I don’t need to imagine it, unfortunately it did happen to me. I went from a size 7 to a size 16. Both my parents couldn’t even stand looking at me. In there eyes I was some sort of monster that had eaten there child. It took 3 years and I went down to a size 12 I was so comfortable in that weight, but that was never good enough! Over the years I came to be my biggest at size 18 and now I’m slowly creeping down to a size 14. I do not own a scale too scared to even look at the weight number. Told my parents to kick rocks about my weight. My husband of almost 20 years has loved all my sizes. That is what counts for your partner to love you unconditionally!

But if the person is paying for the dress, maybe that person should get an opinion. If they think a certain style or silhouette would look nice, maybe it can change the bride's mind. If the bride brings people to her appointment, she is WANTING their opinions.

[@KVeren]

Mother's rudeness aside, I'm heartbroken on so many levels by the fact that this woman hated her first wedding dress so much that she wasn't even happy walking down the aisle. I love these episodes and it's fun seeing women find a dress they love, but the failure to find THE ONE dress shouldn't ruin your wedding, and certainly not to the degree that it would even be a factor in the need to go through all the expense and drama of having a second wedding a few years later. The dream of the perfect wedding is a nice one, but all I can see in this episode are the negative and destructive aspects of that ideal.

[@malloryg4251]

I think you're missing the point. In this particular episode, it seems that the daughter was FORCED to have a rushed wedding because she was pregnant and the conservative families didn't want her to have a child out of wedlock. No doubt, this young woman wasn't ready to get married just yet, and the fact that she had to suddenly walk down the aisle was very traumatizing. Plus, I can't imagine all the horrible, shameful things her mom was saying to her before the first wedding. This goes much deeper than just finding the perfect dress.

[@KVeren]

Definitely agree that there is a lot more going on here from a family dynamic standpoint and that this whole thing goes deeper than finding the perfect dress - but I guess my point is that folks often seem to anchor a lot of their emotion and expectation on the physical items that go into the wedding (such as the "perfect dress") with the expectation that this will secure meaningful happiness/stronger relationship. While I think it is likely that you are right and she was pressured into something she wasn't ready for, I am still disturbed and saddened by her implication that finding the right dress will help her husband feel like he made "the right decision". Maybe what she means is that she didn't look happy because she didn't feel beautiful and was pressured, causing him to doubt if this was the right decision - but the way she phrased it sure made it sound like some of her feelings were because of the dress. Did her family put this into her head that he would feel this way because she didn't look a certain way? Probably, but I also feel that there is a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle messaging in our society that pressures brides to feel this way as a whole.
