Prashanthi?
Yes. MINDY: Hi, there.
I'm Mindy. - Hi, Mindy.
I brought a special someone. PRASHANTHI: Oh!
We have Randy here.
Hello, beautiful.
Hi, Randy.
RANDY: So tell me, who's the gentleman behind you?
This is my future brother-in-law, Mike.
How are you?
And the reason that my fiance and I are together.
OK.
And who are you, beautiful?
Oh, I'm her friend Sally Ann.
Wonderful.
And what's your fiance's name?
BOTH: Steven.
Mike and I have been working together for so long.
And I say to him, where are all the good guys?
And he says, my brother is a good guy.
But he was like, oh, you probably
won't want to date him.
He's kind of a nerd.
And he's really into board games.
And I'm like, I love board games.
He connected the both of us.
Our first conversation lasted about two hours,
and I never felt that way with anyone before.
Have you thought about your wedding dress at all?
I want a big ball gown.
As an Indian person, your wedding
is the epitome of your life.
And the one thing that I love about Steven
is, he has embraced my culture so much.
We're doing a Mehndi ceremony.
I will be wearing what's called a lehenga,
so it'll be a blouse and a skirt, and usually a shawl.
And then after that, we are going
to have a traditional Catholic ceremony.
And today, I'm shopping for my bridal gown
for my Catholic ceremony.
I like the idea of an empire waist, lots of tulle,
lace as well, and off shoulder.
Have you tried on a dress with an empire waist
with lots of tulle?
I have not.
OK.
If you have an on empire waist and then you
have lots of tulle, you're probably going
to look like you're expecting.
Oh, really? [LAUGHTER]
Oh, yeah.
No, I don't want that.
We're getting married in a Catholic church.
We want to stick to more of a conservative look,
a classy look.
Now, when is your wedding?
This is the crazy part.
OK.
My wedding is two and a half months away.
Oh-kay!
PRASHANTHI: Yes, yes.
Challenge accepted.
Yeah.
It's really-- it's really cutting it close.
It may limit us a little bit on what we can get.
MINDY: Yeah.
Most likely, what you see on the floor--
it is going to take the six to eight months to come in.
So I don't want to bring in something that you fall in love
with, and then I can't get it.
That's the hardest part.
And how much are you looking to spend?
I've budgeted for about six to eight.
I ended up waiting so long to pick out my dress,
because we didn't know what we were
going to do about COVID and travel and things like that.
Basically, once things seemed a little safer,
that's when we decided to go full force.
And that's why I'm here today.
Oh, there's like a 30-pound dress
over there I think she should put on, just for the fun of it.
[LAUGHTER]
She probably doesn't weigh 30 pounds.
Oh, it's Ran-- wait.
It's one of your dresses.
Yes.
RANDY: Oh, let me see.
Is that Brussels?
MINDY: I think it is Brussels.
RANDY: That's the one I just wrote down.
MINDY: No way.
Swear to God.
It's a dropped waist.
It's the exact opposite of an empire waist,
so it's actually going to show off way more of your figure
than right underneath that bustline.
I do love it.
This is incredible.
And also, keep in mind, it's sheer on the sides.
But it comes with a lining, so you will have more coverage.
Oh, my goodness.
I feel like it just keeps selling itself even more.
But I have to see if I can get it in time.
So why don't you try it on first and see if you like it.
If she likes it, I'll call and see what we have.
Awesome. All right.
So you're actually gonna follow me this way.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Gorgeous ball gown.
But I'm a little bit concerned about the amount of exposure.
I want to keep my look conservative for the wedding.
MINDY: What do we think?
Wow.
You're taking it in. I see.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, I--
I feel like a princess.
Good.
That's what we're aiming for.
But I--
I'd love to see what other dresses
are available, too, just that provide
a little bit more coverage.
Mike, Sally Ann, and I were immediately
drawn to Randy's dress.
But I'm feeling like, OK.
It's not exactly what I'm looking for.
And then I have to tell Randy that?
MIKE: Whoa. Hang on.
Wait. I see her.
[LAUGHS] Oh, my goodness.
What do you--
what do you think?
Do you like it?
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, wow.
MIKE: I see tulle.
[LAUGHS] Look at the size of that train.
MINDY: It's an insane train.
MIKE: Can I say something?
Emotions.
Oh, Mike is crying.
No, 'cause-- no.
Come on.
Steven's going to see, no matter what
dress you buy, when you see him look at you
the way I looked at my wife.
Oh, Mike.
