Shadonna Edwards wants long dresses for her bridesmaids, however her sister insists on wearing a short dress. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
Ikr I was cringing so hard when she kept saying how good she was at mind games and how she still had a clue "tricks" up her sleeve, like girl get over yourself😒
Some sociopaths and narcissists are drawn to this profession, exactly because they can manipulate people that are in their time of need, people that are fragile. It's an enjoyable game for them. I heard too many sad stories about it...
Exactly what I said to my narcissistic father in law who was kicking off about wearing a morning suit - I said he was not obliged to come to our wedding but if he chose to, he would wear the damn suit like all the other men in the wedding. His choice.
Oh my god what a manipulator. She literally thinks her PhD in Psychology is going to make her an expert at forcing suggestions into peoples' minds. Luckily, Lori helped the bride figure it out.
Phd..more like abc from sesame street lol..😂👍...she hasn't got a fkn clue..her sister will still say what she wants for her day, i hope she doesn't give in to her spoiled childish sister.
She sounds like a "teenager" who read too many Psychology books and thinks she's in control You having the degree does not mean you own it I hope you are not licensed bcz you are BAD at it
If Lori and the staff can see through her mind games, she’s not doing a very good job at manipulating in general. Part of being good at it is keeping your cards hidden instead of being so thirsty for attention by being like ‘I’M A CERTIFIED PSYCHOLOGIST, I GOT A PHD AND Y’ALL HILLBILLIES DON’T. BOW DOWN TO ME BITCHES’.
Is no one else going to bring up that the sister tries on wedding dresses and sends photos of them to the bride? Edit: Hey, I’m a top comment! Yes! Thank you for all the likes 💜
What if being disturbing and obvious about trying to manipulate the bride into picking short bridesmaid dresses is just a Long Game to convince the bride to stick with the floor length dresses even if the other bridesmaids want shorter? *x-files theme*
I do not like the way her sister was act to said she will like to wear a short dress it was not your day win it is your day then you said what you like what you were doing was not right to your sister if she said long 👗 that is you sister day.
In this case, I think "my sister is a psychologist" = "she read a few $1.99 psychology e-books and now she thinks she's an expert." 'Psychology degree?' Ha ha ha.... yeah, right, and I'm the Dalai Llama at the weekends. If you DO have a 'Psychology Degree,' honey, you got it online from 'Qualificiations-R-Us' discount site.
Alright here’s the tea. I used to be very manipulative when I was a teenager, and I went through extensive counseling and learned to be more honest with myself and others. But from somebody who used to be controlling: 1. Telling people you’re going to manipulate them puts them on guard. Acting naive is how you convince people. 2. WHERE IS HER POKER FACE? She freaking smirked every time she said something. Kinda gives it away. 3. She’s exhibiting classic signs of narcissism, and frankly her psychology degree might be rooted in that. Narcissists want to think they control everyone, and convincing herself she understands the human mind better than everyone is else is textbook. 4. She’s overplaying her hand. She’s clearly been trying to manipulate the bride’s decisions prior to the fitting, so now the bride has wised up. She should have picked one, maybe two, things to subtly manipulate if that’s what she wanted, but trying to change every detail is just not gonna happen no matter how good of a manipulator you are. TLDR: yikes. Sister is a narcissist who isn’t actually very good at concealing her intentions.
Sarah Ford I’m curious, since you were once a manipulator yourself (props to you for seeking to change that about yourself by the way, I’m sure it wasn’t an easy road!), what were some things that others did that prevented you from being able to manipulate them? I feel like I want to learn how to better stand my ground against manipulators and know how to deal with them since I have some VERY big manipulators in my family. I hope this question isn’t offensive. I thought it would be interesting to hear insights from someone who has been on the other side of it.
I relate to you a lot honestly. Sometimes I can be very manipulative with my friends but I always feel bad after. I wish I could get help but my family wouldn’t let me
Random Citizen the manipulator will always play the victim card if called out and will try to get others to agree with them but just stand your ground and try to not get influenced Bc they will never admit to being in the wrong but best of luck to you
@@morganmatthews7550 oh some family members are abusive psychopaths that require restraining orders. I definitely think unless she learns to stop manipulating people, she needs to be removed.
@@slantos2668 well family is family and theres no reason to get a restraining order on your sister if she has an opinion its childish and un-ruley and un-called for...just my opinion
+Kk Black- I know right? I cant stand people who are like that. It is the bride's big day, not the sister's. If the sister gets married one day, then she can have her short bridesmaids dresses for her bridesmaids. Until then, she needs to just shut up and respect the wishes of the bride.
