Oh, my gosh. Oh. The process to buy
a gown has been pretty discouraging because I
don't want to be traditional. And for me, I feel like this
process is very traditional. The gowns are very traditional. Ooh, that one's super sparkle. Ooh, this one. this one. I want that one. Yes! ANGI PRINZO: Oh, disco queen. Yes. NIKKI BARTNICKI (VOICEOVER): I
love to be outside of the box. I don't want it to look
like a bride's gown. I'm sorry. I know you're getting
married, but (SINGING) she's your queen to be. Yeah. We work together
at a radio station. We're here because
I'm a little nervous that she might be
a little ambivalent about picking anything. And we just want to
make sure she's the most glam, amazing bride ever. Right. She has been a little
indecisive recently. She's been a little-- - We'll see.
- OK. Wait a minute here. Who's the bride? [LAUGHS] Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
- Sorry. Thought it was
me for a second. NIKKI BARTNICKI: For a second. - Nikki?
- Hi. Dianne.
- Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I figured Nikki could go,
you know, you know could be-- - Either way.
- You're Nikki. I can be Nikki.
Hi. How are you?
- Dianne. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - And you are?
- Jason. Jason.
A pleasure. ANGI PRINZO: Hi.
I'm Angi. I'm Nikki's friend.
- Hi. Dianne.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Mother of the groom, Maria. DIANNE: Hi, Maria. Jill, mother of the bride.
DIANNE: Mother. I can see. [LAUGHTER] Nice to meet you.
- And you. Thank you. So have you come from far? NIKKI BARTNICKI: Chicago. Oh, OK. So we flew in for,
like, 24 hours to-- DIANNE: Did you really?
- --hopefully find a dress. Yeah.
DIANNE: Oh, nice. New Year's Eve bride. Ah, New Year's Eve. Yep. My fiance's name is Nick. We've known each other
for about 13 years. He was the nice guy
that finishes last, and I was not interested. And before too long, I gave in. And here we are. We love to make each other laugh
and make fun of each other, and it's just very
carefree and easy. I'm gonna, like, start crying. I think what I love about Nick
the most is how selfless he is. He always puts everyone
else before him. He's, like, the nicest little
person, you know, for me. [LAUGHS] DIANNE: OK. So the wedding is
New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve.
DIANNE: In Chicago? - Yep.
- Yep. - Big party?
- Huge. NIKKI BARTNICKI: Yes.
- Huge? - Outrageous.
- Outrageous. Oh, I love outrageous. Yes, outrageous. Black tie. Huge Italian wedding.
Yes. Ah. NIKKI BARTNICKI
(VOICEOVER): I've never had a good New Year's Eve. And so right away, when we got
engaged, I said, I would love-- I want everybody to
come to our wedding and feel like it's
a black tie affair. There's blacks. There's ivories. There's golds, kind of what
you would think for a New Year's Eve but on steroids. So we need a party on a dress. OK. We need a dress that screams. NIKKI BARTNICKI: Yes.
- Well, yeah. I think I want
something fitted, so everything's
kind of sucked in. Skinnier, the better. And then maybe kind of bigger
so I can just dance all night and not feel like I'm
kind of constricted. And price point, just
so I have a guideline. We never discussed
it, so sky's the limit. Sky's the limit.
No budget. You know that means? She could try on
anything she wants. - Yes.
- Yes. Yeah.
OK. Nikki is here for a
showstopper dress. These are like the
dream appointments, because you get to
show some of the most kind of exclusive
and unique dresses we do have in the store. And I have a few in mind. How are you with, like, a
very dramatic color, like, something like this? I'm open to it. This is my favorite. She takes me straight
to the red dress, so I knew that Dianne and
I are on the same page. You could see, like, a
really good glam lip with it. JASON BROWN: I love it.
- Right? JASON BROWN: The love it. A big belt, maybe? Yes. Mother-in-law's a little
bit more traditional. So I don't know if
she'll love the red. ANGI PRINZO: I don't think
she will love the red at all, but maybe we can send her to go
to the bathroom or something. And we'll just use that one. Yeah. DIANNE: I'm going to
take Nikki with me, because I want at least a few of
them to be a surprise for you. Oh, boy. OK. Nikki's always
been a fashion diva, so I'm not sure what to expect. DIANNE: If you want sparkle-- NIKKI BARTNICKI: That's it. Yeah.
Look at that. - See?
- Yeah. So we have that. I think she'll
start us off with edgy and then eventually work
herself into traditional. Oh, I don't know. I don't think she'll
be traditional at all. See that? It's very New Year's Eve. Look at that. I think she's gonna
be very unconventional. Well, we'll see. We'll see. [LAUGHS] DIANNE: We'll start
with the red one. - Perfect.
- All right. [UPBEAT MUSIC] NIKKI BARTNICKI: I don't
think everybody's gonna be on board with the red dress. I love that when I look
down, the color pops. Mm-hmm. Like, you just kind of see
that ombré of the burgundies and the bright red. Right. I think the mothers--
it might be a hard sway. [UPBEAT MUSIC] ANGI PRINZO: Oh. Oh. Oh. Wow. Yes. JASON BROWN: I love it.
- Wow. So we started out
with the red one. Yes. ANGI PRINZO: Aw. JASON BROWN: Yeah. It is beautiful, right? I love it. I love the color. Big hair, bold lip. DIANNE: Right? Non-traditional. It's beautiful, but no. I think Nick would be
a little bit shocked. He's looking to see her in
more of that traditional look of a dress. I think it would be amazing if
you were going to the Met Gala or the Oscars or something. But-- NIKKI BARTNICKI: This
is it, but it's not-- ANGI PRINZO: I mean, you'll
look amazing in anything. And I mean, girl, red drama. I love it, but--
JASON BROWN: Right. The red is everything. ANGI PRINZO: --for the wedding-- She looks amazing, but
I'd like to see more bling. Yeah. I understand. I love this dress,
but it's not it. Maybe if the gown itself
had had a little bit more embellishments, that
would have been ideal. I'm just being
selfish, liking the red. You do need sparkles.
DIANNE: She does need sparkles. I need sparkles.
DIANNE: Yeah. BOTH: Next. This is really pretty. This is like princess pretty. This is Disney princess pretty. So I'm going to put Nikki
in a Pnina Tornai dress next. It's traditional, which
I know her mom will love. But at the same time,
it has lots of bling, which I know Nikki will love. What do you think? It's beautiful. It's very pretty. So immediately, I step on in. The satin feels wonderful. And we have the
girls in black satin, so I feel like that would-- DIANNE: Right. Coordinate really nice together. NIKKI BARTNICKI: I'm
absolutely loving the top. Like, the top is exactly
what I'm looking for, so I'm curious to see what
my family's gonna say. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] Pnina and bling. Nikki, that you look like a
New Year's Eve glitter ball. I love it. NIKKI BARTNICKI: I said this
is like a Cinderella dress. ANGI PRINZO: Do you
want to be Cinderella? I mean-- Let's turn around
and show them. [ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] [SIGHS] NIKKI BARTNICKI: I
love the Pnina gown, but I'm not getting
the reaction that I want from everybody else. There's not enough going
on on the bottom for me. ANGI PRINZO: Still not you. JASON BROWN: Plain
Jane on the bottom. You're not plain Jane. No. I mean, I love
that whole corset. And I love that bling, and you
look New Year's Eve on the top, but I'm bored with the bottom. I think it's a mullet dress. [LAUGHS] Yeah. Like, cool on one
side, not cool-- Business in the front-- BOTH: Party in the back. Party on the top,
boring on the bottom. Borting on the bottom. [LAUGHS] DIANNE: Ready? Stop. This is the dress-- - I just got chills.
