Out of State Moms

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon. When a bride comes in with her mother, her mother is also caught up in the moment. However, when a bride has to call her mother and almost beg her to let her have the dress she has chosen, the mother is almost always resistant. Happened yesterday.

The bride finally found the gown she wanted (after being to almost every shop on the Wasatch Front) and her mother told her it was too expensive because tulle is inexpensive and the gown shouldn't be the price it was marked. The construction of this gown is particularly beautiful and the bride felt like a princess. Alas, another bride leaves in tears.

If moms read this I hope they realize it is a natural emotion to want to be with her daughter, but it can't always happen. She is getting married. If she can choose a groom I think she can choose a gown. Any thoughts? Post on our facebook.
