Tracey is still best friends with her ex husband and brings him along to her bridal consultation so he can advise her on what wedding dress looks best. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
I love when couples realize they aren’t perfect for each other, but still stay friends. It makes me happy to see mature people staying friends instead of falling out
@rando Unless, of course, the reason they split was that they realised there was no romantic attraction and had really been living more as 'flatmates' than 'husband and wife' all along (which I suspect is the scenario here).
True, I once had a girlfriend and after 1 years of loving her we broke up because she told me she was straight and not attracted to girls. She is still my best friend.
Omg. Her ex-husband talking about how her new dress “shows how much she has grown as a person” like WHAT!?! How wonderful is their relationship! So sweet
Her exhusband had no problem saying yes to their divorce!!!! What's he doing saying yes to her soon to be husbands brides choice of dress! That was like bringing Dracula to a blood bank‼️‼️‼️
@@geraldinemaher8637 I can see how a couple would just burn out after a while. At least they can still be friends. Very unusual. I didn’t want to be in the same COUNTY as my EX, LOL!🤦🏼♀️
I don’t know why everyone is weirded out by the ex husband? Not all splitting ups has to be nasty. The way I see it here is that they were really good friends, mistook their friendship for love, got married, then realized their relationship wasn’t romantic but more platonic and so they split up and are now finding happiness and supporting each other. I think it’s really beautiful!
They were together for a long time, they said it themselves. It was not friends having a starter marriage for a month. If you aren’t prepared for having periods in life where you are more friends than anything you might be headed for divorce. It’s nice that they get along but at the same time they could have stayed together and have the same friendship and then more romantic period would have come again if they spend time together.
Sara Samaletdin Or it could be that they got together really young, got married young and grew up. When he mentions her personality being much more colorful than when they were together (he mentions it as a good thing), for me that is the reason they divorced. They are still each other closest friends, but as they matured, they réalisés that spark wasn’t there anymore. And actually, good for them to know when to divorce, as they did not become bitter, or create uneccessary conflicts between them
I agree me and my ex husband are friends and him and my husband get along. I do not see what the big deal is. I know some divorces are extremely nasty to the point of people hating each other but when i made the decision to divorce it wasn't because i hated my ex it was partly because I saw it leading to us hating each other and I didn't want that for us especially since we share children together. We both wanted different things in our lives I wanted stability and someone I could grow old with he wanted the freedom to do whatever he wanted whenever. I felt I was keeping him when he didn't want to be kept not that he didn't love me he did and I loved him too but I loved him and our children enough to not let us live miserably. He didn't want to be committed to anyone he was married to his work which is fine for him it makes him happy and I am happy for him. When I started dating I wouldn't introduce my children to someone I was seeing unless it was going to be something serious and my ex husband wanted to make sure that I was with someone who would treat me right the way I deserved. I hope one day he too will find someone great. He of course is only wanting to work and spend time with our kids right now. There is nothing wrong with remaining friends after a divorce. Just because things may not work out doesn't mean that you do not want good things for your ex husband or wife because at one point you were sharing your life with them with plans of being together forever. It also doesn't mean that you didn't try to make things work. Most of the time it is trying for years to make it work. When you love or care about someone you want them to be happy and you too want and deserve to be happy. Life is too short to live it miserably there is also no need to waste time making someone miserable that is not a happy or good life to me. Of course there will be good times and bad in any relationship and things to work on. Marriage isn't for everyone and knowing who you are as a person can help you find who truly is right for you.
My parents have divorced after 40 but were married at 19. Both remarried but both send Christmas presents, wedding presents etc to eachother. It's refreshing to see others like that.
My Mum left when I was 15. It took about ten years for my parents to start chatting comfortably at family weddings ect, but for the last 15 years they've been really good friends. I will be cooking Christmas dinner again for all of them together this year.
Props to her fiance for being so supportive and not minding her being so close with her ex husband. Most people (including myself) won't be able to digest it.
@@Icebluegel11 it's pretty normal nowadays. Normally you were with that person because you liked them as a friend. The romantic part being done doesn't mean the friendship disappears.
I guess it depends on the situation.. in this case it is obvious that they were close friends before then realized that their relationship isn’t romantic and isn’t meant to be.. in a situation like this I wouldn’t mind my husband being friends with that kind of ex
Because it would be one thing to have dated the person briefly and realized you aren't attracted to each other....but these two were actually married so clearly there was attraction.
Undefined D Maybe initially. Sometimes people fall out of love and realize they’re not good for one another in a romantic sense. Sometimes it takes a few months of dating, sometimes it takes years of marriage. People grow and change and they don’t always grow and change together.
