Dad is a drag queen at heart living vicariously through his wife and daughter.
Hahaha 🤣 oooooh yesssss. The man is self assured and out there.
He’s the gayest straight man I’ve ever seen
In my head I was saying closeted queen definitely DL behind the scenes cause he's way too extra
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep!!!
The dad is more of a diva than the bride and his wife.
Definitely!
Dads gay
The only thing I agree with the dad about is who cares what the fiancé likes.
Lol
He's a narcissist. He dresses his wife and kids like they're reflections of himself.
The consultant is giving Marilyn Monroe and I'm here for it!! 😍😍
I know right. She’s gorgeous.
Oh wow yeah I just noticed that
She had that total vintage Hollywood Glam look going on. I love it!
Totally but her foundation colour is over the top.
Shes had WAY too much plastic surgery
Every bride should have a mother like that. "You look gorgeous!" no matter what she wears.
No I would definitely appreciate some honesty
maybe i'm the only one who was OVER her dad steamrolling the entire wedding. he gets to plan weddings for hundreds of people, you'd think he could let his own daughter make some decisions.
You aren't! I really hate parents that kindly bully.
You would think he of all people would understand it is about the bride’s personal connection with the dress, but nope. Over him.
but when you daughter have a such a bad taste , the last one was wired :)I liked more the mom and dad picks.
When he said “she has no choice” I was like ah hell no!!!
@@eller3452 As long as her father was present and running his mouth, she wasn't going to get "that feeling". She was only ever going to get "his feeling". I've said it before, shop for the dress alone and pay for it yourself.
OMG, no matter how well intentioned her father is, he’d drive me crazy.
@@AProfColleenBKelly When did he say he was gay? I may have missed it.
Good thing he’s not your father. If this father who loves his daughter makes you crazy then what kind of father do you have?
@@MsMarta57 He is controlling of his daughter. "She won't be swayed but at the end she will listen to us". He is treating her daughter like she is a five year old and acts like he knows better in everything
This made me so happy my dad was a quiet, butch type of guy who never had an opinion on my clothes as long as they weren't trampy.
@@OnLifeandLove common parents talk sarcastically. Honestly I think it's just kids who can understand there intentions behind words
I have to say that even though the Dad’s pick really did suit her, it is her wedding, and her opinion should be valued above all else! As somebody so knowledgeable about weddings, he should know that!
Exactly! I was thinking that! “He should know better” is like the catchphrase for this episode!
I love Ellie’s hair. Very “classic Hollywood” just beautiful.
I'm surprised she is allowed to wear that red lipstick in the bridal shop; you know, smudges......
Hate to admit it but the dad’s pick actually suited her really well, and I usually don’t even like belts or ballgowns.
Agreed. Even if it wasn’t her taste, I didn’t see how it was “matronly” lol
It was my favorite
Same....it's the best for me...the shape she wants actually looks too old..or maybe i just hate that shape of dress😂
That dress was so gorgeous. Dad picked goooood! It suited her the best, honestly. I did not like the last one at all :P It was like double waisted. And the bottom part started at a strange place.
@@sirtsupirtsu I agree about the last dress! I thought it was just my eyes seeing what a mess the waistline was.
“Put a veil on it”
The father’s watched this show a lot I see 😂
I’ve come to appreciate the “try on one for Mum/Dad”. Like I don’t think parents should pressure their kids into dresses they don’t want to wear but I think it’s good to have at least a few options that you’d never pick on your own, just in case you surprise yourself.
He called his daughter “it”
@@pyewacketpeggy8329 He actually didn’t. I accidentally misquoted him. He just says “put a veil on”, but trails off at the end in a way that I misheard as ending in “it”. Even if he had said “it”, I would have assumed he was referring to the bridal ensemble rather than her as a person.
