflection
nothing wrong with cake toppers and grandma's curtains anyway
Agree, wtf is she wearing lol
Having a consultant who understands the Orthodox community was the key to success here!
i feel like she’s the henuinely happiest looking bride i’ve seen on this show. her spirit radiates honesty.
That’s because she’s only known the guy 6 weeks! 😂
@@sooticablue1664exactly. Ain’t no time for the first fight on that timeline. 😂
@@kiat5912 😂😂😂 exactly!
@@sooticablue1664 lmao 💀 it do be like that in the first couple months lol
Who hasn't been that way the first time they fall in love in the initial months? It's an amazing feeling! She is glowing, you're right.
Is Rochel Leah a Kleinfeld consultant? I love that there's a consultant who understands and lives the needs of religious brides. All the Kleinfeld consultants are excellent but i love that there's no shock and wide eyes at the 5 week timeline and modesty requirements because this is so normal in the Orthodox community. Mazal tov!
I think the consultant she is Jewish as well.
with a name like that, id assume so 😅
I really like they didn't make fun of her being modest. When I got married they kept saying I need to get over it because all wedding dresses show things. I found a place that did respect what I believed in. when my sister got married we had a really bad time. They was suppose to put sleeves on her dress and only put straps on it . The next day was her wedding so her and I made some kind of cap sleeve for it she felt indecent all day. We have never even worn a tank top before and it felt odd to her. Why people can't respect each other I will never understand. There should be wedding dresses for all beliefs. No one should be made to feel strange.
@@christyhull4214 oh thats horrible!
im so sorry that happened to your sister. i don't wear tank tops either, and i would feel similar
This is one of the reasons why I've decided to start a custom clothing business. My religion also has very clear modesty guidelines. Unfortunately, those without such standards talk down and belittle our needs. I ended up designing and making my best friend a custom wedding dress because of these issues. I'll most likely make my sister's and daughter's too.
You never tell another woman in front of other people to that they have wide hips it’s just about the right wording and the right time
always blame the dress. So say the dress makes you look wide. It makes it the fault of the dress, not the wearer
that girl with the bow wanted that to be her so bad. i literally thought she was the bride at the start
Agree, wearing all white and so over the top but really she's dressed like a toddler.
I really respect this bride for admiring and following her religion! She looks absolutely stunning! Wishing her a happy marriage!
Loved when the consultant said "its not time to be a people pleaser"
This is the very first time I heard a consultant on this show tell a bride that under no uncertain terms her opinion is most important! 🎉
Randy was on "Team Bride".
@@beckypetersen2680 I’ve never heard him talk to brides like this woman did. He’s way too diplomatic, and waits too long to say something.
I met my husband in an AOL chat room when I was looking for good conversation. The conversation was like watching grass grow and I was about to log off when he asked, “Why aren’t you speaking?l
“I said because no one has spoken to me.” He was in another country. We spoke every night for 3 weeks when I realized I needed to end our friendship. I wasn’t going to move and I would never ask him to move. He wouldn’t have it! We met in less than 3 months and h survived my family. I knew when he stepped off the plane he was going to marry me, but said nothing.
On the second visit he proposed when we were standing in a waterfall! Then, he returned home. He was back 1 month later and we saw an immigration lawyer who said we needed to wait 30 days before marrying. We have been married well over 20 years and have 5 kids and 2 grandchildren with many more grandchildren to come! We never want to be apart! We are woven together like the triple standard cord with Jesus Christ!
Did you move or did he move? I am guessing he moved as you were not willing to. The same thing happened with my cousin but her husband moved to be with her. She got lucky as she was not willing to move to his country.
Respect…for this young woman, her traditions & her faithfulness to them. God bless her & her groom.
Plus she is absolutely gorgeous inside and out
@@vickykulig5080 isn’t she? A stunner for sure.
semi-arranged marriages that often lead to DV.
@@MsJubjubbird Only if the man has been raised to see doing that to a woman as somehow being acceptable.
@@JBUHJBUH these are conservative cultures where women are often taught they are subservient to men and vice versa.
Such joy and excitement for the bride! I also loved what the consultant said about it being "respectful and appropriate to turn toward the decision of the bride".
