“She’s Not Giving In” Mum Says NO To Bride’s Chosen Gown | Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta 

Agreed, what a horrible bully. That is probably nothing compared with what she has said to her daughters about their bodies all their lives. It is so gross. Did y'all miss the messaging about how to create eating disorders in your daughters? Women have to stop doing this to young girls and women who they supposedly love.

“It gives you a waist” as if she doesn’t have a Disney Princess hourglass! “Do something with the hips!” Man, I’m pretty sure nicer authority figures exist in prison camps. That’s some relentless, unsubtle brainwashing! Adult adoption, anyone? These girls need a new mom!

My mom is like that too she make me feel bad about my body

Horrible and I think maybe a jealous mom, I was 120 and a girlfriend of mine said yes I can see you have a bit of a problem there, (my stomach)and I thought how rude but I'd also never forgotten that. Now 40 years later my friend is over 200 lbs herself! I won't go there.

The mother is vile...

She kept touching her stomach afterwards too. You could tell it made her feel insecure.

When her mom touched her stomach and said this isn’t flat. Made me cry. No person let alone a mom should say that to their daughter. This is why women are so self conscious. 🥺🥺 I thought she looked gorgeous.

Right like it’s her day she loved that dress it was so beautiful on her

Careful, Mom! That cross you're wearing may burst into flames! As they say, the only thing that likes a bone is a dog. But to be fair, the mom probably was body-shamed herself during her formative years, so she thinks it's acceptable. I certainly was. My son, studying psychology in college, said about this type of shaming, "These things stay with you for life." I said, "Yes, I know."

She should leave the mother at home,its the brides big day

Yup, I have been told many times to have a stiff upper lip, or hide your crazy, smile through it. it's not healthy to do that.

@@Cantetinza17 you are valid and so are your emotions!!!! ♥️♥️

@@Sami86K Thank you.

What ever happened to this bride. Did she ever get the dress she wanted. Her mother should be ashamed of her self

Maybe that Mom needs a lesson from P!nk on how to build her daughter up, not destroy her.

Could mom be jealous?

Mom wants a pagent dress and won't quit bashing every dress until she gets it.

Mother is suffering from "Snow White's wicked stepmother syndrome" she is obviously jealous that her daughter outshines her in both face and form, as well as personality, so she has to denigrate her, in order to feel superior. Toxic woman.

She’s crapping on the dress, not her daughter’s figure. I agree with the mother. If you got it, flaunt it!

@@cougarjrv9890 💯

The first bride was the sweetest girl and a beautiful smile. Her body was perfect for the dress she loved. Mother's dress shown too much cleavage and the bride didn't want to show cleavage. Too bad the bride had to leave without the dress she loved. Next time she should go by herself. Brides make a big mistake trying to please their mothers. The only person they should please is themselves. They are the one who' are wearing the dress not their mothers or the people they bring with them.

@@joycepino9749 I agree. My mom came with me but I paid for my own dress. Luckily we both loved the same one

Exactly 💯

The mom just made me mad 😒

This is a perfect case of how athletic girls with great bodies fall victim to anorexia.

Yes, yes. Horrible mother is only interested in power and control. If she wants a PERFECT daughter she has a problem. The worldwide audience of RU-vidrs can easily comment on what the mother was wearing. Mum is far from perfect. (Comment from Australia)

EXACTLY

These mother destroy more than their daughter's self-esteem. Every rude and backhanded comment destroys their daughter's heart. And that will drive a deep wedge between them.

We have the same name!

@@aubreydynys0324 aye! 😊

@@ceramicvases wow..

Coming to the comments to say the same!!

Nah the daughter has very bad taste The second dress looked much better on her I’m sorry but it’s true

She looked lovely in the dress she loved. Her mother is a narcissist.

@@jessicamarie8299 well you don't have to like or love it, only the bride has to! It's her and her fiance's wedding day, not yours or her mom's!

My mother is far worse but I can still relate to these girls. My sister and I know a mother’s torment. When I saw the sister crying, I really feel I knew their collective pain.

Jae I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your comment. I will definitely remember it when I cherish the special moments my two sons are thoughtful enough to include me in.

I also lost my adult daughter and while watching all of this unimportant nonsense……I agree with you Jae.

Ah, such a sadness. I’m very sorry for the loss of your dear daughter. We’re not supposed to bury our children. May her memory be for a blessing.

but loved the other daughters dress and cried Sad situation

Yeah, coming in with a book says it all.

Correct! I get so angry when I watch this kind of mother/daughter tug of war over a dress! It's the BRIDE's day, mom - you had yours - so just sit there, be supportive and shut the hell up! I wasn't crazy about the first dress - BUT - the bride loved it and she is so beautiful that she would look fantastic in a potato sack - with the potatoes still in it! Her mother ruined that very special moment for her own daughter and that poor girl left WITHOUT the dress of her dreams! I really hate that first mother.