I have always wanted to say this but never quite had the words. I agree with you completely. There have been brides that have been surprised by how much they liked a style picked by their parents that was not a style they originally wanted
Let this young lady have a great day shopping for her wedding dress. Opinions are ok, but don’t be overbearing!
i tried on prom dresses a couple days ago and fell in love w the first one i tried on. it was a black lace corset ball gown w gold specks scattered. i didn’t wanna settle for the first dress i’ve ever tried on so i kept looking but at the end my mom said “you know that’s your dress. you keep looking trying to find a better one, but this is the one you keep coming back to. if you don’t get it now you won’t be able to stop thinking about it and you’ll regret not getting it.” and she was right i got it and i can’t even stop thinking about it even after we bought it i just can’t wait to wear it 😭
Hope you have a great time at your prom!!
Have a great prom!
Her Dad is extra! I didn’t even really hear her Mom say anything.
Might be due to the editing; a lot of frames where her dad says "no" her mom is shaking her head no as well
I love how supportive both parents were for the dress that Caitie fell in love with. Personally, I think dad's pick suited her the best. I also like how the bride took her time and decided not to rush into buying the dress.
So pleased she didn't get too overwhelmed by the helpful (I know everything) parents.
Du hast recht Ich würde nie mit meinen Eltern kaufen gehen, Eltern wissen immer alles besser.🤪
Ugh the one she almost picked looked like a prom dress, and she has a lovely figure but it didn't complement her. Her dad's pick was definitely the best of all of them, it flattered her, and was itself stunning without overwhelming her. Hope she landed on something more like that
I didn't like it.
@@andreahughes6833 neither did I lol
Yeah as soon as I saw it, it screamed quiceañera. But this episode is a bit old now so maybe that's what was cute for 2014 🤷🏽♀️
@@arianam6430 good point!
Dad is all “I’m sure she’ll come back to buy the dress” and I hope she did go back, WITHOUT him, to look at dresses at HER appointment.
yes i do too
It wasn't the dress she got married in. If she did get her dress at Kleinfeld's, it wasn't shown on the show.
My husband cousin couldn't find what she wanted. She is an excellent seamstress. So she designed and made her own wedding dress. It was beautiful.
A much more satisfactory way to go. I made my own and my daughters' and daughter-in-law's and all their bridesmaids' dresses. Didn't cost the earth either.
@@alisonmoffitt1051 that is true. I also helped her with the mens cowboy shirts and I made the grooms western suit. Since I was used to sewing suits. They paid for the material and I donated my time. I wish it was a requirement for girls to take sewing in 8th grade and at least two years in high school. My sons wives have no idea how to even sew a simple tear or hem a dress or pair of pants. Maybe that is why torn pants are in style.
@@alissagonzales735 I made my husband's wedding suit too. The first time I'd done real tailoring. Most of the jacket is hand sewn. I also made my mother and mother-in-laws' outfits for the day and my going away clothes and my husband's shirt and my little brother's shirt and tie as well.
I wish I could see!!
There’s something to be said for the home ec /shop class offerings, but for all students, not gender specific.
I 1000% understand how she feels about not being able to say yes. When I was shopping for my wedding dress, I found a dress I had looked at for about 2 years and was at one point my dream dress. When I put it on I fell in love with it immediately. It exceeded my expectations, but it was so overwhelming like emotional whiplash. I made another appointment for a week later and couldn’t stop thinking about the dress. That time I said yes and I knew I wouldn’t find anything even close to how perfect it was
@@eller3452 what dress was it?
Agreed, I felt like she just got overwhelmed finally seeing herself as a bride. Even when you like how you look and everyone around you tells you you’re gorgeous it can be a lot to put on an outfit and see yourself in a totally different light to how you had before (I’ve not specifically shopped for wedding dresses before, but I related to that)
The dress the dad chose was absolutely gorgeous, especially on her. I personally would probably try it in if it had so floral lace embedded into it and a tint of light blue. I’m glad though she continued to go with what she wanted until she finds the dress she wants and I know it’ll look absolutely beautiful on her.
The consultant has GORGEOUS hair
The mom's hair is very strange.
4:20 BEST PART OF THE EPISODE!
I know the dads only saying that because he wants his vision but I can’t help but love it when people say fuck it to the grooms opinion for the dress. The right man will love you in anything as long as they see you happy.