What is it with the mothers who feel the need to look at their smiling daughters and tell them the dress they like makes their hips look wide or big?
It was very rude of her mom and sister to put her down. It's a plain, bigger dress but she loves it. She has a beautiful face and figure so let her wear what she wants. Remember ladies take ur time to get to know someone.
I agree with@gardenplots - so rude and hurtful the comment about the big hips by her mum and sister, those closest to you should make comments that:" BIGYOUUP" not put you down in my view, my mum and one of my sisters used to do this to me regularly, its bitchy, supercritical and spiteful in my view and can be very harmful emotionally for the recipient. KHRISTY, HERTFORDSHIRE, UK
We're told to be ashamed of our bodies, especially if certain parts are larger or smaller than expected.
So glad to see a wholesome and happy bride with a strong morale compass. Beautiful dress choice and May you enjoy many years of wedded bliss. Shalom to the happy couple.
I have been watching and loving SYTTD "religiously" for almost 11 years and finally a bride and her entourage from my world! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Exactly my feelings😊
Same! It’s so nice to see for once.
Me too
Her face shined when she was wearing the first one. That is what people helping the bride should be looking at.
All strapless dresses should have options to look like this!
Most do
Does this mean that she will indeed be wearing the shirt underneath her dress? Sorry but I'm a bit confused, I'm not Jewish so I don't know the orthodox traditions... Thanks!
@@terimiddleton736No, it sounds like they're adding the sparkly lace to mimic where the shirt sits. I think she said she just doesn't want to be "seen" before the wedding, probably by anyone but the groom and her family.
Thanks for clearing that up. Wish the shirt had some color..it was hard to see the dress
@@lisamelroy2855not just before the wedding. Modesty has a lot of rules and social pressures in Orthodox Judaism
The smile she had with the first dress was so genuine and beautiful on her.
Im glad her sis came around in the end..it was the perfect dress for this beautiful happy young woman
How beautiful this woman's soul shines through! May she have many years of a happy marriage.
I knew the day that I met my husband that I was going to marry him, and he said the same. We had ten wonderful years together before he died. Until we meet again ❤
I really like that they had a consultant so respective of the bride's beliefs and they were careful not to shoot any immodest shots. I know there are a lot of women concerned with modesty whether it is religious or not, though you could hardly tell from most of the gowns they show on the show.
The original Cinderella's dress was wide like that. No one told HER her hips looked wide. It's the shape of the dress. You KNOW HER hips aren't that wide. Use your imagination and celebrate the bride's decision. It's HER DAY!
Met my husband in November. We lived in the same place (separate apts). Spent all our time together. Took an apartment together by March. Married 1 1/2 years later. Together 42 years.
Wide hips should be considered a compliment. We create lives through them.
Met my hubs in Aug ‘97….started dating Mar ‘98…engaged April ‘98….married Oct ‘98.
It does work…25yrs!!!
This was the best consultant ever! She should be in every episode!!
Kallah, not kale. It means bride in Hebrew, not fiancé in Yiddish, to be precise
I met my second husband in May and got married on his birthday August 29th. We were married for almost 19 years
This bride is absolutely glowing in her wedding dress! She's beautiful!! All the best to her and her fiance!!!! ❤
1 of the best episodes, 1 of the most beautiful brides.
Those ladies, especially the bride, have beautiful hair! I wish the happy couple a long and joy-filled marriage.
Great dress...beautiful bride...awesome consultant...
Thank Goodness for a wise consultant and her fairy matchmaker.
Melanie is a lovely girl.
It’s the BRIDES DAY; meaning it’s her dress! The first dress looks beautiful on her, like a princess 👑 😊❤
I loved this consultant. Wish she was featured more.
I saw this one couple that knew right away they were the one for each other after a few hours. They are happily married for over 25 years now. I guess once you know you just do.
Yes! My husband and I were like that...I knew on our first date I would marry him. He felt the same way. We got married almost a year to the day later, and it's been 23 years! ♡
@@deedranicolehooksYay and good for you that you found your man so early. Time of dating does not dictate if you will be happy or not. Congratulations and hope you are happy for a lifetime.
