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!
I only took my mom. Everything I tried she said "oh you look lovely!" For the other fitting appointment I went on my own. The assistants were lovely to me. The other bride in the shop was horrible and cut me dead when I tried to be pleasant. So the shop assistants were even nicer. Positive experience 😊
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.
Yes, I know I'm older (got married in 1980 when all wedding gowns had sleeves) but I don't care for the strapless gowns that have been popular for the past couple decades. I'd be afraid of a wardrobe malfunction.
I loved that dress, it was simple elegance that let her shine. I don’t like strapless, never have, I would be worried of exposing myself accidentally and wouldn’t be able to dance or enjoy my own wedding in that case. I love the amount of tones of mesh these days, where you can give the illusion of showing bare skin but it just helps keep everything where it should ❤
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
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.
I’ve brought my cousin…, my other cousin…., my second cousin…., my 4 sisters, my mother, my father, my grandmother, my mother-in-law, my dog, my cat, my budgie, my best friend , my soriety sisters …and Uncle Tom Cobley and all !!! 🤣🤣🤣😩😩
@@hollymerchant9550 Yeah you may think like that afterwards but still it was your day and YOU should be happy and opinions can be taken as ideas but can't be forced
Most couples don’t have common interests. Opposites often attract. You don’t pick who you fall in love with. You learn from each other along life’s path.
I agree. I picked out my own wedding dress. On my own. A friend of mine worked in a bridal store and she kept urging me to come in to see this dress she thought was perfect for me. I finally went in. It was the first dress I tried on and fit like it was made for me. Except for hemming it, that’s all the alterations I needed. I still would pick that dress today.
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.
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.
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)
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.
I was privileged to go dress shopping with my future daughter in law. Daughter 1 probably won't marry and daughter 2 lives a few states away. It just really depends on the dynamic of the families.
I will take my future MIL just because I want her to feel included, I know that will make her happy. But she’s also very kind and was so lovely to me from the moment we met. I am probably the most stubborn and opinionated person in my family (and my family knows it lol) so I think they know I have them there for the moment and not really for the advice. Especially because I have told my family I’ll be paying for my wedding myself specifically so they DONT get a say ever since I was little!😂
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. ❤
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.
Wow, that dress with the sleeves was extreme. I was super modest, but that didn't mean covering my arms. I'm so happy for her that she found a dress she loved and that her grandmother loved.
Makes me thankful for the grandmothers I have, I wish my maternal grandma was still around for if I ever get married because we have the exact same taste and I wish she could be there. Either one of my grandmas would tell me 100% to get what I love not what anyone else wants
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.
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.
They are her support system and taking the time to get everyone in on the big decisions is important especially if they ate helping to pay for it. I wish I had such a large caring family to help me make such important decisions for happy memories.
Respecting one's elders and bowing to every one of their decisions after you are grown are two different things. And the elders never seem to see that. Been there, done that. Elder lost.
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).
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
Why do brides think everyone they know should come dress shopping? Let them be surprised at the wedding.
@nancymckinley3068 because they like having some family and friends with them.
I had my Momma, my aunt, and my two maid of honors at mine. Wouldn’t have changed that for the world. I invited my two cousins I wish they could have made it. Less opinions doesn’t mean better I wish I had hers