Ok, I'd be weirded out about having my ex husband and his wife there... But everyone is different, so if they're happy, then good for them! They seem quite close and supportive.
My dad helped my mom find a dress for her ceremony when she married my stepdad, some people are better friends than lovers. It took them years to realize they can still be friends!
Selene Personally, I don’t think I could have an ex husband be there either, but it’s kind of nice that they’ve retained nice friendship. There’s a women I work with who is divorced from her ex and they still have an amazing friendship. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, he still did his best to support her (she’s in remission now!) The way she used to put their relationship was that even though they couldn’t make things work out romantically, they were still each other’s best friend. They still carpool together to work and hang out. I don’t think I could ever have a friendship with my ex after divorce, but it’s nice to see the more “sweet” side to divorce. I’m used to seeing people being spiteful to one another.
Selene I understand that. And your right people do see it differently, like my mom and dad split a few month before I was born but for as long as I’ve been alive there been friends
I'm surprised no one is talking about how supportive the other Tracey (the 'new wife') was throughout the entire consultation. She didn't even raise an eye to how her husband is so close with her. More people need to be like them!
[ Origin of the wedding cake ] The cake is an important symbol of marriage. Its presence is part of a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, it was customary for guests to break a cake or a loaf of bread on the head of the bride and groom as a token of happiness and fertility. The guests had to stack small cakes to form an attractive tower. The higher the structure was, the happier the wedding would be!
Hand-sewn, gorgeous deep red roses to match the wedding theme even as the consultation was on-going?! That is the epitome of customer service and adding the personal touch!!
I can't speak for the UK, but I know of some wedding boutiques here in the US make all kinds of things like this in advance. They keep them on hand because they know that there people who like the idea of adding things like flower to the dresses.
I love the idea of the red roses being added but something about that placement wasn't working at all. Hope they showed her some more options for that!
When I heard ex husband and new wife, I was thoroughly expecting drama but nope, I got nothing but love. Weird seeing people respect each other like that. Wish I liked any of my ex's LOL 😂
My ex is my best friend....3 months back he got married and I have a boyfriend for 2 yrs and still nothing has changed between us bcz now I realize we were meant to be best friends...he is one of the best person I have ever meet and he brought me back from my depression due to which I got close to him but when I started becoming normal I realized we don't really have romantic feelings for each other...I straightaway told him I don't want to lose a friend like him but we aren't meant to be togeas a couple..it worked and now both are happy bcz he too has got really sweet and mature wife like he needed and I have got a boyfriend like I needed
@@Phoenix.219 can you explain it more briefly? Like what's the difference between "romantic connection" and "friendship connection"?? Is it more sex related?? Please help me before I step into the relationship world....I've always thought I would date the person who seems more like a friend to me......what's the difference?? The female friends I've had in my life were mature, supportive most of the time. what's wrong with dating a guy like that??.......
@@minoriruba1828 there's nothing wrong about it. You get to decide what type of relationship feels right to you. My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years and we're also mates to each other. There's no jealousy involved, we goof around alot and talk about absolutely everything. Other people often say they find our relationship a little weird, but it works for us. I love him more than anything else and even if we would break up one day I know that we'd still be there for each other. There's no universal definition for romantic relationships. The only thing that matters is to know what you want and to find a partner who's needs fit yours.
My parents got divorced fifteen years ago and even though it wasn't easy for them in the beginning, they are now at a point where they invite each other to their birthdays, celebrate christmas together with the whole family etc. My mom and stepmom actually get along super well. I am so, so thankful for this whole situation 😊
Reading the comments making me realize this is way more common than people think. My dad didn’t get along with his ex wife right after the divorce but they’ve had a pretty normal relationship for years now. Makes life a lot easier for my sister and her kids
Lily yyy sighs yep same........it’s not great....it’s good for parents to have a good relationship even if they’re divorced, especially if they have kids, it affects them
Aawww I'm so glad to hear you've got a happy family! I truly wish for everyone whom have divorced parents can get as blessed and lucky as you one day. 😊
"Are there any tracys safe in the world " 😂 Gok❤️ Most ppl can rarely be themselves around exes and wow they r really different 😅 No expected awkwardness!
I think the flowers are beautiful however the placement could be better. Adding volume to someone at the waist is odd. She wants color, why not a blush dress? Then fold the roses into the train. But now I think of her budget, maybe all that they have in her range is white dresses, so color is out.
I don't think she was entirely happy with the placement either! she even said "maybe" when they asked her "are you saying yes". it seemed like a lot of pressure for her because they were trimming roses specifically for her!
