Can't help that my first thought was that she was abused and used in her first marriage. To have to go find herself again to the point of having a ceremony, she has to have had horrible PTSD.
So glad she has found herself again and can love herself now as well as love the person she was when she was younger.
That is probably correct. She said that she had to change how she thought and had to find out who she was. That generally only happens in abusive relationships.
Bridal shops don't care. All they care about is the sale and a profit margin.
Should they care though?
It's a business not a charity.
@@sh.4409 Did I say otherwise? No. Bridal shops don't care if you're marrying a goat. Do you have the money? Did your check clear? That's all that's important.
@@ilerilawal6026 No. They're interested in keeping their business going. They care only to the extent that you're pleased with the service and the product.
Of course they don't care; they're in the business of selling wedding dresses.
I am so happy that she is free to love her life. I’m so happy that she loves herself, many women don’t. I’m so happy that she is out here living her life to the fullest.
finally a positive comment😢
Yes! I don’t see any reason to judge this woman.
I'm happy too that she loves herself, and feels some freedom, but to go as far as marrying herself is nuts. That's a wedding I would skip. I think she has some deep routed issues she needs to deal with
@@RevLeigh55 I know...everyone has a way to express self love and I respect that as long as it's not harming others or themselves.
@@suepost9026 she is just living her life, it's not like she is forcing people to be there and pay for stuff
Years ago a friend of a friend married herself. It made the national news.
AND WHAT WAS HER PRONOUNS...😂😂😂
Good for her
What a mess.
Yes, I heard the stories. One guy married an anime character and another guy married a pillow. There was another guy who married themselves too.
Your mate sounds nuts.
I mean I get the concept. After two divorces and losing myself to being a wife and a mom, I get it. I thought about buying a promise ring for myself as a symbol. I’d never have a solo wedding but to each their own. Glad she found herself again
If you love yourself there is no need to get married.
agreed like why tf do you need to spend all that money and have a wedding because the average price of a wedding in America is $28k why tf would you spend that much money to heal trauma. that money is better spent on therapy and healing the actual trauma... like tf
@@CheshirelySmiles how did she just lowkey throw in that she's been married and divorced but never worn a wedding dress and they didn't explore THAT at all? did she elope, was it a shotgun wedding at the courthouse, what happened?
@@dietotaku, does that really matter? I know as many people who elected against the big wedding as who went the formal wedding path. The overall marriage success rate was similar.
@@CheshirelySmiles, these folks are obviously new-age types. From their perspective, this IS part of her therapy and healing. It is a choice. It also doesn’t mean she is going to spend $28k on a huge wedding. Unless I missed it, for all we know she could be having a few friends over in her living room. It is not a choice I would make, but I think spending thousands of dollars on a one day wedding that means little to the success of a marriage is ridiculous. To each their own, though.
People all over the world love themselves, but they don't marry themselves. You can commit to yourself without all of that!
I thought this idea was a little nutty at first. But she actually said this was her first time putting on a wedding dress (even though she's been married before!!). There's no need to miss out on wonderful things in life just because they didn't turn out the way you initially wanted them to. Buy a beautiful wedding dress, buy yourself a ring, go on a Love-me-moon, all the things. Life's too short to have regrets.
Well, I agree with the idea that you have to love and honor yourself, but I think having a solo marriage might be taking things a bit too far.
Maybe for you, but how would you like it it people scrutinized your life and criticized you for something they think you took too far? Most marriages end in divorce, so I think marrying yourself is a fine idea.
It would make sense if she had married a tree.
@@lindsaydiscovers9842 It's a ridiculous idea . I think she's a woman who has some big issues that need to be dealt with . Just my opinion.
I didn't feel so well today, which was mainly because I'm unhappy with many things in my life at the moment. Watching this episode made me realize that I haven't been very loving with myself lately and the moment I realized, I started feeling better. Maybe we can all take this episode as a reminder to show ourselves some love. ❤
Thank you
I love your response!! I hope you continue to be happy and love yourself!