Nobody is saying the groom's gonna bolt it in the other direction & stop loving her if she doesn't wear the dress he likes, but if you're marrying someone you should be thinking about their opinions on things too.
Seems a bit toxic to want to say 'fuck you' to your partners opinions on something.
@@raenfairy it’s hardly toxic. It’s their day but it’s her dress. It’s a personal thing , he’s not going to be wearing it so why should he get a say. If he doesn’t find her beautiful in something that makes her happy that’s his problem. He can have a say on literally every other part of the wedding, just not the dress
@@Purplekitty274 I mean that's your opinion, if you wouldn't want to hear your partners thoughts/opinions on what you'll be wearing, personally I'd like to hear what they'd like to see me in & I would try to incorporate it into my dress because I'd want them to be just as happy & I'd want them to feel like their say does matter.
@@raenfairy I get your point but I disagree. I believe you can make your partner’s opinion feel valued without sacrificing what you want to wear on your wedding day
@@raenfairy my partner loves me in anything that makes me happy. He knows his opinion is valued, fashion is just a personal thing. Let’s face it the vast majority of men would want their bride to wear something slim and figure hugging, if I kept that in mind I’d just be buying a silhouette I don’t want when realistically it’s not the dress he’s focusing on. Scenario- you find your perfect dress but it’s the total opposite of what you’re fiancé wants. Do you buy it and be happy or compromise and have a little part of you wishing you’d picked the one you wanted?
The right guy won’t mind what you wear and will understand that it’s your choice and what makes you feel comfortable
Dress 2 with the belt was perfect on her !! I can’t believe she liked the last dress more then the 2nd
Her dad will eventually come out as a drag queen!!! He is a total Diva!!! Lol
I know, like I don’t like to generalize but my gaydar is pretty on point and it broke the meter it shot so high😭
Queen, not drag queen. There is a difference! :)
lol That's what I thought - and I thought dad it's not your wedding.
@@SR-js6xe ur right, straight guys can love fashion. I’m not saying he’s gay cause he loves fashion. That’d be stupid. I’m saying I think he’s gay cause I’m just really getting gay vibes. It’s all of him, not just cause he loves fashion.
@@_kikizaman_ Such a rude assumption. As if it's our business anyway.
The consultant is so beautiful and polite
Honestly I would go by myself and pick what I felt absolutely beautiful in. Than surprise them all on my wedding day,
I agree with you on this. Why bring an "entourage" to pick out YOUR dress; that I don't understand.
If someday I marry I plan to do the same thing.
I wouldn’t want a committee to help me pick, either.
Ellie is such a classy, elegant, gorgeous, stunning beauty! She is such a professional and perfect for this job. I love it when I find clips with her as the consultant. 💜
The dress her dad picked out was honestly gorgeous
Sometimes it's better to go dress shopping alone.
You are so right!👍
No you're wrong. Sometimes you need others vision to truly understand what you like.
@@killphaser25 How are you gonna argue they're wrong when you've said the exact same thing they've said just the other way around 'sometimes.' Is what was said.
@@killphaser25 not in this cases
"My father is a wedding planner..." Oh god, my heart just sunk into my boots already! This is going to be yet another episode of "Not Your Bloody Wedding!" isn't it?
I love the father. He has attention to detail and truly only wants the best for his daughter. You can see he enjoyed every minute sharing his expertise with his little girl. I think the first dress that she liked would look nice with a belt.
He was way too commanding tho. It's her wedding, she's an adult she can make her own decisions. He doesn't have to push his opinion so much.
Illilllllll
No he isn’t
@@starrynight8903 I agree
I wish I had a dad like that!!
God bless him always.
I love her Mum. She is so excited to see her Daughter in everyone of those sumptuous gowns her face is like a child on Christmas morning full of wonderful expectation. The bride-to-be looked gorgeous in every gown she tried on.
Coming here to say right away that the consultant is giving me Marilyn Monroe vibes!! She's GORGEOUS!! ok back to the show. Looking forward to seeing how far daddy goes with this appt.
Ughhhh I wish she would've said yes. She was stunning in that dress. I thought daddy was cute how into it he was. ❤
Her Dad is such a Queen!
