David is the only one that doesn’t side with the bride… (as far as I’ve seen) and stays realistic with the budget

[@valerielinares2068]

Bride says "I got the masks for the guests at $3.25 ea." YES! Get it girl! I'm proud of you!! I had to watch it again because finding a good bargain is so satisfying!!

[@barbtastad6393]

Me too.

Not to mention, they still had a fabulous wedding. She saved up the money, she knew exactly what she wanted.

[@Minkyb1978]

This wedding shows that when you have good taste, listen to your wedding planner, stick to the plan and actually save for your over the top wedding you can stay within budget

[@EwYoureCringe]

I love that she stood up for herself and her vision. There is nothing wrong with spending money on your wedding when you have budgeted and saved for it.

[@interestedobserver-gk3ih]

Yes she saved for it but I wonder how much the groom helped her save by covering the monthly bills? If so and he enabled her to save it is really their money.

[@OwlsEyelash]

Did you also love her rudeness?

[@evangelinegriffith8029]

@@interestedobserver-gk3ihThe wedding day is just the beginning. Is she thinking about the day after?

[@suewilson3553]

Well dearie what happens is it's called LIFE. Someone gets fired a company dissolves so one person's out of a job and now you have a $30-40,000 bill hanging over your head. Then oops somebody's pregnant... But we weren't going to have a baby for 3 to 5 years!!! People should just have small weddings at churches with very close family and very close friends. And they can make ia zoom out of it and show everybody else that's not invited. You will never regret saving money for a rainy day! I know been there done that!

[@sherickasunset5357]

@@evangelinegriffith8029 that's what I was wondering too... has she even considered that life happens after the wedding?... I mean its beautiful and all but it's a good thing her husband said no to some things cause they'd surely have gone way more over the budget.

[@sngray11]

This is one of the more lavish weddings I’ve seen on this show, and surprisingly, the first wedding to come in under budget! What an exquisite wedding and a lovely couple. I wish them all the best.

[@Jiminphoria]

The wedding looked beautiful. She was much more ready to compromise than some brides on this show, plus she was paying for the wedding herself which is a plus. She didn't seem entitled like some.

[@interestedobserver-gk3ih]

She is unique in this series bc it is usually the most demanding entitled rude wedding partner that has contributed the least toward the budget and makes the last amount of money. IMO they tend to overspend bc it's not their money and more importantly it will fall on their spouse to pay off debts incurred. They never seem to think about getting a second job to enhance the budget or to pay off the debt. There are somethings worth going in debt over to pay off overtime: school loans, cars, houses, etc. but IMO not for a one day affair that attendees will forget about in a matter of weeks or months.

[@MsJubjubbird]

the dancing thing was over the line. Some people do not feel comfortable doing that. Dressing up in costumes can be a step too far for some, let alone ones that they have to pay for and can't use again. Plus performing in front of a hundred people. Then she started yelling at them when they were doing her a favour

[@bootsie1212]

The couples dancing almost made me cry. That was really special. The dance came out super elegant. Very nice. Also, props to the bride for saving her money! Smart gal.

[@sharithompson1672]

I’m glad the wedding coordinator threw the “don’t speak until I’m finished” back at her. She was being a little rude and his response to her was a gentle reminder of that. Her attitude became more conciliatory and compromising with him after that which was good because he was being pragmatic to her “optimism” about the budget. She DID save up herself WHILE SHE WAS STILL SINGLE for it so.... go for it girl and use his help to stay in your budget.

[@november132]

I don't think that was rude at all, she just wanted to explain everything before the wedding planner responded.

[@ahench22]

As someone who is spoken over by every man in her personal and professional life, I myself have learned to say "I'm sorry did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?". I hate being spoken over. If you think I'm bitchy for reminding you not to be rude, you should know I think you're an inconsiderate person who thinks only they have input of importance. Wait your turn, it's not that difficult.

[@queenjohnson5097]

@@ahench22 You're so right! That's a good saying. I love this wedding planner but that was actually rude of HIM to butt in ALSO who even talks that way to a client.

[@me2cb488]

Great planning! I have to hand it to this couple, they both embraced fully the vision and complemented each other in terms of dream and practicality. It's a great partnership and David completed the triumvirate. I would have loved to be part of the wedding party, with the costumes and practices, though with a bit of stress, I'm sure they had fun.

[@annieorourke4822]

First time I saw a couple come in under budget and by far the BEST wedding I have ever seen...

[@charletarhodes1442]

Only a teacher could pull off such a creative in budget and beautiful wedding 🙂.

[@adrianakessler384]

So beautiful!💜. I think my favorite I have seen so far; and, compared to how some spend their $50,000 on a wedding 👰, I thought this one looked much more expensive than what was spent. Great job!

[@tl3uncut729]

I was amazed with the theme and the decor was perfect, the costumes, the dances. It was magnificent! I really love it. The bride is so smart! Lovely couple with the fabulous and talented wedding planner. The wedding was a grand wedding! 👏 bravo.

[@citticat2]

More like a "Venetian Themed Wedding" -- the best themed wedding I have seen in a long time also the couple agreed and worked together. And even though the wife paid for the wedding the husband for the most part went along with her ideas. Loved her dress and the costume theme. Loved the masks too.

[@meghanodonoghue9066]

Courthouse wedding, nice meal with family....and a down-payment on a house

[@MsJubjubbird]

I didn't like that they asked their bridal party to rent all that stuff for over a hundred bucks. At least if a bridesmaid buys her own dress she gets to keep it

[@angelaschaefer5883]

I did all that and we never had the money to buy house. We have been married for 25 years. Along with down payment you need good credit. Not everyone who spends less on the wedding ends up with money to buy house. My parents had big wedding and bought house.

[@bettyboop1524]

This was the most elegant themed wedding on your show. Fabulous! So many of the "theme" weddings ending up looking chintzy, cheap and awful. This be far needs an award.

So the family had to dress up in costumes for her. Make time to learn a dance they felt ridiculous doing. They were respectful enough not to tell her this was an extreme idea. The family is amazing. I suspect David went to a vacation after this.

What are you talking about? It was an amazing idea and it was their wedding so they can do what they want. If someone was uncomfortable they could've dropped out of the wedding party.
