I will now be using the "I don't like the energy" excuse for all the social engagements I want to get out of.

[@msartgirl]

I’m going to use it at work.

its not you, or your partner, its the material you chose

The mom may be a little eccentric, but she’s not unkind.

[@nimeryaspawnbrd1049]

the mom may be eccentric, but this girl is consistently referring to herself with a pluralis majestatis... I'd say eccentricity runs in the family here... 😅

[@Sophie-lg4ic]

is it rude for me to maybe think that the mum is on the spectrum? i don’t mean this in any negative way! she’s very creative and i enjoyed her personality. i was just wondering if maybe she way

[@isabellawilson3948]

@@Sophie-lg4ici agree!

[@carrollkuemper]

@@nimeryaspawnbrd1049 It doesn't help that Peter (the consultant) uses 'we'.

[@Opinionakadatruth]

They’re different and I’m feeling it 😂

[@ysbyttybedbug]

The mum was a hoot. And she was right about the other dresses, even if she had an unusual way of describing what she didn’t like. A lovely family and a beautiful bride.

[@pearlvongpusanachai5942]

Agree!

[@uk4482]

Tru even though the second dress wS GORGEOUS..IT Was too much to tk in

[@spirosmith1389]

@@uk4482 it was really beautiful but kinda gives off matronly vibes. maybe not for a young bride

[@cindyweaver6785]

Exactly my thoughts lol.

[@EH23831]

Cracking me up - “I don’t like the energy it’s bringing” 😂😂

[@rebeccaernette1749]

This mom is not what I was expecting, she's kind when she talks about the dresses on her daughter. She's so thoughtful, and I love it. She's so kind hearted and her hearts in the right place. I love mom's like this. She's honest but kind about it

[@hectorsmommy1717]

She also kept an open mind. She had an idea of what she wanted (not too much skin) but was open to interpreting that in many ways.

[@silentbliss7666]

Proof that a bride doesn't need to bring a whole village with her to choose her dress. Just two very important and supportive people in her life is enough :)

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Yep. It was just my mom and my best friend with me when I chose my dress. And it was always about what I wanted to try and what I wanted to choose. Not "some of us want..." This or that.

[@user-sn4of3ew6k]

It was just my Mom who went with me. I didn't want to invite a bunch of people and my husband's family because they are very opinionated.😂😂

[@hectorsmommy1717]

My niece took her mom and best friend/MOH with MIL getting photo text updates. All she wanted and all she needed.

[@lavaunjohns7796]

Her mother held back what she truly felt so her daughter could make the decision, not her. Then she did what every mother should and she embraced her daughter's choice.

[@amstergal]

So many comments about her Mom, but I actually liked and appreciated her way of "sensing", of describing things as having an energy about them. I understand about the one dress she describes as being exhausting. She's also sweet and sensitive, I think and feel like she and her daughter have a beautiful bond. Maybe a little intense but means well.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I agree! We expect the bride to get a “feeling” when it’s the right dress. Mom was doing the same thing.

[@sabeenshahjehan8522]

Can this mom just be in every single episode as the narrator!! Like she’s amazing 🤩

[@timeforchange6818]

That was the most caring, controlling Mother I have ever seen. Such a beautiful dynamic between the mother and daughter, and what a wonderful mother-in-law; so supportive without judging the mother. These three women are going to have a blast together when there are kids born into the family..

[@wandertree]

That mom is hilarious! She marches to her own drummer. She's great. :) Gorgeous bride.

[@dancingoctopus9888]

It seems to me that the mother is atypical in some kind of way, her daughter understands her, and they love each other very much.

[@wandertree]

Well said. ♥

[@mayberry9557]

I picked up on the same thing with mama ❤

[@michellegamboa6100]

I see it too, lovely how they communicate

[@kelliazzam1594]

The mom is definitely neuro divergent. I totally get where she's coming from.

[@Joo313]

I clocked that instantly.

[@miranpadilla3395]

Mom was definitely not afraid of speaking her mind, but she was also right most of the time and never said it in a hurtful way which I think is so important

[@shellykevinbaumgartner7612]

Mom is like a SNL skit and I mean that in the cutest of ways. She's adorable. This bride is so sweet and her mother-in-law is so supportive ❤

[@zabindhanji]

I actually loved the first dress. It was simple, the shape was incredible and the way the fabric was draped was special.

[@bookmagicroe9553]

Personally I loved the first dress and how it fit. All it needed was a sparkly belt and some jewelry.

[@sakeaburidon]

me too.. i like the first one

[@jessicahitchens6926]

It was far superior..

[@l.alexandra5871]

She looked great in the first,very simple gown

[@lovelyshirl]

I agree!

[@lukeloova4706]

Yep - most flattering for her body type, and elegnt

[@kathryn2334]

Exactly. @@lukeloova4706

[@susanminck8036]

Could have added an embellishment to it. The dress suited her body best.

