00:00Oh, my God. I have arrived!
00:04We need all the glam, all the glitter, all the beading.
00:06Oh, my gosh.
00:08I'm actually formally a bridal consultant.
00:11There's only one consultant in the room.
00:14This is my very first time.
00:15I've never been wedding dress shopping before.
00:18No! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
00:21No! No! No! No!
00:24Hell, yeah!
00:25I can't wait. You're too calm.
00:28A little over budget and a little over sparkled.
00:31I am not really a bride that wants razzle-dazzle.
00:35I can tell you don't like it.
00:36Can you try on another dress?
00:38I think we have to get on the same page.
00:41I'm flustered.
00:43I don't want to pick the wrong dress.
00:45You're making this hard for me.
00:47Aw.
00:49It's from in the 90s.
00:52It's silk satin, and it's satin 90s.
00:55I am feeling like Cinderella,
00:58and my wicked stepsisters were just so cool.
01:01I hate it.
01:04Oh, no, no.
01:06No.
01:08Next.
01:28Okay. This is what I'm looking for.
01:30So let's take it in.
01:34Oh, my God. I have arrived!
01:38This is my very first time.
01:39I've never been wedding dress shopping before,
01:42so this is mind-blowing for me, and I'm excited.
01:45Ah!
01:48Oh!
01:50Nope. No. Hate it.
01:51It's not me? Okay. Okay.
01:53She's the first one that's getting married,
01:55so we're very excited,
01:57and we're not trying to take over, but we're taking over.
01:59But we're taking over.
02:01Oh!
02:02We're so ready to go shopping!
02:06Hey! Zip it back there!
02:10Sheesh.
02:12My name is Madeline Hare.
02:14I have been a consultant here for about three months.
02:17Not too long at all.
02:21I have to say, I never thought
02:23I was going to end up in bridal.
02:25I actually grew up figure skating.
02:26I have a few gold medals.
02:28I bet you had to wear some pretty fabulous outfits to school.
02:31Fabulous. So that was kind of my favorite thing
02:33about being a figure skater.
02:35I went to school for fashion,
02:36and this is truly a dream to be here at Kleinfeld.
02:41Hi. How we doing?
02:42I am so happy you're here.
02:43Okay. Because I think I need backup.
02:45Why?
02:46I've spoken to my bride, Venetia.
02:48She's fabulous and a little bit over the top.
02:52Okay.
02:53I'm looking for something more fitted, blingy.
02:57With an overskirt.
02:58With an overskirt.
02:59Okay.
03:01I like that color.
03:02You think so? This is you?
03:03Oh, my God! That's Randy!
03:04No! Randy! Randy!
03:06No! No! No!
03:10Hello, beautiful.
03:11Come here! Come here, handsome!
03:13Are you the bride?
03:14Yeah!
03:15Randy! Oh, my God!
03:18Randy, you're real! Look at you!
03:19You better stop!
03:21Go ahead. Pinch me.
03:22Almost pinched your butt. Oh, my God!
03:24And you know Madeline?
03:25Yes! Oh, my God! Hi, it's nice to meet you.
03:28Who did you bring with you?
03:29So, I brought my beautiful mother, Celine.
03:31Hello, beautiful. Oh, I'm loving this hot pink.
03:34I love it.
03:36Next, I have my amazing sister, Vanika.
03:38Vanika.
03:40And the oldest out of the V's sister, Vanity.
03:42Vanity.
03:44Ms. Freeman, Vanity, Vanika, and Venetia.
03:47Yes! The V's sisters!
03:50Tell us about your wedding and everything.
03:52Oh, my gosh.
03:53My wedding is going to be in Dallas, Texas.
03:55It's going to be held at the Hamptons.
03:57It's so beautiful, so modern, so chic.
04:00It just says, Venetia and Juwan.
04:02I am here today because my Fianny, Juwan,
04:08proposed to me last year on February the 14th in Vegas.
04:13You want to know the truth of what I said?
04:15I said, hell, yeah!
04:18We actually had our first kiss in front of my grandmother's house.
04:21I think I was like in eighth grade.
04:23And ever since then, we literally have been inseparable.
04:26Like, it's my best friend, literally.
04:29So, you guys have already spoken.
04:31We've been talking a little bit.
04:32So, something kind of fitted and sexy.
04:34Yes.
04:35Over the top.
04:36I think she needs a dress to make her boobs say, hello.
04:39Oh, my, okay.
04:41How much would you like to spend?
04:44How much would you like to spend?
04:45So, we started out with $25 and $8, but my dad just upped it to $10.
04:50I love your dad.
04:51I love him, too.
04:52I am ready to shop, Brandi.
04:54I'm ready.
04:55So, today, I want the Venetia dress.
04:58Something cute, something different.
05:00I feel like I'm that outgoing type of person,
05:02and I want my dress to complement my personality,
05:04my body structure, and just me as a whole.
05:08Here's a few dresses that Madeline pulled.
05:10How do you feel about them?
05:13Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:15Hmm.
