So he's waving all kinds of red flags in your face by being opinionated and controlling. Then he sends his mother to do his bidding. The bride denies the family the wedding tradition to keep the drama away from her event, and her mother is heartbroken about it. What's wrong with this picture. She likely chose to elope to stop the drama between the two families. When Lori said, "mom, is this breaking your heart," the camera panned to the daughter's face, and she did not look happy. I think she had it out with her mother about the eloping thing. This is not a way to start your married life.

Even the bride had a sad little moment when the future mother-in-law said "he'd like something a little more form-fitting" but then she said she didn't like the dress. I think she was covering up how she really felt. I've got a bad feeling about this marriage, at least for the girl anyway.

My ex had rules for me, he already decided in his head what I would be wearing, from hair to veil to dress to shoes to make up. I asked if he would be wearing something I liked (did not even know what yet, but I thought of a lengthy dark coat, kindof over-the-hip length and some decorative subtle details on the shoulders) but he said he wanted to wear a shirt, jeans and a tophat and run into the altar (not onto...into) on chop suey. My suggestings on veil (double veil, a very-seethrough one in front of my face) and dress and shoes and hair, he felt were stupid and ugly. He also hated the music I picked out and told me not to hold a bouquet. I never married him or even get engaged.

Right, it's one thing for him to give you an honest opinion if you ask. Like, I'm not a big fan of poofy ball gowns. It's quite another to have a list of rules for your bride's dress (barring modesty rules for a religious venue, such as shoulders must be covered in some way). My boyfriend always says that I should be comfortable and happy with what I'm wearing, even if he is honest about things he finds particularly attractive.

I never even asked my husband-to-be if he had an opinion on what sort of wedding dress I should go for. It wasn’t up to him. Likewise, I didn’t choose his suit.

So basically this bride is not allowed to have her own opinion! It starts with the wedding dress but won't end there... He will be even more controlling once she said 'I DO'. And the mother knows her daughter is so much involved with him that if she would say anything her soon-to-be-in-law will ensure she won't see her daughter anymore. So sad.

If a man cares that much about the details of the wedding dress I’d be worried he’s either controlling or gay. Either way, it’s a red flag. My ex was super controlling and abusive and he had a lot of opinions about what I would be wearing if we got married. My current boyfriend would marry me in a potato sack and would barely notice the difference.

If he loved her he would have said sweetheart, whatever you choose you will be beautiful in it. I am marrying you not the dress.

[@kathyabraquet578]

Exactly! If she doesn’t like it now, just wait, it’ll double or triple the misery. His Mom is just as bad. You saw the brides face not being too pleased when his Mom brought up the rules. I’m as nice as the next woman, but I don’t think I could had just sat there and not said a word. Her and I would have a come to Jesus meeting in a private room. Surely her Mom has to see what lies ahead for her daughter.

Somehow I don't think they will manage to choose exactly the right dress. Trouble coming.
