I'm a grandma, my granddaughters are about the age of the bride. I'd NEVER act like this woman. Respect is one thing, she's a tyrant.

[@kathyh9423]

It drives me bonkers when opinionated, domineering family members say "It's just not her." Ummm, I call BS on that. SHE likes it. SHE knows her own self. It's not YOU and what you want and guess what, it's not YOUR wedding.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Yes, I hate that too. I would not bring those kinds of people with me.

[@cdr3986]

I completely disagree. Why would you bring your grandmother, mother and siblings to the appointment? Why would you let your grandmother pay for the dress?

[@sallykins3800]

Here’s the thing, most people respect their elders , their community and their family’s opinions. Without them we are all isolated people, obviously, ultimately we should dress to suit ourselves, however, valuing people’s opinions we respect is what makes us social .

[@esraayousef5643]

I disagree, other people who knows us very well can say it's not her, I can take it or leave it, in my wedding I chose to take these opinions because I was confused and under stress, couldn't decide if I want to look gorgeous or do I want the dress to be gorgeous, do I wish to try something different and surprise people or do I want to be me. I am forever grateful they told me that the dress I originally wanted was not me and talked me out of it because looking back at the pictures now .. damn they were right!

"I just don't like anything about that dress." Wow, if you don't like it, Grandma, how about some suggestions about what you *would* like to see your granddaughter wear for her wedding. "I don't like the fabric. It's too shiny. I'd like to see you in a dress with fabric that has more of a matt look." Or, "I don't think that neckline flatters you very well. Maybe a sweetheart neckline would be better than that deep V neck." That gives suggestions for improvement and is helpful.

[@BasicYTHandle]

Welcome to another [very old] episode of "It's Not Your Dress." If the one who is paying has so much influence & disregards the bride's preference(s), then the bride should pay for the dress herself & not even include this person in the entourage.

[@samanthabmw330]

Exactly.. I was kind of like after the 2nd dress... "Why doesn't the #Bride Shell out some for her Dress so she doesn't have to do EXACTLY what Grandma says?"

I would have told Grandma she wasn't going to bribe me into wearing what she wanted by paying for my dress. That's the problem is everyone bows down to Grandma! And she takes full advantage of it! I'd rent my dream dress, anyway. It'd otherwise just sit, wrapped up in a box in the attic for the rest of my life. It's the pictures that people will be looking at...not wanting me to go dig my dress out of the attic so they could see what we looked like on our wedding day. Also Grandma!

It would be so nice if members of the entourage would express that they don't care for the look of that particular dress on their bride in a way that's not insulting to the designer of the dress. Just because you don't care for how a dress looks on your bride does not mean that the dress is ugly.

I agree with a commenter below. The bride looks fabulous in all the dresses. But the gandmother holds the ppurse strings. That's the problem. But that DOESN'T mean she gets to choose the dress. As long as the bride stays within the grandmother's budget, the grnadmother should just shut up. So, see, there's really no difference between northern anbd southern brides. Their entourages can all be just as obnoxious, as long as they're not backing up the bride.

[@catladyfromky4142]

She was paying for the dress. So she kind of had to be there. Secondly, the dress she liked was the one the bride liked best. And it was also the one her grandfather would have liked. So just maybe the grandmother helped her find the dress that she loved the most? Perhaps the bride (very beautiful) would have picked any old dress and not have seen the one she fell in love with? You need to see that the grandmother helped the bride with her goal - to find the perfect dress. You don't like her words, fine. But don't forget that, without her, the bride wouldn't have been as happy. Take that for what you will.

That's why it is so important for brides never to rely on their mother or grandmother to pay for the dress. And, when they carry on as such, tell them they don't have to attend the wedding. That shuts them up.

[@bettinadewoof3309]

“Conservative” grandmas and moms need to stay in their own lanes.

[@catladyfromky4142]

Great. Her lane was purchaser of the dress. The bride put her on that lane. And the grandmother kept the bride trying on dresses until she found the one her grandfather would have liked the most. Otherwise, the bride would have stopped long ago. So the grandmother helped her find the perfect dress. Isn't that a win?

[@sheripoole489]

Don’t bring anyone with you! Who cares what they think! You like what you like. No ones opinion is relevant! I went by myself and chose the 2nd dress I tried on.

[@catladyfromky4142]

Some brides actually want the guests to ooh and aah over their dress. If they bring an entourage, they can serve as test guests. So YOU don't care about what anyone else likes. But some brides are different. Who are you to say that they aren't allowed to care what others think? Some brides take all kinds of effort to put on a wedding that guests get wowed over. Besides, the grandmother is paying for the dress. If you don't want someone's opinion, then you pay for your own dress. End of story. The grandmother gets to choose if she will get out her wallet or not. The thing though that I don't understand is that the grandmother doesn't give constructive criticism. She's just "no" instead of 'I think the neckline is too wide" or "the silhouette that you would look good in is ..." But the bride brought her, so she is allowed to have an opinion.

[@agnes15101968]

Grandma was right all the time. Leah is tiny, with a very fine figure, so naturally, just about everything looks good on her. No "problem areas" to cover, so that is just not the question. The question is, in which gown she will look like a self-certain, proud, glowing bride - and that was what happened in that last dress. I personally do not even like it that much (pickups, sleeveless, things that do not appeal to me), but look at Leah, she wore it as if she had never worn anything else in her life. Gradma is a wise person.

I've come to the conclusion that if a grown up woman bride can't pick her own dress, after a lifetime of picking dresses for herself, and likely by herself, then maybe she shouldn't be raising her own children.
