Proves that just because the budget is big it does not guarantee good taste.

[@kieraethan]

That pink reception dress is shining example of your astute statement!

[@Jo-yp8wy]

15 year old needs to zip it. They're all so spoilt it's disgusting.

[@patmccoy8758]

They should have left the 15 year old brat at home!!

[@naturalPaths]

Leah: I just felt as if I was in someone else’s dress.’ You were: you were in your little sisters dress.

[@MsJubjubbird]

It's a lovely dress but it's something her sister would wear to prom, hence why the 15 year old liked it

[@emman6941]

Even more spoilt, winey entitlement in the sister. Heaven help the poor dad if she finds someone brave enough to take her on in a few years time

[@harleen8645]

Ngl the prettiest dresses I’ve seen on all the say yes to the dress shows are the ones that are around $2000-$3000

[@jemmaj2919]

The lady in pink thinking she's unforgettable makes you laugh. So many ppl think too highly of themselves when hardly anyone remembers them twice

[@tidycats151]

If I saw anyone wearing that combo of monstrosity it would be memorable. The hideous gowns that is. 😂

[@cknodel56]

She is only unforgettable because she's so absurd.

[@reneehubbard9027]

That pink dress is hideous

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I agree and hate arrogant people like that. Her dresses are expensive and ugly. She made her husband pay too. How rude and self entitled.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@cknodel56Yup and if people do remember her, it is for the wrong reasons.

[@MC-qb1jg]

I love Randy. He is so diplomatic and absolutely puts everything in perspective.

[@mariesmith1616]

The lady in pink will be unforgettable for sure for spending $7k in a flamingo dress!!!!

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Yes, that dress was beyond ugly and ridiculously expensive. I wonder if it was a Pnina?

[@jb6712]

The thing would have been that nobody at the wedding or reception would have known the prices of the dresses unless bridey announced it a few times, and not even Ms. "Unforgettable" seemed classless enough to do that. The flamingo comparison is hilarious, but demeans a bird that's more elegant in its simplicity than that gaudy gown was in its "glory."

[@RufanaDenmark]

Paying this amount for a dress you're only going to wear once, is ridiculous.

[@widow237]

💯!

[@zuzuspetals8323]

“Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.”

[@obi-wankedogi]

I actually rented mine! It was still $500 but it was a stunner! ❤

@@cknodel56 huh?

[@linamarie84]

Wow lol " im the type a person who people meet but don't forget" 😂😂😂😂😂 Wooow just woow

[@mariesmith1616]

Probably true because of how weird she is.

[@laurarebb6923]

The arrogance. Trust me, I already forgot about her dumb, haughty ass.

[@brendagibbs2665]

The last brides dress was unique, I have never seen 1 like it. Beautiful

[@lucyquinnell3204]

My wedding dress was £50 and I have no regrets. I am glad that some people can afford complex dresses so that designers and makers of beautiful fabric, beads, patterns, etc. can continue their craft, but it's nice when there is a little humility and gratitude accompanying that. It's a very rare privilege indeed to ever get to wear a really beautiful, detailed garment, and so good when that is appreciated.

[@Fazerella]

My dress was $400 with alterations! I couldn't imagine spending so much on a dress! That's some people's entire wedding and honeymoon budget!

[@trudy__taylorandjorjamummy]

I know right!! Think my dress came to £1000 in the end, it was £600 for the dress, but I had to have it made bigger as I found out I was pregnant lol

[@MsJubjubbird]

There was a dress on this show that cost as much as yours, with two zeros on the end. It looked like a bathrobe with 3D flowers printed on it.

[@embr4065]

Mine was $180 at an outlet store. It seemed to work, though, because here we are 33 years later! 😊

[@jingerjar1365]

I had a beautiful vintage dress 80.00

[@RufanaDenmark]

It was probably more beautiful than any of these dresses.

[@widow237]

❤

[@ellekay4758]

You did it right. ❤️

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

When was this? Yes, I have seen very nice dresses for good prices.

[@heula1]

More money, less taste.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Always complaining about rich people. Poor people don’t have good taste either. lol

[@robynmurray7421]

​@@thehungrygoldfishThere are just as many poor people with bad taste as rich people with bad taste, but rich people have more opportunities to flaunt their dubious choices.