Mom needs to remember its not about her . I feel bad for her daughters .

Totally glad she's not my Mom. She's just mean spirited. The daughter should just elope and Mom can then take take that book of hers and use it as TP.

** I'm still looking for the "not flat" tummy the mom talked about with the first dress. The mom points to her daughter's nicely toned stomach and says "This is not flat". Kari has a great figure! Her mom simply does not like the style of clothing that Kari likes. Period. ** Kari's mom wants her to look sexy and have her boobs prominently on display so that everyone at the wedding will be fixated on the daughter's sexiness. That's a bit skeevy to me, but different strokes for different folks, I guess. It did make me wonder how much the mother is living vicariously through the daughter. ** BTW, when the mother said "this is for the rest of her life", I rolled my eyes. No, it's for one day. Get a grip, Pageant Mom!

Her and her daughter will never be close, let alone friends. Hopefully this girls future husband will keep his mother in law in check in regards to his wife. Like my husband did with my mom! I know because my mom came to me and said Jimmy told her not to talk to me like that anymore. What a husband I have. 😊

@@nancyjohnson5810 OH! How lucky you are! I never had that. My ex had 3 children and his mum and I was never accepted. He knew I had no mum of my own so it really mattered but he never stood up for me in front of them. Btw I think this mum is SO Selfish imposing the glam look She likes over what her daughter likes. Her daughter is STUNNING as well as very lovely

I will never understand that either

@@nancyjohnson5810 This Girl’s Future husband will keep his mother in law in check.

She wants her daughter to look the best and that other dress doesnt look impressive and ahes immature. You can tell in the beginning

You're there to give an opinion.... she gave one.

@@Be1smaht The mother was there for support but instead she body shamed her daughter and made her feel bad. The dress didn’t look good to the MOTHER and the mother is not the bride. If the bride likes it that’s all that matters since it’s HER wedding.

@@Be1smaht the bride was in no way immature during the beginning of the video? She loved her dress and wanted her mom to appreciate it too.

Remember made for TV. Not real life😢

@@ceramicvases I didn't read what you wrote before I sent my response to the video. I'm glad it turned out happier and you got a dress that makes you happy (and didn't go over budget - very disrespectful of BBL to show you something out of budget in the first place). I also hadn't thought before about how the show might manipulate for drama. Even with all of these mitigations though, I'm still concerned about your mom's words and actions. Maybe, like one of the writers said, your mom had a mom just like her. Regardless, know that all is well with you, as you were, are, and will be.

@@ceramicvases Hun everyone was commenting on your MOTHER! IDK about the show or the consultants but your Mother is something else - She did not care that you lit up in that dress and looked beautiful - she picked and nit picked invisible flaws. SMH. I hope when you went back you left Mom at home!

Doubtful by the way the sis was crying. Maybe she just conforms more to stay out of the doghouse. I wouldn’t be surprised if she beats them by the way the kid felt obligated to smile while crying. Quite an unnatural talent.

Nah that mom is jealous and bitter and believes that misery loves company

@@ceramicvases I rewatched it to see what hurtful things were said. Monty saying he wanted to take the mom outside and talk to her was about the worst thing. Is that so bad? I mean it’s his honest opinion and jobs like his require unimaginable patience with the public, so he may have been thinking it but he was not going to act on it.

If she's fat I'm a MAMMOTH 🦣

She learned to fake smile for 23 years.

Trauma response. The mother is narcissistic/ ab_sive. To both girls.

I get having an opinion, but that only needs to be heard once if asked for; she really didn't care to pretend like it was OK to make her daughter happy. Coming with that book to dictate was enough

thank God my daughter shopped without me

@@nicolaablett7790 oh

It's ALL about the mother. So sad for the daughter.

When the first mother started trying to talk her daughter into preferring "Mama's perfect pick," I found myself muttering, "Stop. Just stop right now," it triggered me so badly. That was my mother -- always explaining to me why my taste was lousy and hers was the epitome of chic. She was really the epitome of aspirational upper-middle-class. I am more bohemian-artsy, but really shoot for a timeless funky elegance. Why is that "bad?"

well said

The mother could not possibly love her daughter and treat her like that. Mom us wanting to dress a Barbie Doll not her daughter. Not only that but the mother needs to look at her own far from perfect body and face. Such a toxic cold woman

@@audreymaqks she probably picks on her daugthers body because she is insecure about herself and maybe even about how her body looked when she was the same age. They too are victims of the societal pressure around how a womans body should look. It’s very deep rooted in some people tho. It’s very very sad

That’s technically not her uterus- she pointed to her upper stomach and the uterus is tiny. Its also far back in the pelvis behind serval layers and other organs. It’s just her stomach which is where people carry extra fat. not her uterus

@@Angel-ts8rc right lol. If your uterus is protruding you need to see a dr.

