So we have an opinionated entourage.
Tell me something new.
Yeah, exactly. We're going to be Team Bride.
No, totally.
Totally, totally, totally.
Okay. Everybody thinks she's going to be matronly looking.
I want her to look sexpot and sparkles everywhere.
Sexpot and sparkles everywhere.
That doesn't sound like what she just said.
She said classy and no sparkles.
I want that whole hourglass look.
You know, and have her boobs hanging out and have her butt like, you know, that.
That would be my dream journal Look.
Yeah, that would be good.
What are your biggest concerns.
Mom? I'm just afraid that she's going to try and steer Courtney away from what she wants.
Make her laugh.
Scared? Oh, gosh. Here she comes.
I'm scared. What if I hate it?
I'm scared you won't hate it.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
What if I hate it? I'm scared.
Oh, no. Never mind.
Oh, my God. One.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Courtney.
How do you feel?
It's pretty. It is gorgeous.
But I wanted to show my physique offer.
My. My figure.
Can I please talk?
Mom, stop. They're talking to her.
Wait till they come home.
Okay. Got that?
Um. When do you look like you have a wad of toilet paper stuck on your ass?
What?
A wad of toilet paper.
It looks like.
It looks like you had a bad tummy ache and you kept trying to wipe, and it all got stuck
there.
If you removed that poop ball in the back, it is a gorgeous.
I know. But then even if they do that, then that's all I'm going to think about, is that
toilet paper used to be there.
I mean, your figure can look really good in that.
Amazing. And, you know, she got a breast, she got her boobs taken off because she felt like
they were too big. So to make her body look bigger.
Did you know that?
Well, now we do. Thanks for sharing that with us.
I'm sorry.
Good Lord. You don't have to go on TV and tell everybody that I had a breast reduction.
If my sign said, hell no.
It would be. Oh, my job. Oh, my God.
Hell, no. Okay, Next.
Okay.
She looks like she is about to cry over because you're over there channeling Grandma
says no. My grandmother, I call her Big Ma came through one of my bridesmaids.
I have two here who are also mediums.
So she's saying no to black in general.
Not open for discussion.
Big Ma is saying in the nicest form that she's pretty much going to kick my ass if I
get this black wedding dress.
But it's really, really pretty.
She's glowing in it.
Let me ask you this.
Do you feel like you could consider a dress that grandma wouldn't approve of?
Going in a dress, though, girl?
It's hard because I'm always trying to please, you know, my ancestors because
they're my guides.
But damn it. Now, listen, I'm gonna need you to go back across the veil and ask Big Ma.
Who paying for the dress?
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.
Now, you know it's your wedding.
Your wedding? You have a table for him.
I got a whole.
Table set up for her. You tell her that she got a table, a portrait, argue with the dead.
This is not tradition.
You should be on. Why?
It's my grandmother's opinion.
Today means everything.
I am walking in my truth.
I am walking in the gift that she left behind.
And of course, I want her to be proud.
So I'm going to bend a little bit.
Sarah's bride, Nancy, is having fun with her friends, but trouble finding a dress?
I like it.
And now she's even got some competition across the hall.
A guy in a gown.
My dress is what I would want my best friend to be wearing.
I'm too fat for this dress.
No bridal bridal runs very small.
Let's not get insulted by this.
I hope that the boys like it.
I think they'll.
Like it too.
We are coming out.
Oh.
Oh, he's gorgeous.
But he definitely didn't look better than me, so he got to stay.
You are.
You're gorgeous.
Yes.
Okay. What a vision.
I felt a little guilty.
Maybe I'd taken some of the the focus away from her for a second.
He was really upset that he didn't get to be a bridesmaid and a bridesmaid dress going
down the aisle. So this makes up for it.
It does.
Do you mind if I just.
My sister's opinion means the most to me because I really want her to accept my style.
How do you feel?
I like the bling.
Okay. I like the see through part.
I'm not sure if I like this part.
The tool.
Really? It's to Las Vegas showgirl.
Uh huh. Well, I mean, it's.
That's her opinion.
You're missing ruffles and feathers and dramatic.
It's absolutely not what I pictured her in at all.
That's got.
Some drama.
We've got drama, ladies.
Lots of drama.
Okay. How do we feel?
I love it, but I'm not getting the reaction that I want.
Okay, Go ahead. Okay.
All right, ladies.
Wow.
Really?
What? This is a generous to a generous, too.
I like this.
I got a reaction, but not the reaction I think I wanted.
It looks like you're lost in a big pile of Kleenex.
Oh, my God. Claudia, come on.
If she wears this down the aisle, it's going to make me want to sneeze.
I wanted the wow factor with you guys.
You didn't even have, like, any reaction.
I'm shocked you got the wow shock.
But I'm feeling disappointed because I did like the drama, But I want my sister to
really love it.
As Sarah begins searching for a sparkly gown with a princess.
Poof, she gets some unsolicited advice from mom.
If you could in this skirt, have like bunches in it, or maybe a flower with little diamonds
in it, then we're going over ten closer to 10,000.
No more than that to see.
This is what I have.
Not like this in the front.
Like get all the skirt to have the same pickups on it.
Punch punching here, punch in here, something like that.
You know what I'm talking about. I know exactly what you're talking about, but it's
if we have it, something like this, that could be.
But I don't think so.
And not too much cleavage.
We are. Yes, we said more fashion.
I feel like I just got ambushed.
Nora's confident as she comes out in dress number two.
I love it.
I felt really pretty in it.
Nora, you look like a cake topper.
We were telling her she's a cake topper.
And the skirt part.
I didn't like the skirt.
Yeah, it's like, so much.
I don't know what to look at. I want something classy and elegant and, like.