Yes and no. IF you give it time and it works out then great. But in the honeymoon period hormones mean we often brush things aside, or people can put on an act for a little while until they get what they want. Give people time and the bad ones will eventually do bad things. I notice they didn't mention her age but she is probably quite young and this may be semi arranged. DV can be quite common in these cultures
@@MsJubjubbird Then that depends on you & whether you know how to think rationally & look for the red flags even through the hormones. For some people that only comes with age, but not everyone.
@@JBUHJBUH red flags can be well hidden in the short term. She is young and inexperienced too. Everyone says they know how to think rationally until they don't
Rochel Leah is such a wise, compassionate consultant! ❤
I loved the first dress on her she looked stunning in the first dress it suits her
Admittedly I got excited from the thumbnail because I thought the top was part of the dress and I loved how it looked lol
Kallah doesn't mean 'engaged woman.'It means 'bride.' 😊
I've noticed they spelt it like the vegetable.
@@footyfan101ful That too. Lol
What a beautiful young lady! I'm happy she got her dream dress and wish her a lifetime of joy
My mom and dad got married after 6 weeks of dating and they were happily together for 50 years. If you know they are the one, then they are the one.
Holy cow the lady in white and the bow was NOT the bride, damn 😂 can’t imagine what she’ll wear to the actual wedding
Mom and sister are so rude.
I thought so, but they did come around in the end.
That was good to see
This group looked so fun!!! Blessings to the couple and a lifetime of happiness.
This bride radiates joy. Her dress is lovely. For reference, my husband and I met in April 2002, were engaged in October 2002, married in January 2003, and are still going strong.
Beautiful dress, beautiful bride, and such a fun group of women...
I loved seeing how happy the bride is.
Klienfeld has thousands of dresses you mean to tell me they don’t have modest dresses for brides with religious restrictions.
Not many options with the wedding happening so quick
@alisalaska1786 Plus, it's a small percentage that want complete cover/lingerie sleeves. I had them, but my grandmother made mine. I still love it! ❤️
They just have the option to add the lace. This is normal to the community to have the option for alterations but not necessarily be able to try it on. It’s the same with regular clothes on NY and NJ. The community knows which non-orthodox shops carry things that come in the lengths they want but they don’t expect it to be off-the-rack. Of course they also have the option of orthodox shops but they tend to be more old-fashioned in their fabric choices (think 70s and 80s). Which is the preference for many but the fashion-forward people not so much.
What a sweet woman. Hope it was perfect ❤
She is so beautiful, the gown radiates joy and classic beauty.
Also I love the matchmaker's outfit, but I thought she was the bride to be
Not dressed the way she was. I'm a little taken back that a matchmaker would be showing so much skin. They are Orthodox and modesty is paramount.
I might be off base here, but the matchmaker doesn’t necessarily need to be orthodox herself… she could be conservative or relaxed/reformed Jewish and still be a matchmaker. I watched several seasons of the Jewish Matchmaker and they were matching all kinds from all different backgrounds accordingly.
@@DeathByBlonde1 you might be right but I cannot imagine that the orthodox would use a reform matchmaker. Look at everyone else there. She didn't fit in although she spoke like she knew. Just not what you would expect.
@ deathbyblond. The matchmaker is orthodox but bending the rules. In the orthodox world we would say she is more modern. Her standards of modesty would be considered not ok by most orthodox people, however, like ALL cultures we have a continuum of people. Some are more conservative than others and some are more stringent than others. In fact, this is exactly what the matchmaking would accomplish - weeding out where you are on that continuum so that by the time you meet you have someone who is in a similar place
The dress was so gorgeous 😍
The family dance is so cute
You know what I love BEST about this video? The modesty of these women. Each one dressed respectfully, even the friend with the go-go boots looked modest but fashionable. One does not have to be slutty to be beautiful.We need more of this in our society. I bet the bride looked spectacularly stunning on her wedding day!
The go go boots modest? No way with a mini skirt like that. Don’t be blind.
Awww this is so wholesome, I love it! Congratulations to this happy bride and her friendly/supportive entourage!
Really cute. And love the Brides excitement. And that her group understood that she loved it!
Great consultant. Just great. Would love to see more of her.
I love the consultant!!!