- --I pictured you in. NIKKI BARTNICKI:
I just got chills. Isn't that beautiful? It's--
DIANNE: It's gorgeous. Right?
- Yes. Yeah.
DIANNE: It has the sparkle. And the color is light,
but you still have-- see?
Contrast. NIKKI BARTNICKI: Yep.
- Very different. It has texture. NIKKI BARTNICKI:
I'm gonna to cry. I'm finally getting some
real emotion out of Nikki, and I think we're
on to something. [UPBEAT MUSIC] NIKKI BARTNICKI: It's so pretty. It literally looks like
fireworks just down-- DIANNE: It does, right?
NIKKI BARTNICKI: --my dress. Yep.
- The whole dress is-- - Everything.
- --sparkly. There's just so much going
on, and I live for that. I feel like this
could be the dress for my New Year's Eve wedding. Dianne promised me sparkly, so
there better be some sparkles. That's all I got to say. Well, I have faith in Dianne. Some people I don't, but
I have faith in Dianne. And I think Dianne
is going to bring it. [UPBEAT MUSIC] ANGI PRINZO: [GASPS] Oh. Oh. Is that not breathtaking? [UPBEAT MUSIC] Is that not spectacular? You're stunning. I love this so much. It is everything
that you wanted. NIKKI BARTNICKI: Is she crying? Why are you crying? Oh, she is crying. JILL BARTNICKI (VOICEOVER): I
can envision Nikki walking down the aisle in this gown
and everyone turning and being speechless. DIANNE: It is New
Year's Eve on a dress. NIKKI BARTNICKI: But if I
were to walk in, would you be like, that's a Nikki pull? That's Nikki, 1,000%. And everybody is going
to be blown away. I see Nikki's face, and
she just-- her whole aura looks different. She looks like an
angel from heaven. Dianne killed it. JASON BROWN: There's sparkles.
- Oh, you like it? JASON BROWN: You
didn't let me down. Did you like the-- did you
like the other one, though? And the fact that you
just gave me chills-- Perfection. Absolute perfection. Perfection. Do you love it, Maria? I love it. DIANNE: Good. Can we put a veil on? DIANNE: Of course. It truly tells us
who she really is. Aw. Aw. You look amazing,
and I have thought about this day since
you've been a little girl. [SNIFFS] It just
takes my breath away. All of a sudden, they're
wearing this fabulous gown. And your little girl is not
your little girl anymore. And Nikki's gonna
absolutely love you coming down that aisle,
seeing you in that dress. NIKKI BARTNICKI (VOICEOVER):
My mom's crying. I'm crying. I'm crying 'cause she's crying. Maria's crying because
she's talking about Nick, which is making me cry. Not enough tissues for the room. DIANNE: Pretty.
Right? ALL: Yes. Everything that
I was looking for. It was, right? The style, it has
character to it. It's different. And you could see yourself
marrying Nicky in this dress? Yeah. And wearing it
on New Year's Eve? Yep.
Yep. DIANNE: Right?
In Chicago? Yeah, 100%. So then I have to
ask you, Nikki, are you saying yes to this dress? Yeah. She says yes. [CHEERING] Congratulations. I think finding the dress
today is definitely something I didn't think was gonna happen. But it's New Year's
Eve on a dress, exactly what I was looking for. It's perfect. STEPHANIE BLAKER (VOICEOVER):
My name is Stephanie, and I'm here to
find my dream dress. Stephanie?
Hi, Stephanie. How are you? - Hi, nice to meet you.
- I'm Debbie. - Hello.
- Welcome to Kleinfeld. STEPHANIE BLAKER: Thank you.
DEBBIE ASPREA: Congratulations. Wow, what is this? We're the jingle bell crew. STEPHANIE BLAKER: I have
my mom with me, my sister, my aunt, and my grandmother. Tell me about the bells. This is what we're
going to use to vote. So when is the wedding? It's Black Friday, the
kickoff to Christmas. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I want it to
be, like, the jump start of the holiday season. So you really want,
like, a big holiday theme. Right. I see pine cones, and
snow-covered branches, and little details like that
to bring in the holiday spirit. Tell me what
you're looking for. Something that's
just timeless. OK. And how do you picture-- That's what she likes. OK. I, on the other hand-- My mom, she may be opinionated
and thinks she's always right. I like that full,
princessy look. And she's like, yeah, no. Every mother wants to see their
daughter in a princess dress. My mom's opinion
does matter to me. I wouldn't be happy
if she wasn't happy. Where would you
like to be price wise? - $5,000.
- OK, come on. Follow me.
STEPHANIE BLAKER: All right. DEBBIE ASPREA: When a
bride says that they want the winter wonderland theme,
I think of maybe some crystal beading, something
sparkly, something that just makes it a little
bit more in the holiday spirit. So you can take a
seat right there. OK. How did you meet your fiance? STEPHANIE BLAKER: My
fiance's name is Adam. We met five years ago
at a friend's party. We talked all night,
and we've kind of been together ever since that day. My wedding, it's going to
be in Delran, New Jersey. I would like my
dress to go along with the theme of the
wedding, same winter wonderland-type feel to it. So we want something
that's fitted, but we want something
that's a little-- has embellishment on it.
- Mm-hmm. Give me a couple of minutes. Let me go out and
do some shopping. All right. NARRATOR: With Stephanie's
winter dress request in mind, Debbie's off to find her
own Santa's little helper. The perfect person
I wanted to see. What do you need? OK, so bride's
name is Stephanie. She's getting married
during the holiday season, during Christmas. They have bells with them. They're ringing,
like, Christmas bells. RANDY FENOLI: Really?
OK. Yeah. We're going to know if they
like it or they don't like it. The festive season. Hi. Hi. I heard bell ringing
from across the salon. That's us. That was your entourage. Yep. NARRATOR: As the jingle
bell crew gets ready, Debbie slips Stephanie
into dress one. STEPHANIE BLAKER: Just step in?