[@obi-wankedogi]

​@@thehungrygoldfish Someone got their fee fees hurt. The brides I can remember seeing who spent much ended up looking a hot mess. Huge implants, over tanned and desperately in 'love' with a disaster dress. Happens over and over.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@obi-wankedogi But that’s not every big budget bride and again being poor doesn’t mean you have taste either.

[@obi-wankedogi]

@@thehungrygoldfish Who said I was poor? It's not about being 'poor' when it comes to alternatives. Its smart.

[@dccd4]

Who cares what her sister thinks

[@naturalPaths]

Bride 2: ‘lovey, lovey?’ Uhhhh.. red flag, hubby

[@naturalPaths]

Bride 3: how many times have we seen this dress? ..and at what price point?

[@MsJubjubbird]

It's Pnina and she gets special promos in the show. Plus brides.come to the store looking for her gowns. It's probably the most conservative one she has

[@monicaramos4692]

Some Pnina dresses are hideous

[@ashleyolney3092]

Spending the amount of money you could buy a pretty decent car with or a down payment on a house for just a wedding dress is literally insane. I don't understand it.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I agree and I would save the money for a house, car or even honeymoon. Why spend so much on a one time dress?

[@jb6712]

Adjusting for inflation between this episode's filming date--2007---and now, that second gown ($14,600) would cost somewhere around $22,000 today. I don't understand it, either, not when that would be a terrfic financial start to married life if it was money in the bank...or better yet, to her father's retirement fund, seeing it was he who was buying the dress.

[@ashleyolney3092]

@@jb6712 Holy money batman! That's nuts. That would be a huge financial start to a marriage! You're absolutely right! So many better things could be done with that much money.

[@user-dy7yz8mc5f]

Little sis is on a power trip! Little sis has to remember…..It Is NOT her wedding!

[@cherylmartin5029]

I love Randy ❤

[@MsJubjubbird]

The first dress is basically ten grand for a set of curtains you'll wear once

[@jb6712]

Indeed! That ugly selection would range anywhere from $20,000 to around $25,000 in 2024 USD. This episode is from 2007, and my inflation adjustment is from a site online, so I didn't get exact amounts, but still, that's a significant amount of money!

[@udhaya1srinivasan198]

I guess It's great if you don't have to pay for it and it comes from another's pocket.

[@udhaya1srinivasan198]

That poor father didn't like all the boob show of the wedding dress, he didn't like the price tag for that trashy dress yet he acquiesced.

[@CathyDoherty-hr4mx]

The little sister is a pain.

[@embr4065]

I love love love that last dress and its 20s style. It looked great on her also!

[@flynryder9998]

£10,000 budget and they’re still over it.. crazy

[@AshleyxVlogs]

The pink party dress was so cute!! 🦩

[@charlieblackrose]

I love the second bride's confidence! Her white dress was really nice, and while I don't care for the pink, she did actually look awesome in it because of her confidence. The other dresses though were bleh both in terms of style and because it's so disrespectful to breach someone else's budget.

[@ladyjustice1474]

$1000 is too much to spend on a dress to wear only once, $10,000 is obscene.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Yup and my former friend spent $1000 on hers and got it on sale. She already thought it was too much.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I can understand 1k if you add in alterations/modifications and tailoring to your size. But for a base price that's too high

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@MsJubjubbird Oh yes, I forgot about the alterations and all which boosts the price up.

[@nancymckinley3068]

To choose a dress because an obnoxious child likes it is really stupid.

[@lindacarruthers3423]

Boy oh boy, that sister🥴.That family😦,Poor Papa 😳

[@megamiet1210]

Solve this problem by buying your own dress! I did and still love it.

[@annagui8450]

The first bride that first dress 9,800 for that plain dress is crazy

[@tinac.2671]

I love pink, but that can can dress was too far out there for me. The blingy Pnina has been overdone 10,000 times over. It’s not unique.

[@mariaferreras4369]

Anytime bride says I want to go eat eat lunch and think about it. They never come back.

