She seems to be an obedient child, along with her sister. Obedience is highly prized in the Philippines, since it connotes respect for elders. It is ingrained in the Filipino psyche that disrespecting one's elders is not only maleducation but insensitivity to the latter's feelings and self esteem. So you grow up trying not to cause this offense, like her sis says. There are cases of such offense being sensationalized, and more often than not, the offender earns public ire.
@@gaudia3985 That may be but they are not in the Philippines. Also she is an adult and making her own life choices. I am American and that is all I've known. I have seen many people unable to be both polite and firm.
@@MrsTikiGod I guess, since to the fact that the girl is not yet married she is still considered to be a child who must be obedient to her parents. Once she is married she will still be her mum's child, but this time an independent one.
she said, i'm gonna buy it, which was pretty emphatic. she drove the point home - my choice, i'm paying for it, end of story. my take on the parents/grandparents etc is that their opinion is considered valuable regardless of who's financing. the input of significant others aren't worth more or less, because they are or are not paying for the dress. it's just respect on all sides.
That statement by Robin had to of embarrassed the mom when she saw the video. I bet the bride didn’t like it either. What was Robin’s point other than shock appeal? I like Robin but that was not becoming of her. Just my opinion. 🤗
Tbh.. In this case where it is her daughter's wedding and her daughter will pay for the dress.. Then Robin is right.. She has to follow the bride.. And here in Philippines.. Younger generation of Filipinos are becoming less traditional... And the dress thing.. Thank goodness that is not prominent in weddings now
@@marcysikes it's TLC, they always edit their videos for shock appeal and entertainment. I personally don't see anything wrong with what Robin said, she was just speaking facts. As a bridal consultant, she has to prioritize the bride- no matter how demanding the mother is.
I like the first bride. She tries to be respectful to her very traditional mom, but she also wants to make decisions for herself. And she was able to do just that ♥️
The first mom was trying to use reverse-psycology to get her way.."you like the color?".."oh, you like that dress?" Thankfully, the bride held her ground.
@@k.cunanan6356 No it's exactly how they say. "You like the color??" Is meant to judge the bride into giving it up. It has nothing to do with being Filipino. She asked her daughter if she liked the color then told her that if she wore it she wouldn't seem pure. Nothing to do with sentence structure.
I swear I'm not being dramatic, but throughout the entire "Angel Mum" part of the video, everytime the sisters did their absolute best to not burst into tears when mentioning their mum, I burst into tears. I-
I Loved the second bride and her family. I also Love the groom, who wasn't even there. He's already living the marital vows, by being with his wife through the worst of times. I think Mom approves, and I'm quite sure God does, too. Many blessings to both couples in their weddings and lives together.
Ahm.. I am a filipina and my mom is a dress maker she made a lot of wedding dresses and the traditional color thing of a wedding dress is not a big deal anymore here in the Philippines. 👀
If she's a dress maker she knows what brides all over the world and modern brides (her customers) wear. It's not the same. This is a traditional conservative older person. They don't understand fashion.
@@marisolcastellanos3183 she also wanted her daughter to wear white to symbolize virginity. Crickets. She was very irrational, gave in when her daughter finally stood her ground. And if you're talking about Princess Di's dress being ivory, it still falls under the white range. Can't have everything tide white
@@sweeneyteng6658 what I mean is that Princess D’s could be called off white because it wasn’t the purest of whites, white does mean virginity in some places and purity. It doesn’t mean other colors aren’t suitable for a wedding, I would love to ware light blue.
*FINALLY* a bride with a backbone. It annoys me so much when brides sacrifice what they want just bc their mom or dad doesn't like it. Like, ARE THEY GONNA BE WEARING THE DRESS & DO YOU STILL FOLLOW YOUR PARENTS RULES AS A GROWN ASS ADULT?! 😒 Edit: Sometimes the brides pay for their own dress in full by themselves, & somehow their parents still have the audasity to try and dictate what their grown ass daughter can & can't get for her own damn wedding 🤨 & THEY JUST GO ALONG WITH but also crty in the dressing room.
This is so easy to say when you haven't been abused your entire life. The first bride is lucky and strong to be able to set boundaries. It's only through therapy and effort that most abuse victims (especially of narcissistic abuse, like the mom there might have inflicted) can set boundaries and regain control of their lives.
