My mom came with me once when I was trying on wedding gowns. She spent more time roaming the aisle looking for Mother-of-the-Bride outfits than helping me pick out dresses. When I finally found a few that I liked, the saleslady had to go looking for my mom so that she could send her to the dressing room.
My mom doesn't agree with my simple, modern aesthetic, so I knew she would have her typical blunt comments. "You look fat in that dress..." or "Why would you pick that one?! You have no boobs in that dress. Don't you want to pick a flattering dress?! All these dresses are too plain and boring."
She rushed back out and grabbed a few of "her favorites", all of which had extensive beading, lace, buttons, draping, etc.
She explained, "People are going to be bored during the ceremony. They want to look at something interesting, like the long line of buttons down the back, or sparkly beads or something".
