To the one girl, it's 'I hope the dress is cheap enough to buy my bride's maid dress.' A really nice one I sense. Why do brides have to bring so many 'friends' with them? It's her choice. Not theirs.

[@bethm203]

When she put on the second dress I said out loud 'WOW! vintage Hollywood glamour'. She looked stunning!!! It was nothing like a nightie, and this is coming from someone who hates chemises and slip skirts as outerwear 🤷‍♀️

[@DawnWilson-xh1eb]

her friend was just jealous of her figure..

[@Justicia007]

I didn't think it looked like a wedding dress but it was a beautiful evening dress

[@Justicia007]

@@DawnWilson-xh1eb No way.... Her friends didn't like it as a bridal gown and I didn't either. It was too plain and kind of boring

[@madeleineschreiber9969]

It was too plain. The first looked better on her

[@angelbulldog4934]

Honesty minus compassion equals brutality. Be honest, but be kind.

[@CandraJade84]

Exactly. You don't have to say "You look ridiculous in this dress." "It doesn't suit you" is honest, too.

[@angelbulldog4934]

@@CandraJade84 Yes! Finally, a kind person. 🌹

[@GabyPivet]

But they weren’t being homest. They were lying to her. She looked way better in the other dress. They were jealous they could never pull off a dress like that

[@D2J8]

I’m convinced that David Emmanuel only asks “what does your man do?” so he can figure out whether the fiancé makes enough to pressure the bride into upping the budget… 😒

[@redchic]

The second dress was made for her. Classic and elegant. I can only imagine that it was unrecognized jealousy that caused them to deny what was the best dress for her.

[@Justicia007]

I hated that dress. Very plain, and Not very bridal

[@camelabell3140]

I actually liked the second dress. She looked stunning and it didn't look like no pajamas but anywho the first dress looked nice on her and within budget so it was a win win for her.

[@brockreynolds870]

Second dress looked hard to walk in. She was walking like a penguin

[@sohailape]

[@gracielou1407]

Question: did the entourage really like the first dress, or did they like the price, leaving more money in the budget to spend on their dresses which the MOH virtually stated? The moral of the story is if your budget is tight, and you are paying for the bridesmaid's dresses don't take them bridal gown shopping, because self-interest can play too strong a role. Honesty is always welcome when seeking advice, but IMO brutal honesty is never acceptable whether it is sought or not.

[@felliesweetie]

The bride of honour shot down the second dress because she wanted more money for her dress.

[@brendadesmond6573]

The second dress was the vintage glam she wanted and she looked beautiful with the perfect figure for it, but she looked very uncomfortable and stiff walking in it. She looked just as beautiful in the first dress with a princess vibe, and I think she will have a better time at her reception dancing in that dress.

[@ThePrInCeSs910624]

Wedding dress goals: in budget, stunning and approved.

[@beccitatefitzjohn7804]

She looks like a vintage screen siren in dress no.2

[@pinaspadaro4595]

I loved the second dress on her. She looked stunning. How ever the first dress she looked very comfortable and happy in it.

[@alisonfraser8231]

That dress is magical and looks like it was made for her. What a score!

[@isasantos8577]

What people don't get is that it's not about what flattens you best, but how you feel. I agree, the second dress looked so much better, she was looking soooo pretty, but the bride's face just brighten with happiness in the first dress. The second one is more flattering, but the first one is the one she loves and make her feel pretty, so that's it

[@GabyPivet]

She was only persuaded, because the entourage gaslighted her into buying the dress

[@LindaBarham]

It's not the brides responsibility to buy the maid of honor dress.

[@krisjackson5967]

I liked the 2nd dress except for it being too tight. My dress was $50 in a sale. Had 12 happy years together before my darling husband died January 2022

[@vessaj4482]

Sorry for your loss.

[@christinemason2938]

Her friends are nuts. That 2nd dress is beautiful and perfect for her.