I love how her mom and dad are so excited. I know she is going to have a beautiful wedding.
The thing I agree with is that It doesn’t matter If the dress is in the style groom likes, he's getting married to a person, not the dress
You don’t think it’s THEIR wedding?
@@victoriousvalentine9779 their wedding, her dress
So the dress isn't important, then.
She probably had plenty to say about what he should wear though. She was right to consider what he would find attractive on her.
I 100% agree with the comment that it is THEIR wedding.
@cece I'm not American either. Maybe that influences our viewpoint? All eyes may be on the bride as she walks down the aisle, but the bride and groom will only have eyes for each other. She's wearing the dress so can only see it fully in a mirror. He gets to see her in it throughout. And she, hopefully, values his opinion above all others.
That ball gown was BEAUTIFUL 😍
I love her dad's choice! It looked so good in her
But not what she wanted
😊
I love the Lazaro dress (1st one) she tried on. I think it looked so flattering on her.
Dad!!!! Please listen to your daughter.
I loved that the one she said she loved her dad gave approval for. He wants her to be happy.
She was glowing in that dress I love the sparkle on the top she said it even matched her engagement ring what more could you ask for and dad even liked it LOL dad is great I loved when he said who cares what he likes that was precious LOL
I would take him shopping with me any day. He sooo loving towards his daughter. Opinionated but accepting and respectful of her.
The dress the dad picked out is actually gorgeous, i can't believe she didn't love it!!!!
Dad is giving a vibe and probably fosters the daughters uncertainty!
Seeing the choices he made for his daughter, I have no clue how he's actually earned a living in this business...
Oh wait...he's a florist...that's where he gets the notion he knows how to style a dress. Ok...I get it now. Bless his heart.
i must say the consultant is beautiful
She's beautiful! I wish should would have tried on a few more silhouettes. Her Dad was a hoot.
a lot of people talk about the dad, but I want to shout out for the consultant. in the more modern episodes their just trying to sell you anything. back here, they were there for the brides, not the commotion, and I appreciate that they were kinda like a voice of reason in the old episodes
This consultant is so pretty. Lovely woman, so feminine. 🌸💜🌸💜
I love the daddy, he probably couldn't wait to grow up to get married and have kids, so he would take care of them. I love his energy.
The reality of getting married just hit her
Or the amount of money hit her… taking a day to think about a decision can be good
@@missprimproper1022 I think she was just overwhelmed because of how overbearing her dad was.
@@missprimproper1022 you are most likely wrong. Lol
Didn't it
I think that last gown was absolutely perfect for her and that she should go back and get it and having a wedding planner for a father is fantastic because he knows how to make it work so good luck and I wish you a very happy life!!!💎💍❤️💍💎
The bride needs to speak her damn mind. Dad needs to shut the hell up and let the bride pick her own dress.
I actually loved when the dad said who cares what he (the fiance) thinks lollllll
Love her dad vibes 💕 ❤ he knows what's best for he's daughter. 👰♀ 👰♂ 💒
She looked gorgeous in her dad's first pick, but it's her day, only her opinion matters
I wish she would have tried on other silhouettes as well. The ball gown swamped her and the mermaids didn't do enough. Her Dad is a hoot.
The dad was lovely. So nice that he wants to be involved and is supportive of his daughter.
Ellie's retro-elegant look is amazing!
I soo wish someone would give the glamorous dress on the mannequin (shown in the close ups) a try! Enough with the princess ballgowns and fishtails already!
The title made the dad sound like a ‘guy-karen’ but he was really helpful in the appointment.
The Dad is such a Queen 🌸💅🏻
I've always loved Lazaro's dresses 😍😆❤🔥
I wish the father would let his daughter let her have her moment. He's looking at it like it's just another bride and not his daughter.
Love the platinum hair!!
The dad was right.
She took 6 months to say yes to go on a date with her finance. It was obvious she won't say yes to this dress in one appointment
I liked the first dress she tried on best! She loved it but didn’t want to disappoint daddy! Hope she goes back and compares first & last ones she tried on with mom & best friend only!
