Sibling Rivalry Could Ruin This Bride’s Appointment | Say Yes To The Dress Big Bliss 

Yep. She just wants her mother to be proud of her and look at her the same way she looks at her sisters.

It’s sister to sister jealousy.

Yes but it's also not fair to expect the mother to have a reaction she has no control over. The mother can, and did, be supportive, but crying at a dress is an involuntary response. And who knows what the circumstances were that day that lead to the tears. The bride was putting all of the pressure on her mother rather than just picking something she liked.

Facts😊

Her sister is one of the most beautiful brides I ever seen, its hard when someone like that is in the family with average looking sisters.

I agree, they were tears of relief. I'm getting very fed up with this pressure for everyone to cry. Fgs people can be happy without blubbing all over the place.

I found it so awkward that she wanted her mom to burst out crying lol 😂 I’m sorry the way my mom and I are shopping for dresses for the wedding is totally different. My mom has better taste than I do for sure

💯

😂 😂 😂 The pressure was high for the mumma 😂😂😂

Remember her mother when you think that acting is easy :D. But honestly it was the best dress.

How in the world do you figure that?! It made her belly look absolutely huge and showed every line!!

@@mistybollinger3312 they will order in her size so it doesn't show every line.

@@mistybollinger3312 are you expecting a dress to make her change body type altogether she has a belly and its gonna be there regardless once she gets the dress to her measurements it'll look a better fit but her stomach is her stomach and the dress looked gorgeous

I don’t think she found a dress that’s flattering at all.

Beautifully said. UK.

I think she will be happy for she found someone who loves her for who she is and who saw the beauty she has inside and out no matter her size

I think you are right. Now that she has the dress, she'll start agonizing about the catering, the flowers, the music, the photographer, because everything about HER wedding has to be better than what her sister had. Not a comfortable or productive way to live.

@@morganminpin It really isn't. People should live for their own happiness, not the competition to outdo others because there will always be someone who had it better no matter how good one has it.

Had a co-worker in her 50s and she would talk about how she disliked her sisters... her jealousy must have been a life long thing. It took me a while to figure out that her itchyness stemmed from her own insecurity. She was such an unpleasant person. Imagine being like that one's entire life an into their 50's but for no real reason. She was married, had a house, a decent life, frankly an easy job, she had a dog, had children and grandchildren but she was a pill and it was unnecessary all because of some mental issue.

@@emmalouie1663 That's why I always say, "Live by YOUR rules and love yourself. Forget what others do or how they live and stop comparing oneself to others because things aren't always what they seem.

too true

She probably can't afford to go to Al and Jo with that big wedding.

Or Auntie Gok. He will make her look and feel beautiful

Jo and Al didn’t exist when this episode was aired. The bridal industry as a whole did not exist for plus size brides. So this was as good as she could have gotten. Now there are tons of plus size designers and shops that cater to them. In the US. Why do you think that the US doesn’t have any shops like that now? So you think that they don’t exist if there isn’t a TV show about them? LOL

It's hilarious to me that they're pulling out these klienfeld's episodes with curvy brides like thats the only reason we like curvy brides boutique. It's literally Jo and Al. These consultations have NOTHING on Jo and Al

Looks like they did have a nice wedding, she wore the dress, too.

@@L.Spencer that makes me very happy.

Here's sister's do

Great wedding vs great marriage

Its about that. She just wants to be loved like her sister

she feels that way because her sisters were always favorited over her, for being plus sized and the middle child. i think it’s more about being loved and appreciated the way her sisters are rather than just wanting to put her sister down..

Fully agree. I'm plus sized and the middle child of 7, 5 of which including me are women and the fact that she was adamant her dress tops hers sister's dress screamed child for me. It wasn't about validation once she said that. Her sister also encouraged that mindset during that first appointment. My younger sister had boys and kept trying until she had a girl at child 5 when I had my only child that happened to be a girl. I'm in no way competitive so I never understood it. I hope she learns to live her life happily rather than comparing what should be her life mile stones with her sisters' and ruining those moments for herself.