05:16Are they saying Venetia, or are they just saying a dress?
05:22I didn't get too many Venetias.
05:24I like the arms on this.
05:27Okay.
05:28I like the off-shoulder.
05:29Okay.
05:30But it's not giving me.
05:31But I'm willing to try it.
05:32Wow.
05:33I thought this was all you.
05:34Really?
05:35I'm the bottom.
05:36It's just, like, overly poofy.
05:38I want something kind of more cleaner cut.
05:41But I still want to try just to see,
05:43because, like I said, this is my first time,
05:44so it could change my mind.
05:45Right.
05:46So, why don't you guys start?
05:47Okay.
05:48And I'm going to go breeze around and see what I can find.
05:50Sounds like a deal.
05:51I'm ready.
05:52Yes, girl.
05:53Let's do it.
05:54Okay, ladies, have a good time.
05:56Thank you, Randy.
05:57Okay.
05:58How excited are you?
05:59Oh, my.
06:02Okay.
06:03They are pulling.
06:04Let me go see what they're pulling.
06:06I am loving.
06:08We just like this top part.
06:10The top part.
06:11I don't think she'll like the bottom,
06:13but I definitely think the top is giving conversation.
06:16So, I found something like this,
06:18but in more of a trumpet silhouette.
06:19Okay.
06:20Yes.
06:21Okay.
06:22She needs something to fit her ta-tas
06:23and also a piece to come off to give us a little boom-boom.
06:25How about, hey, this is what you're looking for, right?
06:28Yes.
06:29It's got some sparkle here.
06:30It's simpler at the bottom.
06:32It's more straight.
06:33You've got the overskirt.
06:34All right, Miss Venetia, dress number one.
06:39It's kind of surreal, right?
06:40It is.
06:41This is amazing.
06:43Right?
06:44Oh, my gosh.
06:45You look beautiful.
06:46This is my first time trying on dresses.
06:48It's just, oh, it's not pulling right now.
06:50I'm so excited.
06:53It's crazy because I didn't think that I would really care for the mermaid.
06:57Yeah, yeah.
06:58But now just seeing it on, it changes my mindset.
07:03Like, wow.
07:05Come in.
07:07Come in.
07:08How we doing, ladies?
07:10We're doing fabulous.
07:12Randy, I did not know it was going to look like this.
07:15I am feeling beautiful.
07:17It's definitely, like, an option now.
07:20Okay.
07:21I have something else to show you.
07:22What?
07:23We have this dress.
07:24You've got your overskirt.
07:26Really?
07:27Put it on me, baby.
07:29Okay.
07:30Let's take you out and show them this.
07:31Okay.
07:32Are you ready?
07:33I'm ready.
07:34Let's do it.
07:35We're ready.
07:44Okay, ladies.
07:46I don't know.
07:48Oh, that's pretty.
07:59We are on the way to Kleinfeld.
08:09I am so excited.
08:10I just woke up this morning feeling so full of love and so ready to just find my dress.
08:15Woo!
08:16We made it!
08:17We made it!
08:18We made it!
08:19We made it!
08:20We're at Kleinfeld!
08:21Woo!
08:22Woo!
08:23Woo!
08:24Woo!
08:25Woo!
08:26Woo!
08:27I have been thinking about my wedding dress my entire life.
08:34Oh my goodness, today's the day.
08:35I can't wait.
08:36You're too calm.
08:37Today is the day.
08:38Today is the day.
08:40I've gone shopping twice for dresses.
08:43The issue is I've found so many dresses that I hate.
08:47So I'm trying to figure out really what I love.
08:51This one looks like an animal.
08:53This is a fly away like Auntie Em wants you to do to fly.
08:57It's too much, it's too much.
08:58It is?
08:59Let's just see.
09:00Hello!
09:00Kelsey!
09:01Yes, Kelsey.
09:02Hi, how are you?
09:03Hi, I'm Kelsey, it is so good to meet you.
09:07Who do we have with you today?
09:08Okay, this is my auntie Charm.
09:10Hello.
09:10Auntie Em and Auntie Tish.
09:12Nice to meet you.
09:13Lovely to meet you.
09:13Nice to meet you girls.
09:14So these are my mom's sisters.
09:17Okay.
09:17My mom actually passed away when I was 17 of breast cancer.
09:22And so now that it's wedding time,
09:25it's like, can't believe she's not with me, you know?
09:30It should have been my mom who was here with me.
09:36Growing up, my mom and I would always watch
09:38Say Yes to the Dress.
09:39We would play with our Barbies and have them dress up.
09:43She was my best friend.
09:45She actually passed away in 2014
09:48and it was a really tough thing to lose her,
09:52especially before she could meet my fiance
09:55and be here with me for my wedding.
09:57And I have so many things that I wish I could ask her,
10:01but my aunts were basically clones of my mom.
10:04So every time I'm around them,
10:05I feel her presence so strongly in my life.
10:08They're going to be kind of the voice
10:10of Cassandra was my mom.
10:12Well, it's such an honor to meet you girls.