Heyyy Why not throw a celebration for yourself. I’m here for it.
me too! i think it's healthy that she's finally willing to invest in herself--to buy herself a lovely dress and a party with loved ones to celebrate her own healing. i was brought up to feel like i wasn't entitled to spend $20 on myself, let alone enough for a fancy formal outfit.
This lady in a wheelchair to stay strong, good luck with her wedding
Yes. She was beautiful. I'm also in a wheelchair, so I can relate.
I think what you done is amazing. I was once married to someone I loved so much for 18 years and he destroyed my life. I lost my independency myself worth and self-esteem. I allowed him to take those things from me and it’s been very hard for me to get those things back and I wish I would’ve thought what you did, you are worthy you are loved by God and you don’t need anybody else approval just be happy within yourself love yourself respect yourself. I know that you are so worthy by God and he’s the one that loves you more than anything on this planet. I wish you all the love and all the happiness in your life and all the blessings God bless you !
Brokenness is a hell of a thing. I pray she heals.
This is what she is doing to help healing.
this is such a backhanded comment. you don't wish her well you are judging her.
I think this is an amazing thing. She is making a statement and including everyone who means the most to her. The next person who gets to love her has a lot to live up to.
fancy gown or not, more people should do this. we should all learn to feel complete in ourselves. maybe teaching/learning healthy self love should be the rite of passage into adulthood and dating.
Agreed! I see a lot of opposing comments but I am proud of this lady.
@@user-ke7iv3gv3t me too! i love that she thinks enough of herself to invest in herself and treat herself to a gorgeous wedding gown and a party with her loved ones. :)
Agreed!
The way the mother supported her daughter's vision, regardless of how she initially felt about the dress shows that her daughter's happiness is her priority.
To me, it just seems so sad. You dont have to go through an expensive ceremony to prove to yourself that you love yourself. Go to the spa! Take a vacay! Splurge on some clothes or jewelry!
What in the world is going on? Shameful
She's putting herself through an official passage of life after her trauma. She's always wanted an actual wedding. You heard her, this was her first wedding dress. She wants this why you busting down her glam bro???
@@arcmadness8854 I am not a bro. She is making a mockery of marriage between a Man and a woman. I am sure she would be just fine by just moving forward.
I'm saying
@annaknittel214 Lol. You just said that to a lesbian. Sorry BRO but that's not how shit works. I'd live to see you go through harsh ptsd and say " I just got over it " see how you like it. 😆 Although basing off of what you said about marriage only being for a man ans a woman I'd say you already have trauma. Good. 😝
I love that she's entering into an intentional and commited union with all the past and current parts of herself. She's creating a ceremony around that intention. We do that for all kinds of things in life. I think it's Interesting that people have something negative to say but would probably spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on a child's birthday party, graduation party, or other celebration or ceremony.
Someone like this will be that much healthier for her next partner, not depending on them for her connection or joy. What a gift!
Think about the marriage vows. We're quick to declare these to another but not ourselves. If we committed to those vows for ourselves and our partner did the same, imagine how much more of a powerful space would be available to support each other, encourage each other, build each other up, and grow together.
It'll reduce or even eliminate codependency, resentment and unforgiveness.
I think it's beautiful.
I don’t understand all the criticism. She is living her own life. It’s your problem if you don’t like it. Live and let live.
Because it’s conceited ego & it’s stupid
Thank you!
@@WenchInTheTinfoilHat And tell me how this affects your life...
Because many people are triggered by the fact that she can do this for herself. They don’t understand that it’s ok to make a big deal about oneself and not wait for someone else to do it.
its weird and she needs to seek mental help
Trauma response to her divorce.
100%
or just good old-fashioned ✨NARCISSISM✨
What is wrong with a woman who wants the world to know she values herself above all. She is not afraid for the world to see that she demands the best of herself and who she will become
@@dietotaku Sounds more like her ex is a narc.
@S.Morgenstern yeah it kinda does. Based on what she said ("unlearning thought patterns") sounds like she was doing cognitive behavioral therapy and is celebrating the conclusion of that . . .
