(SINGING) Woo-hoo.
Woo-hoo.
Ronnie Rothstein, how are you doing?
Good to see.
Listen, I'm doing great.
I see pretty-- looks like pretty sketches in the back
of the next collection.
Yeah, I'm working--
I'm working on my collection, yeah.
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: We've got-- we've got a wonderful bride.
She worked in the ICU when COVID broke out.
She was at the hottest spot in America,
where more people were suffering from COVID than any place
in the United States.
She was busy really, really helping people, and Randy,
she's still doing it.
Wow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's the first nice day we've had in New York in a while,
so hopefully, this is a good omen for a good dress fitting.
Today is just about the anniversary of when COVID
really hit New York hard, and it's crazy
that on the year anniversary, I'm feeling very excited to see
my dress for the first time.
I never saw myself here a year ago.
Thankfully, numbers are going down substantially.
There's now a vaccine, so it's-- it's good.
It's moving in the right direction.
I feel like it's just in time for the wedding.
Finally back, going to see the dress.
I'm so excited.
It's going to look so good.
The last time I saw my dress was about six months ago,
I think. CANDACE: Hey.
DOROTHY: First of all, thank you for staying late.
I have a bride here.
Her friend wrote an email to Ronnie.
Uh-huh.
DOROTHY: The bride is a doctor, during all this COVID.
CANDACE: Oh.
DOROTHY: She could only come tonight.
So I wrote an email to Ronnie because I
know how much of a fan Ashley is of the store Kleinfeld.
She needs this princess moment.
Oh, my god!
This is by Masion Signore.
ASHLEY BRAY: It's light.
It's airy.
I can see it blowing around on the beach,
and I'm really excited about that.
SAMANTHA KARP: It's so pretty.
Aw!
She's a hero to us, and Ronnie, it's
his gift to you, this dress.
So I just want you to know that, you know?
ASHLEY BRAY: I was that person that said I was never going
to cry over a dress, and I immediately, embarrassingly
broke down in tears because it was just such a moment that I
didn't know I was going to have that dream
of finding my dress, much less having it gifted to me.
So Ashley, are you saying yes to the dress?
Yes!
[WOMEN CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
It's a day I'm going to remember for the rest of my life,
and the dress that I found is my dream dress, on top of that.
So Sam, you can sit.
SAMANTHA KARP: Perfect.
And we can go.
ASHLEY BRAY: I'll see you in a second.
My fiance's name is Josh, and we've been together
for about three years now.
And he's just the most amazing person in the world.
His full-time job during COVID was to take care of me.
He did so much for this wedding.
He was the one that called all the vendors
while I was working.
His family jokes he's more excited for this wedding.
The wedding is going to be at the Crescent
Beach Club in Bayville, on the North Shore of Long Island.
Our backdrop is the ocean.
It's going to be absolutely beautiful.
So the last thing I need is my dress,
and I want to see what it looks like.
I want to see if it looks as good as I remember it.
I'm sure it will, but I can't wait to try
it on and get it all fit.
So this is your beautiful dress.
Oh, my gosh, it looks even better than the first time.
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: Randy, we've got--
we've got a wonderful bride.
We're doing a fitting for her right now.
She doesn't know that you and I are
going to be speaking to her, so let me-- let me walk up.
And we'll go over there.
Wow, it fits you like a gloves.
Oh, my gosh.
It looks beautiful, beautiful.
I can't wait for Josh to see me in this dress.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SAMANTHA KARP: Oh, my god!
Stop it!
ASHLEY BRAY: What are we thinking?
SAMANTHA KARP: I love it.
Are you kidding?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Ashley.
Hi!
And Samantha?
Hi.
So this young lady wrote me the most
beautiful letter in the world.
Every bride who comes into Kleinfeld is special.
You're more special than everybody right now.
You're saving lives.
Don't do this to me.
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: And you-- and you risked your life.
I don't know how to thank you.
How-- how does-- how does everybody in New York
thank you?
There's somebody very special who we would like you to meet,
and his name is Randy Fenoli.
Hello, beautiful Ashley.
How are you?
I'm good.
(GIGGLING) Oh, my god, hi!
Oh, my god!
Let me see the dress.
I want to see the dress.
It looks amazing.
Oh, wow, isn't that Masion Signore?
ASHLEY BRAY: It is.
That is gorgeous on you.
Wow.
ASHLEY BRAY: Thank you!
It's my dream dress.
I can't even--
RANDY FENOLI: This is your first fitting?