10:14And I can't wait to dress you up.
10:16You're going to look gorgeous and everything.
10:18Where are you getting married?
10:20At Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland.
10:23It's called Strong Mansion.
10:24It's this estate and gardens on a mountain.
10:26It's very beautiful.
10:28So the wedding dress has to match that in a way.
10:32So I'm picturing a big train.
10:34I think I like an A-line type of dress.
10:37Although I know my fiance would love to see me in a mermaid.
10:41Tim and I met online.
10:43He was like, let's meet up.
10:45As soon as he saw me, he grabbed me and just kissed me.
10:48And that was it.
10:49And we've been together ever since.
10:50And what about for mom?
10:52She was all for the dramatics.
10:53You know, her clothes were crazy.
10:57She wore big prints, funky clothes.
11:01Any dress that I choose has to have a wow factor.
11:04I think my mom would probably put me in glitter head to toe.
11:07And I am looking for something a little bit more reeled in.
11:10But I think that we'll be able to find the perfect medium,
11:13where it's the classic beautiful dress with the pop of my mom.
11:16Maybe we can incorporate like a jacquard print or something
11:19with like a tiny bit of detail would be really nice.
11:22I don't know what jacquard is.
11:23OK.
11:24I'll show you.
11:24It's like an embossed satin.
11:26But usually it's like a soft floral detail in it.
11:28That's it.
11:29That's what I like.
11:30OK.
11:31Jacquard.
11:31I like jacquard.
11:32Wait till I show you some dresses.
11:34You're going to love it.
11:35So tell me, where do you want to stay price point?
11:37I'd love to keep it under $2,500 if we can.
11:39OK, perfect.
11:40How much is that dress?
11:41Is that even in my price range?
11:42Let's see.
11:43So she's at $3,300.
11:45Yeah.
11:46It's a little over budget and a little over sparkled.
11:49You want to try it on?
11:51I know it's not what you thought.
11:52Just at least to just put it on.
11:53She said yes.
11:54Got a bit of sparkle.
11:55It has made her day.
11:57Kelsey's mom's quote was shine on and sparkle, sparkle,
12:01sparkle.
12:03Oh my gosh.
12:05I think Kelsey's mom would want to see her in a dress that's
12:07more than and not less than.
12:11So I've got to tell you, I have the earrings
12:13that my mom wore on her wedding to my dad.
12:15And I'll only put them on when I feel good about the dress.
12:17When you feel good.
12:18Yeah.
12:19And I'm going to pull some styles that I think will
12:21represent what you're going for.
12:23Please.
12:24I'll be back.
12:25OK.
12:26Off the bat, I already have her style pinned.
12:29She's clean cut, minimalistic.
12:31Oh, this is the jacquard print I was telling her about.
12:35And I see the answer already gravitating towards like
12:38sparkle, bling, over the top.
12:41So I'm interested to see how we come together
12:43on this appointment and share the same vision as the bride.
12:47All right, I got some good ones.
12:49That's the jacquard?
12:50Yeah, that's the jacquard.
12:52That's what you were envisioning, right?
12:53I had a feeling.
12:54This is so you.
12:55I feel like I can't try that one on first.
12:58We have to start with the crazy dress.
13:00I am not really a bride that wants razzle dazzle.
13:05It's pretty.
13:06Of course, it's beautiful.
13:09What have I done?
13:12This is a lot.
13:13But so fun, and I want to show them.
13:15Yeah, let's show them.
13:16OK.
13:19Here we come.
13:20OK, let's not turn.
13:21Let's wait for her to come.
13:22OK, OK.
13:22Ready?
13:23Let's see the answer first.
13:25OK.
13:26I put on the splits.
13:26Are you ready?
13:27Oh, my gosh.
13:29This is for you, girls.
13:31Wow.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Come on.
13:34Oh, my gosh.
13:39I feel like Glinda the Good Witch.
13:41Oh.
13:42Don't you think?
13:44You're flying.
13:44Actually, I don't hate it.
13:46I can't even talk.
13:49It's beautiful, right?
13:50I know.
13:51Yeah, it's a lot.
13:53So beautiful to finally see you in a wedding dress.
13:56We're proud of you, Kelsey.
13:57You're not supposed to cry at this dress.
13:58I know.
13:59I'm sorry.
14:00We're just, our Kelsey's getting married.
14:02The first dress.
14:03It's just that it's the first dress.
14:04OK.
14:05The little girl me is obsessed.
14:07Oh, right.
14:07Actually.
14:08That's true.
14:09That's true.
14:10But the woman that I want to be on my wedding day.
14:13It's a gorgeous dress.
14:14I mean, she's going to look beautiful
14:16in so many different styles.
14:17It just needs to speak to your heart.
14:19Yeah.
14:19Now we've got our glitz and glam out of the way.
14:21OK.
14:22Now we're focused.
14:23We're focused now. We got it.
14:24Promise?
14:26Can I try it on next?
14:30Are the girls saying hello?
14:36I can tell you don't like it.
14:37Can you try on another dress?
