These two ladies are the most supportive women i've seen on this show, i adore them so much and what they do for brides.

[@violeta8626]

not really or not always, saying "you don't have to be the funny fat one" as if fat / overweight women cannot make jokes about themselves!!! We all do it fat and thin people. Somehow it has become popular to say that fat people are funny to mask something / their unhappiness of being overweight. How discriminatory is that. Just ridiculous

@@violeta8626 sorry love but when we are fat to fit in we try to be the funny one !!!the skinny one gets all the men just cos she’s skinny These women on here have been big all their life then lost weight so they know the cou!!!! You seriously haven’t got a clue what ya talking about 🤬🤬🤬 I live where JO and AL live They are not discriminating anyone you fool ! They are being real !!!! Jog on love

[@sherry6825]

@@violeta8626 People do use humor to mask insecurity, as you said, regardless of whether it is weight, something else in their appearance or inner unresolved issues. Weight doesn't define a person but the importance of overall health should be the focus. This beautiful young woman needs to love herself as much as she is obviously loved by others.

[@Rekkanotara]

I love how the mom and the mother-in-law were genuinely happy for her and seemed like good friends as well.

[@Annielee825]

This episode made me cry. I was bullied in school because of my average looks and couple of extra pounds. It was hell, but I never told my parents. I'm now 32 and only recently my mum asked me quietly what she had done wrong when I was a child, because I never brought friends over and showed zero interest in meeting other kids after school, let alone form long-lasting relationships. I felt so, so sorry in that moment that she blamed herself for everything. I don't think I'll ever get married, but if I do, I hope I can take my mum dress-shopping to also give her a bit of that happiness back that she deserves

[@englishteadrinker736]

I hope you get to do that with your mum. Wishing you love and happiness ❤️

Don’t lost hope, one day u will met that special someone because a secret of the real beauty is the crystal in ur heart. A true love will love u for who u are inside not the outside.

Wow, her eyes are crazy stunning, but her smile is out of this world. What a gorgeous young woman, who radiates warmth and allurement from within. I really hope this bride truly realizes her beauty, has a marvelous wedding, and a spectacular life with her husband. Her students are very lucky.

Ladies I need to thank you so much for what you’ve created here as a plus size bride 37 years ago I went bridal shopping by myself and chose a gown by myself because I wanted to make sure that I liked it for me myself without any outside static or embarrassment that they couldn’t close the back anything like that and then I took my choice and I went to my mom and I showed it to her in a bridal shop again I married 37 years and I was engaged for two my 88-year-old mother still talks about being left out of the decision and if I had a boutique like yours that would’ve never been left on her mind all of these years and again I just want thank you so much for what you’ve created here may God bless you both and keep you both safe.

She is so beautiful and the dress looked stunning on her. I cried. I was also bullied and I'm 50 years old. It took me a long, long time to overcome the negative thoughts. I hope she sees what everyone else sees when they look at her. She's gorgeous. My child was developmentally delayed, so I hold special needs teachers close to my heart. I hope she knows what a difference she makes with her career.