I agree the dress was really beautiful and she looked gorgeous in it !

In my household it’s different. I’m the oldest but most forgotten . I have 2 younger sisters and they’re the favorites . So I definitely feel Linda’s pain .

​@Pretty_Nesha Oh wow. That's so different from my household but i feel you. I'm the youngest and the most forgotten lol. I've been competing all my life having the best score in school, having a prestigious job etc, but I've given up now. I know I'll never be enough. My own mother didn't want me but didn't have an abortion because of my dad. They already had a girl and boy so she didn't see a reason to have another one. I just thank God that he sent other parental figures in my life through the neighbors and I'm now on a path towards the career I want soo...yeah Sorry for the huge trauma dump lol. I just needed to let that out 😅

True but most parents don't intentionally let it happen. It would be lying for them to say they don't have a favorite child, it's just human nature. And when they do there's jealousy and rivalry.

Boys in high school always tried to generate rivalry between my sister and I, even girls too, inviting just me to their birthdays cause I wasn''t "the pretty one". I never went to those, and our friedship with my sister was always the most important thing, for us both, thanks to my parents. I'm not sure that there's always a favourite child, we're all different and parents should be able to work on appreciating the different traits in their kids. We're 3 sisters too, and teachers would always compare us, boys would say my sis was the pretty one and I wasn't, etc. and specially through teenage years parents should help their children see how that's just a stupid game and that the bond between sisters can be beautiful!!

Option 2: one is fat and the other is really fat. She was probably constantly compared to her sister by other people and this has very little to absolutely nothing to do with the mom.

My sister and I are 12 years apart and different in every way possible. She hit major mile stones leagues before I ever would. Because of that mom was very vigilant to stop me from comparing myself to my sister. There's no way I could compare to her, we're two different people at different stages of our lives who want completely different things. I'm grateful she did that because now I can live along side her.

I am the middle child of 3 girls in my family. There are 6yrs between my older sister & myself & 7yrs between myself & my younger sister. I completely understand how this bride feels. My Mum always says there is no difference between us & she loves us all the same. BUT... I always have felt like the 'outsider' as my sisters have more in common with each other & my Mum. My older sister is awesome with business & brains etc...my younger sister was born with a slight heart defect, but is ok now. She is extremely close to my Mum & is now her full time carer as Mum is now wheelchair bound. The 3 of them have the same opinions, some hobbies & interests in common, whereas I don't... I have nothing in common with them at all, other than being blood related (even my blood group is different! Lol!). So, even tho it was never intentional, & my Mum always stopped any discussion about it at all, it has always been the 3 of them & me on my own...

I am lucky.. My sister can be a witch but is supportive of me.

hey stranger! im super proud of everything you’ve accomplished, you rock :)

My parents always disapproved of me dating anyone so I get it

Same. My mom never showed much emotion at all at any of my milestones.

This resonated with me ... I never had the approval I wanted and after awhile you need to get it from yourself

Same here

Glad I am not the only one who noticed her mom saying that. And as a mom myself, if you know that is how your child feels, then maybe do something to counteract that rather than feed into it.

Oh my god! i was just thinking that!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed what the mom said!! That was fucked up!

"Beauty"?????---Where???

When the family starts crying out of desperation XD

This whole situation is Moms fault. So it’s not “poor Mom” she built this competition with her kids.

@@fanfiction4thewin149exactlyyyy the mom clearly shows favourtism and the “supportive” sister was attacking her the entire appointment. She needs a better family than this toxic

‘Poor mom’ is casting herself as the meat in the sandwich…she is not! The mother should have got a hold on this constant rivalry years ago and stamped it out. Likely she’s spent years fanning the flames!!