14:39I think we have to get on the same page.
14:48The first dress, I'm loving.
14:51It was amazing.
14:52I hate it.
14:56What do you hate about it?
14:58Now, let me say this.
14:59I don't like the bottom part.
15:00I'm just not fond of how a dress can go and go poof,
15:03right there by the knees.
15:04The mermaid.
15:04Too poofy at the bottom.
15:05Yeah, that's too poofy.
15:07I am fascinated with the shoulders and the breasts.
15:09The top.
15:10The top is good.
15:11That's what I said.
15:12Are the girls saying hello?
15:12They saying hello.
15:13They saying hello.
15:18This is a great start.
15:19I love the way the structure is on the top part of the dress.
15:23The bottom, yeah.
15:26So if we can get this with a different type of bottom,
15:29I'm willing to try.
15:31I'll be back on my close up.
15:32OK.
15:34I think our biggest challenge is going
15:37to be making everybody happy.
15:39I feel like the music is now starting to roll.
15:41OK.
15:42And I think the second one is about to start the conversation.
15:45I'm working with the three of these today.
15:47It's kind of like Diana Ross and the Supremes.
15:50I don't know who's the biggest diva, though.
15:56This is beautiful.
15:56Right?
15:57I might need to veil for this one.
15:58I'm feeling it.
15:59OK.
16:00Oh, my lord.
16:01OK.
16:02Oh, it's just taking me there.
16:04OK.
16:04Do you want to see it with the over skirt?
16:06Yes. Yes.
16:07Let's do it.
16:08What do you think about this dress we just pulled in?
16:13I'm thinking that two-piece is going to be everything.
16:17O-M-G.
16:20Ooh.
16:28And this will just give you a little idea.
16:30OK.
16:30But of course, it's going to be like solid crystal,
16:32like the dress.
16:34Yeah.
16:35How does that, how do you like that?
16:37I like it.
16:37But your sisters don't.
16:39You already can feel the tension?
16:40Yes.
16:41That look Vanity's giving is like, uh-uh.
16:44I'm about to give it to you in a row.
16:46I hate it.
16:47I hate it.
16:48Really?
16:49What you love about it?
16:50What you love about it?
16:51That I have a two-piece on, and I like this material.
16:54I like how.
16:55I don't like the.
16:56You don't like this material?
16:57It's prime in the 90s.
16:59What?
17:00It's silk satin.
17:02And it's satin 90s.
17:04Really?
17:0690s are back.
17:07It is.
17:08Next, I am feeling like Cinderella,
17:12and my Wicked Steps sisters were just
17:14so cruel with their opinions.
17:17I'll be back, ladies.
17:18Be gone.
17:23Let's get out of this dress.
17:24Yeah, let's get out.
17:25Let's go shopping, ladies.
17:27Let's go shopping.
17:29So I'm here with my crazy aunts.
17:32We're the fun aunts.
17:33They're the fun aunts.
17:34I'm sorry I said crazy.
17:35Yeah.
17:36Tell me, where do you want to go from here?
17:40My heart is telling me I need to put that on.
17:41Yeah.
17:42I need to put it on.
17:43I think so.
17:44We're really switching gears on this one.
17:46OK.
17:46Having the aunts here with me today,
17:48it's like having three versions of my mom with me.
17:51And I did tell them I want their opinion,
17:54but I also need to find dresses that really are me.
18:00I like it.
18:02You look gorgeous.
18:03And I love the strapless on you.
18:06I really like it.
18:07I'm excited.
18:09I'm bracing myself to show my aunts the jacquard dress
18:12because it is obviously not their style.
18:16All right, let's do it.
18:19What if they hate it?
18:20OK, next one.
18:21Next one.
18:22Here we go.
18:26OK.
18:29So I guess I'll get your opinion first.
18:35I wouldn't have pictured this.
18:38I can tell you I love it.
18:40OK.
18:40You know, I didn't want to look like every other bride.
18:45And I haven't seen this before.
18:48It's still the classic silhouette.
18:50And from afar, you know, it's a classic wedding gown.
18:54Yes.
18:55But from up close, it has the special feeling that I want it.
18:58Oh my gosh, I'm only now seeing the buttons in the back.
19:01This dress, you know, I think it's
19:02I'm only now seeing the buttons in the back.
19:04This dress checks off probably every box
19:07that I came in here asking for.
19:10What about just a little sparkle?
19:12There is no sparkle.
19:14Sometimes I think that something as standout simple as this
19:19is the most striking.
19:21Yes.
19:22I mean, I do feel like this is your grown-up wedding dress.
19:25I do.
19:29I'm not sure, though.
19:31I know.
19:32I can tell you don't like it.
19:34I don't know.
19:35I'm not sure if I'm able to say yes to this dress
19:39because I don't know if I'm 100% sure that Kelsey is 100% sure.
19:46I know you guys are wanting more.
19:48And it's making me want more.
19:51Gosh, I love it.
19:53I think this would definitely be the one to beat.
19:55Oh, wow.
19:56OK.