[@ladyjustice1474]

"With the extra cash she can buy me a really nice bridesmaids dress" 1: that comment is beyond rude. 2: the bride needs to tell her, it's not her money.

[@JodiLeaSnakeQueen]

Time stamp? For some reason I can't find it. Must've missed it

[@elisebeall8686]

In England, most of the time the bride pays for the bridesmaid’s dresses. So, the comment doesn’t seem rude to me.

[@catwoman1256]

@@JodiLeaSnakeQueen it was at the beginning when they told the price of the first dress. I was thinking the same thing… if you see your friend is struggling with money you need to come up with the money for your own dress.

[@MDeLorien]

I agree with you 100% .

[@PopFizzPaperDani]

The bride said she wanted to pay for the bridesmaids dresses, did yall miss it? 1:33

[@adrianapotoroaca2949]

When did this fixation with "brutally honest" opinions start? You can easily give your opinion without being brutal

[@sumiller1850]

Though the 2nd dress was stunning, she didn't look comfortable moving in it. Honestly, I couldn't see her dancing, eating and enjoying herself in it.

[@sindymitchell7227]

I'm actually hoping she spends that extra money on herself and not on that selfish maid of honour how dare say that it's not her wedding

[@gooberfries6692]

Both dresses were stunning on this beautiful bride. The second one made her look like a hot bombshell, but it was too stark white all over without a delicate statement piece in the front. It was gorgeous to me though. Wish the friends wouldn't been a little more supportive about how beautiful she looked in it because she seemed a little deflated by their comments and turned up frowns. You never want your friend/family (Bride) to not have a super exciting time trying on gowns they totally slayyed in.

[@Grace69B]

She looked stunning in the second dress. The friends must have seen this. Why they did her like this?

[@Justicia007]

Not everybody wants to look like Marilyn Monroe on their wedding day. I did not like the satin dress at all.... She felt more like a bride in the other one.

[@stargazer0480]

Second dress was absolutely stunning and perfect for an older second bride. I don't understand why they hated it so much. But the first one was lovely, better with the belt tho David.

[@justcogitating]

She wore a perfect necklace for wedding dress shopping.

[@agnes15101968]

Just look at how Agnetha beams at 3:00 as she talks about her friend, how fantastic she looks. She apparently loves her dearly 🥰

[@Megan-vd8li]

Her friends are sooo jealous . The second dress is perfect no one can deny that

[@Justicia007]

Don't be so close-minded. Yes all her friends and the bride and myself all can deny that the satin dress was nicer. People can have different opinions.

[@Lomojo31]

Second dress looked totally uncomfortable to move around in

[@rebecca2583]

they liked the first dress bc it would give them room in the budget for nice bridesmaid dresses. of course it’s nice to get a more affordable dress, but i feel like they were overly critical in order to sway her decision

[@sepg5084]

Why are videos nowadays always "brutally honest"? Is "brutally honest" more honest than "honest"? If so, then that means "honest" is not honest at all.

[@mazmellem2773]

Brutally honest is honest without tact, and therefore often rude.

[@shirleysenkler781]

She looked beautiful in both dresses but just as little prettier in #2.

[@honeymcdonald9120]

I don't like the MOH but she's not wrong - the 2nd dress was awful.

[@fee_beezz]

oh wow the second dress was so much more sophisticated

[@debbiereed5359]

Loved first dress.

[@heidicook2739]

The second dress does not look like a nightgown. 🙄

[@somebody7070]

There HAD to be a level of jealousy or VERY bad taste for them to not like that 2nd dress on her. She should have come alone def pleased the wrong " fashion" opinions here

[@gab6918]

Jealous and not friends. She looked stunning in the second dress. It was a beautiful dress. First she looks nice but too busy nothing compared to the second one.

[@rachel2earth]

I want to give this girl a hug.

[@miladydewinter7770]

She was a knock-out in the 2nd dress

[@sn.m]

Lovely bride, beautiful gown, great honest friends who genuinely love her.

