If I were the bride's entourage, I would say _"No wonder you have such low esteem. Your mom never stops criticizing you."_ right in front of the mom and the camera.

[@opulentsapphire4123]

The mother is very controlling, her poor daughter (s).

[@trayciepitcher3098]

I think the mom is jealous of her own daughter. She looked beautiful in everything she tried on. I hate Mom's that think it's all about her. Guess what mom it's not your wedding. This may be why you have never been married.

[@lilpriestess]

Gorgeous in all the dresses definitley

[@esraayousef5643]

She is indeed jealous

[@DeannaBrownlee]

I totally agree with this. The bride looked amazing in everything. Mom needs to be told off.

[@fdm2155]

Yes, mom is definitely bitter. It's sad.

[@jessiejoseph1093]

The bride has perfect, beautiful and healthy shoulders. That strapless dress was beautiful, and beautiful on the bride.

[@snowysquirrel9790]

Exactly what I was going to say !!!

[@-streaminadream-5356]

abusive mothers are so exhausting

[@nate2759]

Yes, very much so.

[@patriciasutherland923]

Yes, I have one...she is 98 , I have cut contact--but I now that she is still criticizing me.... I'm 68 years old.

[@AniRSm]

The mother said "It's not quite what I'm looking for." at the second dress. GUESS WHAT, MOTHER, it 👏🏻is 👏🏻not 👏🏻your 👏🏻wedding! And even the "Well, I never got married, I never got to experience this, so this is the most important to me" like DUUUUDEE, stooop! 😢 It's just not about the mother, she should not have spoken to or about her child like that - ever.

[@melissayoutube]

Yep as soon as the mother said she was never married I was like “ooop, there it is!” That’s the reason why she’s being cruel

[@toomignon]

If mom had settled this bride would never have tried on the right dress. Moms know what their daughters' glow looks like in the "right dress".

[@melissayoutube]

@@toomignon no need to make a comment on “butch shoulders” though is there? The mum should look in the mirror at her own faults.

[@yannickh.1300]

@@toomignon I think she could have made sure her daughter didn't settle without being outright cruel. She's just jealous.

[@ladymassive7580]

I hope you'll never have children on your own. And if so, I hope you're absolutely loaded because your kids will need therapy. Lots of therapy.

[@melissayoutube]

The mum is so jealous of her daughter. It’s so obvious. The cruel comments about the daughter just make the mother seem so pathetic and miserable.

[@idawheat1333]

She looked absolutely stunning in that second dress

[@piabravo9045]

That was by far my favorite too

[@venusleong9844]

Fully agreed ❤❤

[@anamhirrodriquez2193]

The second one was stunning ! Gave her a beautiful shape.

[@janetdonald9801]

100% it was made for her.

[@lorim.1528]

I was just aghast at the Mother! How could you say such negative things to your beautiful daughter??! There’s a way to say I’m not a fan of the dress without putting down your daughter! Very sad.

[@aldimaven6070]

I thought the bride looked stunning in the 2nd dress. It made the most of her figure and was beautiful on her.

[@melatirahmiaziza7869]

Agreed!

[@littleone7404]

What a mother has no right at all to body shame Her beautiful daughter When in reality she needs to take a look at her self in the mirror

[@idalarsson4729]

I get that the bride wants her mother’s approval, but she didn’t seem to have a mind of her own. Mother’s that say things like; it’s not what I’m looking for, or I wore a princess dress when I got married and I loved it. Forcing their daughter into one. This isn’t about you!! Body shaming your daughter- really?! She looked gorgeous in all of the dresses!!💕

[@emilyevans6989]

This bride will be STUNNING. She’s absolutely beautiful to begin with, and the dress is perfect for her! Hoping she and her husband enjoy many many happy years together!♥️

[@sheryltaylor7181]

I can understand how the mom wanted everything to be perfect for her daughter especially since the mom didn't get a wedding dress experience but the harsh words are unforgivable. The mothers words/actions will catch up to her one day. I had a mom that was similar and I eventually cut all communications with her. No one needs such a toxic person in their life.

