[@treehouse2902]

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.

I agree. There's a difference between stating one's opinion when asked, and being controlling. That said though... they were right not to go with that lace top in dress 2.

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.

[@EngelavanWyk-t9u]

[@cyflym11]

The poor bride's mum spent a lot of time pursing her lips and looking away every time one of the groom's 'rules' was mentioned. I feels she's not happy but is trying to avoid a row because she knows she might not see her daughter again. 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.

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.

@@MBAinternetmktg It's more complicated than that because of the psychological implications of being enthralled to a narcissistic abuser. You lose your identity and everything becomes about pleasing that person because of how they manipulate and gaslight you. They devalue and chip away at you slowly. It's the analogy of the frog in slowly boiling water. You have no idea it's happening until your in crisis. Everyone around you may see it and try to tell you, but you dont' believe it. The best example today is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
