Say yes to the dress.
Say yes to 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.
It looks pretty--
Woo, hi.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
I'm Lisa. I'm great.
I know.
I know you're Lisa.
And you guys-- who are you?
I'm mom.
And I'm Katie, Jenny's sister.
Hi Katie, Lisa.
Oh, my god.
What a beautiful family.
Thank you.
Look at these outfits.
We've got of pop of fringe and our pop of rhinestones
that I always have fringe in rhinestones on.
I--
--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 snowstorm in five years
in Nashville that night.
Yes.
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!
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.
Do we have a budget in mind?
So I'd like to say between 3 and 3,500.
OK.
We are going to find your wedding dress.
I have no doubt. - Perfect.
Great.
All right?
See you guys soon.
- All right, let's go. - Let's go.
Come on back.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, yes.
It's so pretty.
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 Lianna.
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.
Let's see.
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: 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.
I think that we should start with this one.
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 a 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 the bunch.
What bunch?
I mean, you saw my sister.
She's gorgeous.
Growing up, people would look at her and be like, oh my gosh.
You're 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.
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.
OK.
She is very beautiful, but you are stunning, too.
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.
Wow.
She did too good on the first one.
I'm like wait a second.
Wow.
LISA FUHRMAN: What do you guys think?
I like it.
KATHLEEN TOLMAN: It's very pretty.
LISA FUHRMAN: Isn't it stunning?
I feel so pretty.
I love all of this.
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.
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.
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.
Oh.
Terrible anxiety issues.
And so I'm-- 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.
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.
Let's go.
Like I don't know where we're going to go from here,
but show me some more magic.
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.
JENNY TOLMAN: Right?
We'll see you in a minute.
OK.
That's very pretty.
Yeah.
Well, that--
That was a way to make an entrance.
That was a major, major hit.
Yes, absolutely.
OK.
This is going to be hard to beat.
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 that is out of your budget.
JENNY TOLMAN: Yes it is.
That has very--
It's out of your budget, Jenny.
Remember.
And very limited sparkle.
JENNY TOLMAN: It is.
Has some, but limited.
Then I found the most fabulous--
I like stumbled on it when I was looking for another one--
dress by this designer Rachel Gilbert in your price point.
JENNY TOLMAN: Ooh.
It is so winter-wonderland magnificent.
Take a look.
Oh, my gosh.
Whoa. LISA FUHRMAN: Do you like it?
That's gorgeous.
Wow, this dress is so different.
It's just straight beading, and it's gonna
be a shock factor I think.
I want you to keep your eyes closed, because, I mean,
I think you're going to think you look smashing,
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.
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 costume-y 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.
- Let's put this one back on. - I know.
I'm just-- I've been waiting this whole time
to put it back on. - Me, too.
- Let's be honest. - Yeah, exactly.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, you're back in that dress.
JENNY TOLMAN: I'm back.
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 that's exactly what I want to feel
like walking down the aisle.
Do you love it as much as she does?
Yeah.
It's very pretty.
JENNY TOLMAN: Are you gonna cry?
I'm very happy that she has found
the dress that makes her feel good
and that she wants to get married in?
OK, 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 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 on to for so long--
just know that this is what I want to walk down the aisle in.
LISA FUHRMAN: 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.
Yes, Lisa?
Are you saying yes to the dress?
- (SINGING) I'm sayin'-- - Yes!
Yes!
[CHEERING]
Very beautiful-- stunning.
Oh, I got the word!