@@nelled6240 And the Bridal Consultant should too!! I've seen Mothers that were much worse than this one. But I've never seen the staff treat anybody like this
The first bride look gorgeous in all of them but I really think the third dress the one that wasn’t as white as it should’ve been was the more beautiful dress
I agree with you, the third dress was gorgeous on her and it was a shade of white just not pure white white. Sometimes moms need to step back and let their daughter make the choice especially when it is their wedding dress. I didn’t get the dress I really wanted but that was more because of the sales person who was rude and disrespectful because I wasn’t a size 6. They didn’t have samples in the larger sizes and she couldn’t have been bothered to even take my measurements so I could order it. I found a dress at a different store who ordered it 2 sizes larger and even with alterations it did not fit properly. It sucks when you don’t completely love your wedding dress.
@@MaLiArtworks186 I know. I thought they meant like when you call someone an angel for being nice, I didn’t think she was literally deceased until I watched.
I don't have a daughter,i have a son but if I had a daughter and I hated her dress I would say baby u look beautiful and I like the dress because its her choice and moms must be supportive even if they disagree
i mean, you can still support and not lie! filipino mothers are very traditional and tend not to sugarcoat things. nevertheless, i think the bride stood her ground well:)
Your mom is your angel and she’s literally coursing through your veins, so she’ll always be with you, in you and through you, even on your special day. Congratulations ❤️
I know the feeling of the second bride - I lost my mother two days after my 27th birthday. I've finally found a guy who is marriage material, but the thing that scares me the most is the dress shopping. My mom was a florist with her cousin for about 15 years. She and cousin mostly did small weddings and homecoming (we are in Central Texas). One of my dreams was for my mom to be able to be the grandma her mom was to me, but alas, cancer had other plans. Eight years and counting since she's passed; some days I'm ok with her being gone bc ....honestly it was bad... but other days, I get upset and wonder why the good have to die young. Siiiiiiigh...
I have strict parents and i personally choose to dress pretty modest but if my parents made a comment about my wedding dress being inappropriate, I’d honestly be pissed.
As a Filipina myself. My mom's like that. And it really affected my confidence. It is in our culture that if we speak our heart out, we are disrespecting them as parents and their age. I can't do anything and it's suffocating. 😐😐
I stopped being a "good daughter" after I graduated college. After that I have been living my life on my own terms. I married without my parents (the horror, since I'm the first born), I married a man who lives as far away as possible (hello, Norway!). I choose to be child-free. I phone them when I want to (read: max 1x a month). Yes, it's still shouting matches when I call them on the phone. They're strangers to me and the whole neighborhood thinks I'm not a good daughter. I don't care. I lived my life after their own bidding the first 21 years of my life. It's time to decide my own path.
Filipina here and I know the feeling. As a result, I am living alone and paying my own bills since I was 19 years old because I didn’t like feeling I was being controlled by other people. It’s not easy but you have to make tough decisions in life if you want independence. I hear this complaint a lot from other Filipinos but none of them are ready to give up the security provided by their parents and start living their own life in their own terms. If your family is affecting you so much then do something about it. You’re an adult; live it the way you want to but be realistic about it. Either live with your parents and be provided for or take the risk and start living alone. The choice is yours.
I feel for this Bride. It's in our Filipino culture. We have to respect our parents regardless, even when we're already adults. But I have to be honest, It's hard, painful, and suffocating trying to please the parents we love. Talk about tough love 😑
@@lAmWrath So American rules also don't apply to her? It is not about Filipino vs American rules but sometimes finding the middle ground because life is full of compromises.
The second Bride... Whew! That got to me. That hit me right in the feels. R.I.Paradise to her beautiful Mama. She's cancer-free now. And she looked so beautiful, too. And the first Bride looked beautiful, too. ❤️❤️😊
Throughout my time period of watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, I find mothers so picky and demanding. You love your own child, so why can’t you take time to love their choices? You had your wedding already, now it’s your little princess to show off herself and how far she’s come. You should be happy with whatever she chooses without negativity. The whole point of bringing you along is to bond.