19:57So do you want to try on your mom's
19:58earrings with this dress?
20:01It's a big deal to put the earrings on.
20:03You know, they will solidify.
20:05It's the one.
20:06Yeah.
20:07You do?
20:08But then do I have to say yes?
20:09Can you try on another dress?
20:11Try on another dress.
20:12They're not ready.
20:12They're not ready.
20:13They're not ready.
20:14They're not.
20:15I think we have to get on the same page.
20:17Yeah.
20:18I'm flustered.
20:20I don't know if I want to say yes to a dress
20:22that my aunts don't totally love.
20:24All right, let's go.
20:27But at the same time, it's my wedding.
20:29And I have to really make the decision on my own.
20:33I think that one's going to come back out, too.
20:34I do, too.
20:38Ooh.
20:39I think this is the one that's going to shut them up.
20:42I definitely never had that moment where I was like,
20:45this is my gown.
20:46Everything I get has to be substantial.
20:50Substantial.
20:59Ooh.
21:03I like this one.
21:05Walking into Kleinfeld, I'm feeling very, very excited.
21:09But I'm actually formerly a bridal consultant.
21:13For a little over four years, I started when I was in college.
21:16Yeah, this is too simple for me.
21:19Like, way too simple.
21:21I think it may cause me to be a little pickier.
21:24But I'm going to let my consultant lead.
21:27And then we'll see what happens from there.
21:30If we can have this level of sparkle, that'll be it.
21:33Mm-hmm.
21:34Mm-hmm.
21:35Hi!
21:36Are you here?
21:36Yes!
21:37Hi, how are you?
21:38My consultant, I'm so excited.
21:40I was like, I don't know her.
21:41Hi.
21:42Who's with you?
21:43So I have my mom, Angela.
21:44Hi, Angela.
21:45I'm Lisa.
21:46Nice to meet you.
21:47And then this is my sister and my maid of honor, Brittany.
21:48Hi, Brittany.
21:49Pleasure to meet you.
21:50So have you shopped for dresses a little bit?
21:53I have to say, I was a bridal consultant at one point.
21:57That could be very dangerous.
21:58I know.
21:59I'm sorry.
22:00But while I was there, I never tried on a gown.
22:01I never tried on a veil.
22:02I just thought it would be bad luck.
22:04And I was like, I'm not touching it
22:05until I'm, like, a fiance.
22:06So we got the ring.
22:07That explains why I'm single.
22:08You know how many I've tried on?
22:11So do you have any ideas about what you think you like?
22:14Oh, definitely.
22:15So I want a long-sleeve ball gown with a huge skirt.
22:20I want lots and lots and lots of details, like 3D applique.
22:23We need all the glam, all the glitter, all the beading,
22:26oh, and everything.
22:27Everything.
22:28Does it have to have sleeves?
22:29Yes, that is like a non-negotiable.
22:31How about the budget?
22:32So my budget is $2,500.
22:34I'm willing to go a little over if it's perfect.
22:37When shopping for wedding gowns before,
22:39I definitely never had that moment where I was like,
22:42this is my gown.
22:43So I'm hoping and praying that I won't have any issues today.
22:48So tell me a little bit about the fiance.
22:50Sure, so my fiance's name is Brian Washington.
22:54I met him while I was in college,
22:56and I think I was sure that he was the person,
22:59because we were just so relaxed around each other,
23:02and it was very easy conversation.
23:05He always keeps me laughing, and he's
23:07just my favorite person ever.
23:10Marissa, this is my gorgeous bride, Paris.
23:12Hi.
23:13It's so nice to meet you.
23:14We have some options.
23:16I see.
23:18So this is the first one.
23:19That's beautiful.
23:20It has layers.
23:21Oh, yes, this one is fun, because it
23:23has a sexy little sweetheart with a little mesh here.
23:25Oh, I saw this one.
23:26I love this.
23:27This is Essence of Australia.
23:29Oh!
23:29Are you putting on that bridal consultant hat now?
23:31No, I promise I'm taking it off.
23:33There's only one consultant in the room.
23:35I'm sorry.
23:35OK.
23:36You got this.
23:37Thank you, Marissa.
23:38All right, see you guys soon.
23:39So do you have a preference where we start?
23:43This one?
23:44OK.
23:45I've actually seen this dress more than a few times
23:48on the website, so I'm just really curious about what
23:52that's going to look like on me.
23:53Oh!
23:54Get out of here.
23:55Shut up.
23:56Oh, my god.
23:57Oh, my god.
23:58OMG, I can't even take it.
23:59Oh, wow!
24:00Look how beautiful this looks.
24:02I love this.
24:04Oh, she said, I love it.
24:07I'm, like, nervous, because I don't know.
24:10I am so surprised that I'm having
24:12this, like, super emotional reaction to this gown.
24:16It has the shoulder that I want.
24:18It has the sparkle that I want.
24:20And it has that huge applique at the bottom.
24:23Oh, my goodness.
24:24I wonder what it looks like.
24:26Here I come!
24:29I know.