[@lyssedwards2028]

I feel like no one liked the second dress because she looks so great in it 😭 Jealous family members are the worst. If they were supportive she would’ve loved it I bet.

[@mariaclaudia.3884]

They are not family members, they are friends !! And they are supportive for the one they thought look nicer on her. It is a show they put on music and do the whole thing to make it look dramatic, but there was nothing really rude or abusive about it.

[@lilydiallo594]

I usually don’t comment very much, she looked lovely in both gowns. The second one, for me was not bridal enough, but if the bride liked it, she should have picked it. Your entourage should be there for support, not to put down. The bride should ultimately decide what she wants, regardless of what anyone else says or wants ❤❤❤❤

[@josaphine9422]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Just stunning 💕 wishing her happiness ahead ❤️

[@SandraHof]

Excellent choice!

[@Maz-zb9uf]

Sorry the second dress is nightie really I think the friend said that because she can't full it off herself 🙄

[@nehakhan2141]

The bride looks amazing in second dress but I think bride is under strict budget and she even didn’t try other styles … the only reason to be happy for all ladies was low price dress.

[@debbiee6535]

Oh my gosh that thing looks gorgeous on her yes the first one was cute cute but this second one wow that is definitely her and I usually get a 10/10 by picking the dresses

[@D2J8]

Should’ve tried on some more blinged out mermaid styles…The ball gown with the high neck made her look juvenile, IMO

[@ayshamuhammad5315]

She made the right choice the 2nd dress isn’t really like a bridal wedding dress anyone can wear that

[@GabyPivet]

No, actually not everyone can wear that dress..Only a petite, slender bride can pull off that dress and she looked amazing in it. Her entourage was jealous of her.

[@4Dye]

The second dress was way better than the first

[@alineang9701]

I thin kso too i really loved the second one on her but i wonder if her friends wanted her to sponsor their bridesmaid dresses hence the adamant rejection

[@ayshamuhammad5315]

Please it’s a wedding not some evening party the dress she chose is a perfect wedding dress the 2nd dress isn’t so much of a bridal anyone can wear something like that so yh the first dress for the win🥰😂😂

[@brockreynolds870]

You're totally right. Second dress is a beauty pageant dress, not a wedding dress

[@leorobin832]

The first one is very beautiful and I like it the best on her. While the second one was a very nice dress it was just too plain and boring and it just didn’t make her shine. It’s looked fine on her but it wasn’t anything special.

[@steveniabaldridge-welch7080]

I see theses shows & know there are far more other types of dresses & amazes me how they only choose from 3-4 dresses when there’s multiple styles & embellishments available & like they just settle. I’ve seen many other shows where women say they really didn’t like the original dress & go back to shopping for something they saw somewhere in another bride or in a magazine to replace the original dress they ended up not liking! Money down the drain! 😢

[@hayleytovey9479]

I personally tried on about 50 dresses 🤷‍♀️ I don't understand how they decide between so few choices either. You only get to try on all those amazing gowns once so why not take your time picking the right one?

[@Justicia007]

I totally agree. These shops seems to limit the bride to trying on a couple of dresses only, at maximum three dresses. It would be nice to try on a few more than that

[@Purplekitty274]

Cheaper dress but how much was the veil and tiara ? Lol

[@C0rvidC0rpse]

the second dress was much better imo, it was a perfect base to “bling up”, the first one is very bling heavy at the top but unbalanced on the bottom

[@calikiwi]

Wow I’m with the consensus, the first dress is pretty but boring, the second was glamour to the max and looked like it’s been made for her!

Just wondering having already had children has she been married before? As I always thought in my old fashion up bringing that you don’t wear white or too bridal if you see what I mean I liked the second dress she looked stunning in it if only I had her figure lol.

[@morrisdancer11]

I love all these bridal programmes but I'm confused about the amount of expectation with the dress. The groom has seen you "warts and all" . The money is an enormous factor for most average people. Whats it all about??
