Can we get a segment just about Jo and Al, how they became friends, and how/why they decided to open a bridal shop together? Love them & would love to know more about their story!

[@jb6712]

I don't think they're doing anymore shows currently. Al had gastric bypass surgery a few years ago, lost a huge amount of weight (looks fantastic!), and they were making some show about cleaning houses (it flopped quickly). I don't know if they even have the bridal shop anymore, nor how to find out, not knowing either of their last names, nor the name of the shop.

[@sophiebamford5224]

@@jb6712 Their names are Jo Cooke and Alison Law. The shop is called Curves and Couture Bridal Boutique. The shop is still open, but I dont know if Jo and Al are still there

Yes I loved that!

[@virginiaboone8163]

I love the way Jo and Al dress when they attend their clients’ weddings… very professional and appropriate. The bride is beautiful!

Lovely bride,

[@amyperkins2008]

I would love to visit Jo and Al at their dress shop. Living in the states, I have never found a shop that just focuses on plus size. We usually just get the few options that make you feel like you are wearing a tent. But getting to the other size of the world isn't an option for me right now.

[@zanay9038]

@@amyperkins2008 Della Curva in LA does just that! I got my dress there today :)

[@YT4Me57]

She slipped right into that dress! It was just waiting for her to come through. Stunning bride. The flower girls' bright red hair against the white of their dresses took my breath away. You don't often see such coloration in my area. A beautiful wedding.

[@mel924]

The bride was gorgeous!

[@melodied4314]

I agree. The bride -- and especially the flower girl -- have amazingly gorgeous red hair!!

My twin girls have that red hair and it's amazing!

Hello 👋

[@intrepidtomato]

Love to see it too. It is so easy to see when they are a bit nervous for each other and so clearly in love. Ahhhh...

[@zabindhanji]

Jo & Al found the perfect dress for Laura. Not overly fussy and feminine. I think that the fact it had pockets and a belt, helped her to feel more at ease in it. She looked beautiful.

[@margmally1439]

Tears in the Groom's eyes made me cry happy tears for them! You fine ladies have done it again!

[@shihalya]

I Love that we all have this instant joy when we find pockets

[@vallee3140]

I love pockets so much, when I bought a jacket which had them sewn up deliberately, I unpicked the stitches. bliss

[@lindastone3278]

She is so very pretty, I don’t know how she doesn’t see it!

[@ellenmason3833]

She is lovely inside and out.

[@MrsBrit1]

She is, but it's likely because someone in her life, at some point, made it their life's mission to make sure she didn't see it, whether it was outright from someone like a verbally abusive partner/parent/schoolmate, etc, or subtle, even by a loved one constantly criticising themselves. That's usually the case.

[@joyceutt3419]

@@MrsBrit1 I have been through this experience called tube of lard etc verbal abuse started at home my claimed he was helping me he sure did I become angry towards men

[@villanessa]

She was taught not to see it.

[@figmo397]

The kicker is that the first thing you notice about this bride is her amazing hair and not her weight.

[@user-qy9rt9cy2b]

Shese a beautiful girl ❤❤

[@MrsBrit1]

Omg how cute was that groom scrunching up with tears when he saw her? Adorable!

[@user-qg8qu6gg4s]

The bride has such pretty eyes and hair. Looks stunning with the colors they chose.

[@neilbrie8972]

The bride looks amazing, the groom so sweet. She definitely should wear dresses: in can see her in dresses 50s style.. Wish them all the happiness!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I agree. 50s style would suit her quite well.

[@tarafranzen9964]

The color choices and bouquet were gorgeous! And she chose the perfect dress for herself! ❤🎉

[@martha4276]

Let's talk about how beautiful the bride and flower girls' copper organge hair is! The whole family must be quite beautiful

[@darlenelipuma7769]

Those children were GORGEOUS!! So was the bride, and the groom was quite handsome. A lifetime of happiness for them both.

[@cupcakes1087]

It’s so sweet to see grooms cry. My husband cried trying to say his vows to me. Such a beautiful moment.

[@JoJo-tk6wi]

The groom crying made me shed a tear too🥺. What a beautiful love they share❤️. May the Lord bless them !

I love these two and the love and encouragement they show their brides 💜

[@virginiamoss7045]

Love the color of the bride's hair; also the same as the little girl. Wonderful.

[@betheroo2397]

"You're wearing that dress, it's not wearing you." Such a perfect statement! It seems like it sums up these lovely ladies sentiment. More often than not I know I get self-conscious and let whatever I'm wearing get the best of my confidence, when really what matters is the person underneath.

[@trishweber9695]

what a natural beauty she is.

[@gracielou1407]

She was a very beautiful bride. I loved how she did her hair that the uniqueness of the flowers. It goes without saying that the gown was stunning [with her in it!].

Gorgeous! Everything! The bride, the dress, the colors, the groom, the flower girls!

[@travelinggirl6681]

I love Jo and Al and how they help the bride through emotional and difficult dress shopping. This groom is so sweet when he says that he is going to boost her confidence and then he tears up when they are pronounced man and wife. She looked absolutely beautiful. What a sweet couple. I wish them all the best.

[@jeanettelynch2455]

Jo and Al, you are the most supportive women. The ladies look fantastic. Would love to meet you both someday.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the fact that Jo and Al will drop what they have going on to help out a bride on her wedding day. It speaks volume as professionals!!🥰💛💙

[@lorigardiner1820]

From the blue and bright yellow that the men wore, to the beautiful bouquet the bride carried and to the dress, it was a simply stunning wedding.

I really like the blue and yellow theme. It looks so summery. Then she comes around the corner....simply beautiful 😍

[@barbaras676]

I’ve seen dozens of these episodes and this is my favorite one so far! As a woman who never wears dresses either, I love how she went with the pockets and little sparkle right away. She just knew it was her dress! And the beautiful redheads (esp the flower girl) made this episode so charming. Thanks ladies!!

I love these videos because it shows getting the dress, getting in the dress on the day, and then some of the wedding. Wish more videos were like this.

[@jukes243]

I have found that a dress is actually more comfortable and makes me feel thinner than jeans ever did. Laura looks lovely.

[@kathleenardrey5094]

What a beautiful young woman, and her handsome groom! One of the best couples ever with Jo & Al! Such love and joy, and hopes!!

[@barbarasharwood4578]

I like every time I watch Jo & Al, even before I watch the whole episode, because I know they will turn every shy or inhibited bride who lacks confidence in their body into someone who actually loves their curves. You ladies are amazing. It's taken me over 50 years to accept the body I have & embrace my curves rather than hide them. Thank you.

Okay but her moms outfit for the wedding was also PERFECT 💙

[@isabellancali5388]

I love the suit and colors for the groom! He looks so Sharp! The bride is absolutely beautiful! I dare her to wear more form fitting dresses. She has the figure to show it off. I hope she can get comfortable enough in her own skin to know how beautiful she is and that she CAN wear form fitting dresses, too.