- Yes, ma'am. How do you feel about the shape? I like the shape. Me, too. What do you think your family's
going to think about this one? I don't know if my mom will. I'm sure she'll like it. OK. But she's expecting,
you know, the-- Let's go show them. OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] STEPHANIE BLAKER:
When I see this dress, I'm thinking this is
exactly what I asked for. I like that it's more fitted and
then flares down at the bottom. And I like that it's lace, and
it's like a subtle sparkle. DEBBIE ASPREA: Mm-hmm. It's like everything
that I said. OK. I didn't hear
any bells ringing. No, I didn't hear
any bells either. [MUSIC PLAYING] [BELLS RINGING] DEBBIE ASPREA:
That's a low bell. That's a high bell. I love it. And that's, like,
an in-between bell. In the middle-- they're
in the middle for me. The dress that she has on right
now is what I think she wants, but I would love to see
her in a princess dress. RANDY FENOLI: OK. I'm still looking for that-- We're going to have to
put a ball gown on for mom. Yes. I'm kind of getting
a little bit nervous. I hope that these jingle
bells don't present a problem. NARRATOR: Now, Debbie
hopes dress number two will please everyone. Here, let me help
you out a little. You seem like-- you seem to be
having a little bit of trouble. How do you feel? This is the first
dress I felt, like, wow. Oh. RANDY FENOLI: When Debbie
puts Stephanie in this dress, she lights up, almost
like a Christmas tree. I feel like we're
finally getting somewhere in this appointment. Wow, this is very,
like, winter-esque. There you go,
winter wonderland. It is. RANDY FENOLI: I'll
bring up the caboose. DEBBIE ASPREA: OK. RANDY FENOLI: Woo, woo. [MUMBLING] Come on, ring the
bells, ring the bells. Oh, my. This is the first dress
I put on and I said, wow. I really love the
top, and I'm surprised that I love the skirt. I really knew that that was
it for me at that moment. Should we turn you
around and let them see? Yes. [MUSIC PLAYING] [BELLS RINGING] Kind of in the middle. In the middle? Yeah, the middle. [SIGHS] But this is-- Too plain. Yeah. I'm feeling like she's
sold, like, this is the dress. And I didn't like it at all-- not at all. STEPHANIE BLAKER:
When I turn around and I don't hear the jingle
bells going off, I felt upset. RANDY FENOLI: Should
we put on the fur? You know, Stephanie
really loves this dress, and I feel for her, because
none of her entourage is ringing these bells. I want to jump in there and grab
the bells and ring them myself. DEBBIE ASPREA: Are
you disappointed that your family doesn't love
the dress as much as you do? [MUSIC PLAYING] If they don't love it, then
I guess it's not the dress. RANDY FENOLI:
Stephanie really needs to hear those bells
ringing, so it kind of feels like we've taken
a few steps backwards here. [MUSIC PLAYING] Stephanie is really relying
on everyone in her entourage to sway her opinion. I want to say, yeah, I
would definitely get it, regardless of what
my family thought. But I think at the
end of the day, their opinion does matter to me. OK, how are we doing? Good. Good. When Stephanie put that
dress on, she said, wow. So the only thing that's
standing in between her and the dress is you guys. Right. How strong is she? I'm not sure. I don't know if she's going to-- I don't know. I don't either. I'll be just as interested
as you to figure that one out. NARRATOR: Now Debbie
puts Stephanie in a dress she hopes will please everyone. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's beautiful, but I'm
comparing it to the other one. DEBBIE ASPREA: And? And I think I like
the other one better. [MUSIC PLAYING] DEBBIE ASPREA: OK. Wow. That's really pretty. Wow. STEPHANIE BLAKER:
It's really pretty. I really like it. I like it. It's a little
more form fitting, but then I still get
my poofy at the bottom. OK. I think we're going to have
to go back in the stock room. One more time. DEBBIE ASPREA: One
more time, yeah. - I agree.
- Yeah, come on, let's go. STEPHANIE BLAKER:
All right, let's go. Back to the drawing board. STEPHANIE BLAKER: All right. NARRATOR: Stephanie thought
she found the perfect dress for her winter
wonderland wedding, but a disagreeing mom is
acting like the Grinch who stole her Christmas dreams. I didn't like it at all-- not at all. NARRATOR: As the search
continues for Stephanie, mom has some words
for the bride to be. PHYLLIS BLAKER: When I
saw that she was unhappy, I felt like I needed to go
and say something to her. DEBBIE ASPREA: Hi.
- Hi. Come on in. I want to make
sure that you know that it's about what you love. OK. I don't want you to feel
like you can't get something, you know, if our bells
aren't ringing the right way. - I want everyone to love it.
- I know. I know. And now I'm comparing
everything to that one. Because that is the one
that rocks your world. And it's your world
you have to rock. Her talking to me definitely
put me back on track toward that dress. NARRATOR: After
mom's kind words, Stephanie is ready to step
back into the dress she loved. I think it's very
winter wonderland. I just started getting giddy. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ooh. DEBBIE ASPREA:
What do you think? I think I love it. You think you
love it or you know? No, as I was looking at it, I
just got happier, and happier, and happier. That's exactly how
you should feel-- STEPHANIE BLAKER: Yeah. --in your wedding dress.
What are you saying? I'm just nervous about
the jingle bell crew. [MUSIC PLAYING] What do we think? How do we feel? [BELLS RINGING] That is music to my ears. STEPHANIE BLAKER: When I hear
the jingle bells going off, it meant a lot to me. I think they came around. PHYLLIS BLAKER: When she came
back out, I couldn't help it. I just loved it. Are we going to
say yes to the dress? I'm saying yes! DEBBIE ASPREA: Woo. Let me hear some bells. Woo. NARRATOR: Stephanie
will walk down the aisle in this $5,300 Lazaro gown. STEPHANIE BLAKER:
I feel so happy. I'm so excited, and I'm relieved
that I found my dress here. KATIE HARTIN: My
name is Katie Hartin, and I'm here to look
for my bridal gown. Hi, I'm Paula. So nice to meet you.
KATIE HARTIN: Nice to meet you. Who do you have
with you today? KATIE HARTIN: Today, I
brought with me my mom and my dad, my
sister, my best friend Megan, my fiance's niece
Tiffany, and my family friend Camille. So Katie, when
is your wedding? My wedding is January 4,
2014, and we're going to have a winter wonderland theme. I'm hoping today
I can try on a fur shawl, maybe snowflakes on it
wherever there may be beading. I'm just looking to look
like a winter princess. So price point? About $2,000. I am a bargain hunter. I love to feel like I stole
something from the store. So we're going to go
and try on some dresses. - Good luck.
