Groom buy Brides' Wedding Dresses! | Don't Tell The Bride | Season 5 💍

[@kateyare4708]

The second bride is getting a real prize for a husband. How ingeneous of him to enlist the help of her best friend to pick out her dress. He is smart, considerate and an all-round keeper.

[@elizabethmenegon8057]

You mean ingenious?

[@lizhooley6726]

Totally agree

[@alkahinat4558]

Just left a comment saying why don’t some of the men consult women who know the bride, glad to hear someone did It’s really not hard to be thoughtful and I think that’s the issue here-not necessarily getting it wrong, but not being creative enough, in getting it right.

[@lizhooley6726]

I’m in tears with the second bride,when her best friend showed up.

[@lillybilly9954]

It’s easy to criticize these women but some of them aren’t just disappointed, they are realizing how little their fiancés consider them for the first time.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I don't think it's than the guys don't consider them. It's that most men don't place such value on things like expensive fashion as women do and therefore don't understand the need to spend so much on a designer gown r have any idea what their partner would want for a dress. They have not been conditioned that way

[@traceylovespyrex]

@@MsJubjubbird No they are simply selfish. The brides told them what they like and better yet what they dislike yet some of these no hoper blokes just bought what they like themselves with zero consideration for what the bride wants. I see divorce in many of their futures, especially the poor girl who's selfish other half bought the ridiculously hideous fairy dress with a wand. That moment would have cemented the end of our relationship for me.

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@traceylovespyrex No they don't The brides get zero say in the wedding. If women are so materialistic that their relationship hangs on what dress they wear, then they're probably not mature enough to be getting married

[@jennifer3735]

​@MsJubjubbird mate, do you know how long a girl takes to pick the right dress? If your partner knew you, then he would get it right. I mean have they just met each other

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@jennifer3735 men know about women's clothing like women know about their cars or sports; unless they have a particular interest. And not all women take that long to pick a piece of fabric they will wear once

The fishing boat guy was HORRIBLE. Saw it as HIS day. And it will be - standing alone at the altar....😂 😂 😂

[@ashleighpyke]

The second bride didn't expect her best friend Rosie that her groom organised a surprise for her and look how happy she was when she gave Rosie a hug

[@emmalouisesutton565]

These grooms have definitely been told by their fiancées what kind of dress they want. When they ignore it , the hurt is because the guy didn’t care enough to get something the woman wants

[@christinemctaggart7869]

Agree, no thought pattern.

[@Anna-Rose-]

The first bride is right, that dress is hideous. That's the first dress I've seen that would've made me cry. 😂 Then I'd have laughed at how horrible it is and got married in it if it wasn't possible to exchange. The other one she tried on is gorgeous and she was absolutely beautiful in it.

[@traceylovespyrex]

If it wasn't possible to exchange, I'd go buy a big cape to cover the whole hideous thing then get changed into something decent the second the vows were exchanged. Personally though I'd never marry someone with so little regard for what I like.

[@GrannySkeksis]

It doesn’t get much worse than that one

Made me giggle when she said "what a monstrosity" and she was so right!

[@marieparrott7944]

What amazes me is how the grooms to be have NO clue what type of dress their bride to be don’t like!! They would of obviously talked prior to this programme, and yet to chose something so out of the box is madness….. My hubby has no dress sense at all ( bless him) but he knows for sure my dream dress…..I do feel for these ladies, as they must feel my future hubby knows NOTHING about me at all….😩😩😢😢

[@GrannySkeksis]

Same! My partner knows my taste even though he may not understand fashion. I know he would make an effort to find something I would love

[@AH42AH]

Pretty funny seeing my exact dress show up. Glad it was one the bride liked! 😂

[@sladjanarakita6352]

The last bride really wronged her girlfriend, the dress was really beautiful and she looked stunning in it.

[@amandashare1281]

I felt so sorry for Anna at the end, she was sure her wife would love the dress but she didn't Sometimes in a relationship it's all about give and take.

[@kthylupavid]

The dress Anna picked was GORGEOUS and the dress the bride picked was horrible! That weird thing on her belly looked tacky! sometimes your partner does know what´s best for you! :( She was so sad :(

I’m in agreement with the first bride on the first dress. It was a joke and hideous

[@sterntaler64]

Alice... "studied fashion and gave it all up.." 🤔Nothing can compensate for giving up her dreams ☹️

[@ElaAusDemTal]

My thought exactly!

