Say Yes to the Dress

[tinydancer]

I enjoy watching this show. It doesn't seem like they ever show dresses that are not strapless. Even if they do, the bride wants to cut off the sleeves or straps right away.

I also hate that bustier on a tutu dress. Thngs like that make me feel like an old fogey. I guess looking chaste on your wedding day is passe'.

Bonus points if it's a huge assed wedding that you can't really afford.

Thanks for playing.

Rats!

Are they starting a new season?

Did anyone see the season premiere tonight? It was...interesting.

And of course there was that dress that the pageant queen wanted, the short 2010 variation of lingerie style dress that everyone tried on last year. "But I want to be sexxxxxyyyyy." Pout pout. And Dad was liking that dress? Whoa, my husband would be like, "not paying for this one, sweetie. I'm sure you can find the same thing at Frederick's of Hollywood for 6500 dollars less."

I thought the pageant girl was a little, hmm, tacky. The dress she was in love with was, in my opinion, "sluttish". I was surprised how her mom and step dad were ready to pop out the credit card. Although I do question Camille, she understood that the bride was torn between what she wanted and what her friends were saying, we've seen that Pnina does that dress with a long skirt, why didn't Camille put her in the dress with the long skirt? That probably would have been the "happy medium" that she kept talking about in her voice overs.

As for the bride who came to "try on dresses" before she was engaged, yeah spending 11K on a dress is crazy, at least to me.

My mom and I would watch the show when I was home and she likes some of their dresses and has told me that she would totally take me there and let me try dresses on, but my cap would be like 2500-3000 (at the absolute most). Having searched their stock online, I have found quite a few dresses I like in the 1500-3000 price range.

Yes, the pageant girl's short dress was so tacky and gross...I mean, as long as she's happy with her decision, but I've seen homecoming dresses in the discount section of Macy*s that looked better than that...

And the girl with the 11K dress lost her damn mind. I hope she didn't really buy it. It was a beautiful dress, but it wasn't worth spending the amount of a compact car on it.

And also, I don't understand the point of going in a store like Kleinfelds if you're not absolutely ready to buy. To go in not engaged or just engaged or with a date not even set seems really silly to me.

This. I've found that most of the dresses I like are 1500 and under, but that also has to do with the fact that I'm not looking for a foofy ball gown.

Also this. My fiance is already giving me the side eye because my max for a dress is $1,000

IMO, those are the girls that typically want to have a wedding just so they can WAL and have a huge party, and not have a wedding to get married to the one they love.

Ding, ding!

What's the point of the wedding anyway? To show off how much you're winning at life, duh.

I recently discovered this show because reruns come on when I am at the gym after work, and have recently become a little obsessed with it!
I thought the pageant girl was acting really skanky. I just don't get why she wanted to be "sexy". I think on your wedding day, you should look elegant and ladylike (or at least appropriate), not like a hooker. I just couldn't wrap my head around her wanting to look like that.
That dress that the girl that just got engaged was absolutely gorgeous, but I would never pay 11K for a dress.

Were the 11K dress girl and the pageant girl different people?

I have been informed (and will be able to confirm when I actually see it myself) that 11K dress girl is a member from my chapter.

[MUSK81]

I recorded that show last night and just watched it - my 18 y.o. son was in the room and he said of the short dress "I'd be pissed off if the girl I was going to marry showed up in that!"

[Alumiyum]

I like to watch this show just like I watch the Kardashians...I don't take it seriously. I can't fathom spending $11,000 on a dress. I guess if you have an unlimited budget, whatever...but of the girls I know who have spent extraordinary amounts of money on their weddings, just about all of them didn't actually have enough money to be doing so. Whatever happened to being happy about being husband and wife? I don't get the need for thousands of dollars and huge productions.

Yes, they were two different girls.

Watching the episode now - it most definitely is my chapter sister. Good for her.

LOL and Gem is an ASA.
