Bride Breaks Tradition By Refusing To Wear The Family Dress | Say Yes To The Dress

[@rebeccaernette1749]

I like this group of people. They respect her decisions, they might be old fashioned but its a respectful old fashioned

[@gabbystrahan5351]

Exactly!!!

[@nadinehealey790]

Agreed, a beautiful group of people. What a blessing to have a wonderful family like this

[@mravina1614]

I love how the mom noticed her daughter's happiness first when she came out in that first dress.

[@Anna-fm7hh]

Yeah, noticed the happiness, but said the dress is bad regarless.

[@jennifersmith1333]

Finally!! It's rare we see such a caring loving mother who realizes it's her daughters day and not hers

[@karenrubenmoss9307]

Nicely put.

[@ohbrother1967]

So true, this mother was so cute. She REALLY wanted what she had pictured for so many years, but wanted her daughters happiness even more😊

[@francesfehrman741]

To plain

[@shiliela_rhymes_with_delilah]

Start a new tradition. Her kids can choose if they want to wear the heritage dress or their mom's dress.

[@ronyagpd]

Or their own choice!

[@CanMoose]

That would be the best

[@tiffanybrown1001]

Exactly this. They can wear the heritage dress or choose their own.

[@lornas_corner]

Or, hear me out, she might not have children!!??

[@shiliela_rhymes_with_delilah]

Or have all boys. I'm just saying that both dresses can be an option if anyone in the family wants to wear them.

[@utearnold847]

What a wonderful mother. She would really have loved her daughter to wear the traditional dress but fully accepted the new dress.❤

[@Pattiecakes1982]

That's how my MIL is. She had five boys so she kindly offered me her dress. I was so honored however it wasn't my style. I did make sure she was the first one to see my dress when it arrived so we still could share a special moment :) I'm a really blessed lady 😊

[@vr6410]

What a true Southern and loving mother. Such a sweet family

[@karijordan4930]

Can we just comment on how supportive the matriarchs were which was so sweet! Take a page from their "CLASS ACT OF LOVE" BOOK!

[@nancyhammons3594]

That's like "Bless your heart."

[@ErinRogoff]

These people respect each other's opinions on wedding dresses, and I so appreciate how even if they didn't like a certain dress, they'd say it's lovely instead of critiquing it with insults. This world needs more families like this one. I hope Susan has a marvelous wedding!

[@JillStanley-wx6kl]

The mother is really beautiful, I think. Nice that they all supported the bride's decision.

[@kingdomacademymf9316]

I love the gown she chose it suited her personality and figure. I am glad her family respected her enough to let her go with her vision and what made her feel more beautiful.

[@MaryDalton64]

I really loved the fact that her family was able to see past what they wanted and envisioned for her and supported her choice. It shows that, as important as tradition was to them, the happiness of the bride was more important.

[@kdawson8981]

The whole family was beautiful and the Mom in particular. Every time she smiled, I smiled with her. The love she has for her daughter showed through.

[@KateBraun-j8u]

It is one of my favorite mother-daughter couples on the show! The Mom is so sweet. Even though she does not agree with the modern style, she remains calm and respectful of the designs.

[@llc1976]

That necklace veil and flower in her hair! Perfection!

[@vrsalcedo7245]

I LOVE that 1st dress on her! It is so flattering on her.

[@TheSkandranon]

I'm impressed with mom, she can see how the bride reacted in the dresses and reacted accordingly

[@claira8601]

I thought it was lovely, truly lovely, how the Mother and Aunt came to love the bride's choice. The bride glowed, and her family was thrilled for her.

[@KM-nw7be]

Keasha is so fun. She’s got a great laugh!

[@moyubutt]

She’s got her own show now!!! Look up Keasha’d Perfect Dress :)

[@jemma-joon]

Lovely family, they were supportive of her choice

[@WatchingBadTV]

Just lovely 😂😂

[@amybuck2047]

What a classy and loving mother.

[@CrypticCharm]

good for the bride, i know a family where there is a legacy dress. it's from the 1940s, made of satin and lovely, but it's an optional thing.Some have worn it, some haven't. all brides know it's an option, but there is no issue, if they don't wear it. So good for Susan, it's her wedding, it's her dress, and always her choice

[@einezcrespo2107]

This is an entourage every woman needs when buying a wedding dress. Loving and supportive.