[@doriskoons531]

It’s more than a dress. It’s the experience. My friend stayed in her marriage for the first fifteen years by getting out the photo album and reminding herself how she felt on that day. It renewed her commitment to their dreams when things got difficult. These traditions and rituals are a foundation for the future. They are still married today with grown children and grandchildren.

[@GayleDuckworth]

It's really interresting and enlightening to witness the differing reactions - some are reactionist, some are reluctant to put a foot wrong some are totally elated, some can turn a negative into a positive on the spot.

[@fieldsofgreen8857]

I think the bags are better than some of the dresses!

[@emmawalters3581]

What baffles me, is they decided together to sign up for the show, how in the hell are they not even on the same wavelength? Im getting married to my other half in june, we've been together over 20yrs, and all the decisions have been so easy because we are aware of what we both like and dislike and where necessary have compromised on little things for each other, but overall weve been on the same page for everything. Surely, before signing up, you would discuss what would be ok and what would be absolutely unacceptable, so at least it could land somewhere in between!

[@stacieroddy8564]

The entire premise of the show is the DRAMA.

[@emmawalters3581]

​@@stacieroddy8564yeah I get that, but surely the grooms understand if they've f*cked up. And I understand it's a tv show, but why would u willingly risk the one day u want to be perfect and memorable, there's lots of things that would be acceptable as not being what u want, the flowers, the venue, the decor....etc but the dress most men understand it's significance and importance and like I said, surely u would have talked before hand and at least gave him a general idea of whats ok for u and what's not.

[@sterntaler64]

I agree. Commumication is important. Happy wedding day for you and all the best for the future 🌹🍀❤️🍀🌹

[@stacieroddy8564]

@@emmawalters3581 yep.

[@295868]

I asked the exact same question. I too been with my man for 23 years and we are finally marrying in September.... I can honestly say I trust him implicitly. He knows me better than I know myself half the time. Like you say there will be little bits I will have done differently sure, but overall I know my man would nail it! But then that doesn't make for good tv does it?

[@CherieDeDieu]

The 1st dress is literally the worst I have ever seen!! It's just cruel for the groom to choose that joke of a dress! 😏🙄

[@Rebecca_Bailey]

I thought it was a joke to be fair. What kind of person chooses THAT as a dress!

[@notyourordinarygran]

I wish these brides would remember the dress they are trashing is stock to the shop. It may not be their taste but there is no need to call it tacky qnd cheap in front of the shop owner.

[@sillycookie1982]

Was thinking that myself. They are very rude. A beautiful dress can look tacky on the wrong person just as some people can rock a potato sack like Marilyn Monroe did

[@lunalexington4464]

Exactly.. so glad others think the same! Spoilt .. if you want the dress you want don’t sign up for the show.

[@Hdhsjsjho]

FOR REAL THOUGH

[@lindalucey9874]

The shopkeepers do not love every dress. They buy many different styles of dresses knowing that there are many different brides, all with different tastes.

[@GoriBeringeifan332]

It might and should have been a wake-up call, but I'm sure the producers would always find a shop with plenty of bridal montrosities.

[@teridougan1333]

The woman who hated the satin dress was so difficult to please, how would her fiancee ever hope to get it right? And then to make her parents pay the additional $600!

[@traceylovespyrex]

she told him she hates satin. He knew she hated it yet that's what he picked. She is far from difficult, she just lowered her standards in the groom department. She'll do better next time.

[@hurricanejaney]

@@traceylovespyrexi’ll say a lot of the grooms on this show don’t seem to know the difference in materials. he probably didn’t even know what satin was. but that’s why it’s better to ask the store clerks questions rather than flying blind, which most of them are wont to do

[@gottahavethatfunk]

Surely these men have spent hours watching tv while she is looking at Bridal magazines. "Look babe, look at this dress"

[@sterntaler64]

Mam was right: "Poor Luke!" I guess it's not so much about the dresses - his bride simply doesn't like to get married 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nadinehealey790]

I get that someof the brides definitely come across quite obnoxious but i couldn't imagine the heartbreak of seeing how little the msn i loved cared about my feelings. Some of them make such a joke out of the whole thing its kind of saddening to watch thrm realise theyre about to marry an inconsiderate man child

[@snahg2356]

Like the selfish fishing guy. She will always be second fiddle to his selfish need to go fishing or do whatever HE wants

[@donnatozer9099]

Did the groom get food for Sarah's wedding, does anybody know? If I knew the episode I'd go and watch it to find out. Loved the second bride - she was so over the moon with her best friend turning up and then the dress. So nice to see a very happy bride...the groom did good. OMG, I'd walk away from a fishing themed wedding.The groom was totally selfish. It's about both of them, not just him or her but both.