This is.
Classy.
It's like some material threw up all over the bottom.
I don't like the bottom at all.
I think it's tacky.
I really, really, really did.
Like this one.
Nora is really discouraged and kind of disappointed with how her family reacted to
this dress.
I would have probably got that dress if I.
If everybody didn't give me 101.
Insults about it.
I think it kind of, you know, broke her heart a little bit.
This shape is perfect.
This is exactly what I want.
Okay. Wow.
But the avant garde ballgown needs to get the thumbs up from the Greek chorus out in the
salon.
Oh, wow. Oh, my.
Okay. Can I explain myself?
Yes, please.
Can I hurry fast?
I love the front. I love the shape.
I love the waist. I love the.
Poof. The front of the dress.
Beautiful. I don't.
I don't like the back.
The back is not what I like about the dress.
It's like a mullet.
It's. It's classy in the front, but a party in the back.
I told her. Be as honest as you possibly can.
Boy, she's 11.
You guys want to hear the price?
How much? 15,000 for roses on your.
But that shut it down right away.
There was I wanted to get out of that dress as soon as possible.
The rose dress doesn't make the cut, so it's quickly on to a third ball gown.
All right. They have to love this one.
If they don't love this one, then I don't care what they think.
I love this one. I'm so nervous for you.
I'm nervous for me too.
You like this one a lot?
I can tell. I can tell, too.
I like everything about this dress.
I love the back. The back is my favorite.
I love what it does for my shape.
It's just gorgeous.
The brides in love.
But the dress has to win over her entourage.
I mean, like.
In my head, I'm like, oh, no, she loves this one.
I hate this one.
No, the bottom to me, it kind of looks a little on the cheapy side.
Why? Tell me why.
I'm a little frustrated at this point because the family's telling me what they
like. So how do I figure out what she likes and what they like and get everybody kind of
on the same page?
I don't know if I like the way it just cuts ends to me.
It makes it.
Feel a little dated.
If you're not going to be honest with your family, who are you going to be honest with?
I thought that was the dress I was going to walk out and she loved that dress.
She's still in it. She didn't want to get out of it.
I don't like it, Mommy.
I didn't really like the first dress because it was like, too.
Like, plain.
And I didn't really like it.
I don't really like the top of it.
You don't like here?
No, I think you would do better.
Strapless. Do you think so?
Yeah. Do you think it's cutting me, like, bad here or.
Yeah. I think it takes away from the dress.
I like it.
But I'm not in love with it.
Okay, off we go.
All right. We'll be back next year.
Moving forward for her second dress, Jenny continues with the elegant lace theme, this
time without straps.
I really like this a lot.
This might absolutely be it.
I don't know.
Okay, here we go.
I see. I really like this.
I do really, really like the strapless.
I was kind of shocked that I really do like it so much.
All right.
I think it fits you beautifully.
I think it's fabulous, too.
I love the.
Strapless. Fabulous.
Do you like it, live or not?
It looks pretty.
It looks pretty okay.
I think it's pretty, but.
I don't think it's a good enough to be.
A fabulous.
Oh. Oh, she totally planned that.
Oh.
So when I look over and see Madeline holding up the block sign for this dress, I'm
thinking, okay, this is not going to work because they're really an important part of
this appointment. Maddie This is her favorite so far.
I like it, but I don't like.
It a lot. I did feel like there was a little bit of a conflict there because the mom in me
doesn't want to disappoint her.
I know I kind of want everybody to be like, This is it, man.
Madeline She's so.
Hard. She's like, harder than most people on the couch.
All right.
Here we go.
Counting on you guys.
All right, here we go.
I love the first dress, but my friends are.
Definitely going to want to see me in as many as possible dresses that I can get on my
body.
Try on just something completely different.
Fun and flirty. Something very unique.
Nothing plain and definitely unique.
Nothing cathedral or traditional whatsoever.
You have to be sassy to.
Everyone wanted to.
See her in something different, something more elaborate.
The first dress is a hit with Cali and mom, but the others convince the bride to keep
looking.
This is a good starting point.
It's definitely a good starting point.
It's the middle of Carly's appointment and all of her guests that she has brought with
her have disappeared.
They're off in the salon pulling dresses.
This is what I want my brother to see.
When his wife is walking down the aisle.
I see the in-laws wanting.
They know you don't like satin.
It is a mermaid shape.
We have to tell them to stop.
I'm feeling overwhelmed in all these dresses are running together.
They just kept wanting to see more and more dresses.
It was just becoming a circus.
The bride needs to stay focused.
This is me and you.
So whatever you want, we do.
Whatever goes on out there is out there.
Okay.
But Carly doesn't want to cause a scene, so she still puts on her in-laws pick.
Carly was trying on dresses that had nothing to do with the description of dresses that
she had given me. Here she is in a corset.
Full satin, heavy dress.
Looks beautiful on her, but it wasn't what she was looking for.
I'm sacrificing a little bit of comfort for this dress.
Oh, look at her. She loves it.
Yeah, it's satin.
I thought she didn't.
Like that, but we insisted.
I felt like if I was wearing that dress, I would have said yes right away.
It is my favorite, too.
The dress is a hit with the party, but Carly's confused.
Carly, do you like this better than the first one?
I'm not a satin person.
The satin dress was not what I had been looking for at all.
It's very uncomfortable.
It was extremely heavy, but showed my figure a lot more.
Carly faces a choice between the drama of this dress and the comfort of the first gown.
She tried.
I love the first dress.
It's easy to move in and you'd have fun in it.
I was getting swayed by this other dress.
It was beautiful, had beautiful flowers.
I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I don't even remember what I came in here for.