- Good luck. Yay. When I think of what
Katie wants to look like, I think of a big ball
gown with lots of sparkle. Come on in and sit down. So Katie, tell me a little
bit about your fiance. KATIE HARTIN: My
fiance's name is Larry. We actually met
back in high school, so I've known him for
the past eight years. He's like my Prince Charming,
and I'm so excited just to be with him forever. We're just really
hoping for sparkle throughout the whole night. We want it to be
like a fairy tale. All right, so I'm going
to go get you some dresses, and then the fun
will really begin. OK. NARRATOR: With a bride
dreaming of Christmas, Paula enlists Randy. Great. I need your assistance. OK, great. PAULA H: She wants a winter
wonderland-themed wedding. This is the perfect
bride for Paula, because Paula is like sugar
and spice and everything nice and the holidays all warmed
up in a cuddly blanket. What about this gown? Ah. PAULA H: This, to me,
speaks Cinderella. I think this is a winner. RANDY FENOLI: Well,
hello, Princess. What do you think? This one is probably
more of my style. I like the beaded top. PAULA H: Oh, good. NARRATOR: Paula hopes
the first gown will put Katie in the holiday spirit. PAULA H: Does this feel
winter wonderland to you? KATIE HARTIN: It actually
does, and it's very nice and big on the bottom. [GASPING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, my god. Oh, that's beautiful, Katie. KATIE HARTIN: I feel like
a princess in this dress. It's stunning. How do you feel? She's going to make me cry. PAULA H: Beautiful. Get the tissues ready. RANDY FENOLI: Wow. Paula, what did you do to her? So Katie comes out, and
everyone's loving it. They're crying, they're happy. It's like, OK, we're done. Did any other dress
give you this feeling? WOMAN: No. No, but I like the dress,
but I wouldn't pick it. [MUSIC PLAYING] RANDY FENOLI: What do you mean? I want to try on
something also with, like, tight-fitting lace. I feel beautiful, but I'm
ready to try something else. It's going to be really
hard to find a dress for Katie if she cries in every dress. We're trying a
different silhouette on Katie, because
I just thought she should see all of her options. A little bit straighter,
very sparkly. I like this, too. See, I don't know now. [GASPING] CAMILLE GUNNING: Oh, gosh,
I'm going to cry again. There she goes to again. Oh, no, not again. Oh, my gosh, Katie. KATIE HARTIN: Stop crying. RANDY FENOLI: Wait a minute. What's going on? She's crying again. How are we going to know
when you really love a gown? What's going to happen? I don't know. So how does this gown
compare to the other one? I love the lace. I do like how it's fitted. So you like it better
than the first one. I don't know. I feel beautiful. I think lace is very elegant. CAMILLE GUNNING: It's beautiful,
and you look beautiful, but I like the full look. If you're really going
for that princess look, then the other one
really said princess. And it's the one time you get
to wear a dress like that. So with that being
said, how do you want to look on your wedding day? [MUSIC PLAYING] KATIE HARTIN: Like a princess. RANDY FENOLI: Before we tell
you anything, what do you think? KATIE HARTIN: I love it. I love it. This dress is $3,300. Uh huh. I know you wanted
to stay at $2,000. Right. RANDY FENOLI: It's
marked down to $2,600-- OK. RANDY FENOLI: --and we probably
could get a little off that. PAULA H: Do a little bit better.
- OK. When they brought in this dress
for me to try on, I was in awe. I couldn't wait to put it on. I was so excited. I like it. I love the top. The top is my favorite part. Oh, my goodness.
It's beautiful. Yay. [MUSIC PLAYING] KATIE HARTIN (WHISPERING):
Mom, it's a bargain dress. Oh, my god. So we found this dress. Love it. Oh, my gosh, Katie. So how do you feel in this? I love the top. It's so beautiful. And what about the rest of it? It's so pretty. [CRYING] DAD: That's beautiful. KATIE HARTIN: I knew
it was the right one when I came out immediately. It's stunning. Do you feel like a princess? Just don't cry. You're a princess. Here come the
waterworks again. CAMILLE GUNNING: Gorgeous. We have a little secret to
tell you about this dress. This dress is
actually on sale. So if you love this dress,
this would be the dress. You would take it
with you today. It's in perfect condition,
and it is a wonderful price. So originally, the
dress was $3,300. So it's now down to
$2,699, but we're going to see what we can do. Everything is
riding on this dress. NARRATOR: Now, Randy
and Paula hope Dorothy can work some holiday magic. DOROTHY: Oh, Randy, Paul. Dorothy. RANDY FENOLI: How
are you doing today? I'm doing great. Every time Randy's
nice to me, I always know that he wants something. Yes. PAULA H: This our
bride who has a budget. RANDY FENOLI: The
budget was $2,000. Do you want to
give it to her for-- Oh! [MUSIC PLAYING] We have some
wonderful news for you. It's not between
$2,000 and $2,500. What is it, Paula? It's $1,999. Woo! Yay, Mom, a real bargain. It is so beautiful, everything. It's gorgeous. Are you saying
yes to this dress? Yes. [CHEERING] NARRATOR: Katie said yes to
this $2,000 Pnina Tornai gown. Come here, Princess. I feel amazing. It feels so great
to have my dress. I can't wait for
Larry to see it. NARRATOR: Across
the salon, Audrey meets the wife of an
injured war veteran, who also has a set price point. Hi, Lillian, I'm Audrey. Hi, how are you? AUDREY: Welcome to
Kleinfeld, sweetheart. LILLIAN HARDIN: My
name is Lillian Hardin. I brought with me my
mother Peggy, and Carla, and my husband Kevin. My husband and I
are already married. We just did a civil
wedding, so now we're going to have a ceremony
for family and friends. How did the two of you meet? LILLIAN HARDIN: We met at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center and I was his
non-medical attendant. KEVIN HARDIN: I was
deployed in Samarra, Iraq, and I was a medic. And I was there for 13 months. LILLIAN HARDIN: He
was there getting ready to actually go home. KEVIN HARDIN: We were on one
of our last major missions. We got ambushed. Anti-tank missile came through
the Humvee, went through me. Had three pieces of
shrapnel in my brain, almost took off my whole left
hand and right hand. He had altogether
34 surgeries. Even to this day, I'm
still going through rehab. I wouldn't have been able to
do any of that without Lillian, you know? And I love her. They have gone
through a lot, and they have stood by each other. They have held each other up. I think him and Lillian
find strength in one another, and I think they're there
to support each other. And that makes this appointment
even that more special. AUDREY: As far as price
point, where do you think you'll be most comfortable? Um-- We have a budget of $2,000. My name is Carla Marrero,
and I help an organization called Christmas Can Cure. It's an avenue to
be able to give something back to our veterans. The gown might
be about $2,000, but I guarantee you will
look like $1 million. Thank you. CARLA MARRERO: Kevin's mom
had written us a letter and told us they really wanted
to have their special wedding and weren't able to
because of finances. So we're going to pay for
Lillian's wedding dress, and we're going to actually
put on their perfect wedding. Now they're going to
get their full-blown, traditional wedding that
they really, really deserve. What do you see
Lillian wearing? She's always been
my little princess. You'd like to see her
in something princessy? Yes, I would. RANDY FENOLI: Generally,
a princess ball gown can be much more expensive
than your regular gown, because there's a lot more
embellishment and a lot more fabric. AUDREY: His recovery
is coming along. Yes. His spirit never breaks down. He's very strong. Wonderful.
LILLIAN HARDIN: Thank you. AUDREY: Good luck
to you, sweetie. Thank you. People have asked
me before if I regret anything
that's happened to me, like my injuries or whatnot. And things have a weird
way of working out. Go to Walter Reed, meet
the woman of my dreams. I don't know what I'd
do if I never met her. I'm going to cry, because this
poor boy was very badly hurt. And he is not the
least bit angry. And to me, that's what makes
you very, very special. I just want to make sure I can
get them whatever they want. And if the dress is more than
$2,000, if I have to put it in, I will. NARRATOR: With a heavy heart,
Audrey is determined to find her the perfect princess dress. AUDREY: Here you go. Actually makes me look thin. I love it. MARGARET MAY: Look at all this. Wow. Come on up. [MUSIC PLAYING] What do you guys think? - I think it's perfect.
- It is. It's beautiful. She looked unbelievable. When she walked out, I would
love to have that feeling, like, at the wedding. Yeah. She definitely
needs more sparkle. That's Lillian. AUDREY: More sparkle? I am a very glittery-- MARGARET MAY: She's very, very-- didn't give the wow factor. It's not my daughter. NARRATOR: So Lillian
goes back to find a dress that will make mom happy. As she steps into the next gown,
Kevin suddenly has a change of heart and heads to the back. KEVIN HARDIN: Now that we're
having a huge ceremony, I actually want to
be surprised when the actual ceremony happens. He realized that this was
something more special than he actually thought it would be. [KNOCKING] AUDREY: Come on in. I don't want to look. Because after seeing how you
looked in the first dress, as beautiful as you
were, I really want to be surprised for that day. I think I should go out
there and wait outside. - OK.