[@anitamiller5390]

The first dress looked beautiful on her! So glad she got it!

[@aconner3436]

Love this family! They didn’t reject their own values, they found a way to uphold them while supporting and loving Susan’s individuality! Beautiful!

[@MsWarriordiva]

The dress she picked with the veil, looked perfect for Mexico!!

[@sarah-phillips]

I remember watching this episode when it first aired and that line - did you see my mother have a heart attack when you said the ‘s’ word? - has stuck with me all this time. That bride was awesome and I love her family supported her. Still one of my favorite gowns,

[@leleemcmurphy2246]

Love the supportive group for the bride & understanding where she us coming from. I must say, the mom had me w/ " I wouldn't have it any other way." Quote- so precious is family!🌺Bless them & their union.

[@melissam7067]

How refreshing to see a group of GROWN UP, mature, respectful people. The mother (and aunt) were incredibly elegant. Love the Bride too-she was so right in saying all women have the right to feel sexy. Love this episode.

[@MarieKent-ji5nk]

That looks like the most fun appointment I've seen! Good luck to them. They seem a lovely family.

[@AnilKumar-hl1oy]

I dont know..they always add the most tacky jewellery, but this time the necklace was beautiful and the consultant is laterally so nice and likable

[@vbetta8979]

That consultant was AMAZING. She picked the right dress from the get-go and seemed to also understand how the family would react. She knew just what to do! ❤❤❤

[@Shasha-jo5iv]

@@vbetta8979 Keisha and Aubrey were the best consultants on the show.

[@missha1ry1]

Lovely family! It is hard to let tradition go, but they respected the daughter's happiness above all else.

[@elizabethedwards7082]

It's not their wedding. The bride is her own person.

[@chanabayla1823]

Then I hope you're rich and ur paying for your own dress since usually that's not the case

[@ladymassive7580]

LOL what?? On so many levels 😂

[@MsJubjubbird]

For ay cultures, including traditional southern ones, a wedding is about two families coming together, not just the bride and groom having a party. Therefore, the whole family gets involved

[@mariaelenavecchione2213]

These classy and gracious Ladies are such a breath of fresh air. So rare nowadays. ❤❤

[@sharontabor7718]

Southern speak - Lovely is code for "over my dead body", just like "Bless Your Heart" is the prelude to a major insult.

[@ravenkushner]

When I think of a wedding dress that has already been worn by 6 other people, all I can think about is bride-sweat. Yichh. I'm glad she found such a beautiful dress.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I am sure it has been drycleaned.

[@lovelyshirl]

The bride looked lovely in the dress she chose. ❤

[@idabernstein]

You’re not supposed to say “lovely!”

[@JM-er2yl]

These women are the example of true Southern ladies. Bride respectfully stood her ground while Mom & Aunt respected her decision, even if they didn't agree.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Yes. You can stand your ground and be civil.

[@dianehermann3342]

Well done Momma our babies have there own personalities 🦋

[@irumkhan3381]

That dress (first one) was absolutely gorgeous. But they all looked absolutely great on her. Stunning

[@brittanymcavoy2764]

I assume they will still preserve the dress. If any daughters are born into the family and would like to take on the tradition, they still could. This dress fit her personality so incredibly well. I am glad she stood up for herself and her family stood behind her and supported her decision.

[@GovenorMcLovin]

So the grandma was able to choose her dress, but all of the other women don't?

[@cocosurgerow]

Resourceful and honored Grandma

[@tamaramartin4015]

Great point.

[@jenniferrollison4377]

They chose to wear the dress.

[@lisafreebairn7736]

Some people love tradition.

[@rociohernandez5429]

And the money factor was a really big part of passing a dress.i been in few weddings in the bride recycle a dress I want to say is a great idea brides expend around 8 000 for a dress the shoes the veil I would like my daughter better use that money for a down payment of an apt o house I'm in a tight budget all the time

[@ambera7225]

My father in law taught me a joke about saying, "How Nice," really means F U. LOL😂

[@cybersylv]

When she said "there is nothing wrong with feeling sexy", I cheered her on! I'm so glad those women didn't dampen her fire and spirit! A woman's sexuality is a beautiful, fragile thing and keeping our confidence up is hard when living in this world. Mothers should empower their daughters in every way possible!! ❤❤❤❤

[@rebekah.2187]

I'm always hoping that one of these brides will tell their family, "Sorry you don't like it. I love it and I'm getting it."