[@prissilou]

This young bride is beautiful, and would look great in whatever she put on. I actually thought the second dress was more flattering, but I suppose it's best for all to come together. I wish her nothing but happiness.

[@beckysimeone4882]

Too bad he didn't trick the MOM on the second dress (with the beaded bodice) instead of the last one. The last one was fine, but not near as flattering. Glad he figured out the Mom's brutal comments came from her past and not her daughters actual look in the dresses.

[@annehersey9895]

You are right! Any of the 3 presented the way he did the last one and I bet mom would have liked any of them. I too liked the second one! It was more unique and the sides were stunning as she had a great figure.

[@sutchristine]

💯 that mother is jealous of her stunning daughter. It was obvious how the bride was holding herself as she walked out that she has been abused like that her whole life!

[@hausofhanna5254]

The bride is a very pretty girl. I bet due to her mothers comments throughout life, she is lacking confidence... Fake fair, fake tan, lips, teeth. It is truly heartbreaking how close ones impact our perception of ourselves. I wish her freedom

[@abeach5420]

Yesss ... I too wish her freedom from what looks like life long quest to please her mum and hope her partner is not like her mum.

[@PinkieJoJo]

But honestly the bride looked fake too with all of her lip plumbing she’s had done. I will never get why young gala do such a thing.

[@svardm]

The bride-to-be has a perfect body. I preferred her in a dress no. 2. But she should just listen to herself, not to her mother or friend.

[@NehaPrajapati-gm4cs]

I think second dress was beautiful on her ❤

[@lisadavis4279]

She looked great in all 3 dresses. For me, dress #2 was the winner. Its a shame that she was not strong enough to make her own decision regardless of moms opinion.

[@ingrid7632]

To me, this was sad. That mother was shameful, how she purposely humiliated her beautiful glowing daughter. The first 2 dresses were perfect... better than the last one. I think the bride took the last one just because the horrible mother switched gears. The mom had so many physical flaws, and here she was projecting on her lovely daughter .. 😢

[@maryswanson9982]

That 1st dress fit like a glove.

[@quiseward9471]

Wow! I'm absolutely shocked by their opinions on the other dress. They look gorgeous 😍 on her!!! But I understand the bride wanting their approval.

[@junecleaver4099]

What a disgusting,dispicable woman that mother is . That poor girl,I feel so sad for her.She is so cowed by her mother. The mother has never been married? Gee I wonder why. Elly is so lovely,she deserves a better mother😢

[@kays3956]

she looks beautiful in every dress. What is wrong with her mom?

[@deniseandrews113]

Instead of not liking the dress, she's not liking her daughter. Mom's jealous because she's never been married

[@mlalfing]

I am always hoping these mums watch themselves back and see how horrible they are

[@caehlers]

LOVED her in the 2nd dress! Horrible mom...

[@emilylabo7053]

Number 2 was stunning Mom should of kept quiet.

[@paisana9378]

I just DO NOT comprehend the bride not having HER OWN opinion! SPEAK UP WOMAN!!!!!!!!

[@annehannah7139]

What a awful mum jealous of her own daughter who looks great in all the dresses especially the second one it was beautiful the mum knew it I hope she reads all of the comments and sees how bad she is

[@antoniajane5442]

Didn't like the bust line on the 3rd dress. The 2nd one was perfect.

[@MDeLorien]

What a awefull mother ( i've the same 🙄) She looked absolutely stunning in the two first dresses. Number 3 was ok and the veil was not nice in my humble opinon. But, that's my opinon 😊

[@cs8906]

Pure jealousy on mum's part

[@MDeLorien]

@@cs8906 100%

[@nate2759]

I was inlove with the second dress. The mum is so jealous of her daughter, it’s disgusting. My mother would never act this way.