- You OK? Yeah. KEVIN HARDIN: Babe. I'm fine. KEVIN HARDIN: Give me a kiss. I love you. I love you, too. He had the
sensitivity to realize he wanted to be surprised
on the day of their wedding. NARRATOR: Lillian
gets into a dress that has everything
she's looking for, but it's $900 over her budget. I really like this dress. MARGARET MAY: Wow. [MUSIC PLAYING] AUDREY: Ladies? I absolutely love it. That's the one. RANDY FENOLI: Yeah. Lillian found
the perfect dress. The emotion that I
saw is pretty amazing. CARLA MARRERO: It is beautiful. So is this your dress? I think so. NARRATOR: Back inside, army
bride Lillian is facing a price dilemma of her own. She loves the dress, but
it's $900 over her budget. Now, it's up to Randy and
Audrey to work some magic. AUDREY: If I have to
beg, borrow, or steal, I would have made it my
business that she had it. RANDY FENOLI: $2,000
is the budget. DOROTHY: OK. RANDY FENOLI: How
low can you go? Um, $1,599? Ah! DOROTHY: OK. RANDY FENOLI: She
brings the dress from $2,900 down to $1,599. Miracles do happen. $1,599. Oh. MARGARET MAY: Did it
work out really well? Yeah. Really well. We got it down. Fantastic. Wow. So is this your dress? - Yes.
- Yes? OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] She looks breathtaking. What do you think when he sees
you for the first time in this? I think he's
going to be stunned. He's going to be shocked. Do you like the
headpiece and veil? AUDREY: We got the price down. But when we came to the
veil and the headpiece, we were still a
little over budget. Randy and I just
looked, and it's only a few hundred dollars,
so we decided that we would split the difference. This is our very
minor way of showing our gratitude towards them
and for what they've done. The dress makes
me feel incredible. She's gorgeous. She's a princess in it. Y'all I'm going to be
on "Say Yes to the Dress," so help me pick out my outfit. I've been watching
"Say Yes to the Dress" since I was a little
girl with my mom. And so I've just imagined having
this moment my entire life. So imagine me walking
into Kleinfeld. I'm a country artist. I feel very, like,
bridal and chic. I'm from Tennessee, so New
York City is very different. A, B, or C-- which one? Help me out. I'm going to New York very soon. [MUSIC PLAYING] Say yes to the dress. Say yes to the dress. [CHEERING] My dad was in the
music industry. He was a singer
back in the '80s. And I got a guitar
when I was 16. And it was kind of
this light bulb moment. When I know it's
the dress, that is when the guitar will come out. Ooh, that looks
like snowy branches. Jenny, Jenny. JENNY TOLMAN: It looks-- Woo, hi. Oh, my gosh.
Hi. How are you? I'm good.
How are you? I'm Lisa.
I'm great. I know. I know you're Lisa. [LAUGHING] LISA FUHRMAN: And you
guys, who are you? I'm Mom. And I'm Katie, Jenny's sister. LISA FUHRMAN: Hi Katie, Lisa. Oh, my god. What a beautiful family. Thank you. LISA FUHRMAN: Look
at these outfits. We've got our pop of fringe
and our pop of rhinestones that I always have fringe and
rhinestones on in some aspect. LISA FUHRMAN: What's
the pop of this? So I have a pop of
snow boots as well. Snow boots? I'm getting married in the
snow in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My fiance Dave and I
fell in love in the snow. When we finally admitted
our love to each other, we had the biggest snow
storm in five years in Nashville that night. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah. We got engaged in
the snow in Wyoming, and so now we're going to
get married in the snow. He just proposed to me. WOMAN: I know. Congratulations. [MUSIC PLAYING] Our ceremony is
going to be outside, so we're going to have a
beautiful snow backdrop. But I need to have a dress
that I can hide these under. As I'm walking down the aisle,
I want to feel like a snowflake, like a womanly snowflake. Oh. Do we have a budget in mind? So I'd like to stay
between $3,000 and $3,500. OK. We are going to find
your wedding dress. I have no doubt.
JENNY TOLMAN: Perfect. - Great.
- All right? See you guys soon. LISA FUHRMAN: All
right, let's go. Let's go. LISA FUHRMAN: Come on back. [MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY TOLMAN: Oh, yes. It's so pretty. LISA FUHRMAN: I saw
from your profile that you had
pre-selected dresses. I pre-pulled three of the
dresses that you had saved. This is the Martina Liana. That's my favorite
just looking at it. LISA FUHRMAN: Do you know what? Mine, too. JENNY TOLMAN:
There's a Pronovias. I don't know if you
guys have this one. LISA FUHRMAN: Let's see. JENNY TOLMAN: And
this is the one that you're going
to hate me for, because I know it's over
my budget, but I love it. LISA FUHRMAN: Ah. It's over $5,000. JENNY TOLMAN: I think
I'd like to just try it. OK. Just know that if
you love it, you need to be prepared to either
give it up or pay for it. That's true.
