LOVE the mom in law! "I was voted by the committee to come & tell you..." LOL, they chose the right woman for the job!

[@LuLu-in-a-MuuMuu]

Good on the MIL for telling her son to back off. Good on her for being on her DIL's side

[@christyhull4214]

Everybody always talks about the groom not seeing the bride till the wedding day to surprise him. But my mind always goes to my wedding day when I seen my groom in his suit all dressed up for me. I never seen a more handsome man than my groom and now husband. This year will be 20 yrs since we been married and I still get butterflies in my stomach when he comes home from work.

[@anadietrich934]

❤

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Aw how sweet! I don’t see the big deal as it is just a dress. My man is the most handsome to me too.

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Aha that so nice

[@tjhill4044]

This guy is overreaching a lot. And he is stubborn as hell, big red flag.

[@doonewatts7155]

I think that after children the most beautiful thing is a long and happy marriage. You have set me up for the day thank you x

[@jemmaj2919]

Stunning bride, every dress looked gorgeous on her

[@verabakker9971]

I normally don't like the style of this dress, but is looks stunning on her! It even made me cry how beautiful she looks. For every body a perfect dress. And this dress is perfect for her.

[@smokymtnlady3856]

A beautiful dress, on a beautiful woman! I’m glad Paul left, seeing her on her wedding day will be even more special ♥️

[@Kara-kx1lb]

Paul will be totally glad he waited to see her!!! I remember American Chopper... loved the show. The dress is absolutely gorgeous on her!!! ❤

[@haley2684]

I'm usually not a fan of dresses like these but she's one of the few that can really pull it off 😍 I wish we could see Paul's reaction at their wedding!

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Me too

[@wandarobinson5612]

Way to go Mom 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽!!!

[@bev9708]

Me too, I ended up with nothing at all like I was looking for, but I absolutely LOVED it and still do to this day!!!

[@MBAinternetmktg]

One of the best episodes! He will be floored when he sees her walk down the aisle.

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Yep he will be

[@jayeclements6452]

There's a VERY fine line between "I want to be involved in every aspect of this wedding...." and "I want to CONTROL every aspect of this wedding....." I think Pauly was cruising just the right side of the line.....

[@KLemonLime]

Honestly, I totally get how a fiance who is deeply in love with their future wife would want to be involved in the process of choosing a wedding gown. He was honestly really sweet and respectful about the situation, and I'm sure he will be so happy when he's surprised by his bride walking down the aisle. (I'm nowhere near ready to be married and don't really care much for tradition, but I love the respect shown here)

[@Kayenne54]

Sometimes "helping" is more about "controlling" (even if the person doesn't realize it himself). It adds a layer of pressure no bride-to-be needs when choosing The Dress. Thankfully MIL stepped in. Bride needs to learn to speak up for herself more.

[@carolirvine3367]

What an amazing MIL, so different from the usual ones.

[@Crystal_Blue_Persuasion]

I don't normally like to see men getting involved in selecting dresses, but Paul looked so disappointed. I felt bad for him.

[@vern0018]

Could tell he was so looking forward to see every dress she wears.

[@BerniceAnaya-xr9ne]

I really liked it when they asked Paul's brother Mike if Paul should stay and help his fiance to pick out a wedding dress and Mike immediately said No! He didn't even think about the question they had asked him, he automatically said No and I thought that was funny, because Paul just looked at him like bro your supposed to be on my side and I was waiting for them 2 to start arguing, but they didn't! I really miss watching that show, because they were both funny especially Mike and their dad was really nice looking and I liked the way they built those choppers(motorcycles), because they came out nice and I liked the different designs the way they were made. I wondered why the show isn't on anymore, because it was a good show. But it was nice to see the two brothers again even if it was to pick out a bridal dress.

[@michellep9999]

Agreed 100%.

[@bunker123sugar]

I thought she didn't want a heavy dress because her wedding was in August? She's going to roast in that dress.

[@doonewatts7155]

Surprisingly you don't it must be the adrenaline you just don't feel it

[@cardroid8615]

She is gorgeous and her body is perfection. I remember seeing her in American chopper in some blue tight jeans and her figure was just unbelievable! I've never seen such a body. Jr is a very lucky man

[@pemanumb703]

MIL is absolutely correct.

[@tipoftheicebergicy6448]

Paul is a real catch… such a gentleman. Congratulations to a wonderful groom and a beautiful bride ❤

[@thomasdewitt5705]

Now I want to see the wedding and his reaction. Beautiful dress.

