If she's old enough to get married, she's old enough to choose her own wedding dress. She's an adult now, Daddy. Let her go.
If she's old enough to get married and choose her own dress then she's old enough to pay for it?
@@tj1836 Donât matter, most men are a**holes and if you buy a dress for someone it is a gift and something too hold over someoneâs head to abuse their daughters or anyone else!!! Itâs abuse!! ABUSE. or you will be held as an *ABUSER* period and no longer invited too the wedding.
Thatâs what Iâm saying!!!
@T J. I throw a âBSâ card on that. Regardless of who pays, itâs her choice. And, as it appears they may have religious beliefs that effect their choice, itâs still her choice.
@@tj1836 ofc she is, but if her dad offered sheâd have to be pretty dumb not to accept....câmon tj youâre smarter than this
Itâs so creepy how involved fathers are in their daughtersâ sexuality, and itâs even more creepy how normalized it is.
Took the words right out my mouth âŒïž
Exactly even the mothers like in other episodes are like that itâs annoying
Imagine the shame she has endured all her life because of her "dad".
I thought the same thing. You know itâs funny. Dadâs become like this because now that theyâre âdadsâ and not the predatory boy most boys grow up as, they become ridiculously protective. Which is good in some respects, but respecting his daughter should come first. She didnât look too happy with her selection though.
@@JuanitaHarrisMissHarrisinParis Predatory boys who grow up to be Dads know EXACTLY how predatory boys think and act because those Dads did those things. And, those formerly predatory Dads become the most overprotective of fathers to the point of suffocating their own daughters because they don't want what they did to other women happen to their daughters. But, occasionally, the sins of the father is visited upon his children.
By trying to keep her modest, he's oversexualizing his daughters body. There's nothing sexual about any of those dresses.
No heâs not. He doesnât want people thinking she looks trashy going down the isle.
@@katemiller7874 trashy? How tf fid she look trashy!? Her dad is beyond crazy
@@katemiller7874 she didn't look trashy in any of those dresses. He was oversexualizing her
@@katemiller7874 no he was definitely oversexualizing her, the dresses covered everything.
@@katemiller7874 are you blind lmao
Okay there's a difference between being "protective" and being obsessed with purity culture. And this guy is crossing that line pretty hard.
Right!!! With the way this CONTROLLING THANG is acting towards his daughter surely makes one wonder what's "REALLY" going on!!
Hummm......he's not passing out Bibles for sure. SICKENING!!
âToo much sceneryâ is such a gross way to describe your adult daughter wearing a sweetheart neckline đ€ą
No it's not it's a wonderful way to describe it
@@stevenschreibman1917 it's creepy
@@stevenschreibman1917 Yes it's creepy and her body doesn't belong to him.
My dad insisted that I dress modestly. He's been gone for nearly 17 years. A good dad wants his daughter to be a lady. BTW I really miss my dad.
@@dianedizayee5211 shut up, it's 2022. Let women wear what they want to. Sorry about your father but this shits wack.
There's something really creepy about a man obsessing over his daughter's body.
I canât believe her mother doesnât say something
I agree he is weird about his daughters body ,was he watching over her body all this time ugh .My husband never looked at our 3daughters bodies at all. And he didn't go to the bridal shops. I never seen a man in any wedding shop.He loved all their gowns.That father acted like she was a possesion of his.He was too weird for for sure.
Yes!
Couldn't have said it better myself. His daughter is an adult and it's creepy. People need to stop thinking this is overprotective behavior because it's not, it's sexualizing. I wear skintight dresses and crop tops around my dad all the time and he has never not once commented on my body or told me to cover up. Why? Because he doesn't see me "in that way."
@@Marly123 A father shouldn't be damned for wanting a small amount of modesty for his daughter. ESPECIALLY compared to what others demand of their children (and get a totally free pass for it!)
he's the dad who tells his son-in-law "I'm gonna kick your ass" after his married daughter announces her pregnancy.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Šââïž
How can he get mad about his married daughter wanting to have children with her husband? He sounds so silly! How does he think that grandchildren are made?
â@@symonelewis1690Probably the same reason he hates her wearing a wedding dress that dares to show her collarbone.
And people will laugh and normalize this idiotic behavior, too. Itâs so stupid.
I love the second bride, sheâs so quirky and cute! I also love that she is having two weddings, one being respectful and beautiful to her husbandâs culture and family. I hope they have happiness for life :)
yes! but i also loved her second dress
This man has GOT to stop talking about his daughter's "scenery". Even in this context.
Yep it really creeped me out. ANY father that focuses on their adult daughters "purity or in this case her scenery" is super creepy to me and also extremely controlling! I don't get it and I'm a parent of two. I must just be an a-hole because I do not care who else approves of the dress I like that includes parents. Of course the husband- to -be should like it but that's about it.
