It was not the traditional planning but we became so close over the year of planning that I would not trade a moment.” Sharing that Lori really acted the part of a second mother to her daughter-in-law, welcoming her into the family, Becca told The Knot, “She really wanted me to do what I wanted and gave me that freedom.” Any time I needed to delegate a task, any one of them was more than ready to help,” the bride said. “Between my mom, Lori, Monte and my sister I had tons of help. Luckily everyone behaved…for the most part!

Because as much as you might snarl What? when a bride says “I want a dress that is pirate-y,” you sure as heck are going to stick around to see what she means by pirate-y, and you know it. It doesn’t get old, and I guess there we have the reason behind the success of the show.Īaaaand that’s why I laughed at and had to share this Buzzfeed post that I somehow stumbled upon this morning rounding up all of the reasons why we all secretly watch Say Yes to the Dress. The more crazy the viewing, the more entertaining, of course, but honestly, even with the non-crazies, it’s actually always so nice to watch a girl finally find her dress. As long as this show has been on, I guess the thing is that brides shopping for their gowns (entourages filled with varying levels of crazy in tow) really do provide a steady stream of material, as do the characters who work at the bridal salons (Kleinfeld in the original version Bridals by Lori in the Atlanta spinoff, which just so happens to be my mother’s favorite, as she is perhaps the real-talking Lori’s number-one fan).
But during the summertime, I head to my family’s house in Avalon every weekend, and there, of course, is my mother, inevitably watching Say Yes to the Dress at some point in the span of the few days I am there, either live on Friday night (and no, I cannot believe I know that it airs on Friday nights), or on, say, a rainy Sunday afternoon when she’s bringing it up on the DVR because I just “ have to see this one girl,” or “listen to this mother,” or some other thing or person I simply must give witness to before it can be cleared off for space.Īnd you know what? I don’t hate it.