[@9094nancyj]

Just think what you could do with that money instead of buying an overpriced, only worn once dress.

[@ain1289]

I thimk pnina’s dresses are very overrated

[@BasicYTHandle]

They are garish & ugly.

[@missshihtzu09]

I think Pnina's dresses are awful. So tacky. Lazaro is way better if you want to spend a bit. Pronovias is the way to go if you want unusual dresses!

[@laurarebb6923]

I agree. Overdone and overpriced.

[@kaypoling66]

They all should be ashamed of themselves for frivolously spending that amount of money on a one and done dress!!

[@thereseremus6849]

I thought the satin dress with pleated skirt was perfect for her.

[@mariesmith1616]

Absolutely the best. Elegant and timeless. It was the best for her by far.

[@ArwenUndomiel406]

No matter the budget, I really get the impression that Kleinfeld has only five to six different types of dresses in their store (with very little variation between them).

[@dracofirex]

Might also be that brides keep choosing the same six dress types over and over despite wanting to stand out and be unique 😂

[@naturalPaths]

Leah knows: Big Red Flag for her almost husband.

[@noellarash367]

15 year old sister.. needs to butt out🤣

[@margueritemoore-zl1nw]

In a few years' time, Father will have to go through it all again .with darling Dana. Oh joy

[@katieg271]

That $7000 pink dress was a damn joke 😂😂😂 looked.like cotton candy. She DID NOT pull that off.

[@mariesmith1616]

Her friends really had to swallow hard not to laugh at her. 😂😂😂

[@donnasmith517]

I would like to know 2 things: are these women who went over their budget that much happier, and if they had to pay for it, would they still get it?

[@BasicYTHandle]

And what about the costs of alterations, veil/headpiece, shoes, jewelry, hair, make-up, etc.?

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@BasicYTHandle Oh yea! My sister in law’s sister spent $400 on just make up alone. Her shoes were only $50. She bought her dress second hand for cheap and the resold it. She put more into her wedding then the dress for sure. She wore 2 dresses instead of 3.

[@Tea-nOpals]

Oh no! Not Dana! I had an instant SYTTD flashback and it wasnt a favorite.

[@jebsmith323]

Agreed. Like she knows anything.

[@alexr4151]

Yes, I saw Dana and immediately skipped ahead. She was so irritating the first time.

If I was the parent I'd be handing 'the dress' down to each daughter 🤣

The kind of person you meet and don't forget... If you are not an essential part of my life, I'm going to forget you.

[@dracofirex]

I already forgot about her until I went down to the comments lol.

[@CathyDoherty-hr4mx]

My wedding dress was $175 in 1981.

[@BasicYTHandle]

Mine was $190 in 1978. If thrift stores (& rentals) had been prevalent then, I definitely would have done that.

[@donnahart823]

@@BasicYTHandlein 1973 my dress was $90.00 and my veil was $125.00. It was custom made to match the lace on the dress. I thought that was a lot of money too.

[@user-kz5fj7rf4i]

[@AFAskygoddess]

That first bride's black Chanel handbag cost over $10K, so paying $10K for a wedding dress isn't surprising.

I have an issue with that price tag in general but I don’t understand that cost and a tulle skirt.

[@strangeflamingo326]

I went to Europe for a month long tour for less than these women are spending on a dress they will wear for 8-10 hours!

[@BasicYTHandle]

8-10 hours? More likely 4-5 hours.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Yup and I would rather put more money towards other stuff rather than a one time dress.

[@carmensantiago921]

Wow, people are just crazy 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I wonder what these brides do with these dresses after the wedding? It is even more sad when they make others pay so much for a one time dress. They are so selfish and self entitled. At least they can pay themselves if they want it that much.

[@katherinesmith6116]

Why are brides not choosing Randy's dresses they're gorgeous

[@TsunamiJuri]

To be fair to the first story, Dana (the little sister) has a good eye and amazing taste.

[@jeniferclemente1252]

Just not a good eye on the price tag. It’s easy to forget that when you look for someone else and are not the one paying for it. Let alone wearing the dress. She put her sister in the frying pan with that dress and made her leave without a gown.

[@user-ws2mz9gr4t]