I thought you wrote "her FACE is funny too" and I was like yeah she does have a weird looking face, huge nose, no lips, no cheekbones, no jawline, then I realized it said 'fiance' lol I'm so mean haha
Her ex is so sweet!! 4:20 "It just shows the change in personality and how much she's changed as a person herself" 😭😭😭 it's just so nice to see two people who even if they know they're not right for each other, truly care about each other's happiness
I love the relationship between her and the ex. It's beautiful to realize you're not right for eachother but still value your friendship so much. And for the new husband to respect that is just phenomenal. The way the ex described how the dress shows her transformation as a person was really touching.
This is how my parents are with my Dad's previous partner and Husband. They've had this great relationship throughout my whole life and I literally cannot imagine life any other way
My parents are divorced and they usually fight when they come together, so when I read that the ex-husband was joining the bridge, I was at first very concerned. However, the ex-husband just blew me away with how kind and supportive he was. I wish all ex couples could still be friends. Or at least friendly like the bride and her ex-husband are.
As someone still close friends with my ex spouse, it’s heartwarming to see this reflected in tv shows. So many people told us we shouldn’t remain friends but that’s just such an old fashioned way of viewing breakups/divorce.
I tough out through all the bridezilla, entourage and family drama so I can find folks like the ones in this video. The bride's fiancé is very sweet and her ex-husband is so supportive. It's nice to see separated couples still have strong friendships and handle it maturely :^) His second wife also being named Tracy killed me tho lmao
I love that dress on her! It gave her a really nice shape and she looks stunning in it because of the beautiful smile she had when they put the petals on. Is really nice that she have a healthy relationship with her ex partner and his partner. For me is not wierd is lovely, if people that end up in a good term they should be like that. More friendships and love to this world.
I love the dresses in this version as well as the people. Gok is an amazing stylist❣️❣️ so much better than the other versions where the same dress is seen again and again
Shit, I don't even know this woman, I've seen a lot of these episodes before, and yet, I felt like crying when they added the roses and she saw herself. She looks stunning!
Okay, why are people weirded out about the exes being at the appointment? They're mature adults and everyone gets along swimmingly. Even the new fiance and the ex husband get along, as the ex was there as the "voice of reason" for the future groom! I mean, you can't get any better than that. What we are seeing here are mature, supportive and caring ADULTS, which is something that's so rare nowadays so it's weird to see. How fucking sad is that?!
@rando Because people are different and can communicate with their exes as they damn well please. You not contacting your exes are what works FOR YOU. Clearly the opposite works for these people and for many other people, and since this video is about them, that's all that matters.
@@rhochae It's not odd at all. Some people make terrible spouses but excellent friends. Again, the ex, the new wife AND the new fiance are all cool with each other...I can only imagine the relief!
@@undefinedd1147 how cute trying to talk down to someone else, "hunny". Again, something like this is so rare that people don't know how to respond when they see it and y'all are Prime examples. And yes, it DOES make them mature adults. You don't like it? Oh well!🤷🏾♂️😆
4:48 I love how instead of just throwing a veil on her head and making her cry in the moment Gok actually looked for another option that would really make her feel like a bride
That's lovely that someone can break up and still be together as friends. Since they are mature and over each other that's actually kinda nice. I respect that. Cause they both moved on and that's kind something people do over being bitter
I love that some people in the world still support each other after separation ( trust me I grew up with divorced parents who hated each other’s guts so this is a good change)
I love Gok so much......... I want to see more of him! I've known a couple of 'couples', who divorced but still hang out and have gotten remarried and STILL hang out. The husbands golf together and wives shop and dine together. It's fantastic for the kids involved.
The ex husband and the new wife?? This some new level friendship shit but I’m here for it. I’m all for keeping friends if they’re real. What great people🤧
That funny little open mouthed snicker she made when she realized how much she liked the flowers warmed my heart. She Looked and sounded just like my older sister I lost 4 years ago ❤️❤️❤️
@@shannonravensbergen8206 ok, so I am not crazy. I thought the back looked a bit different, but that may have been the lacing. Usually, SYTTD likes to point out the changes in any details, so I thought it odd to not mention it.
My parents divorced but we all still do everything as a family, christmas, vacations/travel, etc. I love when families stay together even when what that means changes over time.
Awe I get so Happy during the video, then an ad comes on that's when I feel my huge smile face muscles fading, (I never smile)THEN that's when I realize how Happy I get seeing others Happy..God Bless Tracy and Tracy and . .
I would have added a red satin belt to the dress just to add more color. Maybe even have a custom made veil with red lace at the edge to tie it all together
No drama, and a couple that still care for each other after no longer being married. I know that doesn't always happen (and even for good reasons), but it's good to see it here. That dress looked stunning on her. How lovely 🌹❤️