Mother is very jealous of her daughter

The poor girl really liked that first dress. I can't imagine she would regret it at all. She clearly wasn't all that happy with the dress her mum wanted!

Seriously what the hell is up with some of these moms. It's so sad, they clearly have deep issues and now they're dumping those into their daughters, like, consciously. It's like some sad, maternally-passed-down, curse

Why bring them though?...... why why ehy you want an opinion and support, but also because 100 people will be analyzing and looking at you and there will be pictures

Completely agree!! Her smile is really precious and she looked so in love

I know I was just thinking that😭❤️ she’s absolutely beaming while talking about him, and it made me beam with her.

Or infatuation or naivete or everyone's getting married and now I want to or....

Ita sweet though

If she had looked at her daughter's happy smile, she would have felt those feelings...

@@isabellefischer5145 I doubt it. This woman is so jealous of her daughter. I don’t think she has the capacity to feel happy for her child. Just a total toxic waste.

The mother was purely narcissistic, egotistical and vile.

She didn’t even have to show those feelings. All she had to say was, “It’s not what I was picturing for you, but it is pretty, and you clearly love it. So if you want it to be, it’s your dress.” Or, if she wanted to be more candid about it, “I don’t love it, but I love that you love it.”

I am sure you were the most caring, loving and kind mom to them! Hugs.

You sound like a wonderful mother who understands what's important. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your unimaginable loss.

@@VivianLund Thank you. It is hard, but it focuses the mind on the important things in life.

How to see the Karen :

The first dress was beautiful and looked great on the bride. Mom was mean to point out her non-flat stomach

@@kcoffman3210 I’m a bigger gal myself but I have seen smaller women like her have they stomach bump but the thing is I think that’s the way her body is made like it’s never really fat but maybe their organs. Idk how to explain but the post is I don’t think it’s fat. And to say it is and make her feel some type of way is not right.

Hopefully she comes back without her mother.

@Leonie okay thank you 😊 i knew it was vital organs and shit lol 😂

I hope she's never developed an eating disorder

Yup mums are so judgemental my parents are always telling me to lose weight

I agree, didn’t catch if that awful mom was paying or not. I’d never let someone pay if it means they thing they get to ultimately chose what I wear.

I never even considered asking my parents to pay nor did my mom accompany me to shop for gowns (just my husband-to-be, who was the only one whose opinion mattered).

@@BasicYTHandle I always wanted to pay for my only daughter’s dress out of love, and I did, and sent her $1000.00. Then, she never waited for me to go with her to try on dresses, and eventually left me out of her wedding. 😰

You clearly are not from an Italian family. I paid for my own gown, and my mother still had plenty to say.

@@diamondangel1969 Why did you not cut her off? "You are not paying, stfu."

Who said mom is laying for the dress? I thought it sound like she was paying for her own dress

In fairness though, the bride said she brought them for their honesty, and as far as we can tell the mom isn't paying for the dress, so she seems to be wanting the mom to fake her feelings

@@poponachtschnecke I understand. But I see difference between "honesty" and "my opinion is the right one". Yes, mom said what she felt, but might end there. In my opinion she pushed the bride too much into her vision of "dream dress" and didn't let her follow her choice of style. Mom hate the dress because they were "plain", but bride loved them from the same reason. I don't want mom to fake anything, just accept that bride loves the dress and don't be so vocal about her choice.

@@ceramicvases thanks for posting that, yeah - comments staff made are definitely disrespectful I still I think they can't misinterpret the mother - she was the one saying hurtful stuff, we saw her.

That bride is stunningly beautiful so almost everything will look good at her. I think she looked gorgeous in both dresses, the bride's pick was more elegant, classy, simple, the mom's pick was more sexy wawawoom (show them till go them) type of dress. I am actually kinda surprised b/c usually it's the other way around. Moms want something "modest", brides go for more sexy.

I don't care for the belt detail on any dress. Somehow, it always seems to hide a small waist rather than accent it. So I agree with the mom on that point. But the _rest_ of the first dress was way prettier than the second one! The design was more elegant. I didn't care for the sequin patches just slapped on the 2nd dress. The bride had an amazing figure and could wear whatever rag and look fantastic!

Kudos to you mama. You should give lessons to moms on this show. Silver lining, maybe it's all scripted? Maybe...kinda sorta?

Her mother probably did the same to her. Hopefully the cycle doesn't continue with the bride if she has children.

She wants her to have big hips and a concave stomach. Realistic as hell, lady!