"But i am FILIPINO!" i don't know why that made me cry i love the mom i can't really hate her because she IS just sharing her culture its hard to change over and understand your daughter has different morals
I sympathize, but I don't get why immigrant parents are surprised that their kids are strongly influenced by the culture of the adopted country. You have to expect that.
@@pazza4555 Maybe the kids could help their parents out instead of mocking and disrespecting their culture. And the kids (once they grow up) should have enough knoledge to expect the parents to be in a hard situation facing a totally different country after sacrificing so much just so their (completely spoiled) kids would have an easier life than they had.
I’m Filipino but my mom never gave any input about my wedding stuff, not even my dress. I asked her about the food and she goes “your wedding, your decision”. This mom in the video is too much, almost toxic.
@@dg_71994 It most certainly isn't disrespectful to make your own decision on the dress you would like to wear on your wedding. If anything, her mother really missed the mark on when she should enforce her opinion and when she shouldn't, especially in public. I didn't make a comment on how the bride decided to speak to her mother cos that's a whole new comment.
@@kandiiismiley IKR?! - I'm half and whilst I will not say anything like that yet as I am a teen I would when I am thirty... This is why I'm not taking my mom dress shopping.
That mum didn't jsut suddenly like the dress her mother realised she was getting it with or without hwr approval and she respected her choice. You respect yourself and so will others. Whata beautiful strong woman
As a mother I can't wait for my daughter to choose her own wedding dress. I just want to tag along and have fun with her. She must wear what she likes. It is her day not mine.
My mom is very strict, but she understands I'm an adult and let me take my own decisions, she tells me what she considers right, but it's my choice to do as she wants or not. That made her one of my closest friends, my mom was always the more strict between all the moms when I was little, and yet we're the ones with the best relationship after I turn adult and left home.
I'm Flip and was 15 when I told my mom I wanted a champagne wedding dress, and she was fine with it. Now engaged at 25, I wanted a black wedding dress, and she said any colour but black! So grateful my mom didn't force me to wear stark white. But Flip moms are definitely usually strict. Lots of keeping up with traditions!
Oh you poor thing -- my heart goes out to you -- my mother (God rest her) said exactly what she thought (sometimes made me cringe) But I loved her all the same.
I was in tears because I could relate to the 2nd bride as my mom isn't here either to see me get married. Even though a decade goes by it's still hard when you remember that you'll never have that mother daughter moment at your wedding.
Mine was there and she shrugged her way through wedding dress choices, said nothing on wedding day. So there are no guaranteed moments even if they are alive
@@joywebster2678 my mom was my best friend so I know she'd be overjoyed if she were here. I'm sorry that you didn't have that but understand not everyone does. I'm the one who it would've been my dad who wouldn't have cared back then.
@@mariposavioleta9007 my mother wasn't like that at any of my 3 sisters weddings, so I wasn't expecting it at mine, so much for your assumptions. She is 91 now and can't explain it still.
Glad the first bride stood her ground and got the dress that she like, but would it have killed anyone to just TRY a dress with straps? Mom might have like it sooner and who knows, bride might have liked it too! I am IN LOVE with the 2nd brides pick! (Even though it is strapless.) Personally, I just generally don't like strapless dresses, but the one she chose is GORGEOUS!
If I ever get married, have kids and my kids decided to get married in the right age, I would let them wear anything they want to their wedding, I've had my time, it's time for them to have theirs
When the bride came in with her sisters, but missed her Mom at her appointment I could SO relate. I was 35 when my Mom died of cancer 😭 and two years after she passed I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. 😩 It's hard, but when she found her dress I also got goosebumps, so it was indeed a Heave Sent message from her angel Mom. ❤❤❤
Oh bless her I lost my mum to the awful cancer as well and it’s the worst not having our mums everyday but it’s even more painful when you hit milestones . I cried so much in the fitting room and on my wedding day . Hope you had a wonderful wedding beautiful xx
correct. there was one episode here where the mother even said "you will remember me when I die " just to impose her will on the dress choice of the bride but never it was mentioned her race. many mothers in this show was even rude to the brides because they want their way even without proper reason but again they were not labeled with their race.