[@onthedottedline1]

Such sweet supporters of this bride, even though they were disappointed about the heritage dress and the tradition. Way to go Team Bride!

[@lylakaghat9689]

“It’s lovely? Take it off!” 😂😂

[@ChristinaEhp]

What an extraordinary video of Say Yes To The Dress! It's so well done from the communication between the generations to Keasha's comments and Randy's joke about the meaning of the words 😂 Even though I'd not have chosen that dress, I'm glad the bride did. She has such a great figure that she can wear anything! 👌 Thank you!

[@PinkieJoJo]

So much hate for the mom but she came around. She saw her daughter look happy. It made her happy. Good grief people. Mothers can have feelings about tradition and what’s proper. She didn’t force her daughter to wear the old dress

[@bethfinne3260]

55 year old southern lady here, and the word "lovely" being an insult is news to me. Never ever heard that nor was ever told that. Still am very glad the mom recognized how happy her daughter was.

[@Marielysmarie]

This was a fun episode they had me laughing 🤣 specially the consultant 😂❤

[@janetdill9599]

What a lovely group of ladies. They are the personification of southern charm !

[@sherkylady7765]

Too bad they didn’t go see Lori in Atlanta. She knows how to handle these Southern Matrons. 😊

[@Justicia007]

These moms/aunts were wonderful!! Mom said I have to back Susan!

[@tld7846]

@@Justicia007 Yes, ultimately they were very loving and gracious in supporting the bride's decision.

Yet they did not need "handling". They were accepting and wonderful.

[@robinhartman6275]

That’s for sure 👍🏻

[@Sabbeltasche6215]

I agree with you

[@oldageisdumb]

That mother is precious

[@lindacrawford3539]

They see how happy and glowing she was in the first dress but they still ignored that.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

They came around thankfully. In the south women are brainwashed into being people pleasers. They pleased their elders and now expected the bride to please to them. I hate this culture! Of course be civil but be yourself too! and stop pressuring others.

[@azure52]

Everyone is so stylish in this video! Love the accesories and outfits

[@krystenhb]

She was stunning! Good for momma being a good momma!

[@Love-bo3df]

We just wear our great grandmother’s pearls and we wear our own dress, simple and all the men red the same 18k gold red coral cuff links ❤

[@thoughtsideas6929]

I’m so PROUD OF HER!!!! I would loose my mind in that family lol 😂 She’s also setting an example for other girls AND women in the family that they should be who THEY are meant to be. NOT cram themselves to fit into a dress/image of someone totally different!

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Exactly!

[@jeanettejeanette1199]

I love this family :) They really have that Southern charm

[@RevLeigh55]

Time to start a new tradition.

[@GrainneDhub-ll6vw]

You go, girl--it can't be a tradition if it is younger than I am--and I was born long before 1968!!! LOL

[@pu7273]

Ngl though, grandma's dress is really timeless

[@Alinasinging]

This mom is great and raised a really cool daughter ❤

[@kathrynsinclare8459]

I kept watching the mother in this episode, and I kept having strong emotions as I listened to the Mother’s voice over and over again, I”m thinking and feeling that I have heard this voice before, where? And then it came to me, she’s Robin Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire, YES! That’s it! 👋🏻🧑‍🦳😊💐

[@skxr2_x]

this is one of my favourite episodes on SYTTD and I do not have many!! - lovely bride, the entourage are respectful and sweet women. Although they have their own beliefs, seeing the bride happy is what matters AND THEY RESPECT THAT!

I love this girl!!! She is so confident in being herself!👏👏❤️

[@CaraStrong13]

I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful dress for her and it’s so suiting for Mexico. And her family (especially mom) is just adorable. Love the traditionalism but with space for change and acceptance and love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MicheleSchick]

She’s beautiful in the final look!!!!😊

[@ladytame1130]

Oh it's the "bless your heart" of fashion. oh it's lovely 😂

[@gnostic268]

Sorry but everyone in one family wearing the same dress makes it a uniform, like graduates wear and removes the individuality from the occasion. If a bride wants to wear a family dress that's one thing but pressuring the bride to wear the dress is weird.

[@Gabriela-jo7mg]

Good for her! And I am happy her family came along. That's love. ❤
