So I’m watching Say Yes to the Dress on TLC, and I don’t understand why these women are paying so much for a dress they will wear once. $5,000 for a dress?!?! For example, this episode had two sisters who are getting married 3 months apart. Their mother gave them each a $3,000 budget but for some reason one of them tries on a $5,000 dress. The other sister loves it, tries it on too & suggests they share it so they both can have a dress they love. The bridal consultants FREAK OUT (they want to sell 2 dresses not 1, naturally) and keep saying that it’s ridiculous for them to share. They say what if something happens to the dress at the 1st wedding like it gets a stain that won’t come out or torn? That’s a valid point but if that’s the case, why pay $5,000 for it in the first place?!?! I’m 22 and single so I have a longgg time until I have deal with all of that but I honestly don’t get it. Also, what is with the tears in the bridal salon? From trying on a dress? Someone please help me understand this mentality. Why are these women going above and beyond and getting so emotional over a piece of clothing?