She said she never wore a bridal gown before! What type of abusive trauma did she go through before in her first marriage? I’m happy she is overcoming and healing now !👏
I understand what she feels....after my divorce I felt very similarly. But. I still would love a male companion.
Exactly and many claim that they don’t need a partner and all but deep down, I think most people do want and need companionship even if they don’t admit it.
She didn't say she would never take a spouse. She is doing this for her right now. You can do this and still have a relationship. This is her way of committing to her happiness and not lost in another relationship
No just no!
One of my older sisters, after her third failed marriage observed that she still had all her besties and said, "Women should just marry each other and then cheat on each other with men."
@@LQOTW To each their own but your comment is not for God but their own selfish selves
Truly, anyone whos ever been in a very dark place and has come out reborn, completed, rediscovering themselves would feel and treat life the same way as bride number 1. You do you babes, don't let other sookies tell you otherwise! Its your wedding rock it.,
I love the concept of marrying oneself. I have been in an “open relationship with myself” for about 20 years now. There’s room for another person, but I make sure I don’t lose myself ever again.
beautiful! love that!!
🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I think a lot of people are misinterpreting this woman’s journey and the symbolism of this ceremony..
Nothing shocks me anymore, and that in itself is shocking.
I'm right with you-😅
I'm kinda with you. I'm no longer shocked at ways people can be narcissistic, but I continue to be amused with the new ideas they come up with to express the narcissism.
Very disturbing
😂😂😂😂😂
Wait.. if she meets someone and falls in love and wants to actually remarry, would she have to divorce herself?
Good point, otherwise she would cheat on herself 🤔
😂😂😂
I think no one should judge her decision. She loves herself .. so why not make it grand .
Plus the fact that she's not asking for help , no one should claim its expensive. Everyone shows loves to themselves in different ways.
All the best to her 😊
A friend of mine married herself many years ago. It was a very special and meaningful ceremony. ♡
All y'all who are disparaging this woman and calling her crazy are super missing the point. She has clearly been through some major trauma, and she's working hard to learn the important mental health tools to heal. It's vital to any healthy relationship to love and respect yourself first, and if she wants to celebrate learning that and feeling that in her heart, I say more power to her. Those of you being judgemental need some introspection. Let this lady have her fun. I can't wait to see what dress she chooses!
👏👏👏
Please this is not right on so many levels. It is making a mockery of Marriage
It's her celebration, do you have a better word for it?
@@bonniegarber9915 yes a Narcissistic
@@annaknittel214Well, I have a word for you. Judgmental. 🙄
Mom looked embarrassed
Why would she be embarrassed that her daughter is in a wheelchair?
As she should be. Therapy would be a better use of that “wedding” money
What? @@alissaj9501
@@WenchInTheTinfoilHat, how do you know she didn't go to therapy?
@@alissaj9501 she is talking about the first bride
I've facilitated Self-Marriage Ceremonies with women. It's an opportunity to be witnessed through personal ceremony as you vow to Love, Honour, Cherish yourself for all the days of your life. Some women invited their closest loved ones, purchased a ring, wrote/read profound vows to themselves, burned burdens in a sacred fire, etc. It's incredibly powerful.
She loves herself
I understand this woman. I'm so proud of her and may God continue to bless her on her journey.
As long as her mother and son aupport her, it doesn't matter who accepts it.
Amen! It’s not up to me to judge other people’s lives.
exactly, it’s not hurting me, i don’t know this lady. she can celebrate her love for herself however she chooses and my life will go on
She has an adolescent son that she needs to be the grownup for.
@@PatchworkUSA, she is grown.
If so then why go on this show and let the world know about it? It’s not like anyone cares at all.
I think people are completely missing the point of her, marrying herself. A ceremony is an act of commitment. To deeply commit to yourself after trauma, is a positive example of healing. Now tfat being said, i agree with Moms first reaction. Not the most flattering stess or color on her. But she loved it and good for her.
I agree. If this is what she needs for herself, why not? She isn't hurting anyone. This is her declaration of a new day, new life, new her. I hope this is the beginning of a lifetime of happiness and fulfillment
@@0622micEven if that is the case, she can do something else like go on vacation, throw a party, or do something fun for herself. Why marry yourself? That is beyond strange to me.