[@alisahammons9949]

I really like the dress it's so beautiful

[@KM-nw7be]

I love Keasha’s smile and laugh. 😃

[@user-gw7oc3jf1w]

Pauley has always been my favorite!!❤ God Bless him!!

[@evelynneufeld7610]

Thanks for posting this ❤

[@cc-sb1is]

I LOVED the 3rd one that she wouldn't come out in

[@prissilou]

I have watched so many of these SYTTD videos, but have to admit I agree the groom should NOT be with the bride picking out dresses. The dress looks great on her.

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

No I don't think he should either

[@sherylloftin-booth4423]

The designer in him wanted to be in the mix thank goodness Momma Tutle stepped in to exercise her opinion. 😊 Rachel looks gorgeous 💗

[@elizabethmenegon8057]

I can't take him seriously with the little funny hairdo. He can't remember a kiss. They seem a good no brain match. 👌 All the best.

[@tamt5846]

Absolutely stunning!💕

[@aprilsmith6587]

I think her Mom was just making sure she was getting the dress she wanted and not one that her fiancé' described.

[@mariacherrington61920]

These girls are lucky to have an entourage to go with them. My girlfriends aren't into things like this, I had to twist my moms arm to go only person who wanted to go with me was my dad.

[@ysbyttybedbug]

I’ve never understood these large entourages on these shows. Apart from the fact that you just get multiple different opinions, why would a bride want lots of people to see her before the big day? I’ve always enjoyed my first glimpse of the bride at any wedding I’ve attended. Only my Mum & Dad were with me to choose my dress, too.

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Bless you

[@pjdava]

Say Yes to the Dress, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@heididepotter8136]

Perfect on her, stunning!

[@nunelevonyan6413]

Mom s so beautiful, OMG!

[@theaerasmus4585]

Run!!!!!

[@naturalPaths]

Apropos of nothing, but .. a kewpie doll hairstyle? who is ready to be married? (ok,ok.. I’m 71, so there’s that). “I’m feeling like I’m in 5th grade again.”

[@FionaApplewright]

I get really antsy when I see brides with a die-hard picture in their mind of their dream dress. My "dream dress" as a Pnina but I KNEW it would not be flattering on with my height and body shape. I went into the shop and said "no train, not strapless, no beading, otherwise pick whatever will look good on me" and you know what I left with? Strapless, medium train with beading all over the neckline and bodice. I still cry (in a good way) when I see photos of that dress. You just never know what it's going to be until you're there, in the dress.

[@laurabodycombe7998]

I loved that groom. What a nice guy.

[@monl3807]

How old is this episode? That pnina one ive seen on many brides. 6:29

[@thehungrygoldfish]

2010

[@kellyanni5092]

Flo is so cool calming funny intuitive direct just awesome and so beautiful. I would love her to find my dress.

[@zabindhanji]

I guess that I have watched too many episodes of SYTTD and seen this type of ruched dress a lot. It doesn't feel special to me. However, having said that, she does have a great body and it definitely looks good on her.

[@forestfields]

They've promoted this dress (or very similar ones) so many times over the years. I'm just tired of seeing it. However, as you said, she does look really good in it.

[@teresarose731]

She was beautiful

[@user-te1uv5qj6p]

7:35 me gustó de cintura para abajo, la parte de arriba, no

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 70 yr old grandma in Texas, USA and by the way l'm subscribed and l hit Like. 🐼 ❤ 🎀

[@toniconnor6380]

Buy it, tell mom to get on board

[@Amy.PCB.home.]

I have seen this dress a million times. She is a tall, thin, beautiful young lady. The bottom of the dress is heavy but her choice of course.

[@nancymckinley3068]

Once her oafish fiance left she showed lots of personality. Nice bride.

[@mustardsandwich9356]

'you look like a mar-maid' 🧜🏻‍♀️

[@debbylou5729]

I LOVE a beautiful different wedding dress. I don’t understand the ‘Vegas showgirl’ trend. There’s a difference between tasteful bling and a bedazzler

[@WitchyBishy]

He's a reality tv star. If there's cameras he wants to be there

[@maryjoambrozia4180]

A groom to be should never help pick out the bride’s dress or see it before the wedding day!

[@gholliday3792]

SHE and whoever, not HER and whoever!!!

[@joralemonvirgincreche]

Horrified by Randy's grammar !!!

[@paulakelley4845]

Ick!

