It was refreshing to see the couple and the MIL all communicating in a respectful manner.

[@samanthabmw330]

I dunno.... The Mom backtalking to her Son when the Bride was out-of-earshot, "That Dress is hideous!" ... That's just Passive-Aggressive and Maligning behavior. I hope this Bride knows what she is doing. Given DESPITE this Clip was put up only 4 Days ago, it's apparent its years old.

[@catladyfromky4142]

"That dress is hideous!" is an opinion. A strong one, but just that. It is not passive aggressive anything. Neither is it back talking anyone. It is a conversation where the MIL doesn't want the bride to know that she hates it so much. She could say it in front of the bride, and you would say that she was disrespecting the bride because it is not her dress. Basically, you think that everyone needs to love exactly what the bride loves and not have any opinion, either to the bride or not to the bride. Everyone needs to be in lock step, and their reason for being there is NOT to help the bride pick a dress but to say whatever she says. Got it.

This was a little scary at the beginning, but was glad they understood they needed to back off a little and let her make HER decision. I hope they are happy together and bless that Mom's heart. I hope every decision from this point forward will be THE COUPLE's and not Mom's. Very generous of her to offer to pay for the dress, but still, it is YOUR wedding and YOUR decisions.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I don’t know why everyone is taking it so negatively. Her fiancé and his mom seem really supportive. It is great to have a good relationship with your mother in law. They both seemed supportive of her and it was a nice gesture that she is paying for her dress too. She spoke up and they listened so what is with all the negativity? Some are saying to take your mom but sadly as we saw on the episode with Samantha how bad that was. At times, mother in laws can treat you better than your own mother. Plus, there is nothing wrong with your fiancé seeing you in your dress before the wedding. It is just a dress and sadly too many are placing too much importance on a one time dress.

[@happyash6048]

As I watch this show for years, I’m so grateful that I found a beautiful gown in a magazine, went to try on the sample, which didn’t fit on my newly reduced size 13 body so I couldn’t leave the fitting room, but imagined it would be perfect, and promptly found a dressmaker who made it and my matching veil. And I did this only with my MOM because I thought it was OUR SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER. No entourage, no outside opinions! Then I picked out my bridesmaids dresses and had them go and try on and order them. Boy things sure have gotten complicated since 1978!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

It’s been fifty years, hon. Yes, times have changed, Grandma lol.

[@bonnylouwho76]

1976 yes they have. My Mom and I did everything as well and our friend from church made my gown and veil as well. Only one sister in our family had a store bought designer gown and I think she bought it herself as she was a bit older when she married and already had started her teaching career. Her gown was classic gorgeous column gown with a long train and it was worn by TWO other brides as well, a sister in law and a niece. Do whatever works for you and your situation I say.

[@papagena1]

The way the MIL got her first glimpse of the first dress, then turned and whispered, “See? I told you!” to her son, and then turned back with a fake smile - that rubbed me the wrong way. You two should not be having secret side convos and exchanging snyde opinions about the dresses. If you have an opinion, save it for when you are asked, and say it kindly and considerately. And when he said, “That’s the one,” he immediately looked to his mom for validation, not his fiancée. They recovered nicely though.