24:30I know.
24:31This is, like, not even possible.
24:33Ah!
24:34Oh!
24:35I know.
24:36I love it.
24:36Look at all the things.
24:38I love it.
24:40Yeah?
24:40Yeah, it's like it got dipped in sparkles.
24:43Yes, a sparkle layer.
24:46Substantial.
24:47Oh, yeah.
24:47Substantial.
24:49This is, like, our thing.
24:51So, like, I always talked about, like,
24:52how I'm a whole, like, person.
24:54And so everything I get has to be substantial.
25:00I definitely am starting to think that this
25:02dress could be the one.
25:04All right, so are you ready to go try the next one?
25:06I'm definitely ready.
25:07I'm interested to see how it's going to look.
25:10Oh, my goodness.
25:12We have a problem.
25:14There's no way I can just go with the first dress
25:17that I try on.
25:18Like, that would just be insane if I tried on one
25:20and walked out with the first one.
25:22This is going to be really hard.
25:32So it didn't go as I thought would plan.
25:34What happened?
25:36My sisters, they're very hardcore.
25:38Oh, no, no.
25:40No.
25:42It's the 90s sadness for me that's giving me no.
25:45Very much sad and giving.
25:46Then mom got married back in.
25:49Oh, it's giving mom.
25:53It's giving my mom.
25:54This is just.
25:56OK, I'm going to go shopping.
25:58All right.
25:58Perfect.
25:59From the beginning, I knew this was going
26:02to be a tough appointment.
26:04Because I think that the three of them
26:06are so close that if her sisters don't like the dress,
26:09she's not going to say yes.
26:12This is going to be tough.
26:14It's a one-day thing.
26:16And I need it to be the best of the best.
26:18And I respect my sisters, because they
26:20want to make sure that you want to go for a wow.
26:23Come on with it.
26:24I felt amazing when I came out.
26:26But I guess it's one look on the hanger
26:28to another look on the body.
26:30Does this do anything for you?
26:31It's on the shoulder.
26:32I don't know if you like on the shoulder.
26:34Part of me want to try that, because the arms is different,
26:37just so I can get kind of a different type of view.
26:40OK.
26:41I'll be back.
26:42OK.
26:44I'm trying not to get discouraged.
26:45A lot of the dresses that I've been trying on
26:47has been, like, off the shoulder.
26:50But I mean, if we can try to do something else,
26:52I'm just, like, hopeful for it.
26:55Yeah, we have the drama in the back.
26:56Yeah, OK.
26:58With this train, that top, I think that would be beautiful.
27:03I am actually liking this dress more than I thought.
27:06I just feel like I just need to tweak it a little bit more.
27:14I think this is the one that's going to shut them up.
27:18OK, so this, oh wow, is so you.
27:22That's beautiful.
27:22I feel a bit of inner turmoil, as I like two dresses equally.
27:27What am I supposed to do then?
27:28I know.
27:29I know.
27:30I know.
27:30I know.
27:31I know.
27:32I know.
27:33I know.
27:34I know.
27:34I know.
27:35I know.
27:36I know.
27:37I know.
27:38I know.
27:38I know.
27:39I know.
27:40I know.
27:41I know.
27:42I know.
27:42I know.
27:43OK, ladies, number three.
27:45Oh, I love the train.
27:46I love the train.
27:47Mm-hmm.
27:48Got the drama in the back.
27:51Now that's a 10 out of 10.
27:54That bottom, that body.
27:56Oh my goodness.
27:57That train, though, is everything.
27:59The response to this one is a wow,
28:01so I'm excited about that.
28:04And overall, it was me.
28:06Like I said, with a little tweak,
28:08I think we're good to go.
28:10Ooh.
28:10I feel beautiful, of course.
28:13We've been back to working, me and my girl.
28:15Mm-hmm.
28:16So we were just trying to still mock.
28:19Yeah, that's the saying.
28:20I said, if we get that first dress top, that bottom.
28:25That's it.
28:26We got the dress.
28:27Yes to the dress.
28:27That's what I just said, literally.
28:30Bring that first dress out for me.
28:31OK. Let me see something.
28:32OK, I'll bring it.
28:34See how that corset, that top is your dress.
28:36That's it.
28:37That's it.
28:38Do you think that the designer can make this bottom?
28:44I think she can do something similar,
28:45but it's two different designers.
28:49It's like I'm finding my pieces, and I just
28:52thought that, you know, I'll be able to find
28:55that one that's already made and just
28:57be able to just alter it.
28:59So here's what I think.
29:03I think you have plenty of time before your wedding.
29:05I don't know if you're ready to purchase right now.
29:07No.
29:08It's OK.
29:09It's just the first time.
29:10This is your first time out.
29:11You have over a year and a half, so there is enough time.
29:15We'll get you a dress.
29:16We always get brides' dresses, always.
29:19OK.
29:20You know, any bride that comes in
29:22and doesn't leave with a dress is obviously going
29:24to be somewhat disappointed.
29:26But I just don't think she's ready.
29:29And that's OK.