@@MaeCaytuna yes but she said i'm phillipino, she said to her daughter that she was philippino and the kids had a whole discussion about phillipino culture. So she identied herself as phillipino and made that the defining factor herself. Also, please be aware that phillipino is NOT a race but a nationality. Might want to go and study up on the difference between ethnicity, nationality and race (which doesn't actually exist because there is only one race of human : homo sapien sapien ie. Us. Race is a false construct used to otherize people who look different ie. Have different shades of skin.
Yay for both brides! Two gorgeous girls in two beautiful dresses. Mary Ann resembles a young, fresh Lady Gaga, and I mean that as a humongous compliment. She is such a pretty young woman. And Jolie, a stunning young woman who will be a stunning bride. ♥️
Moms need to realize that what is important is that their daughters are happy. Its not their wedding and since they are not paying for the dress its not ok to dictate what the perfect dress is
Love Lorie!!! First bride. Right beautiful dress for her. Perfect. Best wishes. Second Bride is a sweetheart. The Man is LUCKY to get her. Best Wishes. Hang in there Monte! Love ya too.
I'm a Filipino and I can totally relate. Even cousins are very conservative and effin opinionated. I started working in Thailand to get away from toxicity of the people around me. I had a day off once and traveled somewhere. I posted a photo of me wearing a cute little white dress and of course it's Thailand summer time and it's freaking hot so I have to wear comfy clothes. I posted some photos on Facebook and my cousins started calling me a demon and a prostitute. 🤣🤣🤣
i am Filipino and trust me this mom is as real as you can get when any bride-to-be is looking for a wedding dress...i can definitely relate to all the things that her mom imposed on her not to wear. i myself is still having a hard time convincing her about the "color" of the dress because she would not allow Champagne or Ivory for my wedding dress.
I'm impressed with Jolie's maturity. Those boundaries are something many of us struggle with. She stood up for herself while being respectful.
She seems to be an obedient child, along with her sister. Obedience is highly prized in the Philippines, since it connotes respect for elders. It is ingrained in the Filipino psyche that disrespecting one's elders is not only maleducation but insensitivity to the latter's feelings and self esteem.

The second Bride... Whew! That got to me. That hit me right in the feels. R.I.Paradise to her beautiful Mama. She's cancer-free now. And she looked so beautiful, too. And the first Bride looked beautiful, too. ❤️❤️😊
Throughout my time period of watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, I find mothers so picky and demanding. You love your own child, so why can’t you take time to love their choices? You had your wedding already, now it’s your little princess to show off herself and how far she’s come. You should be happy with whatever she chooses without negativity. The whole point of bringing you along is to bond.
I loved it when the first bride stood up for herself. More power to you girl ❤️💯
Totally! Jolie is absolutely beautiful. Go out and enjoy your life Honey!
"I think Mommy would have loved this dress."
Instant ugly crying for me. Omg. My effing HEART.
"But i am FILIPINO!" i don't know why that made me cry i love the mom i can't really hate her because she IS just sharing her culture its hard to change over and understand your daughter has different morals
I sympathize, but I don't get why immigrant parents are surprised that their kids are strongly influenced by the culture of the adopted country. You have to expect that.
@@pazza4555 Maybe the kids could help their parents out instead of mocking and disrespecting their culture. And the kids (once they grow up) should have enough knoledge to expect the parents to be in a hard situation facing a totally different country after sacrificing so much just so their (completely spoiled) kids would have an easier life than they had.
@@guilhermeluiz9513 she isn’t being disrespectful
I’m Filipino but my mom never gave any input about my wedding stuff, not even my dress. I asked her about the food and she goes “your wedding, your decision”. This mom in the video is too much, almost toxic.
When her mom said your Filipino and she goes “I’m not. … I’m half” my mom would have smacked me and leave the appointment.
She's in her 30s.
@@kandiiismiley girl, there’s no age limit to being proud of where you come from. that’s disrespectful at any age.
@@dg_71994 It most certainly isn't disrespectful to make your own decision on the dress you would like to wear on your wedding. If anything, her mother really missed the mark on when she should enforce her opinion and when she shouldn't, especially in public. I didn't make a comment on how the bride decided to speak to her mother cos that's a whole new comment.
@@kandiiismiley IKR?! - I'm half and whilst I will not say anything like that yet as I am a teen I would when I am thirty... This is why I'm not taking my mom dress shopping.
