The consultant should come back to the bride with the proper numbers and double check that the higher number is something that they can swing if they do fall in love with the dress.

Cruel to do this to an Aunt who graciously offered to pay for the dress and the bride and Aunt had agreed on a budget. How do you think the Aunt really feels when the bride is essentially spitting in her face and saying that her gift is not enough? I understand it is the bride's day, but jeez, this was just so unthoughtful on her part. The bride should of at least consulted with the Aunt before she tried it on out of respect to the Aunt. It seems as if her entourage liked the first dress she had on and it was in budget. I worked in suit sales, we were taught if you could get someone to actually try on the suit, the sale was nearly a done deal. The consultants know this. The consultant should have done more to dissuade her from trying on the gown to begin with or warn her that it may alter her opinion on the other dresses she can afford..

She should be looking for something casual like a beach dress or something depending on the season. Spending someone else’s money and going over budget is just inconsiderate.

Happily tried on other dresses until my grandmother forced me to try that first one on bc it was the whitest (shes very traditional) and i had my bridal moment. It was stunning and perfect on me, none of the dresses compared even when i put them back on. The budget was 1k btw so this was a huge stress. Ended up finding out it was on sale for 2k, my parents discussed and agreed to get it and found out its discontinued, so i took the sample home for 1.7k and my grandmother pitched in ❤ btw i was 22 when i got married, theres plenty of other things i helped paid for for the wedding, but obviously super grateful my parents helped tremendously with the costs. Anyways, i just find it funny that my dress was the first one i set my eyes on

[@Sokolva]

I would be interested to see a psychological study on brides with overbudget dresses. I have a feeling, after watching these shows and just thinking about how humans tend to think, that knowing a dress is out of budget and in some ways out of reach only makes it more enticing, tempting, and more likely to cause emotion when tried on. I think this might be one of the reasons why so many brides that are tempted to look at and try on over budget dresses somehow end up "falling in love" with these dresses even when they aren't more beautiful or fitting than the ones within their budget. In fact, sometimes the more affordable dresses look better, or one could easily be found that is within budget that would surprise the bride. It feels like there is just something so tempting and emotional to many people about knowing a dress is out of your price range or too expensive for you that makes it seem automatically more luxurious, appealing, and tragic due to being out of reach. This would be a really interesting thing to have studied with placebos and everything--dresses that are told to the brides are "out of budget" when they are the same price as other dresses, and see how the brides reacts to these dresses.

She tells her family, including the aunt paying, that she would settle for the lesser dress because of the budget. She doesn't even make a case for her aunt/family to pay for the dress. An absolutely refreshing moment in a sea of entitled brats who demand others cater to them, but this girl is willing to say she'll take the dress she liked but didn't love over the dress she loved. And these comments are all over her for it? I, for one, applaud her for being grateful for waht she was offered.

I don’t think the bride was being sincere when she said she would settles for the less expensive dress. I think her face was communicating “please help me get the more expensive dress”. I may be jaded but I’ve seen manipulative people pretending to be humble and that is the vibe I was picking up with this bride.

@@kathyestes6577 sounds like someone is projecting their issues onto others.

[@kathyestes6577]

@@RPhillip Maybe. Or maybe she fooled you. We can’t know for sure. I’m old and I’ve observed manipulative women all my life. It can look very subtle. That doesn’t mean I’m right. You are most welcome to disagree. Saying I’m projecting wasn’t the nicest way to do that.

[@RPhillip]

@kathyestes6577 Well, then don't be protecting your issues onto others and you won't get called out on it. The only "evidence" to support your claim is your "experiences" with women. Something you don't have a monopoly on.

[@kathyestes6577]

@@RPhillip Whatever! Several other people picked up the same vibe as me. Are you scolding and judging everyone or am I just lucky.

The Aunt should back out of buying her a dress.

My mom chose to pay for my sister's wedding dress, and my wedding dress, as her gift to us....thus, I decided I wouldn't even LOOK at dresses over $1000...my personal budget was UNDER $1000....I found a drop dead gorgeous dress for under $800. There was NO WAY I was going to even present a dress that was over $1000 to my mom and expect her to pay for it. That would have made me sick.

That One Bride that was into the Maggie dress they were all talking about that. She tried on all kinds of dresses. She doesn’t look excited on any of the wedding gowns. She just doesn’t have that glow that most of the brides have even just try them on different ones you don’t get a big response from her. Does she really want to get married? It’s what I’m thinking. I hope the best for her. 🙏🌹🥰🐾🌹🙏

To those bothered by aunt’s budget, the mom made te decision to pay any difference. And you don’t know their situation maybe the bride has had a hard life and maybe she’s an amazing selfless person that’s why the aunts are so happy for her and want to see her happy.

[@pennwoman]

She’s not acting like an adult not paying her own way. Dress is pretty plain & ordinary for the price.

The consultant knew better but did it anyway. Randy should have told her about herself.

I hope she's there in the future when her Aunt needs her!