29:29Come here.
29:30This is good.
29:31Not a downer at all.
29:32Good.
29:35Honestly, when I walked in, I had a blank canvas.
29:38If I could get someone to actually just design
29:40of what I have came across, the dresses today,
29:44I think I will be able to say, I found my dress.
29:55Oh my god, what just happened?
29:57I don't even know.
29:58I was not expecting that.
30:00I am a little overwhelmed that I feel this great,
30:03and that I am looking this amazing in this dress,
30:05because I wasn't totally positive I would be
30:08having this moment right now.
30:10OK, Paris, this is the one I was talking about.
30:13Oh my gosh.
30:15Oh, wait.
30:16No, why'd you do this to me?
30:18This one is sparkly.
30:20Yes.
30:21Can we try this one next?
30:22Let's do it.
30:23I don't know if it's worth trying on another dress or not,
30:27but Lisa's been so spot on.
30:32It's so sparkly.
30:33I keep getting better and better.
30:35I mean, you're really killing it, Lisa.
30:38You're making this hard for me.
30:39I don't want to pick the wrong dress or be like,
30:42I don't know, I should have picked the other one,
30:44because they all have such great details, but which one?
30:49You've got to go with the one that in your gut
30:52makes you feel, feel the most beautiful and feel right.
30:57I think what's confusing me the most
30:59is that I'm really liking different things
31:02about each dress.
31:04This skirt is ginormous, and that's something
31:07that I was really wanting.
31:10But I'm not liking that I don't feel
31:13as secure at the top of this dress
31:16as I did with the last one.
31:18I definitely think that the other one is the one.
31:20Oh.
31:21I know.
31:22I'm excited.
31:23Me too.
31:24Let's see.
31:25I just need to get back into that dress, see myself again,
31:29try on the veil and the crown, and, you know,
31:31make my decision.
31:33Hey, guys, I'm back in it.
31:37Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
31:42OK, I love this dress.
31:45Me too.
31:46Yeah, it's just right.
31:47You know?
31:49I'm going to go and get a veil and a crown for this
31:51so I can just put her all together, work our magic.
31:53Ah.
31:54It's a really crazy decision to pick this first gown,
31:59but it just feels so right.
32:02And I know that this is my dress.
32:04All the bling, mm-hmm, put that right up there.
32:06Woo-hoo.
32:08I have no doubts at all at this point.
32:11She definitely looked like the queen.
32:13Yes.
32:13Yes, exactly how you want to look on your wedding day.
32:17This is exactly what she said she wanted.
32:19So this is, like, totally perfectly substantial.
32:23OK, open those eyes.
32:25Oh, wow.
32:27Oh, yeah.
32:30What do you think?
32:31I feel amazing.
32:32Are you going to cry now?
32:34Aw.
32:34I really like it.
32:36I just feel like a bride right now.
32:39That's a good feeling.
32:40Yeah, I love it.
32:42Oh, my goodness.
32:43She's crying.
32:44Here you go.
32:45Am I thinking?
32:45When people cry, I cry too.
32:46I know.
32:47I am so ready to marry the love of my life,
32:50Brian Washington, in this gown.
32:52I think that's what kind of is sparking my reaction
32:56to this dress, is just me imagining
32:58walking down the aisle to him.
33:00Ask me the thing.
33:03Paris, are you saying yes to the dress?
33:09Yay!
33:10Yay!
33:15So I loved being a customer and not a consultant.
33:19There was way less pressure for me,
33:21and I just got to sit back and be a bride.
33:24I'm so ready to get married.
33:25I'm ready for December to come super fast.
33:28I can't wait to see pictures from your wedding.
33:30You are the queen.
33:34Always thought about this day, and now it's here.
33:39You look amazing.
33:41Am I killing it?
33:49I'm feeling overwhelmed a bit.
33:52I love this dress, but I didn't really get the reaction
33:54I thought it was going to have.
33:55I'm second-guessing myself a little bit,
33:57and I don't want to second-guess myself.
33:59All right, I have two gorgeous dresses.
34:02One is like kind of a wild card.
34:04Good.
34:05This is so you.
34:07That's beautiful.
34:08Right?
34:09But it gets better.
34:10Oh, my gosh.
34:11I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised
34:13by this one.
34:14This will be fitted, but still have
34:15the right amount of volume, and we
34:16didn't try anything like it.
34:19Where should we start?
34:20Which one?
34:21Let's start with this one.
34:22OK, great.
34:24I'm really hoping that this next dress
34:27will either make or break.
34:29It'll be better than the Jacquard dress,
34:31or it'll tell me that the Jacquard dress was the one.
34:34It's really going to have to wow me.
34:42Very pretty.
34:43It's really pretty.
34:44So this is like a totally different type skirt
34:47now, where there's no pleats.
34:48The back, I know you're going to love, too.
34:50Has a beautiful train.
34:52Oh, wow.
34:54Isn't that so pretty?
34:55That's gorgeous.
34:56I just felt, wow.
34:59I think that my mom would be really happy with this dress.