I would bet dollars to dog hairs NOBODY wanted to hangout or sleepover her house growing up!
His nasty display of toxic masculinity is beyond inappropriate.
If he discusses his daughterâs breasts in this setting imagine how he behaves behind closed doors đ€ą.
Couldn't agree more. Why is he obsessing about her breasts. It felt really disgusting, creepy and made me wonder if he was abusive to her...
Right. As a father can he really not look past it? Itâs so bizarre.
Yeah and she should wear any kind of a wedding dress and Her father is taking too far to over protective of her
When a "dad" thinks his "little girl" needs to be "covered up" for her wedding ... does he not know what's happening after the wedding?
If it hasn't happened already.
Most likely has already happened, but for the health and safety of her husband to be, letâs pretend it hasnât.
@@smtwd6839 lmaoooo!! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Maybe it is to cover up for the WEDDING not the husband lmao
Or what's likely already been happening.
First brideÂŽs fatherÂŽs relationship with his daughter is highly problematic. I wouldnÂŽt even rule out sexual harrassment of his daughter. The way he sees her as a woman "showing herself" is simply sick.
I got the same feeling, about inappropriate sexual behavior from him... Also from her demeanor towards him.
@@cezarab5236 I agree with you - you're the first one to come out and say it here - his "property" and her diminutive persona
There's a difference between being protective and throwing out so many red flags people are concerned.
No one grown is concerned. Just you
Actually, Jkword, you ARE correct. Her father IS a narcissist, and that kind of overprotectiveness is completely unwarranted and unneeded. That daughter is a grown adult who can make her own choices. I think the only reason why her parents were so deeply involved, they were paying for her dress. Everything she tried on is modest. Her father was way out of bounds, and her mother agreed, just to keep the peace.
@@katemiller7874 hey, your Electra complex fell out of your pocket. Might want to tuck that in a safer place than the CZcams comment section.
Just for shits & giggles , they should have TOTALLY freaked out the father, and brought her out in a Pnina Tornai gown! đ€Ł
đ€ you might want to ask yourself if her dad has a heart condition. Before doing that. She could wear a dress with a modest front, and a low backless dress.
@@ladyjustice1474 he didnât even like the low cut in the back, maybe he shouldnât be so over protective about what his ADULT daughter is wearing
well putting him in a stroke-induced coma would've been one way to shut him up lol
@@ladyjustice1474 đ„±
Ohkay so it wasnât just me wishing they put the first bride in something super revealing đđđ
It's creepy how the father is focused on his own daughters chest. Srsly, womens bodies are their own, they are not a candy for men. I hate this approach.
Same
đŻ
It's not unusual to have a dad who sees his daughter as his baby girl to want her completely covered up. That's being protective of her, granted maybe over protective, but protective none the less. I'd be very concerned if he wanted and was fascinated with the opposite. Now THAT would've been very creepy and sick.
I so agree, dad was a jerk!!
I agree with you that women's bodies are their own. But as we know, when her father concerns more about certain part of his daughter's body there is high probability that part will 'attract' or catch more people's eyes, especially men..
That dad is so creepy! Why is he fixated on his daughterâs body?? đ€ź
Waay to creepy. The whole thing made me uncomfortable
i love how the second brides mom said "its really Diana's decision"
Dad, she's not marrying you.
This is not about "my little girl," this is about controlling her even into her marriage.
It is not be quiet
@@stevenschreibman1917 .... Your sentence if it can be called that, seems to be some type of warning. I hope you are saying this to everyone on the comment board who are in agreement with my comment. We both are entitled to AN OPINION.
@@stevenschreibman1917 Be quiet ? Oh , please. Go sit in the corner.
Sheâll always be his little girl. Til the day he dies
Sounds like if he had his way, she would be walking down the aisle in a burka.
As much as I respect Dad for being active in her life this way, he ought to remember that the dress will be removed by the new husband regardless. Hubby will love her no matter how much skin is revealed.
Exactly
@@luhashrob EXACTLY
Hubby is going to see all the skin, if he hasn't already.
This is scripted.
đłđłđłđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł poor dad.
The father should be ashamed about his behavior. He's disgusting đ€ą
A disgusting obsession with his daughter. Very creepy.
Why. He has rules when heâs paying. Most parents would.
