Older Bride Renews Vows After Tragedy At First Wedding | Say Yes to the Dress UK

[@MsJubjubbird]

"As her family have agreed to chip in, I don't feel bad about stretching the budget" Since when has David ever felt bad about stretching the budget??

[@cyflym11]

'Chipping in' implies a sensible contribution if the dress is slightly over I feel, not doubling the original budget.

[@jeanesingsjazz]

He could’ve given that couple a discount on the price since it was their golden wedding anniversary.

[@kcallamajaji]

David didn't stretch the budget a little, he almost doubled it. Not to mention the additional cost of the alterations he was talking about. I completely understand why she walked away. Now she can find that dress at another shop much cheaper or find something similar. Very lovely lady and family. I would love to see footage of their renewal.

[@triciag3311]

That dress was not "just over" the budget. That being said, it was gorgeous on her. What a beautiful couple and I hope she decides to get it. I love the whole family.

[@dietotaku]

yeah exactly, it was DOUBLE her budget. i really think she could do better, she just needs to stay away from the overpriced reality TV boutiques. she could probably even find something secondhand for a pittance and be able to make all those customizations and still be in budget.

[@hayleymarie5976]

yeah i hate when they do that to a family esp them being so sweet. she looked lovely and sad to hear what happened at her first wedding. her children may have offered to pay to be apart of her big day in some way and seeing their mom love and wear something that fits her would make any child happy to pay she’s so humble it’s great to see, i wish her the best.

[@andien8760]

The kids were happy to support her and chip in to get her a dress she loves and feels special in. They probably had a private chat and offered to help bring the budget up to $1200 or $1500.

David is such a predatory salesman. He doesn't ever respect budgets and has the audacity to call double the budget, "just over"

[@EtreTocsin]

To be fair, I don’t think they have much in that budget

[@annedalton289]

Brides go in with a budget but the dresses within the budget are not what they want ! The style they want are more expensive ! SO it’s not David who goes over budget !!! Brides go in with lemonade money and want champagne dress 🤦‍♀️

[@tigerlily515]

@@annedalton289 I get that, but then it's up to the salesperson to set expectations for what the client can and can't get with that budget. Meanwhile David puts her in a dress double her budget (seemingly without telling her, based on her reaction) and then nonchalantly says it's just a bit over. It's just disrespectful.

[@shirleybarnes3559]

I agree a bit over the budget wouldn’t be nearly double and hundreds of £££££££ more

[@remove574]

David doesn’t have a clue, he only thinks about making people dig deeper into their pockets. Lovely family, loved them.

David should pay the difference by himself.

[@lindap8101]

Oops……when the cost of what she’d planned is doubled.

[@BasicYTHandle]

@@lindap8101 David: "As her family has agreed to chip in, I don't feel bad about stretching the budget a bit." Everyone else: DOUBLE in not "a bit." Also, he doesn't ever seem to feel badly about "stretching the budget" ALL THE TIME.

[@melodied4314]

David did it again. Budget was 800 pounds and he "didn't feel bad about stretching the budget a bit." 1513 pounds is quite a stretch! She left in tears and disappointment, without a dress. Shame on you David!!

[@Izz0017]

I agree! Instead of respecting the budget and trying to help this lovely lady have a great experience, she left disappointed and empty-handed. I hope she finds a great dress at another shop.

[@pw-sz6ds]

I agree! He should not have done that.

[@megachaffer]

I agree, plus she would have needed alterations. He rarely sticks to their budget :(

[@rachelcookie321]

I know the daughters agreed to pitch in a bit but that’s almost double the original budget! That’s a lot of stretching.

[@cyflym11]

The more I see of him the less I like him.

[@O-Demi]

Oh, I absolutely love how the children said that they would also pay for the dress, and also how she was like, "No, we are the parents and we're paying so let me think about it." I hope she accepts her kids' idea because that dress looked gorgeous on her!

[@leannecanty8821]

"His 'just' is different than mine!" I agree!

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

A ~little~ over?! Twice the budget. With the suggested additions it will be at least £2,000, and that’s before alterations. Call Auntie Gok!!!

[@danielledenis5160]

Twice the budget!!!!

[@velasciraptor]

What a lovely woman and wonderful family. You can see how much, even after 50 years, they still adore each other and they've obviously raise excellent children together.

[@zabindhanji]

I really appreciated that the children wanted to step in and contribute to the dress. However, she didn't want them to and I greatly respect her decision. She did look lovely in it. Wishing them many more years of wedded joy and happiness.

[@bev9708]

Lovely to see such a supportive family wanting her to have a special day. At the same time, it's not "just over budget" David, it's double!!!! And then it will cost even more too with the changes he's talking about! 🤦🏻‍♀ This store seems to do that a lot!!

[@sarahr4231]

I couldn't agree more! Also if they really wanted to sell her this dress, they could have went and talked with the manager and tried to arrange a discount for her. I've seen them do that for other brides, especially Gok does it pretty often. She's a special bride 💕 David needs to be more realistic about what the average person can afford.

[@geridegurski2085]

As soon as the dress price was double the budget, I felt she would hesitate. I hope she found something beautiful within her budget.

[@bookbag6432]

Never tell David Emmanuel that you can stretch the budget. That was their first mistake.

[@cyflym11]

I thought that as soon as they said it!

[@jae6506]

I would’ve been frustrated w/ my mom or gma if they didn’t let me help make their dream come true; but then, you have to respect their values and positions. I wish she would’ve gotten the “yes moment”, yet she seemed more than content to just have the experience. Beautiful woman through and through✨

[@nicolethemole4156]

"JuSt oVeR BuDgEt" what BS, it's TWICE the price. They don't even check if she's ok with trying the dress on first knowing the price. They just surprise her at the end once everyone has been trapped into loving it. And be SURE that the alterations he mentioned are going to cost extra on top.

[@JValGen]

I actually really liked the off the shoulder look on her, she’s beautiful and I hope she found a beautiful dress to match!

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

This was a big day for Ann and George but particularly Ann.. she is a proud woman and although her children were willing to pay for the difference in the dress, it was very hard for her to let them pay for it because she’s proud and her role is to take care of her children know them take care of her. Also I think she was very tired by the time everything was done and over with and she wasn’t going to make a decision without her husband. I wish we could’ve seen the wedding.

[@aaaaaeiou]

That dress is not the right style for her. Off the shoulder does not look right on her. The first dress looked better, except for the back. I am sure there was a lighter weight dress in that style WITH a back, somewhere in that store. This woman deserves better than simply throwing some lace on the shoulders. I think she knew it too.

[@mariamartinezvalle7866]

My heart goes out to them. Ann deserves this experience and the renewal of vows with her hubby🥺

The elderly couple was just so sweet. That's true love. I felt so bad when she didn't say yes to that final dress. It was made for her.

I understand her reservations but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the kids pitching in for their parents 50th. That doesn’t seem out of the ordinary at all.

The “ Bride “ understands a budget at this point in her life and does not want to burden others. My husband and I have been married 52 years. We are now on a fixed income so I can understand this “ bride “….for the price of that dress she and her husband could have a nice night in a hotel, dinner and show and she could walk away with a very beautiful outfit to boot…, or they could take the family out to celebrate at a nice restaurant and still get a new dress that she could wear out for special occasions. Remember not everyone is rolling in money.

It's too bad David didn't reduce the price! Persons of her generation generally feel very self-sufficient.

I hope that you had a joyous 50th anniversary renewing vows.