Yep, go Girl! I married myself after my divorce 10 years ago!
Love you Girl!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Wow! Bride #2, Natalie, is such an inspiration and encouragement...and she looked absolutely beautiful.
I totally get her... when the pain is so hard that leads to a new you if love. I get it.
Love yourself
The first Bride reminds me of one that I saw on SYTTD British Edition with Tan France - that bride was marrying a ghost ;) I assume this union (the Bride who wishes to marry herself) symbolizes accepting and appreciating herself exactly the way she is (maybe she missed those feelings during her first "traditional" marriage).
The first minute brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. So happy for her. For those of us who have gone through abusive relationship(s), gathering the pieces of ourselves to put ourselves back together again is hard, and it can be long. But you end up with a beautiful person. Yourself.
She needs to realize what marriage actually is.
The attendance was so fake when she said " I love it" when she said she was marrying herself.
She does. A sacred promise. She is promising to love, honor and cherish herself.
@@BBlair-if8tj And you think she needs to " marry herself" to do that?
I love that that woman loves herself that much now since her divorce and that dress that she loves is absolutely gorgeous on her
What an awesome mother!!! Super supportive no matter what!! KUDOS to mommy!!!!!! 🙌🏼
When I first heard her say she was marrying herself, I kinda thought it was weird. After she explained, it made perfect sense! I'm a divorcee who also had to relearn things. My ex was verbally and mentally abusive before he got physically abusive. Learning to love yourself after you've only known belittling and getting bullied takes time.
I'm a victim of mental and emotional abuse from childhood I've not ever been able to look in the mirror and not loathe the person looking at me
girl you looking so good congratulations
Man if i got to the point where i was going to marry myself i wouldn't waste thousands of $$$ on a new dress. I'd go to an op shop and buy something nice but cheap. That said i would NEVER marry myself as i think it's strange. Theres nothing wrong with being single
This feels so familiar. After a divorce, life is a whole new ball game with all that baggage.
Loved that first bride. Her attitude, her posture, her look.
she was weird
I love this. I love her mom's support. I love that she's doing this for herself. I love the consultant's graying hair. I love it all.
😂 babe just celebrate singlehood with many of us. Don't make fun of yourself like that.
Thank you !
She isn't celebrating being single, she's expressing deep degrees of narcissism. Have a divorce party if you want, but don't embarrass yourself with a one-woman wedding.
EXACTLY!
That is the meaning YOU assigned to it. Not her truth.
Bridal assistants survive on commission, a sale is a sale and that keeps their job, they really don’t care about the brides they are dressing
Good for you. I've been on the same journey. No need to explain to anyone. I always say my hero is the woman I will be in 5 years time. 💝
I loved the first bride. I became true to myself in the late 1990s. Have. Ever been happier. I gave myself a ring this month. Maybe I should get a dress too!
This world has gone crazy
So now wouldn't be the best time to tell you someone married thier car and other married thier life like doll.
don't judge her?? u people calling her crazy clearly can't see she's dealing with trauma
It’s symbolic to her journey. Divorce is like death. She’s putting symbolism on her falling in love with herself. It’s different but right for her.
@@blank157I am totally fine with this. .
@@willemdafoesdrip i wouldn't call this "dealing" with trauma...
Its her life..she will live it the way she desires...good luck, lady❤
Good for her. She is doing what she wants and loves. She’s healing if she is not people pleasing! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾
I think that it's her life and kudos to her. It's kinda precious and powerful. Love is a many splendid things. It's said that there is no greater love than the love of yourself
Two beautiful brides, the second woman broke my heart when she said why would a man pick her, because there will ever be only one you and your husband loves you girl! ♥️
She looked like a Grecian Goddess!!