@@katemiller7874
Then donât conceive children who never asked to be here. I think itâs stupid to say âif Iâm paying for it, then you have to abide by my rulesâ on a once in a lifetime opportunity. You canât get married for the first time again. Also, donât offer to pay for something that youâre not comfortable spending the money on, if it has to come with all these stipulations. Itâs gross that he canât allow his daughter to wear her dream dress lest he gazes upon her âsceneryâ. Heâs being perverted đ€ź
@@katemiller7874 how obsessed are you to reply to almost every comment that I'm reading. We get it, you have no life.
@@WOLFGANG634 exactly. Rules are one thing. This is dictatorship and sick. And another level of power abuse.
The second bride looks absolutely stunning in that last dress of her choice. It's amazing how different dresses can look on each different bride. They all look lovely! X
That father is creepy. He canât stop seeing his own daughter through a sexual lens.
Yeah and nothing she wore was even ârevealingâ, heâs choosing to see her that way and itâs not okay.
that might not be it. he might be more religious and in some religions, it's more respectable to cover up.
@@AkireMaru you have to ask why? She getting married what is he afraid of?
@@nuttercup7617 thatâs your opinion
Exactly
The dad is so creepy. It's not sweet or caring, it's just controlling and misogynistic.
đđđđ
Exactly!! It is extremely creepy for a father to focus that much on his daughterâs sexuality.
Spot on. Also, she was barely showing any chest in any of those dresses.
Yes she should show her independence and finance her own wedding dress
@@angelaclements1244
To think that a parent can only gift their child a wedding dress, so long as they abide and agree to every stipulation that the parent has is abhorrent⊠To each their own. I pray any children you have arenât loved only on the condition that they obey every single word you say.
Even though I am in middle school, I always watch this show and think about what Iâll wear on my wedding day and I could imagine this would bring my dad.
My dad has always been so strict of how the way I dressed.
âToo tightâ
âShows skinâ
âYou should cover up!â
It always makes me so upset because it destroys my confidence. I want my father ti like the outfit and cheer me on.
Not put me down and cover up.
I think that the boys should learn how to look away instead the girls covering up.
To be fair, youâre a child entering puberty. Itâs fun exploring fashion and itâs normal to want to wear clothes similar to your friends. But it takes time to figure out how the world perceives you and how you want to be in it. Good luck!
I hope that Alexa isn't marrying a man like her daddy. She'll eventually get tired of being controlled.
Diana picked the perfect dress for her described ceremony. Bonus... it was under her budget!!
She has such a nice figure. Itâs a shame she allows her father to influence her decisions when itâs HER wedding. She should have the freedom to choose what she likes. She has the right to feel beautiful and satisfied with her dress.
Yes, and she should pay for her own wedding dress too. That's call 100% freedom.
She loves her father. If not shes not gonna have him come. She wanta her father to help choose.
Being free is also about choosing to please whoever you want to please.
Daddy paying for the dress gives daddy a huge sword to wield in the selection. Bride's need to learn that, if they want the dress they want, they need to pony up the cash to pay for it.
It's called acting. They are scripted on how to act and what to say. In an article she talked about the application process and the coaching. All for ratings.
A wise woman to treasure and honor her father above a dress she wears for one dayâ€ïžAnd a loving father who doesnât let what others think keep him from wanting and doing what is best for his girlâ€ïž
Why are we congratulating his âprotectivenessâ what is he protecting her from?
I didnât realize women were in danger during their weddings surrounded by those she treasures and those who treasure her most. Dads concerns show that heâs the one sexualizing his daughter. Modesty is beautiful when itâs a choice the bride makes, not one sheâs pressured into.
If the town they come from is small...trust me, tongues would wag for months...and he would like his daughter's wedding to be remembered as such an event that her wedding would be remembered as classy, respectable, and in good taste, thus keeping her name from being run through the mud. In our town a girl barely had on a dress at all.....and people were shocked she would even wear it in a church much less for a commitment ceremony of marriage. (knowing the girl we all expected something out of the box....but she really went for close to nothing hidden at all)
Hes not protecting her from danger.....huh? He wants to protect her dignity and refinement..... where does danger come in? One thing i do afree upon is that that precise idea should be something the bride wants not bec her father is forcing it, but in theory is very admirable.
There is trying to protect your daughter dignity and there is taking away her choice. The dresses she chose ARE modest, not one of them was unrefined, undignified or anything to shame, she was covered in all of them from head to toe so how is his behaviour protective?
@@michellelansky4490 It is how one acts, not how one dresses. She can be a truly modest and honorable young lady wearing almost nothing as long as she acts like one. All the coverings in the world will not make her modest and refined if she isn't. The problem is the father! He is not seeing a daughter but something entirely different and maybe a bit of counseling would help him!
@@michellelansky4490 What praytell is "danger" ?
My dad never told me what I could or not wear. Always on my side, encouraging me to figure out my style, building up my confidence, and defending me from criticism.