[@horses2by]

Send her Mother outside, soooo RUDE !!!!!! Ellie looked Beautiful in ALL OF THE DRESSES 🤩

[@danielreher1987]

Tan should have kicked the mother out of the appointment.

[@mariesmith1616]

The bride is stunning but she has a bad posture possibly because she’s afraid of her mother.

[@nate2759]

Yes and she had no confidence because of her narcissistic mother always making the decisions for her.

[@findyourpassion8722]

I was thinking the same.

[@pcamp865]

I love that Tan addressed the mom's need to see her walk down the aisle and balanced it with caring for the bride.

[@elsyepelupessy8885]

I just felt sorry for Ellie that her mum is so negative toward her. The 1st dress was nice, the 2nd dress is stunning on her body. I just don't understand why her mum does not really appreciate her daughter's beauty. I am glad that at the end, Ellie found her dream dress and be happy.

[@yvonnemccullaghward361]

Found it was so surprising that the focus was on whether the mother liked it and the bride did not even got to share her opinion until the mother said she had not married and realised it really was her wedding in the mothers mind . So wrong.

[@Loveofdolls2570]

That mother is vile , and totally jealous of her daughter

[@suemankins1692]

I love this bride!!! Adorable!!! I pray she’s very happy!!!

[@b.walker5955]

Kim K. totally DESTROYED the priceless Marilyn Monroe dress when she wore it to the gala. It is completely in shambles. ~ This bride is stunning in this dress.

[@hennykatz-moryoussef1716]

IMO this bride looked at her best in the SECOND one

[@deniseandrews113]

Loved that one!!

[@costelloandlizzievolk2233]

The mom was behaving awful, if that was my mom I would tell her to correct her comments or leave. Not ok.

[@user-qy9rt9cy2b]

Hese a lovely kind man

[@marilynumstead6100]

Her Mom is horrid, your daughter was beautiful in every dress she put on. You are jealous of your daughter, grow up!

[@pennylehrer1306]

That mother must have been bullied, cause that's exactly what she's doing to her daughter. SHE isn't getting married!

[@me.e_0225]

The mom being: "It's not quite what I'm looking for." Just says it all.

[@stapleskeri9811]

The bride is so pretty😊❤

[@gdevries5425]

Her whole life getting criticized by mum. She is damaged by it. Look at her body language. She walks all bent over. And she is So beautiful. Stand up to her!

[@janetdonald9801]

The second dress was stunning on her ❤❤❤

[@katherineh.9379]

That third dress was absolutely perfect on her! The other ones not so much...

[@katysummer9418]

A long time ago a female sales person in a bridal store said to me "Don't bring your best friend to a fitting often times they give bad advice because they are yealous" I think she is quite right knowing how women are but that may apply to mothers as well.

[@Leafygreen123]

Hee mother is jealous. What a horror of a woman. She should be ashamed of herself.

[@tips_and_tricks_for_life100]

That first and second dress were stunning on her. She's actually curvaceous. Mum needs a care filter.

[@erinjaynes]

Mom with her basketball face has no right to rag on her daughter. Her daughter is stunning! And so is the other daughter. Just precious!

[@deniseandrews113]

Anyone surprised that the mother has never been married?? Nothing worse than passive-aggressive viciousness

[@angrydonutface7420]

The bride is stunning but seems insecure, and I can see exactly why with a mother like that!

[@eliser9776]

Mom needs to rethink her hair before dishing out the critique. It would be nice if she could say the dresses look nice on her even if the dress is not the one.

[@mfb6310]

That 2nd dress was gorgeous! On her !!! (Girl pull your shoulders back, you have nice ones, don't slouch to hide anything!)

[@DLSydor]

Stunning ❤❤

[@brendabuser7903]

Who's wedding is it !!! 🤔

[@sherrymason2275]

It's her wedding not mom.. plus she's rude 'mom

[@gailcollins2397]

Her mother is so critical to the point of downright nastiness

[@cmills53]

Beautiful dress but mom it’s not your wedding!