Yes.
RANDY FENOLI: Wow, it looks really--
it looks like it fits almost.
I mean, what do they have to do?
Do you know?
Gotta pull it up a little over here.
[LAUGHTER]
Is it-- is it coming out a little bit too much?
Just a little bit, but it's OK.
I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying, it could use a little adjustment.
That's all.
She's going to be the most beautiful bride.
Thank you so much.
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: Listen, we're grateful that you came here.
Even little Lucy came to say hello.
Hi!
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: To say hello.
RANDY FENOLI: I've got Chewy. Look.
Chewy says hello.
MARA: Hi, Randy.
RANDY FENOLI: Hi, Mara.
How are you?
I'm wishing you and Josh the most wonderful wedding and the
most beautiful future together.
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: And Josh is a lucky guy.
So congratulations.
Muah!
RONNIE ROTHSTEIN: We'll see you soon.
Bye.
I'm excited.
[CLAPPING] This is good.
This is good stuff.
Oh, my gosh, it's so beautiful.
It's perfect.
Ashley looks amazing in this dress.
I'm looking forward to this wedding.
I can't wait to see Ashley in the dress, all fitted,
see it on the beach, see her marry her fiance.
Like, I can't wait.
Sam, thank you.
Of course.
Again and again and again.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
You deserve it more than anyone.
ASHLEY BRAY: Walking down the aisle,
I'm going to feel so overwhelmed and so happy
and really humbled by this experience.
I get to take that really good energy into wedding day
and marry the man of my dreams in the dress of my dreams.
Like, you can't really ask for more.
I'm so ready to get married.
[GIGGLES]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ASHLEY BRAY: A year ago today, I didn't know if I would
actually be getting married.
I didn't know if I was going to have to put off the wedding,
but I was extremely lucky we picked
our date, like, two weeks before the pandemic really hit.
And then we got to keep our date,
and everything has kind of worked out.
We gave everybody customized masks, sanitizer.
Over 70% of our wedding is vaccinated,
and then everybody else got a rapid negative the day of.
I keep looking at my dress.
It's so beautiful.
It's hanging up.
It's torturing me because I just want to put it on already.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
"Ashley, the world has changed a lot since we first met.
I remember meeting you downtown but having
no idea what to expect.
This little shawty medical student with green eyes
that light up a room.
The world changed for me that day.
[LAUGHS] [SNIFFLES]
Watching you face every adversity before you
this past year, I remember you coming home last spring,
eyes swollen with tears, face imprinted from the mask.
I've never respected someone so much.
I just can't imagine anyone loving anyone as much
as I love you, until I wake up the next day
because I love you even more.
I'm the luckiest man in the world to be marrying you.
I look forward to our beautiful life together forever.
Love, Josh."
I love that man.
I love him.
[LAUGHTER]
She's beautiful.
The dress is beautiful.
Everything is going her way.
You couldn't ask for a better daughter.
Babies.
[LAUGHS]
[MEN CHEERING]
JOSH HANTMAN: I'm anxious.
I'm marrying the woman of my dreams,
and I'm looking forward to have a good time.
I'm looking forward to see Ashley in her dress.
I'm looking forward to see your smile.
I didn't think this day was ever going to happen.
I'm like, where's it going?
Ashley is my heart.
I'm lucky to be with her.
I don't know what she sees in me.
I mean, there's unlimited things to see about her, but there's--
I don't know what she's doing with me.
But that's another story.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) You be the captain.
I'll be the maid.
You call it chance, and I'll call it fate.
The stars aligned for us.
ASHLEY BRAY: Walking toward Josh, I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I was overcome with emotions.
It just solidified that I'm marrying the perfect person.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Today signifies the creation of a new home
and a new family for you both.
May you be fulfilled by each other's love and friendship
and the life together you will create.
Do you, Josh, take this woman, Ashley?
I do.
OFFICIANT: And do you, Ashley, take this man, Josh?
I do.
[GIGGLES]
[LAUGHTER]
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Mazel tov!
[CROWD CHEERING]
ASHLEY BRAY: There were a lot of times where we didn't think
that this was going to be possible because of everything
going on in the world, but the fact that it was perfect--
look at this weather.
Like, everything about today was completely perfect.
It was really good.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the beautiful Crescent Club.
ASHLEY BRAY: It's like a tropical paradise.
It seems like you're on an island.
It's-- - This is Long Island.
[INAUDIBLE] - [LAUGHS]