[@Parice244]

it looked great on her, but I agree that it was just a little boring. Then the next dress was detail overload lol!

[@yvonnec6449]

The look on the mother in law's face when she was going on about the dress's energy!

[@marinam.2293]

It was interesting to see the mother-daughter dynamic in this one. Mom is a little eccentric, but she means well; daughter wants a dress that makes her happy (naturally!) but is very respectful of her mother's feelings and intuition. And what a sweet future mother in law! Nice family.

[@CA-wh3yf]

I liked the mother and daughter bond. The mother noticed how the bride liked the dress and she changed her mind. Let´s be honest, the bride didn´t look really excited in the other dresses and I guess the mother noticed it.

[@Kat-zj5kd]

the first dress was a stunner - so classy and beautiful

[@Osteen529]

I love that mom! Breath of fresh air and funny too.

[@lesliecruguet4136]

The look on the bride's MIL when the mom was describing the 'energy' of the fabric was priceless LOL

[@Mystearicia]

The mom was eccentric but in a funny way. The way she described the dresses were right though after she explained it haha

[@tracyscott1629]

I really feel like Mom sacrificed her own feelings for her daughters sake...and that's so sweet! 💜🖤💜

[@AGM-ts5bb]

Yes, the second one was too busy.

[@KickedMangoStudios]

Peter is a great consultant! I'd love to see more male consultants on shows like this!

[@HazelAshleenFitness]

How wonderful and beautiful is the bride? How much does she get her Mum with such a beautiful bond? How amazing was it that the mother-in-law was just there embracing and accepting? 🥰

[@sheilalopez7498]

The mother-in-law, very sweet, respectful and wise!!

[@AniWatX]

I think we should be kind to the mother. We don’t know anything about her and she probably was suffering some kind of nervous tension. Her daughter is beautiful and her mother in law to be is very kind and supportive to both of the other women.

[@leoniephillips8781]

I think the mother was on the spectrum. She did really well considering

[@mayberry9557]

@@leoniephillips8781I had the exact same thought with mama ❤

[@amidthephantomsrose]

​@@leoniephillips8781I was thinking that or ADHD. My sister in law has ADHD, and the way the mom described the one dress as being overwhelming and exhausting is exactly how my sister in law would describe patterns that are too busy and visually overstimulating.

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Exactly, people can be so mean. We don't know her personally or what she may be dealing with

[@HopeWren]

lol this is an example of how autism is definitely a spectrum! I’m autistic & people like this drive me a little crazy (not because they’re not nice just the extra-ness). But you can see that she really loves her daughter ❤❤❤ P.S I know they never said she was on the spectrum but it’s fairly obvious

[@pinkycat0123]

What a sweet family and lovely bride. To those who make critical remarks about people's personalities, please remember that the people involved may read your hurtful remarks. And your comments say more about you than the person you are criticizing.

[@dommyschuuby3609]

I’m glad I gave the MOB a chance and kept watching, because she’s a supportive, unique, loving mum and I found myself agreeing with many things she said! 😂❤

[@bellaendale7174]

Mum needs to be hired to do dress commentary 😂😂

[@KristinaBenoit]

I liked the mom, and she was right.

[@naturalPaths]

Ok, no I myself am being ‘that mom.’ 😬 I prefer the first dress! Custom add some bling if you must, but keep the dress (preferably as is).

[@debbiemarquis3231]

Her mom is hilarious

[@ladyjustice1474]

No matter how politely mom words her opinion, she needs to remember it's not her wedding. She's not the 1 wearing the dress.

[@neen42]

Double-sided tape prevents lots of disasters!

[@LeylaDiaz-jx2rj]

[@automobile_vroom]

I was so shocked to find out how funny and nice the mom was about the dresses she didn't like and how she asked how her daughter felt about the dress. We need to see more moms like this on this show.

[@euroze]

THIS MOM IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL 😂❤

[@burkabrigade]

The dress she was so ready to try on that she saw over and over again on the website (5:20) is NOT the dress she wore (no long sleeves, not a ballgown).

[@rivertam7827]

Yeah why leave that in the edit if they're not going to show the dress? Weird editing choice

No matter how politely the mom voices her opinion. She needs to remember it's the bride who's wearing the dress, not her.

[@wandertree]

She did.

[@grytlappar]

You need to remember that the bride brings people to the appointment for their opinions.

[@isabellemunguia9208]

This is how a mom who loves her daughter reacts, not like other "mothers" I've seen on the show, she had her own ideas but she cared about what her daughter wanted too

Why did they put the buttons with such an obvious zipper? It should have a side zipper.

[@lwaliz]

Yes, the zipper should be completely hidden. One would expect better tailoring on a wedding dress.

She should have left her mom at home. wow.

[@ChristineAustralia74]

It the bloke tryna set some type of trend with the undone tie🤨🤣

[@Sujowi]

Yep, tie is so unstylish…but I didn’t notice until I read your comment. I think I’d assumed it was a tape measure or similar.