@superstarcat7654 good for you in making your own dress. I bet it was BEAUTIFUL with the butterflies.
I’ve thought this often.
Also, why does anyone else think they can choose the bride’s dress?
Respecting your elders is one thing but that doesn't mean THEY get to make YOUR decisions.
All you have to do is look at their reaction to the final dress to know that the "no bare skin" thing was a set up for the show.
Respectfully decline their decision 😊
But if the matriarch is contributing any money towards it a lot of times they feel like they get a say.
Amen.
Then the matriarch should get married.
I’m from the South, too. What I learned from my elders is that people don’t always deserve my respect just because they’re old. #ToxicBehavior
100%
I couldn’t greet more!
totally agree!
@samanthac349 RESPECT is earned. Just because someone is older doesn't mean they earned the RESPECT!!
I like to say "i don't owe you respect because your parents had sex before mine"
Cool it grandma, it ain't your wedding😂
Cool it future mother in law, it ain't your wedding either!
The battle of the T profile pics
Dear mary Francis Hill.. I hope your granddaughter wears hooters
Well said!
You can respect your elders without giving them control of such a big decision.
"If it's up to me..." Well, it's NOT!
Literally what I said 🤦🏾♀️😂
i got as far as that and came straight to the comments.
I would have clapped back “well good thing it isn’t your wedding”.
Love this dress grandma
Skipper’s dress and hairstyle are really classy. Classic.
I agree. Made a lovely change from all the strapless bridal gowns
That last dress was so cool - very Jackie O, 50s chic... love it.
The mother in law to be should keep her mouth shut unless she is going to pay for the dress.
Even then....
Even then!
A gift shouldn't come with strings
If she wants grand babies she needs to show some skin
Even if they pay they need to shut it down. It's a gift. Not a moral obligation to follow.
Why bring the grandma and future mother-in-law when she doesn't want an old fashioned wedding dress?
Maybe you don’t live in an extended family household or environment and have been brought up in the same way . Many cultures respect the elders far more than you think. I don’t find it unusual as I lived in an extended family household where my grandmother lived with me until she died. She was my best friend, her opinion was extremely important. Shame you haven’t had this .
Depends on who those are on the other hand. But a 21 year old that are so insure of herself like this one. If she had more confidence she had not had them with her. Or gotten married yet
I was 20 years old, paid for my own dress, but I valued my Mom’s opinion. She knew what I envisioned and supported my choice.
The producers of the show always told the bride to bring those who could add "drama," no matter what kind, no matter how trivial, and then they'd make them amp up every tiny bit of blather and nothingness to increase viewership.
It clearly works since so many viewers get themselves all invested in one of the most ridiculous forms of entertainment ever to be put on tv, and millions take the whole foolish industry as being truthful, when in fact, it's so far from the truth, it really cannot be called "reality" tv.
Well documented all over the Internet, not me alone saying that.
She might not have invited them.
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!
The future mother-in-law is wearing that pink T-shirt pretty low. She is showing a lot of neck😂
Exactly.
Oh my GOD! I was thinking the same thing!🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏿
I wouldn't marry her son, I'm not dealing with no one's messy momma
I think she’s adorable
Oh come on. I’m from the South and I would never have let my grandmother dictate what I wore.
They didn’t, they gave their opinion the bride chose.
And with that Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the show “This Isn’t Your Wedding!”
😂😂😂😂
I only took my mom. Everything I tried she said "oh you look lovely!" For the other fitting appointment I went on my own. The assistants were lovely to me. The other bride in the shop was horrible and cut me dead when I tried to be pleasant. So the shop assistants were even nicer. Positive experience 😊
MIL looks way older than grandma!!!!
I thought so, too.
Yea! How old is the groom??!!
Me 45 and my grandma today look just little older then her with tops 10 years
She might be older! Maybe she had her kids later in life, and grandma had hers earlier. :)
Miss Francis and Grandma should have been left at home.
The 2nd bride dress was so elegant. I think the 1st bride's elders would have loved it!
Agree
Just because they’re a “Southern Grandma” you get to be rude & ridiculous?!?
SKipper's dress was perfect for her. Lovely.
The last bride dress was classy and stunning. Not all wedding dresses have to be strapless to be beautiful.

@@samanthac.349 my budget for the dress for $4k. I ended up spending $1.8k on Justin Alexander dress. I said yes to my dress on Friday :)
Honey, I am picking up what you’re putting down!
@samanthac.349 she meant 100-200 over budget, not that's all she is willing to pay. And I found both my dresses for under 200. One was even all lace.
@@JOURNEYIN2THEUNKNOWN Yes, that’s what I meant :)
I LOVE Skipper's dress!!! SO CLASSY AND BEAUTIFUL
The family is adorable & so supportive for coming with her however it's not 1950.
Nothing wrong with being respectful, consider trying it . Being modest around your family and guests is classy.
Omg. It's what the BRIDE'S wants. When will people learn.
I’ve brought my cousin…, my other cousin…., my second cousin…., my 4 sisters, my mother, my father, my grandmother, my mother-in-law, my dog, my cat, my budgie, my best friend , my soriety sisters …and Uncle Tom Cobley and all !!! 🤣🤣🤣😩😩
😂😂😂
I'm not going to lie, you cracked me up 😂😂 "My budgie" did it for me - and now part of me wants someone to do that 😂😂😂
Not too trusting about a dog's taste in wedding finery -- but if the *CAT* likes it you've probably got a winner right there.
😂 love it.
Seriously. WTH are they thinking???
The second couple was so adorable! Her dress was so classy and perfect for her!
Future MIL was clutching her pearls a little too much. 😊
Skipper's dress is gorgeous.
So was Skipper.
The bride doesn’t want to disappoint her Gran but Gran is happy to hurt her grandchild 😢
Children do get to be seen and heard!!!!!!!!
NO.
@@rupatsiisti Children are people, not property.
4:50 IT IS NOT YOUR WEDDING
I had the same attitude... I wish I had considered other's ideas for my wedding... It would have helped long term relationships!
@@hollymerchant9550 Yeah you may think like that afterwards but still it was your day and YOU should be happy and opinions can be taken as ideas but can't be forced
@@Blablablsblmbli Consider the relationships you will have after the wedding... Best advice ever! 😉
"I don't want my granddaughter to be happy."
Is a relationship with that person really worth that much?
Don't think she had to say she was old fashioned. That goes with out saying.
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.’
Most couples don’t have common interests. Opposites often attract. You don’t pick who you fall in love with.
You learn from each other along life’s path.
Yea, I didn't hear the "I really love him, even though we have some differences'". I heard "I like this & he likes that". She's still young, too!!!
Demure, classy, and a name like Skipper. Great combo!
I LOVE Skipper’s dress! The ultimate in classy!!