@@dg_71994 girl... she said half she didn't denied the fact😑
The second bride and her family were so nice 🥺. I want to be their friend. They're all so sweet❤️
That mum didn't jsut suddenly like the dress her mother realised she was getting it with or without hwr approval and she respected her choice. You respect yourself and so will others. Whata beautiful strong woman
The second bride was an Angel herself, I've never seen a bride so exited over her dress before.
The second bride made me cry, I miss my mom every day and understand how difficult it is to be without a mom.
Second bride looks greatttttt
I really feel that second bride. My father passed away recently. He'll never get to see me get married and that really hurts
Mom actually smile when she walked with the final dress. That's really nice. I'm so happy she was able to find something they both love.
The amount of Filipinos here. Wassup mga kababayan?! Say Present!
hi beshi! present!
Present
Yass! Haha
Present 😂
As a mother I can't wait for my daughter to choose her own wedding dress. I just want to tag along and have fun with her. She must wear what she likes. It is her day not mine.
My mom is very strict, but she understands I'm an adult and let me take my own decisions, she tells me what she considers right, but it's my choice to do as she wants or not. That made her one of my closest friends, my mom was always the more strict between all the moms when I was little, and yet we're the ones with the best relationship after I turn adult and left home.
I'm Flip and was 15 when I told my mom I wanted a champagne wedding dress, and she was fine with it. Now engaged at 25, I wanted a black wedding dress, and she said any colour but black! So grateful my mom didn't force me to wear stark white. But Flip moms are definitely usually strict. Lots of keeping up with traditions!
Flip??? There's no such thing as Flip, lol. It's Filipino, you don't have to cut it short.
@@personalseitil2244 in Canada, our crew calls it Flip. Nothing wrong with using slang 🤷♀️
@@nyxdc it's improper,lol. For example instead of Canadian, do you want to call it Cadian?
@@personalseitil2244 it's just slang and not that deep. Have a good day ✌🏼
@@nyxdc maybe only those filipinos abroad allow themselves to be called flips but yah have it your way.
Jolie has my respect, I mean she stood up for herself while being respectful, and I really respect that.
i’m thankful my parents, who paid for my dress, were happy with whatever i choose they said it was my day I need to be happy!
So happy for the Filipino bride, I also loved how they both handled things so maturely :)
I love how excited she is when wearing the dresses, I love her xD
Why my eyes are sweating?😢
I really like the way she stood up for herself to her mom with being respectful at the same time.
Jolie looks like a mix of Aubrey Plaza and Kourtney Kardashian - she's stunning
My Filipino mom was chill as hell! She was all screw tradition and let's have fun! ❤
Go Mom!
Nope
@@pazza4555 nope the mom was disrespectful
How sweet and loving was the second bride? I love her!
The first mom is a cake walk compared to my mother
Oh you poor thing -- my heart goes out to you -- my mother (God rest her) said exactly what she thought (sometimes made me cringe) But I loved her all the same.
I was in tears because I could relate to the 2nd bride as my mom isn't here either to see me get married. Even though a decade goes by it's still hard when you remember that you'll never have that mother daughter moment at your wedding.
Mine was there and she shrugged her way through wedding dress choices, said nothing on wedding day. So there are no guaranteed moments even if they are alive
@@joywebster2678 my mom was my best friend so I know she'd be overjoyed if she were here. I'm sorry that you didn't have that but understand not everyone does. I'm the one who it would've been my dad who wouldn't have cared back then.
@@mariposavioleta9007 my mother wasn't like that at any of my 3 sisters weddings, so I wasn't expecting it at mine, so much for your assumptions. She is 91 now and can't explain it still.
Both the brides are so gorgeous 🌼
Glad the first bride stood her ground and got the dress that she like, but would it have killed anyone to just TRY a dress with straps? Mom might have like it sooner and who knows, bride might have liked it too!
I am IN LOVE with the 2nd brides pick! (Even though it is strapless.) Personally, I just generally don't like strapless dresses, but the one she chose is GORGEOUS!
Mum needs to let her daughter feel happy on the dress. Its her day.