OK. LISA FUHRMAN: OK? Got it. LISA FUHRMAN: I think that we
should start with this one. JENNY TOLMAN: From
what I can tell just by looking at it on the
hanger, it has everything that I want in a dress. It's got the long sleeves,
sparkle everywhere, the neckline with the illusion. So I am a little apprehensive
to try it on first, because if I love it, then what do we do? You can't say yes to the
first dress, or can you? Look at this. I'm dying. I love this. LISA FUHRMAN: We're done. I think we could be. I feel so beautiful. I want to cry. Growing up, I just always kind
of felt like the ugly duckling out of-- out of the bunch. I mean, you saw my sister. What bunch? She's gorgeous. Growing up, people would look
at her and be like, oh, my gosh, she's so beautiful. And then they would look
at me and be like, oh, you guys are sisters? You don't look anything alike. Growing up with
Jenny, I could tell that sometimes she had a
little bit of a difficult time. KATHLEEN TOLMAN: She
actually was very well liked. I think she just
didn't feel like-- She didn't feel 100%
confident in her own skin. I did not grow up beautiful. It took me a second to-- OK. She is very beautiful,
but you are stunning, too. JENNY TOLMAN: Thank you. I'm a comparer, I
think is what I am. I'm always like, oh, well,
yeah, I can be pretty, but not that pretty, you know? And so I feel like I don't
know, this dress makes me feel like I'm that pretty. You are. I'm very self aware that
I have this insecurity about the way that I look. I mean, even a lot
of my music, there's lots of songs like that, that
are focusing on that woman narrative, where she's
looking in the mirror and judging herself
or loving herself. And so that's something I'm
really trying to work hard on. So today, I would love to be
able to look in the mirror and say, I love you, and
I think you're beautiful. [MUSIC PLAYING] Wow. JENNY TOLMAN: She did too
good on the first one. I'm like, wait a second. [MUSIC PLAYING] LISA FUHRMAN: What
do you guys think? I like it. KATHLEEN TOLMAN:
It's very pretty. LISA FUHRMAN: Isn't it stunning? JENNY TOLMAN: I feel so pretty. I love all of this. LISA FUHRMAN: Not all dresses
have this kind of neck, and not every bride looks
great in this neckline. A lot of people
need the opening, but you're already long. This is so stunning. JENNY TOLMAN: I
feel like it just looks like snow-covered
branches coming off of me. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm standing here,
and I'm thinking, oh, no, I love this one. But my mom and my
sister are both very reserved in their emotions. If my family doesn't love this
dress, I'll be really upset. LISA FUHRMAN: Let me lay
out the train a little. Can you turn that way, just
so I can really lay it out so you can appreciate
the beautiful drama? [GASPING] It's exactly what you
were describing you wanted. LISA FUHRMAN: Her family's kind
of indifferent to this dress. I would have liked to have
seen a little more wow, it's gorgeous. Sometimes, if families
don't jump on the bandwagon and show the enthusiasm,
it could really destroy the appointment and
make the bride feel like she doesn't want the dress. [MUSIC PLAYING] This just screams put me
in the snow and marry me. And I feel like a
beautiful snowflake bride. I feel like a
beautiful snowflake walking down the aisle. LISA FUHRMAN: You see? Yeah, it looks really good,
and I think this cut would really hide the boots, too. JENNY TOLMAN: I'm seeing that my
mom and sister love this dress, but I also feel like they're
a little apprehensive. LISA FUHRMAN: I
have to be honest. With you, these boots happen
to look good with this dress. Getting some emotion
out of them today will be one of my challenges. She told me something
in the dressing room that I was shocked
about, which is that she told me that
growing up she always felt like the ugly duckling. She had a rough teenage-- teenage years. Jenny went through a very-- having a lot of
anxiety as a teenager. And now, like, I can't even
believe that's the same girl. LISA FUHRMAN: Oh. JENNY TOLMAN: Terrible
anxiety issues. And so the person that
you see right now, you wouldn't even
recognize who I used to be. Because it's-- 10 years ago, couldn't
leave the house. Yeah, exactly. LISA FUHRMAN: You know what? You deserve everything and more. Those days are
long gone, my dear. Say goodbye. LISA FUHRMAN: Bye. We're here, and we're ready
to shine like a snowflake. LISA FUHRMAN: That's right. Let's go try on the next dress. JENNY TOLMAN: Let's go. Like, I don't know where
we're going to go from here, but show me some more magic. LISA FUHRMAN: I will. I definitely will. And the good news is
we put this on first, so now we use this
as our benchmark. Yeah. LISA FUHRMAN: And if we don't
like anything more than this, we know.
OK. We'll see you in a minute. OK. That's very pretty. Yeah. Well, that-- That was a way to
make an entrance. LISA FUHRMAN: That was
a major, major hit. Yes, absolutely. OK. This is-- this is
going to be hard to beat. Yep. But I'm challenging you. To be honest with
you, I don't think that any of the
dresses in the room are going to make Jenny feel as
special as she feels right now or win her family over. So, you know what? I've got to go back and shop. Yeah, and it's over
$5,000, but OK. She told me it was OK. It's over budget, but Jenny
did show me a picture of it, so I'm going to bring it. But I'm going to bring her one
more that's totally different. OK, I have some dresses for you. OK, so this is that
Pronovias one-- JENNY TOLMAN: Yeah. --that out of your budget. JENNY TOLMAN: Yes, it is. That has very-- Out of your budget, Jenny. Remember. And very limited sparkle-- has some, but limited. Then, I found the
most fabulous-- I, like, stumbled on it when I
was looking for another one-- JENNY TOLMAN: Really? --dress by this
designer Rachel Gilbert in your price point. JENNY TOLMAN: Ooh. It is so winter
wonderland magnificent. JENNY TOLMAN: Oh, my gosh. Take a look. JENNY TOLMAN: [GASPS] Whoa. LISA FUHRMAN: Do you like it? JENNY TOLMAN: That's gorgeous. Wow, this dress is so different. It's just straight
beading, and it's going to be a shock factor I think. LISA FUHRMAN: I want you
to keep your eyes closed, because, I mean, I
think you're going to think you look smashing-- JENNY TOLMAN: Thank you. --but I'm not sure that
it beats the other one. OK. OK, you can look now. Oh, my gosh. It is-- it's stunning, but
it doesn't feel bridal. I want to wear this to
the Grammys someday. LISA FUHRMAN: Can you
sing me like two lines while you're in
your Grammy dress? (SINGING) I'm gonna
love you till my tank is empty, till I've
given all I've got, and I can't love anymore. Oh, my god. I have chills. This dress is just
too costumey feeling. It's too much like Jenny Tolman
the entertainer, which I love, but not for my wedding day. LISA FUHRMAN: So where
do we go from here? We have the one out of
the budget, this one. I warn you of one thing. JENNY TOLMAN: OK.
LISA FUHRMAN: OK? You may love it. So, I mean, if you love it
more than the other one, will you be OK with the price? Because that is the price. I know I'm breaking
the cardinal rule, but I just have to try it,
if nothing more than just to confirm that I
love this first dress. Yeah, no I love the first one. Yeah. I don't think it's even worth
going out and showing them, because I feel like
in my gut, we already know which dress I want. LISA FUHRMAN: Let's
put this one back on. JENNY TOLMAN: I know, I'm just-- I've been waiting this whole
time to put it back on. - Me, too.
- Let's be honest. LISA FUHRMAN: Yeah, exactly. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, you're back in that dress. JENNY TOLMAN: I'm back. LISA FUHRMAN: We simply
could not find anything even close to beating it. It has everything
that she was wanting. She was wanting a
higher neckline, and she was wanting
the long sleeves. KATHERINE MALINOSKY: And
the buttons down the back. I mean, I feel like
putting this dress on makes me feel like this,
like, grown woman that is powerful and knows her worth. And I'm like, that's
exactly what I want to feel like walking down the aisle. Do you love it as
much as she does? [MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah. It's very pretty. JENNY TOLMAN: Are
you going to cry? [LAUGHING] [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm very happy
that she has found the dress that
makes her feel good and that she wants
to get married in. Maybe? Oh, my gosh. You are going to make me cry. What is this? I love it so much. I'm sorry. This is-- LISA FUHRMAN: I love
that you're feeling-- I'm was not expecting this,
but I wanted this feeling. I honestly feel like putting
on this dress brought me to a whole new place in my life. It almost solidified
the fact that I can let go of all of
those insecurities that I've been holding
onto for so long. Just know that this is what I
want to walk down the aisle in. LISA FUHRMAN: So this
is what it feels like. That's what it feels like.
Give it a whirl. You got it. (SINGING) I believe in meant
to be, from Tennessee to NYC. I've been searching
high and low. And just like love,
you know when you know. LISA FUHRMAN: Jenny. JENNY TOLMAN: Yes, Lisa? Are you saying
yes to the dress? [GUITAR PLAYING] (SINGING) I'm saying-- Yes! [CHEERING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Yay! Wow, very beautiful. Stunning. Oh, I got the word. [MUSIC PLAYING] VAL JONES: Oh, my gosh. Walking into Kleinfeld's,
this place is so much bigger than I thought it would be. Oh, that's nice. People are buzzing around. Brides are excited. Everybody's thrilled. I didn't really think much
about, like, an ivory-- Yeah. VAL JONES: But
that's really pretty. I've dreamed about this. It's exciting. It makes me feel like a
princess in a fairy tale. Wow.