I love this consultants look.. so stylish
I didn't like a single dress on her. I feel like people were not showing her dresses that she wants and suited her personality. They were all confusing her including the staff.
She did try it on😒
When the dad says "Who cares what he likes " LOL 😂😂😂
I loved her dad's enthusiasm tbh. Did she come back???
This dad “ I don’t care what he likes”
Well sir he likes your daughter and you show exactly how much you care for her
When dad said "oh who cares we don't care what he likes."
Uhm
He likes your DAUGHTER maybe you SHOULD care
Ellie is so stunning. I love her eyes
Dad is most definitely living vicariously through his daughter. It’s frustrating. He should go plan the wedding of his dreams, and let his daughter do the same.
First time I agree with dad, “who cares what he thinks!”😂
Her dad is awesome! I can tell he just wants to use every bit of his knowledge to make sure that every last detail is perfect! I did like his pick but it really big. It definitely not for dancing in. If only every bride had a dad that determined to make her day! Her wedding is going to be epic!!!
I think it is very helpful and healthy for your new daughter to have you as her dad. Your background in working with special needs children it’s great because your daughter will have understanding and teaching techniques and great love she develops into the best life has to offer🦋🧚♀️☘️ congratulations dad and daughter👍🏻🤗
I thought any of the dresses fit her better than that last one .. and the dad was so right with the ball gown, she looked so gorgeous in it
It's the father for me..."I always bought all of her clothes, and my wife's clothes", and he really wants a dress himself
Good for her for standing up for what she wants. And the dad... I don't know Rick, I get the impression that he's hiding in a closet.
I got the same vibe!!
He can also be bi, or a straight man that’s into fashion? That’s a super problematic association.
It's none of our business.
Hush. Why do people always assume men's sexuality over dumb things like that?
Same
Dad is 100 percent a Drag Queen. Poor girl. I love the last dress she put on
Daddy trips the light fantastic .....
Gotta love how the dad said he didn’t like tule bottoms bc “they look messy” and immediately picked a ball gown made of tule like….
The last dress was beautiful on her, but I’m glad she didn’t give into pressure to buy it since she wasn’t sure.
When's the dad coming out in his ball gown??!!
Dad adores his daughter and also thinks for her. Thankfully, she thinks for herself too. Dad does come across as a tad pushy. Hopefully his overwhelming love for his daughter won't spill over into her relationship with her husband 😄.
@s: He didn't seem to care about the husband. Not a good start.
@@bookmagicroe9553 yup, a possessive dad?
A tad????
@@sn.m nope the dad isn’t good
Everyone taking about the dad, I’m over here just loving the mom
When you guys are talking just by yourself the dress in the back is the best
Ellie's hair😍
This is why I’m making my own dress and planning my own wedding
The consultant is stunning 🙂🙂👌🥰
I instantly disliked the father because he is so pushy about everything! I think he is in the closet, because he acts like a gay queen and I'm willing to bet on it. No straight man I ever met (and I'm old) buys all his daughter's and wife's clothes. He may be a wedding planner, but he cares nothing for his daughter's desires, wants to run the whole show & thinks his opinion is the only one that matters. Disgusting!
The wedding consultant is gorgeous, she reminds me of marilyn monroe
I love the consultant ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Her dad did not leave room for her to come to know what she liked. He could have dialed it back, been available for consult, and let her decision emerge on her terms.
It's hard to dial back flaming!
Dad was wrong this time, she didn’t go back for this dress, she got a different one. Also her bouquet is insanely ginormous, Dad was not playing when it came to those flowers!!
Ps - there was a belt though!
@@shanamarie2183 of course there was...😂
Where do we see the photos? Post a link, please! 😃
Dad it doesn't matter if you're a wedding planner it's your daughter's wedding not yours. She needs to feel a connection with the dress and she needs to love it.
I could tell the dad didn't really love her pick, but he was still supportive because he could tell SHE loved it. He even asked them to put the veil on her so that she could feel it and say yes to HER pick.
No he wasn’t
He is very overbearing and off-putting. Glad she stands up for her opinions.