Dad needs to realize his daughter is a grown woman, and for the love of all thatâs holy, stop calling her breasts scenery.
Haha, yep.
Bride needs to realize she's a grown woman and continue the appointment without her father, or re-locate to a shop she can afford on her own.
The dad is super weird, he might need to get some therapy if he canât stop looking at his daughters chest.
My thoughts đŻ. It is a bit creepy to be honest. If she is old enough to get married she can choose her own clothes.
Dad needs some serious Therapy
Right? It's giving pervert vibes.
Right? He will always be her dad but she is long past being his ''little girl''
I felt the same way. "Stop looking at her tits dad,jeez..."
You can bet if this had been at Lori's, she would've told him off. đ
Lori or Monty. It would have had all the sass
Monty would sass the hell out of the father đđ€Ł
I'm so jealous of the second bride. She can wear all those lines going across her body and she only looks more beautiful! Me, you put one line on me and I would look divided in half!
Sheâs not his âlittle girlâ any longer. đ
He hasnât said one nice thing about her when she came out. None of the dresses were anywhere near being revealing and âsexy.â
Heâs a stern, controlling guy.
His wife looks like she submits to everything he says and would make excuses for his control issues. The bride acts like sheâs used to him controlling her too. đ
He's acting like she's marrying him. It's almost like he's jealous of her getting married
@@makailahenderson3668 Bingo !
Recall this is a TV show. He hasn't said one nice thing about her that made the cut for TV. Drama sells!
Wow! She's old enough to get married, she's old enough to dress herself! Dad, get over yourself and stop being such a control freak.
That is creepy to me the Dad is a sick ticket!
@@joanpaterson7605 Same here.
couldn't agree more.
I love everything about the second bride. Her independence, her choice, her attitude, smile. She's a lovely girl.
Agreed! The fact her name is Diane/Diana Middleton was a cool coincidence. Sounds kind of royal to me!
You love her independence, but then call her a girl. She's a woman.
And her family! When mom said "It's Diana's choice" I almost screamed. Why can't all entourages be like that?
The first dress oft all: Say yes to the dress- Shows, I donÂŽt like. It looks like a curtain.
And the dress was so beautiful.
The father gave me the creeps, get with the times. I felt the daughter's choice of dress was compromised because of his archaeic beliefs đ«€đ«€ Second bride's dress was absolutely gorgeous. She looked so beautiful đđ
The second bride, her dress is the most beautiful dress Iâve ever seen!
That father's obsession with his daughter's "scenery" is creepy.
No its not..wow
@@andreygreenidge4854 Yes it is. Why on earth is he so fixated on it! At the end of the day she was barley showing any skin at all and he constantly mentioned the slightest bit of skin, and didn't say anything nice at all until she was wearing a bloody turtle neck đđ€Šđ»ââïž
@@chelseaarbuckle3665 because he wants to protect her most likely its not creepy it not being a a ped it's normal
@@rando_edits3743 what is he protecting her from? She's a grown woman on her wedding day đ€Ł

This goes out to all the ladies that have controlling parents it's your wedding this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of happiness for you and you should pick your own wedding dress cuz this is your experience not theirs they had theirs already
And ... Pay for your own dress so no one can hold that over you!
If she doesn't want her father to pay for it that's fine
Yeah, I wanted to be traditional and involve my parents. Big mistake
Beggars can't be choosers. If you want full control pay for it yourself and not depend on dad's wallet.
Nah, you have multiple opportunities after all you can remarry.
Dianaâs dress was amazing!! The first two were super pretty but I started getting teary eyed at the third.
Wow - the dress is absolutely perfect for the second bride!
If society didnât fear a womanâs sexuality, the world would be a better place. Every woman should feel sexy in her own way on HER wedding day and not be shamed for it. Regardless of religious or conservative beliefs. Itâs possible to be both đ€·đœââïž the first bride looked beautiful and I hope she felt sexy in that dress even with her Dadâs pressure.
Be sexy at home, not at your wedding day. The marriage is about something else, not about your sexuality.

I wonder what her prom dresses looked like. Sheâs getting married and needs to realize he either raised her well or he didnât and itâs who sheâs is not what sheâs wearing that really matters. She seems beautiful inside and out.
apparently an 1800s Amish gown
What does "having raised her well" have to do with her neckline. This man's opinion concerning women's clothing is positively medieval...
Nobody is complaining about his chest hair peeking out.
Having raised her well means he hopefully raised a kind woman with respect for herself and others who has a good head on her shoulders and can stand on her own two feet.