When I get married I'm not telling the brides maids and or made of honour what hair styles to wear or what make up they can have or if they can have their nails done that's going a bit over board....
I mean the bride is drop dead gorgeous in comparison to the sister, plus the fact the bride doesn’t smile like a FUGGIN PSYCHO CREEP. Let’s just hope she doesn’t lock the bride in a closet in attempts to steal the groom.
The funny thing is, the sister looked better in the long red dress, than in the short one. I hate how they overplayed this "psychology PhD" route to get more drama in this episode.
okay but the fact that the sister texted pictures of herself trying on wedding dresses is super psychotic, she’s obviously jealous and she’s not mentally well. reminds me of my cousin oof
I think the psychologist sister is in danger of abusing her position on her potential clients. If she's newly qualified then she should be mentored before she is allowed free rein on vulnerable people who she could damage even further and set them back..playing mind games to gain power for her ego is abusive and cunning...i don't think her personality is suited to this kind of job..i would certainly be raising concerns with her future employer.
The Great Saffouf That’s actually not true. It’s called reverse psychology. Telling someone you’re manipulating them can often be taken as a joke and then the person being manipulated might focus on the wrong things trying to spot it. But that sister was not doing that. She was just being a creepy jealous bitch
"300 degrees in the summertime..." really now. 🤔 I live in a desert and we only reach 119 degree weather. Where is her sister getting married at....a valcano?! 🌋 Edit: I Googled Summertime in Atlanta and their highest is usually 89 degrees...sooooo...I am still sticking to the volcano theory. 😂
Georgia heat is no joke the humidity is bad. 89 is the average its usually in the 90's mid june july and August...but with humidity it feels like its in the 100's. Ga is known for its subtropical climate...unless you have lived here...you won't get it.
omg these generalizations about psychologists are so annoying, the fact that she is a manipulator has nothing to do with her career its about her own personality🤦🏻♀️ some people are literally out there thinking psychologists are some kind of mind wizards ...
Yeah exactly....did a psychology internship during high school, literally not true. They understand people's thinking but they don't learn how to manipulate people
@Naire K that's not a psychologist at all. I wish we could control people, make the job a lot easier. Psychology is made up of people who either want to help people or need help themselves (she's the latter).
You must be one of them like her, it has everything to do with her PhD, no telling how many people have been manipulated by her in the medical field..creepy..
I completely agree. My mom is a psychotherapist and contrary to popular believe that does not mean that she is somehow able to mess up and twist peoples minds to do her bidding. This absolute misunderstanding the profession makes me irrationally angry.
As somebody who is currently studying to become a psychologist, I can confirm that we are NOT supposed to manipulate people. We are supposed to be helpful, positive, and encouraging.
That older sister is a witch. She jealous and is hell-bent on undermining her sister who is the BRIDE. Too much more of that, she wouldn’t be maid of honor; she probably wouldn’t be in the wedding.
She isn't using her tricks as a psychologist but just being bratty and manipulative😑 Also just how desperate is she that she wants to try on wedding dresses without even having a bf🙄 The red dress was pretty.
Thank u. That was literally one of the more hideous dresses I've seen, maybe it's because it didn't flatter her. ( I think the sister was being nice by saying it fit her well, cause I didn't see it)
Ikr, when my best friend gets married I will go by her rules but I will say if I dont feel confortable on a certain type of neck line or if I feel exposed like from the waist up
Amen! I was single when my best friend married 7 years ago and when my sister married 4 years ago. For both weddings, I LOVED the way they designed their weddings! Each couple was represented beautifully in their tastes for their big day! Someday, I will have my day, too. My wedding will reflect the tastes of my husband and I the way their weddings reflected their tastes. No one's is better or worse. Just different. Although I am single, I bought my wedding dress several years ago when I saw it on Groupon brand new, never worn, ~80% off. My sister and best friend were just as happy for me finding my dress as they were when they found theirs. I was likewise thrilled for them when they bought theirs! (Cried seeing them in their respective dresses. Lol) More people should be aware of being thoughtful and considerate of someone else's choices for their big day. I have a sister-in-law I didn't know well that wanted me to be a bridesmaid. I said yes on impulse, but didn't actually feel comfortable doing it. Due to feeling pushed by her to cancel plans more than once in order to go try on bridesmaid dresses because some place was having a sale and it was the last day, etc., I backed out of being a bridesmaid because she wasn't being considerate of my time or budget. She often wanted myself, my sister, and her friends to try on dresses outside of our budget. In the end, I felt much, much more comfortable not being a bridesmaid. She and my brother were bride- and groomzilla on the day of, and leading up to the wedding.
