I wish people cared more about what the BRIDE'S vision is and what she feels good in. I understand that people have different tastes and styles but come on... it's not hard to be respectful to the bride. The only person who will look back on the wedding 20 years down the line is the bride and groom, not the entourage so no need to be so damn opinionated ........................

[@TheGreatWerebear]

I'm just gonna say it: If you're willing to call off or postpone your wedding in the event you can't find the right dress, you're not getting married for the right reason. Weddings are great, but it's every day married that counts.

[@Lady.B0420]

My husband and I just got a justice of the peace. My dress was $12. It wasn't even a wedding dresses but that was okay because I just wanted to marry the love of my life. Our 13 year wedding anniversary will be next month. Sometimes you just have to do what makes you happy.

[@larawatrous4135]

I get what OP is saying but to be fair, barring cultural or governmental benefits, being married doesn't change anything. It's just a slip of paper. If they already love each other and are committed to each other, the marriage is just a public formality. Not to mention a good excuse for a party. If she wants it to be perfect and it doesn't damage her relationship, why not

It is an evidence that "Priority" lesson should be mandatory in education 😂😂😂

[@CrystalRuizEnriquez]

@@mohammadangginugrohomcjogja seriously. I mean, i understand wanting the dress to be perfect, because of course she wants to look beautiful, but that's different than the dress being more important than the actual marriage. And if the dress was super important, why was it left for the last minute?

[@mohammadangginugrohomcjogja]

@@CrystalRuizEnriquez I was confused like you as well. What the bride said was a bit difficult to understand. The dress is more important than the wedding. Therefore it must be 100% perfect. Yet, she waited 3 weeks before the due date, and appeared to seem surprised and disappointed that the store couldn't magically customize her dream dress in less than 21 days. See? Confusing!

[@Perfeccionista89]

When I told my mom what my vision was for a dress she agreed and took my ass to SEVEN shops to find the right one. She was on board and wanted me to have the bling and very long train that I wanted. She never truly had her eye on a different style for me even if I tried different types on. That’s what a supportive mama should be 👍🏼

[@annehampton5807]

The first bride, that first dress was stunning on her. She was glowing in it. How a mother could not see the joy in her daughters face,I will never know. I feel she just had the dress her mother liked and she thought was okay. Mothers, it's your daughters day, it's her dress, not yours, it not about you. Whenever you like the dress or not, you are there to give love and support. I don't care what dress my precious daughter will choose, only that she loves it and feels it's the one for her. ❤

When my daughter was picking her wedding dress out. I never never criticize her. What ever she liked I approve of her. She loved the 2nd dress she tried on. I loved it immediately. It fit her so perfectly as if it was made for her. Ive never behave like this mother and so many other mothers behave. Mothers says they're not going to be happy. Nonsense. The mother is not the one wearing the wedding dress. Mother is saying to her daughter. I don't like it. I don't like it. So mean. If you love your daughter don't ruin. Her day.

[@BasicYTHandle]

VERY specific requirements - THREE WEEKS before the wedding!?

[@kathe.o.]

Jennifer has the lovely Irish accent & a gorgeous modest gown for her wedding. Loved how bridesmaid Olivia supported her friend's wishes. Was very pleased 😊 with David's suggestions to "go on line, find the dress at the price you want, contact the designer to see if they can do it for you. If they can't, come back." 3 weeks was a straggle hold on time, but she looked lovely & her groom seemed flabbergasted & pleased. In their photos with the attendants in emerald green Jennifer looked like an Irish queen. Giovanni's comprise dress was so lovely especially for the destination wedding in Mum's homeland of Italy. Do hope that they fixed the top so it didn't gap. Little adjustments at the top of the zipper or just under her arms should do it. The gapping on strapless gowns breast is my biggest concern on brides going strapless. Doesn't matter if she is an A or a G, they don't need a gap.

[@LooselyGrope]

That's a Scouse accent mate. She's Liverpudlian not Irish.

[@a24-45]

Yes Jennifer's "Victorian" dress was so different, it was like a breath of fresh air on the show. I am so glad for her that she decided not to compromise her vision. I must say that I'm surprised at the comments suggesting that she should have seriously considered wearing something else, rather than call off the wedding. i get that some brides dont consider the dress is that important, and wouldn't care about the design, as long as the wedding went ahead ; but this whole show is about supporting brides who want the dress of their dreams. David supported her in that and didn't try to steer her into a second best choice, and I think that was the right response, kind and sensitive.

[@annedalton289]

That’s not an Irish accent 🤦‍♀️😂 It’s a Liverpudlian accent 🤦‍♀️😂