If I ever get married, have kids and my kids decided to get married in the right age, I would let them wear anything they want to their wedding, I've had my time, it's time for them to have theirs
Flo is the best! She is so fun and nice and cute in the same time :D
When she said angel mom I thought the opposite of “Feisty Filipino mom”, I didn’t think deceased mom 😭😭😭 I feel so bad
My heart goes out to the bride that lost her mama💓
When the bride came in with her sisters, but missed her Mom at her appointment I could SO relate. I was 35 when my Mom died of cancer 😭 and two years after she passed I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. 😩 It's hard, but when she found her dress I also got goosebumps, so it was indeed a Heave Sent message from her angel Mom. ❤❤❤
Anyone else bawling at the second bride's situation? God help me if my mom's not at my wedding 💔💔💔 what a beautiful soul and family
That guy in the background always knows what to say
Oh bless her I lost my mum to the awful cancer as well and it’s the worst not having our mums everyday but it’s even more painful when you hit milestones . I cried so much in the fitting room and on my wedding day . Hope you had a wonderful wedding beautiful xx
Dress #2 is the dress. Just for her must be beautiful and fits her like a glove
Both of these made me tear up with happiness for the brides & their families 💖
🙄
Both brides where beautiful, & looked like knock-outs in every dress they tried on.
I'm not saying the first mom wasn't pretty picky or kind of conservative, I just feel like noting that she was Filipino in the title was unnecessary.
The mom made a big fuss about the Filipino culture, so I don't see why not.
correct. there was one episode here where the mother even said "you will remember me when I die " just to impose her will on the dress choice of the bride but never it was mentioned her race. many mothers in this show was even rude to the brides because they want their way even without proper reason but again they were not labeled with their race.
@@MaeCaytuna yes but she said i'm phillipino, she said to her daughter that she was philippino and the kids had a whole discussion about phillipino culture. So she identied herself as phillipino and made that the defining factor herself. Also, please be aware that phillipino is NOT a race but a nationality. Might want to go and study up on the difference between ethnicity, nationality and race (which doesn't actually exist because there is only one race of human : homo sapien sapien ie. Us. Race is a false construct used to otherize people who look different ie. Have different shades of skin.
@@mellie4174 If you are going to talk about Filipinos, please use the correct spelling.
~A Filipino girl.
@@mellie4174 you might want to go study up on the correct spelling of “Filipino” before trying to educate other people 😇
That sweet second bride had such a beautiful soul.🤍 The first was adorable too!
Both brides looks so gorgeous 😇
When she said "my name is Jolee McLean and she was raised in the military so u might call me a military brat" took me out am sorry 😂😂😂😂😂
I think in the end, her mom could see how much she loved the dress and wanted her to be happy :)
Yay for both brides! Two gorgeous girls in two beautiful dresses. Mary Ann resembles a young, fresh Lady Gaga, and I mean that as a humongous compliment. She is such a pretty young woman. And Jolie, a stunning young woman who will be a stunning bride. ♥️
Both Brides are so beautiful and so kind 💖
Moms need to realize that what is important is that their daughters are happy. Its not their wedding and since they are not paying for the dress its not ok to dictate what the perfect dress is
Ohh this strict mom struggle 😂 i know cause i have same one
Love Lorie!!! First bride. Right beautiful dress for her. Perfect. Best wishes.
Second Bride is a sweetheart. The Man is LUCKY to get her. Best Wishes.
Hang in there Monte! Love ya too.
4:11 is the best dress on her
the second bride has a beautiful smile
I'm a Filipino and I can totally relate. Even cousins are very conservative and effin opinionated. I started working in Thailand to get away from toxicity of the people around me. I had a day off once and traveled somewhere. I posted a photo of me wearing a cute little white dress and of course it's Thailand summer time and it's freaking hot so I have to wear comfy clothes. I posted some photos on Facebook and my cousins started calling me a demon and a prostitute. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh for &^$#'s sake!
Your cousins called you a demon and a prostitute over a dress?!?!? Good grief!!!
Both of the brides were beautiful and made the best choices.
i am Filipino and trust me this mom is as real as you can get when any bride-to-be is looking for a wedding dress...i can definitely relate to all the things that her mom imposed on her not to wear. i myself is still having a hard time convincing her about the "color" of the dress because she would not allow Champagne or Ivory for my wedding dress.
