That is how it was supposed to be for one bride-to-be who decided she wanted to wear a sexy wedding dress on her big day.
But there was just one problem …. her mother is a conservative pastor.
TLC shared YouTube a clip of Kindra, her mother and a friend going wedding dress shopping in an episode of Say Yes to the Dress.
The pastor’s daughter said she wanted to go for something less traditional.
She said: “I would say I am a bit of a risk taker, because I am a beauty editor.”
But Kindra’s mother wanted her daughter to wear something modest.
She said: “Is this a slit? This is not happening.”
Kindra admitted she didn’t want to have everything on show but wanted a dress that would still make her look good on the dance floor.
She said: “I don’t want to be, like, ‘here comes the breasts’, I don’t want to be like that. [LAUGHS] But I need to be able to, like, pop it and drop it low.”
But her mother had a different view for the big day.
She said: “I’m a pastor. Kindra grew up in church, you know? So she’s a church girl, whether she likes it or not.”

The bride-to-be explained she was looking for something she hadn’t seen before so she could stand out on her big day.
She said: “It is a bit challenging for me, having a fashion background, looking for my wedding dress.”
“Because I want to make sure that I’m fashionable, but I also want to stay classic.”
The first dress the bride to be tried on had a very high slit which she described as timeless.
Kindra said: “I’ve always imagined myself getting married in a dress like this. It’s a bit timeless and it’s sexy.”
But her mother was not a fan.
She said: “Eck okay.”
In the end it was Kindra’s mother who finally caved as the bride to be settled on a number that was only a little sheer on the top half.
Kindra’s mother said: “This is the way I envisioned you as a little girl.”
