Bride’s Mum Breaks Into The Storeroom! | Say Yes To The Dress 

I totally agree. Mom doesn’t care what the daughter wants

The most annoying overbearing mother ever. The dress was elegant on its own.

😱 Saddly a SOUL CRUSHING mother who is completely UNAWARE of herself .... " 😱whether she likes it or not". 😱

Not all mothers

@@colleenosullivan857 That "whether she likes it or not" comment is very revealing.

Yes! And I love how he reminded the wife that he chose dress #2 first.

What a set of idiots. Thank God for daddy. The beads took away from the dream. How can you you want something to be amazing for the person whether or not they like.

He has many years of his wife training him to be quiet and humble.

Exactly!!

But the mom and dad are paying for the dress. If they are paying for it, they get a say. If she wanted no strings attached, she should buy the dress herself. She's a grown adult.

​@@catladyfromky4142NOT when she didn't want the wedding in 5he first place and the Mom did it's NOT the HORRIBLE mom's wedding she had her's let her pick her own dress!!!

I CAN NOT STAND THIS MOM!

@@catladyfromky4142I know a lot of people feel like the person paying for the dress has an important say in the choice. But I disagree. Tell the bride the budget and then let her choose! I really don’t like it when money equals power among family members. I also think this mother could benefit from some counseling. I think she is really struggling to let her little girl go.

He should have grown some balls and told his wife off.

It always shocks me that the moms act unaware of how selfish the things they say are and not embarrassed to be inconsiderate of their daughters feelings. It could be the editing.

Yes. .and how she said .. twice.. 'if she likes it or not'.. awful woman.

@@amysilin8122yes, or staged.

Mom is irony, for she knew it. Control freaks know and love to ruin special days.

Right? Love the dad!

Take one person.. not a committee. lol.

as for the fiance choosing lal her dresses. MY God. Red flag for the future or what?

I bet she snoops in other people's trashcans.

Ihave twice had to throw out of my home someone who did that to me. A long term 'friend'. I even warned him not to do it the second time.. walked back into my sitting room and he had opened a drawer. The man was not a thief.. he said he was looking at the build of the old set of drawers.. out he went.. I was LIVID!

he also ONCE took my dog for a walk. I gave him full instructions on how she, despite my best efforts and the dog training I took her too... not great at recall if she thought something more interesting was going on. He walked her past a cafe on the beach and across the wide beach. then let her off lead. As he is not her owner I told him not to do that. he defied my instructions. She ran straight back to the cafe where people were eating.. smelling bacon and there was another dog there to play with.. he WHISTLED her back.. or tried to. I had given him instructions on her words for recall.. and he didn't use any of them. I even told him to walk her on his left side as I do.. and all the right words she was trained to. She ran off TOWARDS THE ROAD. He told me about it when he came back. I was so angry with him and he blamed her for not coming back to his whistle. I said. when did I say I had trained her to whistle.. never! The tin lid as it were was I got cancer last year. This eejit rang me up and I gave him all the details.. I was getting a lumpectomy.. not a masectomy and I explained the difference. 3 weeks later he rang and asked.. 'are they CUTTING off your breast then?' No care of his words to me at a sensitive time. i was keeping to together as I am alone in all of this.. it was brutal and rude and unintelligent and stupid. We haven't spoken since. I am much better off. I had known him over 40 years.. enough was enough. There are fools out there.. get rid of them. I hung on far too long over far too many instances.

I shudder to think what she will be like when the children come along.

Ya, no kidding 😏

What a chilling statement... made my blood run cold! Who SAYS that?!

This was filmed in 2009. I wonder if the bride and her husband are even still married? He seemed rather pushy, too, and voiced his opinion on her choice of gown even though he shouldn't have had a say in it at all.

God help her when she has babies.. that woman won't let up.. next stop Dr. Phil's show for her being too controlling on their married life, home and any children they a blessed with.

My Mum was just so easy going. What a blessing we had in her anyway.

Love that first dress…

Shut up Mom! LOL

Dress 2 is even nicer

SHUT UP MOM!!!! LOL

Oh god…beadwork or bling. Wtf is wrong with people. It’s not a costume, it’s a freaking wedding dress.

Ya…….what an ignorant thing to say. 😡

How confusing for the daughter, she would want to believe her mother cares for her, but that bit at the end really tells the story “whether she likes it or not”… it’s only really about the mom. I hope this daughter cut ties and left her mom in the dust, that woman will be a steamroller FOREVER.

@@naturefleur2062 hate to imagine if they have children

Does this mother not see the irony of that?

One wonders if the bride ever developed a backbone against her pushy mother...and, frankly, the man she was marryhing. This was filmed in 2009, so if they managed to stay married for the last 14 or 15 years, it would be only because she grew sufficiently to stand up to both of them.

right? ! as soon as she said "whether she likes it or not" that told me everything i needed to know about how controlling this woman is - im sure she just let people railroad her with her wedding. so glad we hardly told anyone we were getting married - people still dont know lmao

The groom also wanted to have a traditional wedding and wasn’t supporting her her simple dress vision.