[@BarbaraGonzalez-g1i]

I’m sure he did Tacos anyone ?

[@carolsurridge4087]

Not that she is being rude like some brides….BUT, if you want the free money that is what you signed up for….you want to pick your own dress, then don’t sign up for the show. I find this so unfair to all of the other brides who just excepted the dresses.

[@kyrythkessler1316]

Agreed. I would've never let my husband choose my wedding gien. Although come to think of it, I let my mum choose it. I take it back. He'd have done a better job 😂

[@trudimclaren4301]

I totally agree! I would wear whatever my partner chose, no matter what (I have a sense of humour too!) - if you sign up for this, you shouldn't get an 'out' to wear another dress! I love fashion and clothes (too much!), but if you're going to agree to let the groom choose, don't put on a sulk and refuse to wear it!

[@CanMoose]

Yes, I agree. The brides attitude is depressing

[@BarbaraGonzalez-g1i]

I hated the first dress I’m glad she found something better . I don’t understand the selfishness of some grooms not understanding that women are unique . The bride with pockets was my favorite really nice . The 4th bride with satin gown was heartbreaking . Why let him pick I love it when it’s the bride who chooses . It’s ridiculous .

Oh my, the fresh fish will be delicious. Yum. I didn't see that episode, but it looked like it was going to be an absolute blast. And I'm sure it was.

[@traceylovespyrex]

I'm sure HE enjoyed himself immensely since he organised the entre thing around what HE likes. He states she hates boats and hates fish yet both are part of the wedding and that on top of the hideous dress he chose. She really needs to be a no show at the wedding.

[@Devghost]

Sounded horrible tbh

[@Linylove777]

This show made me realize how self people are when planning a wedding. It is either her wedding or his wedding. There is not a single episode where they stopped to think its our wedding. It is supposed to represent both of us. Specially on the bride’s side. They just think about what they want. Never even take into consideration the groom’s plan or vision when looking at the wedding dress.

[@juliearmfield2634]

Well she is the one wearing it.

[@RoseTylerxx]

If a bride doesn't feel comfortable, it will ruin the day! My husband wouldn't have picked the type of dress I wanted(and I knew that)so going for this show wasn't an option-and we got married on a very tight budget(I got my dress online from a high street retailer that had an occassionwear section). I felt comfortable, secure in the fact I looked beautiful.

[@1loquaciouslass3]

You're quite correct. It's all about me, me, me. It shouldn't matter what dress he picks, but that he took the time and effort to pick something he thinks she'll be beautiful in. After all, isn't he the one she wants to be beautiful for?

[@sterntaler64]

That's the way I feel it, too. They had plenty of time to talk about the dress before signing up for the show. At least some of the brides loved the dress when wearing it 😍

[@traceylovespyrex]

@@sterntaler64 That's why they girls ARE upset. They DID tell them what they liked and disliked and the selfish grooms ignored what they were told and bought what they liked instead. Women think about everyone and want to make everyone happy, most men are the opposite.

[@dorcaswatson4873]

And the girl who hates and doesn't like anything. Should just walk away and let the poor man Luke who put his heart into the dress find his real and appreciative princess somewhere else. I had to pass this bit. I seriously dislike negative people. Me included. Grrrrr

[@GrannySkeksis]

How can these women still marry these guys who put in zero or minimal effort to their wedding. A day that means everything to a lot of women. If my man was as inconsiderate and selfish as some of these grooms I’d call off the wedding. I would completely trust my partner to plan our wedding because he knows my style and taste and knows a nice wedding would be important to me. Not some cheap joke wedding. For me this show is a test of whether or not you should actually marry someone because it exposes who that person really is. All these guys cheaping out on the dress, I know my partner would spend the money just to make me happy and ensure I feel beautiful on the day

[@emeraldeyes3338]

[@Sacheen81]

For women to complain about their future husband's "not knowing them" because they didn't choose the right dress is ludicrous. How many women (the vast majority of us) spend weeks, months, sometimes YEARS trying to pick their perfect dress. So if their guy really put effort and thought into their choice they need to give them a break! It's the guys that are more concerned about their bachelor party, "stag-do", trying to be funny, or just not caring that much about their future wife's feelings that should REALLY give them cause for worry...

[@Bec3Bec]

[@catladyfromky4142]

1. Jo and Al have a different TV show now. They probably don't have a bridal salon any more. 2. Jo and Al had a plus size boutique. They didn't have dresses that were normal size. Their expertise was not into fitting regular brides. Would you go to a Jaguar car salesman if you wanted to buy a Kia?