- Oh. OK. Hi, ladies. How are you guys? Hi. Who is our bride today? VAL JONES: It's me. Val, nice to meet you. I'm Michelle. Nice to meet you, Michelle. And tell me a little
bit about the wedding. Where is it going to be? When is it? The wedding is right
around the corner. Gotcha. My biggest challenge here
today is that my wedding is in, like, three weeks. So I need to like get in and get
out in something that fits me. It's going to be
in Juneau, Alaska. Wow. VAL JONES: We're going
to get in a helicopter. We're going to fly
up to Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. We're going to get
married in the cold. It's going to be icy
and blue and beautiful. My fiance Jack and I, we have
a love affair with Alaska. And to get married
on a glacier was the first thought that both of
us had when he proposed to me. We decided to do an
elopement, because really and truly, Jack is my one
and only, and I'm his, and we just decided
that it would be more special for it to just be us. And to marry him on
a glacier in Alaska is probably going to be the most
amazing thing I've ever done. I'm looking for a
dress today that will be amazing on a glacier,
that I can wear some crampons, little ice shoes,
and that just looks amazing with the
Alaskan landscape. Who do you have
with you today? My cancer care team, and my--
so this is my plastic surgeon. Wow. This is my oncologist. MICHELLE CICERO: OK. And then these
ladies, they work with my lymphedema with my
arm that I have issues with. And then this is my friend. I work with her spirit. There you go. So we have our whole
crew here today, friends that turned into family. I'm a breast cancer survivor. I've been in remission
for almost six years, and I'm living every day
of my life to the fullest. The team I have
with me today, they are responsible for me being
here today alive and thriving. Cancer sucks, and so I could
not have done this without them. So we're shopping
a little bit. What are we liking over here? - We love this one.
- We like this. Oh, wow. OK. She has the figure for this. Yes, definitely. MICHELLE CICERO: Unfortunately,
that dress is not available. So this is going to be
a really big challenge. Her wedding is in three weeks
in a spectacular location on top of a glacier. And we need to find her
a stock piece today. We are concerned a little
bit that I might be cold, but I'm not willing
to cover anything up. You've got to show it off.
VAL JONES: Yeah. A little cold on your
wedding, that's OK. And what is the budget we feel
comfortable capping it off at? VAL JONES: About $3,000. OK. So if you guys want, we can
have a seat on the couch area, and you are going to
come back with me. All right. [MUSIC PLAYING] MICHELLE CICERO:
Dorothy, I need you. My bride is getting
married in three weeks, so we need to stock piece. Dorothy is the best
person to go to when you're looking for a gown. She knows the
inventory in and out, and she's the head
buyer of the store. This is a jumpsuit. This is so fabulous. Do you think she
would wear a jumpsuit? Let's try it. She said she's open. DOROTHY: I have to
tell you something. It's like it doesn't even
look like a jumpsuit. Look at this one. MICHELLE CICERO: I could see her
in this one, nice and fitted. She said she wants to
show off her shape. DOROTHY: OK, good. MICHELLE CICERO: OK, so
let me start with these. I hope she likes them. MICHELLE CICERO: I'm back. OK, so I didn't want to
overwhelm you with too many, so I just pulled
three for right now. OK. MICHELLE CICERO:
And we'll kind of see what we're
liking, not liking, and then we'll have more
of a direction to go into. All right. So come take a look at these. [MUSIC PLAYING] So to be totally
honest, the dresses that Michelle just
brought in, I'm not totally blown away by them. I don't think I
like any-- uh uh. I kind of feel like Elvis. It's hideous. I don't think this does
a lot for me either. MICHELLE CICERO: No, I agree. Not flattering. I work out hard in the gym,
and you can't even tell at all. OK, so I'm going to go
shopping for some new dresses, OK?
VAL JONES: OK. I'm hoping that
there's more out there. She's got to muscle up
and get me something good. MICHELLE CICERO: OK, I need you. How were those dresses?
MICHELLE CICERO: No good. No good. VAL JONES: I want to go
out and talk to my girls. I need a little pepping up,
because I feel a little bit deflated right now. Well, we have tried a few
on, nothing yet to like have you ooh and ah over. Val is being very picky,
especially for a bride with a short timeline. But that's not a problem. It's a challenge. ELISABETH POTTER:
If we could live lives with veils and tiaras-- so good. We would look good every day. Y'all are just
trying to, like, spruce me up and get
me all happy about the other dresses not working. Hi, ladies. Getting ready to try
on some dresses again? - Yes.
- OK. So I brought Val pretty
much all of the dresses in her price range that
she can take home today. So I'm hoping--
fingers crossed-- that one of these
will be her dress. So what are we thinking
about any of these? This one's strapless. It's pretty. We did bring these,
which I don't know if you're going to love, but-- I'll try them. Um-- MICHELLE CICERO: Now, what
do we think about this one? I-- it's not what I pictured. I feel like it might make
me look a little boxy. OK. But I think we
should go out and-- MICHELLE CICERO:
Let's show them. We'll see what they think. If not, we'll try on
one of the other ones. Yeah, I think
we should go out. OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] Wow. Oh, Val. Oh, Val. Oh, my word. Oh. Oh, that's-- oh,
that's so lovely. Look at you. You look like an angel. So tell me how you're
feeling in this one. I feel like it makes
me a little boxy. OK. I feel like it
doesn't show off any of my hard work in the gym. It's making me feel kind
of like a weeble wobble. OK. [LAUGHTER] VAL JONES: You know? OK, so let's turn you around. [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh. Val, it's beautiful. You're beautiful. You look really beautiful. VAL JONES: This
dress is-- it's cute. I mean, it's fun,
actually-- kind of dreamy, like floaty in a
cloud or something. But that's really not
what I'm going for. I really want to go for
wow, what a knockout. I mean, you are a vision
and an inspiration for others. When I first got cancer, I
wasn't sure if it was localized or if it was already
spread everywhere. And I didn't really even know
if I'd have another birthday. And here I am getting married. Yeah. I want to try another one. Yes. OK, let's go. [MUSIC PLAYING] All right, on to the next one. Val needs to walk out
of the salon today with a wedding dress for her
Alaskan wedding in three weeks, and we don't have many
other options in her $3,000 price range. This is Dennis Basso at $3,800. VAL JONES: This dress is
definitely over my budget, but it's beautiful. And I think that everybody's
going to like this one. I love the flowers on
this down at the bottom. I like the form fitting a lot,
you know, where it kind of cuts in here and then comes-- Cuts you here. Yeah, definitely. OK. Yeah, I like this a lot. We'll go show them. OK. Wow. Beautiful. So Val, what are we
thinking about this one? I wasn't really a big fan
of the whole mermaid-y thing. MICHELLE CICERO: Uh huh. VAL JONES: But I actually
really like this one. I like the flowers trailing. And then there's a little
bit of sparkle, which I think would be great on the glacier. MICHELLE CICERO: So
what are your concerns? Yeah. So it's a little larger then-- it's going to need some fixing. It's going to
need some fixing. Which is a negative,
just because of my time. Yes. Yeah. The alterations are only
going to add to my budget, so I'm going to be
in quite a bit more, as well as I don't really have
enough time to get this done. Wow. Oh, yeah. I mean, Val, you're gorgeous. You have an incredible figure. I'm worried about
the alterations. Well, then-- And honestly, I don't
really want to stress out. Like, this whole
thing, the reason why the elopement
is such a big deal, is because it's stress free. MICHELLE CICERO:
It's all in her face. She's not feeling it. The bad is outweighing
the good on this one. I agree. I think we should just
get rid of this one, and we'll go back to the room
and evaluate the dresses. OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] OK, so let's put this one on. VAL JONES: OK. MICHELLE CICERO: Like a glove. It looks gorgeous on you. It's showing off your shape. You have the thin
spaghetti strap, and it has more of that
bridal feel at the bottom. I really like this a lot. You know, I'm-- that's what I'm
going for, like fit after 40. Fit after 40. Yeah. There's no alterations needed. What a relief. Ready to show everybody? Yes, I am.