"children should be seen, not heard" clearly her mom didn't tell her that enough
I despise the whole "children should be seen and not heard" thing. Hate it
I think there is a needed balance between not being heard and letting kids be the boss. Some parents error on both sides of the spectrum.
If I hear someone say that I instantly dispise them.
You haven’t met my grandchildren!!!!!!
@@EstherHulst-Artist can you instantly attempt to spell despise correctly?
It's disgusting..we should not shut down someone's voice and expect a healthy adult..

What a beautiful bride 💐
Both the old people were unbearable
I'm born and raised up North and we are also raised to respect our elders!
Skippers dress would look fantastic in a tea length!!! Love it!!

Dang! MIL looks like great grandma... maybe she had 10 kids. LOL!
Or maybe she's just old. Nothing wrong with ageing, you sound like 12
Its her hairdo
@@jemma-joon It's because her MIL looks as old as her grand mother instead of her mother.
we get along really well ... she said ... and that enough for you to get married after 2 years dating ?? i will never understand ...

I totally agree with you👍
"I'm kinda old fashioned..." Alright so YOU don't wear it. Let her wear what she likes.
Old fashioned doesn't mean you get to be rude.
id tell grandma to take a hike the first dress looked wonderful
You mean the Bride's first choice, cause the first dress was that Victorian abomination that MIL chose
We never had dresses like that when I got married but sleeveless and more skin is in so go with the flow
Love Clancy and Skipper!!
The old ladies arent getting married. Their day is gone.
Exactly..why do they think a bride should wear what they like? A wedding is personal and the start of a new family. Back off and let the bride decide
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.
Some "old ladies" get married in their 90s. Stop ageism!!!
The dress with the long sleeves was gorgeous. Maybe not many people’s style, but it’s not prehistoric at all!
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.

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.
I live in the Midwest n was raised to respect my elders but even my grandma had modern taste
The MIL reminds me of SNL church lady lol
YES!
Love MIL clutching her pearls
Regardless of what some elder might think, respect is deserved it’s not earned.
I went by myself to pick out my dress.
They are her support system and taking the time to get everyone in on the big decisions is important especially if they ate helping to pay for it. I wish I had such a large caring family to help me make such important decisions for happy memories.
Skipper sounds more "country" than Clancy..hahaha (as far as her accent)
I think a veil makes a beautiful difference!😁
and here we are
If you have that old style combo, leave them home!!!
Glad the MIL came around. She was obnoxious! Someone forgot to tell her she wasn't the bride. 😅😅
Respecting one's elders and bowing to every one of their decisions after you are grown are two different things. And the elders never seem to see that. Been there, done that. Elder lost.
I think one of my Barbie dolls had a dress that looked like Skipper ❤
If Monte thought the dress was archaic (and it was) why was it even in the shop?
The designer of said item is now permanently branded. If it were my design, I'd be very unhappy with such a public slanging.

Honest to God, WHY hasn’t ANYONE in these two families ever confronted their ancient ideologues before?
Surprised they even had that old fashioned dress in the store!!!!
Yeah grandma ❤
If they ain't paying for it then they don't get to say what they'd like for a dress.
Brides with brassy toned hair need to get it recoloured so hair looks good with white instead of clashing
Its not the anterages wedding dress. Its the brides. She needs to make her decision on what she wants.
Entourage?
@@BBlair-if8tj- thank you, I was so confused.
There’s one thing about respecting your elders, but there’s also another thing standing up for yourself and being bald.

One Steel Magnolia down, one to go! 😁
Why would you wear a bear skin to the beach? 😂
I agree with the One commenter about taking people with you to buy that dress. It takes a village, but not necessarily to buy a dress.
#3 dress is beautiful
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.
Grandma said “treat everyone the way you want to be treated” then she gave absolutely no respect for the bride’s first choice!
"Children should be seen not heard. " That BS is the reason why I struggle with standing up for myself as an adult.
Why are you getting married at 21 after only 2 years of dating? Grow up first.
Perhaps because Southern Baptist culture discourages premarital sex?