Such a strange idea, but when you think about it, symbolically it’s an amazing thing to do for yourself. I definitely relate, having had a toxic relationship where I had to rediscover who I was afterward, I can definitely understand. ❤
This woman is so empowering 💗
A beautiful human inside and out!
she's so beautiful...looks amazing in everything
I know exactly how she feels. I've been in a wheelchair for about 2 years now. Mine is not walking down the aisle though. It's holding hands and running with my grandchildren or dancing with my significant other. All I wear are dresses now. But I would be terrified to wear a wedding dress/gown
This lady is so pretty from her hair, face, and style.
Yes girl! It takes a lot to love yourself enough to do this! I think she's amazing ❤
"it's me" I LOVE HER!!
...and I love her mom!! ❤❤
I follow. Divorce x2 devastated me! Gave myself a ring; getting a dress sounds like a nice idea since first husband tossed it after a house fire he caused....
Love this!❤ made me think ....we need to love and marry ourselves first before we love and marry anyone else. Thank you soooo much for this new thought!
Absolutely LOVE this bride and her mom and her son!!!!!
Love this consultant.. she is so kind
I love this! congratulations for loving yourself! so many of us women find it hard to be happy with ourselves.
What a beautiful episode. I bless both of these women with love, support and cheer.
I think the first bride was trying to do a psycho magic ritual to heal (psicomagia, Jodorowsky), very smart move! 👏👏👏
Her mom's a love life coach, interesting vibes
She’s doing what she wants to do. That’s great and I admire her. I never wore a pretty white wedding dress. I’m thinking that can go on my bucket list. I’m only 72 and determined to be happy. Why not? 💜💜💜
THAT WAS MY TEACHER AND I LOVE HER !!! SHES ASTONISHING!!!
I have to tell her I love it...she made me hold a rock lol. Personally I loved her in everything. She looked amazing.
Honestly, I love that for her and I'm glad she's found herself
I keep thinking of the quote from Forrest Gump,..... " stupid is as stupid does"
I love this bride love yourself and get married to yourself
I love this! Good for her! ❤️
not the biggest fan of this comment section. marrying herself makes her happy & she looks gorgeous doing it
Right!
Two of the most awesome brides! ❤❤
I should do this cause I love wedding cake and good music. My reception would be turned up! 😂😂😂😂
This is the dumbest waste of money
I get what she's saying about finding herself, but marrying herself is totally ridiculous. She really needs some deep counciling.
Ummm, you can find yourself without marrying yourself.....this is strange......but she does look stunning, and I'm very happy that the other lady found love. She looks so happy and beautiful!
I agree, celebrate you have a party if you like ( maybe not a wedding dress) and enjoy the next chapter of your life. It's like she's making a mockery of marriage.
@@lydiapicano8806One could even just buy a wedding dress without needing a specific “wedding” event to wear it to. Seems unnecessarily eccentric.
@@pokechatter Agreed.
Nope.
I’m 67…I get her. If you have lived this, you’d get it as well. Good for her!
Lo único que me interesa es el vestido que elegirá 😅
Yes You go girl live your best and most authentic life 💕💕💕💕💕
The first bride is stunning and so is the dress.
Both of these women are so beautiful inside and out! 💕🥰❤️
I think this bride-the one “marrying” herself-is the most cracked TLC ever had on.
Agreed.
She is a bit out of this world.
This is crazy😂
The definition of marriage is when two people come together and unite as one.
So says you
this is disturbing! Makes no sense at all!
@@annaknittel214 the internet must be a scary place for you
@@annaknittel214 It does if you have more than one personality. Just thinking out loud (onscreen). 😬
@@LQOTW Lol
Well done. You have to. Love yourself first. Be happy
A very unique idea.I like it! Enjoy your dress.
You know. I have thought about doing this myself. But then I thought I should make it a big event for single women who do not want to marry a partner man or women. But they, and I still deserve to have a big day. Wearing a beautiful gown. Eating a catered dinner and dancing into the night. Just celebrating yourself and each other. Maybe one day I will try to organize something like this. I think a lot of women would attend. Maybe get a few businesses to sponsor it in exchange for their products being utilized, worn a d advertises before and during the event.
I'm happy for her. Celebrate yourself!!!!