I am. I am.
- OK. [MUSIC PLAYING] WOMAN: Wow. Yeah. That is incredible. That is. Oh, that shows off your figure. Wow. Val. Wow. Oh, yeah. MICHELLE CICERO: So we have
more of a reaction in this one. What are we thinking? I like the
symmetry right here. This is flattering. MICHELLE CICERO: How
it's bringing your eye towards the center, OK. But I really like this
hip part right here. The side, right? VAL JONES: This
dress is amazing. I think it has all
the right stuff. Oh. Wow. It's fantastic. It's powerful and
elegant at the same time. Yeah, it's really beautiful. It is beautiful. MICHELLE CICERO: Oh, my god. I don't want to get
on your bad side. This woman is rocking it. In this dress in particular,
we can see all of the effort that she's put in to being
so strong, and so fit, and beating cancer. She looks absolutely stunning. And even just the way you're
standing and holding yourself, you can tell that you feel-- I like it. ELISABETH POTTER:
--strong and good. Yeah. It is very beautiful. Yeah, this one's best. You look amazing. That's the kind of reaction
I want from Jack, since it's just going to be the two of us. MICHELLE CICERO: OK, I'm
going to have a headpiece. WOMAN: You're going to cry. [MUSIC PLAYING] ELISABETH POTTER:
It's beautiful, Val. Wow. MICHELLE CICERO:
How do you feel? [MUSIC PLAYING] Don't make me cry. [MUSIC PLAYING] Wow. Do you feel beautiful? Yes. Oh, my god, that's beautiful. Today's experience, I will
tuck it away in my memory for the rest of my life. I feel like I've been on a huge
journey, and all of you ladies have been with me. And I almost feel
like this is the-- I've been climbing a hill,
and I'm finally up at the top. Awesome. WOMAN: That's right. And I really appreciate all of
you coming here to support me. ELISABETH POTTER: Wouldn't
miss it for the world. VAL JONES: You've supported
me through cancer, but I just wanted to share a joy
with you and thank you so much. You're beautiful. MICHELLE CICERO: I think we
have a question to ask you. You are?
MICHELLE CICERO: Yes. What is it? Val, are you saying
yes to the dress? I am saying yes to the
dress and so much more. [CHEERING] This dress is amazing. I think it has all
the right stuff. I cannot wait to get on that
glacier and to say I do. [MUSIC PLAYING] [WATER FLOWING] Oh, man. JACK BRYANT: Oh,
this is terrible-- disappointed in the weather. It would break my heart
if we were unable to get married on the glacier. If they can go up in the rain,
hopefully the visibility is OK, and maybe we'll get
a window of time. The helicopter said that they
could fly in a light rain, and so I'm just hoping
that that's the case. I hope that they have
the visibility to get us up there and down safely. I don't know, Jack. I can't even see the mountain. It's, like, over
there somewhere. I'm so bummed. This is not what
I pictured at all. I'm really worried. Everything's been so perfect
until now, like a fairy tale. [MUSIC PLAYING] I really want it to be
perfect for him and for me. But this is his dream, too. So it'll be great
no matter what, but if we could make
this one miracle happen, it would
just be even sweeter. So I hope it will work out. I'm going to get
ready right now, and I'm just going to
pretend like this thing is going to happen. I'm just going to
have the faith. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm feeling like I look
pretty decent here. I'm thinking I'm
cleaning up pretty good. [MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, Alexa. OK. No, I understand. She'll be heartbroken. [MUSIC PLAYING] Val, I have some bad news. The helicopter company
called, and they're going to have to cancel today. I'm really sorry. Do they think they
can do it another time? MARYANN RAY: I am going to
do my best to reschedule everything and see if we can
come up with another time on the glacier. OK. MARYANN RAY: All right? I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Thank you. It's disappointing because I
had all these emotions already. [MUSIC PLAYING] [DOOR OPENING] Hey. Hey. VAL JONES: You look just
like out of a magazine. Thank you. VAL JONES: You look nice. Thank you. VAL JONES: I came in here
to tell you that we're not having the wedding today. OK. It's OK. VAL JONES: I have patience
through all this stuff that I've been through. One way or the other, no
matter what, we're going to get married, and it's going to be
a beautiful Alaskan wedding. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yay! High five. Oh, my god.
It's awesome. I think we're
getting married today. It's beautiful. I woke up this morning,
and I got so excited. I saw the sun come
through the windows. I heard helicopters
flying over, and I knew that today was the day
we were getting married. VAL JONES: I love you. I love you, too. I feel great. It's exciting. It is not a dress rehearsal. Are you sure? We are really getting
married on a glacier today. [MUSIC PLAYING] [DOOR OPENING] [GASPING] WOMAN: Val, you look gorgeous. VAL JONES: Do you like my boots? WOMAN: You've got
your Alaska socks on. I'm in lovely Juneau, Alaska,
and I'm about to be a bride. [HELICOPTER WHIRRING] JACK BRYANT: I'm feeling
nervous, excited, heart's beating fast. I've been looking forward
to this for a long time. Everything that Valerie does
after her cancer journey means the world to her. Every moment that we share
together is special to her, is special to me. [MUSIC PLAYING] I can't wait to marry Valerie,
especially on this glacier. [MUSIC PLAYING] Seeing Val walk towards
me, my heart dropped. I mean, she was stunning. VAL JONES: I am
standing on a glacier, on this magnificent creation. I feel magical. It's a dream come true. Well, I'd love to
welcome you on top of the beautiful
Mendenhall Glacier. Jack and Val, may
this kind of true love always help you
keep the promises you are about to make today. May these rings always
reflect the light of your love throughout your life together. I marry you with this ring. JACK BRYANT: I marry
you with this ring-- --with all that I have-- --with all that I have-- --and all that I am. --and all that I am. VAL JONES: Jack, this ring-- --is a token of my love. VAL JONES: --is a
token of my love. [MUSIC PLAYING] It is my great pleasure to
pronounce you husband and wife. Please kiss your bride. [KRISTIAN BUSH, "FOREVER NOW
(SAY YES)"] (SINGING) Forever now, Forever now take my heart. I love you, Jack. I love you, too, baby. We got married on an iceberg. Ha, ha, it's cold. It is. I love you. I love you, too.