Who’s the girl dressed all in white with the big bow? She’s acting like it’s all about her. And she’s dressed like Blair Waldorf
Her dress (the first)is absolutely beautiful. I love modest wedding dresses. I'm not judging anyone who doesn't. I just really love modest wedding dresses.
May God bless you. In your new chapter. Stay blessed ❤
It s funny how that first friend said the bride looks like a cake topper... really? )) she herself looks like a cake topper and it s not even her wedding ))
Excellent video thanks for sharing ....the Bride is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL !! May God Bless and Keep you and yours Always ❤
this is my favourite say yes to the dress
What hips?! That's just a princess dress. That's how the skirts look. I agree with the consultant. I don't see it at all.
I see a snatched waist!! Also wish they added images after the alterations (with the lace sleeves).
For anyone interested I don’t think the wedding happened. They got engaged in November 2021 but I can’t find anything about the marriage plus she’s still Melanie Solomon on Insta with no public reference to him
Maybe the whole thing was too hasty, too bad about the lovely dress
Maybe she just chose not to publicize it? Not everyone posts their wedding and every aspect of their life to the world.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj She is orthodox. She would have taken his name in marriage had they wed.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj totally possible but she has her full name, city, occupation, face and engagement all on social media so I didn’t think it was a wild guess. Plus the match maker has their engagement posted but no wedding which is very normal to include a post to promote the business and congratulate the couple. There are also no marriage licenses or birth announcements in their city relating to them, but who know really, that’s why I just shared my opinion and what I found, it’s not definitive
@@MultiMel0Maybe you are right or maybe they are not married.
i met my husband one night then had one date and rang my dad and told him i had met the man who i would marry,we have now been married 23 years andstill very happy.
My husband and I met in early December, had our first date December 17th, were engaged December 24th and married February 14th. We were married for 32 years before he passed away.
Is this Kleinfeld? She does look very pretty in the dress she chose.
I'm so glad to see all religions accommodated at Kleinfeld's, I truly want peace and acceptance between all peoples.
I don’t think her family was trying to be rude
Just trying to help and they put things sort of tacky
That’s all
No one’s perfect
Glad the bride went with what she liked !!!!
That was so sweet and she looked beautiful.
She looked beautiful!! Her friend recording looked ready to throw hands at the wide hips comment lol glad she found a ride or die.
I wish we could see more of the detail they spoke about on the dress. I just saw white. But what a stunning and happy beide. So glad shes happy.
I'm glad she went with 1st. The way she moved in it was enough for me. Joyous.
I love this bridal dress consultant!
Wow that first dress was so lovely on her. I even loved the top she wore underneath
fab choice. That dress was beautiful on her
Beautiful couple! Beautiful bride! SHALOM!
Wonderful consultant
Mazal tov!!! Many happy, healthy, joyful years together!!
Wow pretty bride great story
I actually loved that drop waist on her! She looks absolutely stunning in that gown!
Loved this bride and episode 💕
The sister should shut her mouth. She is not the one getting married. Jealous?
They have a close relationship and I would like the honest opinion of somebody who knows me well.
The sister is likely married by the way she is talking and that she is not dressed as conservatively. She reminds me of the lovechild of Stepford Wife and M3ghan.
The sister is married. She is wearing a wig. Orthodox Jewish women can always tell
my best friend met her husband on a dating app on a monday, they met in person on tuesday, he moved in on thursday, they got engaged like 2 months later, married 6 months later, and have been married for 4 years! Ive never seen a happier couple!
She looks beautiful in the first dress
My dad proposed to my mom 16 hours after their first date. They have been happily married for 30 years with 3 kids. Hope the best for the bride too ❤
She didnt say she knew him for 5 weeks before getting engaged. She said she knew after 5 weeks that he is the one for her. Honestly it’s not that quick if you know what you’re looking for as she said… All the best to them!
Met my hubby June 1st, engaged September 19th and marriage the following May. 36 years ago
What a beautiful family. What a beautiful bride ❤
She is my favorite consultant ever. she rocks,
I remember working in a neighborhood with Orthodox Jews and on Saturday they would go to the synagogue. And they were not allowed to do certain things that day . This was back around 1994 .