@@Isa-de2yf Sheâs an adult old enough to make her own decisions & rather than worry about her showing some skin he should focus on who she is as a person. I believe we share the same opinion but perhaps I wasnât clear enough for you.
@@beccalynn917 this was less a rant against your comment and more a letting of steam after watching that father dictate his daughter's choices. Sorry about that. No offense intended.
I also think parents often underestimate how much they shape their children's ability to speak up once they have grown up by either giving them room to voice their opinions early on or denying them freedom of choice in certain matters.
The way you act around your parents is ingrained in you and not easily shaken off no matter how old you become - in my experience.
So, I don't blame her for having no spine. I suspect she was perhaps raised rather sheltered and not given the opportunity to grow one in the past.
@@Isa-de2yf He was pretty gross. Hopefully, her new husband is nothing like her Father.
The dress the second bride chose was so beautiful đ
Omg the second brideâs final dress is everything đâ€ïž
Weird how her Mom never speaks up for her daughter overall Iâm liking the UK versions of Say Yes to the Dress better. Totally focused on the bride, no drama and most of the brides have a more reasonable budget
Shes probably not allowed
America sucks
sheâs probably scared or knows that she isnât supposed to speak against the father. itâs sad
He is a narcissist. They control every aspect of their lives and their family's lives by getting involved in everything so that there is NO room to breathe freely and think for themselves.
The first bride actually wore the altered dress for her wedding, the sleeve and covered lower back, and the changes made the dress look much more beautiful. She was gorgeous in her wdding. they are still married, 6 years married and 12 years totally together. Happy for them.
How do you know this ??
Is her father as gross as he appeared on the show?
@@anisah319 she is on Instagram, using same name
She privated her instagram, boooo haha
Is her mum as dominated as she seems in this program.
The way the dad was staring at her without blinking in so many shots got my creep meter in the red.
both brides were sooo gorgeous and settled for beautiful dresses
Hmmm... there's 'protective' and there's 'guarding my property!' Dad maybe needs to think about what message he's sending his daughter with his obsession with covering her up; he's implying that it's HER responsibility to not stir up horniness in any men who look at her. And it isn't. She should be allowed to look sexy and glamorous WITHOUT feeling like it's 'her fault' if others who aren't her husband also find her attractive.
They only pick spineless brides and/or overbearing parents for this show. No, chica, you are NOT still a little girl. It's really a breath of fresh air when a decisive bride comes in.
They aren't spineless. They are usually over-protected and/or playing into the stupid daddy card so daddy pays for everything. Both people know the reality but are hanging on to traditional values for the sake of their values and for reality TV of which they are active participants.
Oh there's several entitled, spoiled ones too.
watch the indian version, you'll see confident beauties
This is sooo creepy. He goes âno,I donât like thisâ at any hint of skin, disgusting
To be fair, the dress that the 1st bride chose because of her father, it looks good on her. I also love the 1st dress and last dress of the 2nd bride, congrats to them both, they both look gorgeous.
I really liked the 1920's vibe of the second bride's dress. And somehow, that dress also managed to incorporate the "bohemian" sensibility that the bride wanted. I was not crazy about the bodice, but overall, I thought the dress was perfect for her.
The third dress she tried on is perfect for her, and the vibe she wanted to portray!!
It's not my style but it really suited her perfectly! She looked stunning.
Totally agree. It made me think of Downton Abby and the kind of dresses they would wear at their garden parties. She looked great in it
Absolutely agree! Not something Iâd choose but it was perfect for what she was after & nice to see something a bit different.
I want a dress the same!
Are you serious. He's a control freak. He seems like the type to lock her in the basement for not following his "rules". She's just allowing him to control her entire life. He needs to get a grip.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's just not okay.
Ya his money. His rules.
He's going to move next door to them and walk in on them unannounced?
She needs a job and if she has one not let Daddy pay for the almost 4k dress. I'd rather have a cheaper dress but have the choice be mine alone!
She and her husband need to get as far away from that nonsense as possible. Otherwise, he will be involved in every aspect of their married lives.
Lol at the second entourage LOATHING that first dress and trying their very best to reign it in đbless their heart!
These dresses are just so beautiful⊠I love the first two of the first girls so much. Theyâre very close to my dream dress
I love that he is involved in his daughters life. However, itâs not his business how much skin she shows. Itâs her body and if she feels beautiful and powerful showing some skin, then her father should respect that. What is wrong with wearing something revealing???
She obviously loves him very much and respects his opinion, which is awesome imo.
It is his business. She is still her father's daughter. Dad is the one GIVING her away in marriage, remember? Dad is protecting his daughter from being lusted after by men whose eyes have no business seeing her sexual body parts/bare skin.