Candy K That's wonderful that you have found your dress ! It takes a strong person to say no to a family member but you need to be true to your beliefs and be comfortable with your decision. 🙏❤️
How is that comment racist all she said was she looked pretty. Just because she said skin color it isn’t racist. Racism is when you being a complete Jerk to someone because of their color.
PhD in Psychology would understand this: You'll wear your hair like all the rest of the female bridal party, You'll wear the same jewellery as the rest of the female bridal party, you'll wear the same shoes as the rest of the female bridal party and you will wear the same dress as the rest of the female bridal party, or you'll be sitting at the back of the ceremony in whatever you have chosen to wear that doesn't match, exactly, the rest of the female bridal party. It's your choice!
Psychologists are supposed to help ppl with their mental issues not try to hurt someone or ruin something for someone by manipulating them... She should know that things like that can mess ppl up
Most psychologists know ethics and would never want to manipulate people. Psychologists keep people from manipulating themselves. It's really upsetting the way this girl acts on the show.
Manipulator: "It's hard to imagine everybody in this dress because it's so detailed." Dress: *literally has minimum of detail* hun what kind of a degree did you get because everybody saw right through that
I loved how the assistants kept shooting sister down. She needs to take a breath, its not her wedding, no matter how many wedding dresses she tries on.
I've been a bridesmaid nine times and every time I've just worn the dress the bride picked - whether I liked it or not. I did not always like them but that's part of being a bridesmaid!
Behavior modification was one of my favorite classes in college, but using it on your friends/family in such an overt way is a good way to end up alone. No one likes to feel manipulated.
I cannot imagine inviting someone knowing full well that they are opinionated, manipulative and opposed to my ideas to be such a big part of my wedding. You're a bridesmaid, you're there to make the bride look good while being emotional support. If that means you roll in mud before the ceremony and show up with a smile, you do it.
I'm not one to post negative comments (don't need the drama hehe) but psychology aside, the first short dress the sister came out in, looks like she's wearing a towel.....(and the purely psycho grin is nooooot helping) the dress the bride chose for them to wear is amazing
As a Psychologist, I am very disappointed that this fellow colleague abuses her power to manipulate others, including her own sister. It was her day SiS, like Chill, use your tools wisely.
Such misinterpretation of a psychologist. Psychologist dont play games and manipulate people to get their way. It is sooo subjective, don't generalise please!
Sadly, it is more common than you think, mothers, sisters, bridesmaids thinking they can choose the brides gown and the bridesmaids gowns.......it's the BRIDE'S day , she chooses her dress and the bridesmaids dresses, it's one freaking day - no one is telling them they have to live in the damn bridesmaid dress, i'm sure they would not appreciate someone telling them what bride dress to wear or what their bridesmaids should wear - they need to chill and defer to bride unless bride has them wearing fishnet dresses - Been there done that - momster and sismonster when I was bride dress shopping, after 2 days - took my daddy with me and found my very simple dress that " I, the bride" wanted to wear.........this is NOT all scripted - real world can suck when you have bridal party that think they know best or think they should be able to choose - not their day !!
Sometimes a midi-length can be a decent compromise between elegance and temperature consideration for summer weddings, but that sister really needs to stop trying to be a manipulative bully. It's not her wedding, not her day. Negotiations and compromise are a good thing, so that everybody leaves with a dress that flatters them and they're happy with, but at the end of the day, it's not about the bridesmaids, or the MoB or MoG. Yes, the bridesmaids should be happy with their dresses, but they don't get to be manipulative little c**ts. All parties involved need to be able to talk about things like reasonable, rational adults, or the whole dang wedding won't work.
LOL agree, I cringe at what my sister choose for our dresses, but it was the 70's and it was her wedding, I wore the dress and the big, wide brimmed hat with the ribbon and bow on it 🤣😅😯😊😅
Watching this with my sis: Me: What if you were the bride and I tried doing this to you? Sis: ..... Me: Ha! Scared are we? Sis: Do you really want to know? Me: Uh...yeah? Sis: There wouldn't be a 'you' anymore. Me: .....
" it's going to be 300 degrees in Georgia in July" I've been in Hawaii at the end of summer time and it doesn't get to 300 degrees I don't think that's even possible.
Honestly, this read more like tactless goofball than master manipulator and had the same scripted feel of the "scientist" episode, where they found one aspect of one member of the bridal party to develop a script around
Seems like she has a Ph.D. in selfishness. Why are people so uncooperative and insistent on having their way? Wear a short dress at YOUR wedding. Sister needs a therapist herself. Sounds like Narcissistic Personality Disorder to me!