35:02OK.
35:02You ready to show them this one?
35:04OK.
35:05Of course, I am still thinking about the Jacquard dress.
35:08So I feel a bit of inner turmoil is, you know,
35:11what if I like two dresses equally?
35:13What am I supposed to do then?
35:18I almost peaked.
35:18I almost peaked.
35:19I did, too.
35:21You guys can look.
35:22OK.
35:22Ooh.
35:25OK, so here's another one.
35:27Oh.
35:29Oh, jeepers.
35:29Oh, wow.
35:30Oh, my gosh.
35:31Wow.
35:32Wow.
35:33Definitely you.
35:35I am so thrilled that my aunts are finally giving me
35:37the reaction I was looking for.
35:39I have been hoping that they would adjust
35:43to my lack of razzle-dazzle and love it the way I love it.
35:48And I think they do.
35:51I feel pretty small in this, which is, like, kind of nice.
35:54And that's the most different bow I've ever seen.
35:57The bow is great.
35:58If you wanted to, you could put something, like,
36:00here to open up the bow.
36:02I think you look stunning.
36:03I think you look stunning in this.
36:05I feel like it's a complete story.
36:07You and this dress feel like a complete story.
36:09Yeah.
36:12This feels right.
36:15The jacquard dress kind of falls out of the picture.
36:18And I definitely want to put on the earrings with the veil
36:21and have it all put together.
36:23I'll be back.
36:24I think I'm more shocked that there's not any sparkle in it.
36:27Yes.
36:28It's plain, but it's so gorgeous.
36:30We didn't need sparkles.
36:31Kelsey knew all along.
36:33This is weird.
36:36The anticipation.
36:36I know.
36:37I know.
36:38I mean, imagine, like, you know, she put these on before she
36:40walked on the aisle to marry my dad.
36:41Oh.
36:42OK.
36:43Oh.
36:44What the?
36:44Yeah.
36:45Beautiful.
36:46OK.
36:47Seeing my aunts tear up, it makes me feel like I'm
36:51making the right choice.
36:58Oh my god.
37:00The earrings are perfect.
37:03Yeah.
37:04Aren't they?
37:05They are.
37:06Aren't they?
37:07Oh my god.
37:07I have, I'm shaking so much right now.
37:10That's a good sign, Kelsey.
37:11I think it is too.
37:13I'm going to get married in this?
37:16It's the first time that I've really seen
37:18myself looking like a bride.
37:20You guys, I love it.
37:21I love it. I love it.
37:21I love it.
37:22I love it.
37:23I love it.
37:24It almost, you know, it looked like my mom, kind of.
37:27I look like her in a way.
37:29And that felt really good.
37:30It felt like I was seeing her shine through me.
37:35You know what your mom would say?
37:37She would say, you're stunning, and you
37:39look beautiful in this dress.
37:42And this is your dress.
37:44She'd approve with her open heart.
37:46I'm freaking out.
37:47I know.
37:48It's so good.
37:49I love it.
37:50Do your beautiful aunts want to come join me up here
37:54and ask a very special question?
37:55Yes.
37:56Yes.
37:58So Kelsey, our gorgeous bride, are you saying yes to the dress?
38:05Yes.
38:07Oh my god.
38:08I'm so happy for you.
38:11It's a miracle.
38:12And it's because of Kelsey.
38:13She showed us the light.
38:14Yay.
38:17I love you.
38:18I love you.
38:19I love you.
38:30I think that it's starting to set in that, like,
38:32I'm actually getting married.
38:34So I'm getting, like, a tad nervous.
38:36I'm excited.
38:42I'm super excited.
38:44Paris and I have been together for seven years
38:46and always thought about this day.
38:50And now it's here, so.
38:57This feels, like, surreal to be in this dress right now.
39:01Like, it's just as beautiful as it was when
39:03I tried it on the first time.
39:05I really wanted a bow, so I got a bow added.
39:07So I am definitely ready to walk down the aisle.
39:10Like, let's go.
39:11Let's do it.
39:34You look amazing.
39:40Yeah, no.
39:42I'm forever grateful for the abundance of blessings
39:45that God began to pour into my life,
39:47starting with that day seven years ago,
39:50when I looked into your eyes for the very first time.
39:56Am I killing it?
39:59About always to put you first and to love you
40:02with every fiber of my being.
40:05Brian J. Washington, today I choose you as my life partner.
40:11And I'm not going to cry.
40:13I love who I am when I'm with you.
40:15I vow to always support you.
40:17I trust you, and I love you, babe.
40:19I love you.
40:20I love you.
40:22I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Brian Washington.
40:30You may kiss your bride.
40:33Like, it feels so great to finally be married.
40:36I can't believe it just happened.
40:38The crown is what kind of sent me over.
41:03I'm so excited.
41:05It's been a long time coming.
41:08So cheers to the bride and groom.
41:12I love you.
41:13I'm so glad that we chose each other,
41:15and I just can't wait for the whole future.
41:17And I am so excited for the rest of our lives.