I wonder if she has ever worn a bathing suit? Maybe a neck to knee number? His use of the word âsceneryâ over and over was becoming annoying. I was expecting her to come out in a high neck, long sleeved satin dress where only her face and hands showed. Come on Dad. This is the 22nd century, not the 1800s!!
Nothing she wore was even revealing, I donât even know what âsceneryâ, he was talking about.
@@diannebernau3293 Umm. . .21st century?
Dads still sees her as a little girl. Sheâs a grown woman buddy get over it
Right?? Sheâs literally getting married dude. Like with that attitude heâs going to be fuming during the honey moon. Goofy asf đ
I think the problem may be that he is seeing her in a sexual nature, not as a little girl. Which is even worse!
Dad is a chauvinist, control freak and needs to snap out of it. He no doubt thinks she's still a virgin.
@@SD-ik1xf: He shouldn't be seeing her in a sexual nature or as a little girl. Both sound pretty creepy.
In the late â80s, my sister was an awesome competitive swimmer. She wore swimsuits hours a day! She even went on to compete in college. One year in high school, she was going on a band trip to Australia. She had to take a swim suit on the trip. She chose a suit that was a combo full-body/bikini. My dad flipped out! He left the room crying when he saw it. The first family reminded me of that moment. It was because it was the first time my dad saw one of his kids, donât take this the wrong way please, as âsexualâ, even though the rest of us thought it was a modest compromise. Those dress scenes totally reminded me of that moment. Dad could not hack it, even though there was nothing too too revealing.
The bride looks modest and as a mother.. I want same thing for my daughters.. covering up has nothing to do with sexualizing or anything sick like that.. itâs sad that itâs normal to have a half naked bride and think thatâs not sexualizing.. itâs leaving to much to the eye and some ppl donât know where to look cuz they feel uncomfortable already.. so covering up is normal. And should be for any age or any daughter.
But the bride is an adult, not a child. It's her choice how much skin she shows, it's not up to her father. They didn't say who was paying for the dress, but if I were her, I'd pay for my own dress and wear what I wanted to wear.
If a bride is old enough to marry, she's old enough to choose her own clothes, especially her wedding dress. Saying she's still his little girl can be cute, but not when he's dictating what she wears. Is she and her fiance getting their own place when married? Is she gonna be thinking what her dad would approve of every time she goes clothes shopping? The dress she chose was nice as it was without the alterations being suggested.
The second bride's dress was a good choice, very pretty.
She's also then old enough to pay for her own dress. I find it so odd that an adult woman's parents pay for the dress and everyone is shocked that those parents then express their ideas. Skip the dilemma and buy your own dress.
If I was paying for my daughterâs wedding dress it would be a gift, not a contract. (if the parents are even paying for the dress - thatâs not explicitly stated at any point iirc)
@@M-hc9xm IF a parent is paying for the dress, then sure they have a right to give advice, make suggestions. But that doesn't give them the right to outright dictate what the bride can or cannot choose, or how much skin they show, like in this case. Ultimately, it's still the bride's choice, it's her wedding. That's if the dad was paying.
@@WiccanRai As a daughter without child(ren) of her own -- ofc it gives the parents the right! They can pay or not pay. I agree: a woman should choose her own dress and be able to pay for it. A girl is stuck with whatever she can talk her parents into buying for her.
That father sounds like an absolute creep. RUN, GIRL!
She obviously respects him.
@@katemiller7874 you donât respect creeps like him
I love how elegant the second bride's mom and sister sit â„
FRIENDS pilot episode (1994): Rachel abandons her wedding and later cuts up Daddy's credit card. Monica: "Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're gonna love it."
Some people today (2022): OMG, I can't believe these parents put all these conditions on their daughter's designer wedding dress!!! She's an adult and her own woman!!!! She DESERVES whatever dress she wants, THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR BECAUSE SHE'S AN ADULT AND IT'S THE 21ST CENTURY SO SHE GETS TO SPEND TONS OF YOUR MONEY FOR WHATEVER SHE WANTS FOR HER SPECIAL DAY!!!!
Honestly, it's totally cool if you have rich parents willing to pay for whatever you want. If not, you can still call the shots for your wedding (and married life!). Any time someone has an opinion you don't want, you can say "Thanks for letting me know! You're important to me, but this is my big day and I'm paying for it, soooooo ...." :)
The second bride chose a drop dead gorgeous dress.
The Father shouldn't even be there! Seriously what a control freak, embarrassing his daughter with such ridiculous old fashioned ideas.
I don't know if to say he's over protective and still wants to control her ,because his wife is just sitting there with no opinion of her own ,it's seems as if they are afraid of him ,
Yes I never took my dad I mean he trust me but if he came he'd want me to wear his football team colours as in has no idea of fashion lol also my dress was one thing I made sure I paid for
My dad paid for my dress but didn't give a damn to what I got. He only saw me on the wedding day and said I looked beautiful.