[@justsayin8893]

the second dress was the winner

[@lisahall9226]

This mom is a confidence buster. The daughter will not even stand up straight and put her shoulders back. A true sign of a lack of confidence. Shame on mom.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Here is exactly why I did not take my mother with me to find my dress.

[@gentlestorm322]

She looks stunning in the wedding gown. When I shop for my wedding dress, it will only be me. I don't need anyone's opinion. My wedding, My dress!

[@sandyjohnson8927]

She looks gorgeous in every dress....beautiful figure.

[@susanwills4723]

Darling you are gorgeous in both of the first two. You choose your dress it’s your day not your mum’s.

[@bluewolf2708]

Is the outside where Leverage Redemption was filmed? It looks so much like it to me 😍

[@juliejohnson1481]

This is why you move FAR AWAY when you get married.

[@antoniajane5442]

The lips are the first thing I noticed!

[@fannyflamant482]

This girl is absolutely gorgeous and perfect! Mom shut shush!🤫

[@mariegarside8830]

Thank goodness someone stepped in to give that dreadful mother an idea what she wad doing. The bride was beautiful in all the dresses.

[@DemonaLlama]

These are my neighbours. They cut out ELLIE starting the conversation about her shoulders! Mum is not one bit jealous of her daughter. She's just a bit gobby. She's like this all the time and tbh her daughter gives it back. They've edited this to make it seem something it's not. Ellie is adored and spoiled by her Mum. Hazel's SO proud of her daughter and loves her so, so much.

[@MademoiselleHnub]

Mom was hella jealous 😂 dang

[@newfee1967]

I feel gutted on the mother's reactions. She is just a beach. Proves this mother is jealous of her own daughter.🤬

[@kerrynwood729]

pfftt this mum is gentle compared to mine....some mother's are just brutal

[@1Kaileegirl]

When the mother said "it's not what I'M looking for" I felt so bad for the daughter So selfish

[@PinkieJoJo]

I know I’m just repeating this sentiment but wow that mom was horrible. No wonder this bride was so nervous. I cannot even imagine how the mom acted at the first store.

[@jessicat2519]

It is a shame that when Tan confronted the mum gently about her behaviour, the friend kind of defended the mum's behaviour.

[@robynrowlands6279]

❤

[@christinebrument6851]

How can mother s be so cruel.

[@liznicolas272]

This mom puts knots in my stomach

[@Pusheenqveen]

Jealous mothers are teenagers forever.

[@clairelangley9934]

Mum is a horrer

[@sherrymason2275]

Mom you're rude.. It the brides day...

[@facetwit99]

shame she can't get herslef a new mother that's not jealous of her

[@lynnmoser6918]

Mom needs to look in a mirror and consider a haircut...woof.

[@deniseandrews113]

And she's the one with the "butch shoulders"

[@sidrah5540]

Its almost as if the mom is jealous of her

[@natashanewyork2112]

Why doesn’t the cameraman show the dress top to bottom not just her face?

[@valeriemarott1923]

The dress she chose looked the WORST on her! All the others looked amazing on her! But she was happy and that's what counts!

[@fdm2155]

The mom's pathetic in her bitter jealousy.

[@dcmc7383]

What a horrid mom. To raise a child as a single mom, only to undercut that relationship due to such obvious petty envy. There is NO question why mom never married. None. If I were the daughter, I’d elope and never show mom the dress.

[@teriwood9657]

That mother is horrible. No wonder the daughter has low self esteem, it seems.

[@robynmurray7421]

Mum fancies herself as a comedian. Sadly she's not funny and doesnt realise that the comments she is making are unhelpful at best and hurtful at worst.

[@johnruthnoel2289]

Glad she isn’t my mothet

[@carolsmith8482]

That mother is horrible.!