Remember that the show overtly looks for drama, for conflict, and everyone coming onto the show knows that.

I am a mother myself and NEVER would I ignore my daughter's wishes so recklessly. It is selfish and self-aggrandizing. None of these mothers would have accepted such behavior from their own mothers.

Yeah I think the groom is momsters little helper! He will never stand up for her bc he is too busy with lips permanently sewed to MIL butt!

I think the only reason she didn’t elope is her fiancé wanted a traditional service. Yeah to Dad for having her back.

100% agree. She had some pretty cool original plans to elope in Spain. I had a friend whose mom & sister wanted her & her husband to have this Cinderella like wedding. She had to put her foot down & tell them "no;" she & her husband want a simple affair. She got married in a short white dress, he wore a gray suit, & most importantly, they were happy.

My mother would have done the same to me if I had not waited six months to tell her we were married.

This was filmed in 2009, so whatever transpired is long over with. It'd be mildly interesting to know if Hilary ever developed a spine to stand against both her bossy, brazen, pushy mother and her rather controlling fiance/husband. I'm not interested enough to set up any social media accounts just to find that out, though.

@@kateyare4708 Wow! Your mother must've had blue fits when you told her. My controlling mother certainly would have! How and under what circumstances did you tell her? I hope there were people around so she couldn't rip every follicle of hair out of your head in her initial anger.

Imagine what she must be like now, 15 years after this episode, and probably two or three grandchildren in the picture! She likely DEMANDS all sorts of attention from the grands, and very likely still makes things difficult for her daughter, unless the daughter developed a backbone against the pushy old hag, and against her own pushy husband...he should have stood by her decisions, not with his MIL-to-be. This was filmed in 2009.

Ditto!

I agree: how does he put up with this mean woman? Maybe he is afraid she will kill him if he tries to leave. She sure is an unpleasant female. I wish he had married someone lovely.

Sadly there are more men that are “hen pecked” than most think. People always think it is the women who are the victims.

@@kathleenardrey5094Yea, she seems very mean.

People finally realize that men can be victims too.

And Mom is definitely not her daughter's best friend.A best friend doesn't pull that sort of crap!

I agree. He also said, once they blinged up her dress, "Now.. I am lucky."" Like her job was to make HIM feel lucky in front of his buddies.

It’s the brides’ day and I wish she had put her foot down. I think she should ditch the belt and other bling before she walks down the aisle!

@@lindabruns6020 Agreed!

Agreed also

The "sleeves" looked better on her before the alterations

@@jessicadevaal2111 I agree! It ruined the whole chest line and upper arms.

🚩

Yes! Since when does the groom have a say in which wedding gown is chosen?? Red flag right there

That mother probably scares him too. Let’s hope this couple moved far away from her. 😮

it's already abuse, but isn't she used to that from a certain family member anyway? exchanging one cage for another.

The way I understood he was the one who picks a dress when she's unable to decide.

I don’t think men should ever be allowed in the store unless it’s the gay best friend with good taste and even better boundaries

If they're still married, they now have 14 years of it behind them. This was filmed late-ish in 2009.

@@jb6712I was wondering how old this episode. That explains a lot.

I wonder if either of them is still alive? This was filmed in 2009, and they both looked rather old at that time.

I wonder, if on their anniversary, she lets her husband see his testicles that she keeps in her purse.

If you were her best friend you would know why she's crying.

I hope the bride 'forgot' to put the belt on before she walked down the aisle.

@@OnePoetWanderer LOL. LOL. Great suggestion!

Agreed.

You know, it just occurred to me- something I learned in Psychology class in college. People tend to repeat patterns they grew up with, even negative ones. The bride to be grew up with an overbearing, abusive mother who made all the decisions for her. A tragic situation but one she subconsciously was used to. Well, she found the same person in her future husband. Sooo sad.

Simple dresses make the bride stand out and are much more timeless. This episode is old, but the dress she chose would still be nice today.

@@charitadeknegt6661I don’t agree as simple dresses are too plain and forgettable.

*whether

WHETHER...she didn't refer to any meteorological events.

The dear man has been hen-pecked all his life by that "plant" he married, and it will be worse when the daughter departs to a home of her own. Firm up, Daddy!!

YES-the groom and her mother will make this bride's life hell. Run Hillary, run from both of them.

@@kathleenardrey5094 This was filmed in 2009, so....

Yes, I can tell this woman is a total control freak. I bet her husband is hen pecked. How does he put up with this woman?

Not that it matters now---this was filmed in 2009---but the fiance said he wanted "an old-fashioned wedding." He didn't want the two of them to go off to Spain (?) and get married there, he wanted the pomp and circumstance bit.

You do know that the production crew forces the bunch being filmed to hype up any tiny bit of drama to increase viewership, yes? These "reality" shows are nothing but lies---all kinds of articles and videos on the Internet documenting that---and the bridal shows are at the top of the list. The only single person who never gets criticized is Randy, and that's because he will not play the "hype it up" game with the camera crew. This episode is from 2009, just an FYi.
