Sounds to me like the bride did that stupid thing where she buys a dress that's too small, on the assumption that she's going to make herself lose 10-20 pounds before the Big Day. (Yes, lots of women do this.) Except she is now freaking out about whether she can meet her goal or not, or perhaps whether she can stay this size for the next several months. Mom and Dad are trying to help her feel better, but specifically want to avoid looking like they care one way or the other about her weight--she's beautiful now, she'll be beautiful then, they just want her to be able to be happy and enjoy herself--so they are joking that it's only to protect their purchase of the wedding dress, nothing more.

Sounds like the bride is weight-obsessed, not the parents.