@@aldergriffith4586 yes that's what I think, he's a control freak and they are afraid of him..it gave me a really creepy feeling
2nd bride- 2nd option, Normally I don't like one shoulder styles, but this was absolutely amazing on her... I only wonder if it would wrinkle and crease throughout the day... But she owned that last dress!!!
Uhm⊠he really needs to stop talking about âsceneryâ he says it every dress, itâs not his day. He is sweet and may want to âprotectâ his daughter. Itâs just her body alone! No one elseâs! No hateđđ«¶
Dad is more creepy than sweet....my daughters picked theirs without dad...and he never commented when he saw them on th morning of the wedding he was so proud of them
Yah, same with my dad and my sister, he didnât even think about it at all. Not that our dresses were that revealing but for this father they would have been!
He's gonna really be upset when he realizes how much skin she'll be showing on her wedding night!
lol
Hopefully he is not controlling that đł lol
When a dad is that paranoid...... is he actually more afraid what he himself will think/feel/turn on if he sees her "scenery"
Fathers like that usually have daughters who go WILD at college or when they are old enough to know what fun is.
If my dad would make one single comment about my chest or body Iâd tell him to leave
Yeah, itâs super weird.
Ah, but if he were paying for your dress? I agree with you, BTW. But she didn't bc she needed him to pay.
@@gracemchu I'd still tell him that it's fucking creepy that he sexualizes his own child. Wtf, I walked around the house in tank tops and underwear or short shorts during the summer and my dad has NEVER made a comment about it. I wouldn't care who paid for the dress, that father was inappropriate and creepy af.
Dad needs to update his ideas, his daughters are sexual beings and Alexa should be able to choose a dress she loves, not something patched together to accommodate Dad's whacked comfort zone.
Dads need to update his ideas, women have educations and jobs, too! He shouldn't be there to pay for her dress -- he should be there as her guest, and restricted to a guest's level of input.
@@gracemchu you have commented this like 6 times. You realize it's traditional for dads to pay for weddings or dresses right ? They don't have too but that's usually the case. But they also don't overrule their daughters opinions on what they will be wearing. Stop trying to call her lazy or uneducated for following something traditional that most ppl do.
My view as a daughter: If you're paying for your wedding/dress, it's good to be respectful of the people who raised you, but it's your call. If your parents are paying for your wedding/dress, it's nice if they let you choose, but if you don't want a dress they're comfortable paying for, look in thrift shops and Craigslist and ebay, or find another way to obtain *your* dress.
I was blown away by the 2nd bride's final choice. I've never seen anything close to that sress and it's stunning.
Oh the 2nd bride was just perfect in the dress she said yes too! And the big smile! Beautiful bride and dress!!đđâ€ïž
Yes! I love love love Claire Pettibone dressesđ
Okay but let's be honest the dress were not that reveling......
he was being a little bit over coz like its her wedding man....
And he has to realize shes getting married!! Most likely the wedding night will be eventful. Sheâs a smart woman, clearly sheâs not dressing for anyone but her hubby! If people are looking itâs a them problem, not hers!
IMO, the fronts weren't that revealing. But the back was see-through almost down to the b*tt, and the dad's sitting there while the bride's looking at herself in the mirror, basically looking at his daughter's bottom. Not awkward for anyone ...
OMG that very first blingy dress in the intro with Andy and the girl, was so elegant and dreamy.
Oh HELL TO THE NO!! Mom and daughter both NEED to speak up & tell Dad to BACK OFF!! She's an ADULT, NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL!! Okay to a degree, our daughter's and son's will always be our little boy and little girl, BUT parent's need to LET GO and let them make their own decisions! I for one think it's creepy he's so obsessed with her chest! UGH!!!
dad is aware that his "little girl" is already having sex, right? like whatever he thought his job was "protecting" her, it's over and done. she's getting married, she's not a baby, she doesn't need protecting.
I didn't have sex before marriage. Not everyone does
@@sarahblancas6693 it does not matter the same night it happen anyway you normally 100% have sex with your husband and the other men present for the marriage is family's none are a treat to the bride .their no reason to cover like a nun she not marrying Jesus ...
She may not have đ€·ââïž she would be afraid her dad would find out đ€·ââïž
Dad is absurd. What world is he living in? Apparently about 1850.
Funny that you should say 1850, because 1850 evening gowns were all about exposing one's décolletage and would lowkey be more revealing than what he has in mind lol.