SALLY ANN: That was so sweet.
Everyone's getting emotional.
Michael's crying.
Oh, Michael.
You're so sweet.
You guys all suck.
[LAUGHTER]
Not you, Randy.
Not you.
So Prashanthi, how do you feel?
It's-- it's beautiful.
And I-- I'm just a little concerned with the mesh
right here, and having the back so transparent.
I'm not saying no.
I'm just-- there's a little concern.
Well, here's the thing.
You have to absolutely love it 100%, and have no hesitation.
So I definitely think you need to try on some more dresses.
I think you may be right.
It's a little nerve wracking, because I
do have a very specific taste of what I want,
and the clock is ticking.
We're two and a half months away.
I have to get my dress.
Nope.
I mean, I know a lot of these dresses
are dresses that Prashanthi would really love,
but none of them I can get in time for her wedding.
How can I help?
Hi, Dorothy.
First of all, she's looking for something
a little bit more conservative.
OK.
She likes sparkles.
She likes tulle.
She likes that kind of princessy vibe.
What she's asking for is not unheard of.
It's just her time frame is pretty close,
and I don't want to disappoint her by not being
able to get what she wants.
Did you look in the in-stock dresses at all?
I didn't, because I know she's wanting something
a little more covered.
But I'll look there now.
- You know? - Yeah, let's take a look.
Let me just take a peek.
The minutes are going by, and I'm starting to get in my head.
I'm two and a half months away.
My options are limited.
The pressure is on.
Can you just do me a favor?
Just look at this for one second.
MINDY: Sure. - This one here.
It's tiny, with the off the shoulder.
[GASPS] Possibly, possibly.
OK.
So Kleinfeld has a limited selection
of what we call in-stock gowns.
They are brand-new dresses in a variety
of sizes and shapes for brides with close wedding dates.
[KNOCKS]
Prashanthi, can I come in?
PRASHANTHI: Yes.
Awesome.
OK, take a look at this one.
PRASHANTHI: OK.
It's brand new.
Wow.
We like to keep a collection of in-stock gowns,
just for these purposes, when we have our close date brides.
What I love about this is it's different than the first one.
It's kind of this all-over detail,
and it's got the off the shoulder.
Oh, I love.
MINDY: Yeah?
I love.
It is pure elegance.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
I don't even know what to say.
Like, let's see if we can make Mike cry again.
Let's do it.
Oh.
[GASPS] She's coming.
She's coming.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh.
Oh, wow.
Beautiful.
That's gorgeous.
MINDY: This is kind of like a 1 in 1,000,000 chance
that we have the dress that is perfect, in stock, in her size,
ready to go.
Prashanthi, how do you feel?
Randy, I absolutely love it.
Woo!
I love the sparkle.
PRASHANTHI: I think this is perfect, right?
SALLY ANN: It's beautiful. MINDY: Absolutely.
PRASHANTHI: Right?
I mean, I don't know if you can tell.
Take a look in the mirror for me.
DOROTHY: What's the verdict?
Oh, Dorothy, we love it.
And the great thing is is that it's in stock,
so you can walk out with it today.
That's huge.
I feel like the stars aligned.
That this is the dress for me.
Look how happy she looks. SALLY ANN: Mm-hmm.
I am.
I'm very, very happy.
Steven's gonna flip out.
He's gonna to see her finally in a dress.
That moment, you only get one of.
PRASHANTHI: Oh, Mike's I'm getting emotional again.
Mike's gonna hide from the camera again.
We were afraid, knowing that there might not
be a dress for her to take home in such a short period of time.
And we're good.
Everything's-- I love it.
What kind of veil would you recommend?
A simple one or something a little more extravagant.
I think the dress has a lot going on,
so you want to keep it clean around the face.
Because if you have lace around your face, to me,
it takes away from your beauty.
I like that veil.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I feel like royalty.
It is so gorgeous.
I'm feeling all tingly.
And it's it.
This is it.
The moment.
I know it.
Mindy, I think we need to ask the question.
I think so, too, Randy.
Prashanthi?
BOTH: Are you saying Yes to the Dress?
I'm saying Yes to the Dress!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Congratulations.
Yes!
Oh, congrats.
Thank you.
There's so many emotions.
I'm feeling excited.
I'm feeling grateful.
I'm feeling relieved.
There's just, like, everything that I wanted to happen today
did.
And I got my dress.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Randy.
Thank you so much for your help.
It was such a pleasure to be part of this appointment.
Really, truly.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Bye.
Mwah!