[@Anna-fm7hh]

She wanted completely difftent style, but OF COURSE they had to push her into that banal Panina. The mother felt something was off.

[@shelleyparker3601]

He wants to be in control

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Not necessarily as maybe he just wants to see it before the wedding. I don’t see the big deal at all.

[@bossyjoyce3711]

I got "abuse" vibes from him immediately.

[@lorilove4706]

Oh lawd, bad enough having one guy there, but two????

[@alisonfraser8231]

That dress is not too hot for an August wedding? It is rhicknsatin. Hope they changed the date.

[@SuzeeBee73]

This bride is suffering from What would Paul think Syndrome. Yikes

[@melodied4314]

OLD OLD video!!

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I don’t see the big deal if her fiancé helps her and sees the dress. It is just a dress but sadly many make the biggest deal out of it. I don’t care if my man sees my dress before the wedding. It is just a dress that you will wear only once.

[@cecithomas3753]

Too much Pinna

[@gracieprado3096]

That guy pushing to deep his nose in woman stuff/dress is already a red flag 🚩

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Why? Is it ok to be involved but of course let the bride make the final decision. People make the biggest deal out of a one time dress.

[@karennelson4326]

I mean this as an observation and not a criticism as the groom is a cute and kind man, but... The stripe of beard down the middle of his chin, the space between his two front teeth, his very distinct, pointy nose and the spike of hair right in the middle of his head make the experience of looking at him very strange - all of the site lines are right smack dab in the middle of his face.

[@carolharris5455]

Paul is going to rule her whole life.She should have ran

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

You already think that just based on a short clip?

[@natashabourne2167]

Yes, his arrogance and need for control is abundantly clear.

[@denisemaccaline6489]

Question. If the groom can't have any say in the dress, should the bride have any say in the tux?

[@pattyk734]

Nobody cares what the groom wears

[@emilyfeagin2673]

As long as his attire fits the occasion. No one looks at the groom , except the bride

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

⁠@@pattyk734Nobody cares what the bride wears either.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@emilyfeagin2673That’s not true at our weddings. No one gives a care what the bride wears.

[@bonnieege2460]

I thought they were married for years

[@krystalrhea9372]

This an old episode

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Yes, this episode aired in 2010, the same year they got married.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

3:29 Wait, wait, wait! what just happened? *Why is he debating the woman that gave birth to him?* He goes back in the room to debate it w/ his wife?! This has to be staged

[@deborahasher176]

Look out for the MIL. Where's the mother of the bride?

[@nikitatrisha1616]

Her mom was right there. And there was nothing wrong with the mother in law. She was very sweet

[@joralemonvirgincreche]

The mother in law was looking out for the bride, making sure the groom was put in his place.

[@spirosmith1389]

stay in your lane, groom. help out with the flowers, music, guest list, but let her have her day

[@pearlrodrigues372]

I will say grooms should not see or pick out the dress, that’s bad luck.

[@victoriakirchoff1667]

He should have stayed with her

[@wandarobinson5612]

AGAIN, you can’t STAY STUCK on what Used To Be or be Narrow Minded about things!

[@maryhirsch7170]

Maybe he should be in fifth grade?

[@reneek7721]

The guy says he feels like he's in 5th grade when his mom stepped in, well get rid of the hair style and you won't look like a 5th grader.

[@lianecook9437]

Who brings all these people to try on dresses

[@quiltfreak64]

Bye bye Paul

[@lidiasidoruk976]

i am so against this stupid tradition to make the fiancee leave. i would release all the hell and its' demons if that consultant would be so rude and tell my husband to be that he s can't be there.

[@Rosyy-lm7bs]

For you it’s stupid but for us it’s tradition it’s not stupid

[@esthererasmus480]

Hard times ahead. Control freak

[@janemacintyre9801]

Controlling ...??

[@LenneReiff]

I'm sorry but this man is way too controlling. I was in a marriage like that and it lasted 2 years.

[@Rosyy-lm7bs]

His so wired let her pick her dress and leave

[@mlaiuppa]

If he wants to pick out the dress that is a sign of controlling. Red flag.

[@lesliehohenfeld1]

Now, please tell your son to get rid of the ugly hair cut.

[@giugiu1107]

I don't understand why he can't see the bride dress till the wedding day or help her to choose her dress. This is an obsolete and very old tradition. My husband is the first person who I want to be beautiful that day, so I want that he chooses the dress with me. This is what I think and I have done when I married him 25 years ago. Horrible dress by the way, maybe he could choose better.