@@PistachioDean Agreed. This hatred of the female bosom is shockingly modern. Why, even in the 17th and 18th centuries, you could see occasional boobage.
You say that but 1850s evening dresses showed some cleavage and were either off the shoulder or just sitting on them and wedding gowns were fashioned in a similar style. Boobs werenât as sexualised back then and were seen as mainly functional for feeding children. They were of course still sexualised but not nearly as much as today.
modesty doesnât have a time
does anyone else also have a father that goes, "don't you want to cover up more?" and when you say "nope, I'm fine," they just go, "well, okay then." because even if they're protective they also want you to make your own decisions?
That dude's obsession with his daughter's body is gross and creepy.
Bride #1: She was so sweet and a bit naive. She just seemed to go along with what her Dad wanted. I am a Daddy's girl, but if I have an opinion, I would kindly and lovingly voice it. Bride #2: I fell in love with dress #2. I really haven't seen anything like it. However, dress #3 was really lovely on her and combined the two aesthetics that she wanted perfectly. Another note, you also have to look at the body shape, she is a rectangle and dress #1 did nothing for her figure, the other two dresses had silhouettes that gave her more curves.
bride #2 and dress #2 was absolutely STUNNING. So classy
@@wlmp18 : Agree đ
EVERY bride that goes into Kleinfeld NEEDS to say that their budget is 1k less so if they want to spend 2k, they say their budget is 1k, because dammit these people ALWAYS go over budget. Do they even remember that alterations etc cost as well? Bugs me tbh... most times they dont even respect the budget and always go over by some amt, small and large alike.
I donât know about that store but for my dress I got âfreeâ alterations since my dress was a certain price. It also had to be fixed several times even after I got married since my party was April 2021. (Wedding was August 2020)
@@jazlen20 I have heard them say on the show that the brides dont take into consideration fitting, alterations and extra bling etc... I could be wrong lol since I watch multiple of these. But regardless they always go over budget drives me batty =D
I feel like this should be the case everywhere. I'm getting married in October and when I was dress shopping I gave myself two budgets. One hard budget (the highest I could afford) and a soft budget (where I'd prefer to stick around. For me my hard budget was 2k, soft was 1k. So I'd tell my consultants I wanted to stay closer to the 1k range. I'm so glad I did because the prices they give you do not include tax and shipping. After taxes and all that was added up on my bill my dress was almost hitting my 2k budget. I have just enough left over for alterations. I would have possibly gone over budget if I had given my consultants at the shops I went to the full 2k budget to consider, and the shops I went to were all ones who respected the budget I gave them and didn't pull dresses that were over that budget.
Oh maybe they have I havenât seen all of them and would miss that haha
I guess some places are different. Mine was just a small one store (well it was a decent size just not a big chain) mine was covered in the price which was great.
Thatâs a smart move. Good luck with your wedding!
Definitely give them the lower budget first best idea. I donât understand why people say I want 10k dress like why itâs worn once maybe 2x cause of Covid and if you renew vows if it still fits then.
I am obsessed with the second girls dress. Looks so good on her. !!!đ
My father NEVER interfered with my wedding dress choice, and Iâm forever grateful for that about him!
I think heâs being extremely rude itâs her wedding day and heâs acting like if even a lil bit of cleavage shows that sheâs gonna throw herself at every man
This guy is a nut.The 1st dress was very modest.I wonder if Daddy is going to exercise this much control in her marriage.
The second bride's dress is stunning!
I agree with the hand sleeve extended ! So beautiful
I think the coverage is more for him if you know what I'm saying...
Yeah, heâs obviously sick minded.
The "boho" 1st dress looked snagged all over!! But I love how positive the bride is with them all and she has a gorgeous figure and look.
The look on the consultant's face when the bride said eight after she asked her where she wanted to be price-wise...LOL.
The dress I absolutely loved the most was, in the beginning when Randy was saying, "it's really hard to shop for a bride" ..0.03 The girl in the background, had on the prettiest wedding dress, I've ever seen.!
Poor Alexa didnât get to pick her dream dress. Just the one she liked most of dads picks.
Yes, you can tell. It seemed like she picked that dress to make her dad happy. Not good.
Poor Alexa didn't pay for her dress. Don't get me wrong, it's lovely someone buys her the dress of her choice. But if they don't, she can choose whether to accept a dress they buy, or pay for her own.
The second bride looked fabulous in her dress choice.
Thereâs nothing sexual about anything she wore⊠the irony of trying to protect his daughter from being sexualised by sexualising her is just unbelievable
But his chest is showing đ€ŠđŸââïž this show really help me learn to not bring ppl so many ppl to my dress fitting especially the ones who going to try to change my mind keyword âtryâ
Haha good point