​@fanfiction4thewin149 you've replied to every comment stating the unhealthy nature of the bride's attitude. Are you the bride? She's toxic. That's the fact. If this was the other way round - sister competing with her bride sister getting married, I'm sure you'll be taking about jealousy, etc

​@@fanfiction4thewin149you don't know that. You are watching a staged REALITY show. Sometimes people are just assholes and she didn't present as a downtrodden middle child, she presented like a damn spoilt brat.

More like wanting her mom to love her

Agreed.

What do u mean ? Was anyone negative?

@@somebody7070 the bride was pretty awful for making the whole thing about conquering her sister. She could have talked about how much her union with her fiance meant to her, and what an exciting and happy transition it was shaping up to be, but instead she made it about trying to make her sister less than her.

​@@poponachtschnecke Exactly what I commented

And that's just dress shopping. Imagine their expectations for the wedding day

It seems her wedding went well, she wore the dress. They married in 2012.

Wow that's a lot of advice from just seeing a video.

@@itsallgood4093 It's solid advice.

Also hit the gym during that time. Helps with the confidence

me too!

Same.

Me too on both counts!,

Well with sisters like that who needs enemies. Right off the bat insulting her like that ?? You know where she gets it from.

I felt the same thing. Linda had her focus on everything else but, her own happiness and what makes her happy.

Time for therapy

would've been a lot lovelier if it was an A-line or ballgown to actually suit her shape.

@ dietotaku well it’s not your wedding dress, Body shaming Barbie. Get over it!

Absolutely agree with you Alison. UK.

The-DRESS-was,-yes.

Well you must be seeing something I'm not! I thought it looked horrible!

@@mistybollinger3312 I think that the dress's. material had print that reflected positively upon the bride.

@@mistybollinger3312 I agree. They had NOTHING that looked good on her. Jo and Al would have fixed her up.

@ Misty Bollinger you’re just saying that because she is plus size right? Sorry not everyone is skinny Barbie Doll like you.

@@freyjairis103 keep talking g out your ass about shit you don't know! I'm far from being a skinny girl! I'm 5ft 9 and 200lbs so let's see what else you dont know!! But thank you anyway!

I’m so sorry… It makes me angry that you’re so angry 😡 My sister in law is the middle child, and in HER case, from what I have always observed, she’s emphasizing the fact that she is the middle child, and seems to always act like she wants and needs the attention…. She is truly a wonderful person, and I love her so much❤❤ I feel badly, because my husband is the platinum child, my other sister in law is the golden child, and she sees herself as the black sheep of the family… she is sometimes left out of things , not in a vicious way at all, but it is sometimes hard for my in-laws to deal with drama … There is no fighting or harsh things said to her… she is no doubt loved, but she definitely has obvious insecurities, and this reflects in everything that she does. I hope that things will get better for you… I hope that your family will see that it hurts you, and that they should try to pay more attention to that❤❤

You ruined it yourself. Q with your own insecurities

Good lord two ceremonies for what? For what???

​@@eileenmcdonald1599 bitch huh?!!? No she didnt??? Lmfao

​@@eileenmcdonald1599How?

Yep,-just-spend-$3,000-to-get-to-England-for-an-expensve-white-rag-that'll-be-worn-for-a-few-hours-then-shoved-into-a-closet,-never-to-be-seen-again. Every-hefty-woman-can-afford-that,-yup...🙄.

This Big Bliss season was the second year STTTD existed. Long before Jo and Al. Long before bridal designers thought about plus size brides. Now it is much different, as you see the shop at Curvy Brides Boutique is full of them. BTW, shops in the US have those very same dresses now. No one has to go overseas to get a dress.

Nope they did good

How do you know that many people?😅

How???? Omg!

Did you go to Nazreena for your outfits???

I don't even know that many people lol

@@denisehall4818 My wedding happened in 2010, so Nazrana does not even exist then hahaha

Needy.

Mentally immature.

This is a really old episode

I tried to find something on it just for funsies, but was unsuccessful. It's more difficult since this is roughly 10 years old. Your best bet might be checking the stillwhite or preownedweddingdresses websites

Absolutely. It doesn't work for her body shape.
