Cancer Survivor Bride Brings Best Friends To An Emotional Fitting | Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta 

She may not be able to afford the dress but she sure is rich in friends. Lovely woman.

My son has had a girlfriend who saw him through cancer, chemo, etc, and they're getting married next year. She's a keeper.

When the friends helped pay for it, it actually had me tearing up.

This episode isn't about the dress, but about the circle of friends and their love for the bride. Love it! She looked gorgeous in all the dresses. ❤️

Are we just going to blow past the fact that’s she’s 36?!?! Her skin is incredible, she looks like she’s 22.

She hit the jackpot when she became friends with those ladies. We should all be so lucky to have friends like that.

Watching her cry made me cry🤧❤ She's a cancer survivor and I love how her friends all stood by her side when she was fighting cancer and all decided to pitch in to help pay for the dress when it was a little over budget. That's what friends are for❤

Her friends are so sweet 😭 Friend 1: "I will pay the difference" Friend 2: "I was gonna say the same thing! Lets do it!" Bride: "No..😢" ak (you guys don't have too) Friend 1: "Idc, you aint leaving here without that dress 😤"

Finally a bride with REAL friends

So heartwarming....she has great friends which means she's a great friend too. ❤

I feel like they're the best friends to bring in an appointments like this. Not just because they were willing to pay the difference but they understand that this moment was a blessing to begin with. Some entourage pursue brides to go way over budget without thinking about how it will affect the overall budget of the wedding but this group did what best friends could ever do to make the special day much more special.

I’m a breast cancer survivor and this made me cry. What great friend!

I was secretly wishing the friends would split the $400 overage among them. How wonderful they are to do so. And BTW, the groom is quite handsome :) and a real man for supporting Joya through this ordeal.

my goal in life is to have friends like that. Blessed group of ladies here.

What do you want more when you have so many supportive people in your life.

They are truly great friends that are compassionate, loving and “ride or die”.

I'm a survivor as well. How incredible that they all cut their hair for her!!

Warms my heart. I lost my 33 year old daughter to cervical cancer almost a year ago... never married... this truly makes me so happy....

I am a lung cancer patient myself undergoing chemo and soon to be doing radiation. This makes my heart soar. Thank you for helping this patient. God bless.

FINALLY! An episode where the entourage is supportive and full of beautifully hearted people.

I'm getting married in December and my bff made it known to me that she's purchasing my dress 😭. Tears in my eyes as I type. I'm grateful for her frienship.

The best bridal party I've ever seen or imagined in my life.. She has the greatest friends..this is fairytale friendship ❤️

Her reaction when her friends said they’d pay for the dress was so sweet and humble. Other girls on this show would say, “ok, yeah you pay the difference.” She’s an angel 🥺

The fact that her friends didn’t even bat an eye and offered to help!!! Yup I cried because that’s what she deserves after all she’s been through is happiness ❤️❤️ we should all be so lucky to have friends like hers👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

This reminds me of when I was younger, a friend of mine helped pitch in for a prom dress I wouldn't have been able to afford because it was gorgeous and the only one that really fit who I was but I had a tiny budget. It's such a heartwarming thing to have friends that will help you through thick and thin and want you to be as happy as they can help make you.

Was crying at just the intro.. cutting their hair and by her side through everything.. true ride or die sisterhood ♥️

Man, I started bawling when her friends were willing to cover the difference. I think anyone who loved her and could pitch in would. That's what you do for those you love, but still, it meant so much. What a beautiful end.

Those aren't just friends, they are family 💞

That dress looks stunning on her, so elegant. Her friends are so kind and loving and with everything she has been through they want her to be happy. These are true friends

With friends like these she is so rich No amount of money can buy that sisterhood Looks absolutely beautiful in that dress Wishing her all the best 💕

finally, a bride who has an amazing group of people helping her search for a dress, so happy for her

This group is my all time favorite group I have seen on this series. That’s real love, real friendship, real support. 🥰

What wonderful friends she have offering to help her buy her dream gown. So much love. And that one determined friend that had made her mind up to pay the difference. You could tell she was not going to budge. What a wonderful person.

She has wonderful friends who love her very much. If only we could have seen her walk down the aisle in her beautiful dress.

This girl deserves her beautiful dress and I'm glad that her friends love her so much that they won't let her leave the store without it

I almost cried when her friends offered to split the difference on her dream dress

Now those are good friends, through and through. They have her back 100% ❤️

Usually Lori lowers the price for cancer survivor as she is one herself, I’m kinda surprise she didn’t do it this time. Maybe this is filmed before Lori’s diagnosis?

The fact she kept saying "I do", when she wore that dress, really means so much more. It's the literally the dress she is going to wear for her one and final "I DO!"

This episode must be before Lori’s cancer and since that she’d have so paid the difference herself God bless her

She's such a lady.... I'm glad 2c friends step up to pay the difference. That can be their wedding gift.🎁

You won the friendship lottery!😌

THATS how friends are supposed to step in and be there for the bride... Not like some of these crazy chicks you see making the bride try stuff thats double the budget and expecting someone else to pay... This was a great episode =)

Sweetest bride this show has ever had. She looks beautiful. I hope she lives long and prospers.

True friendship. She is so lucky to have them around.

First few seconds and i am bawling. Its hard to get such amazing friends in today's world. I must say she is the richest woman in my eyes.

Those ladies are so elegant and well-educated.... I love them.

The definition of a true love for your girlfriend!

I feel like the staff tried to paint the friends in a bad picture. But they were supportive, helpful friends

What a heartwarming episode. Bless her, and her supportive friends!

I’ve watched sooo many of these episodes with my mum and this has to be The Best One, because it’s such a beautiful story of amazing friendship. They knew they had to make her dream come true for their friend. I would do the same thing for my Bestie.

I am glad she beat the hell out of cancer,and now she able to live life an encourage other women who's battling that awful disease. ❤💟🧡

Thank goodness for heartfelt friends. Even though it wasn't that much over budget I would have paid the difference too. This dress was made for her. She'll look amazing walking down the aisle.

Wow when they showed the photos of the bride and her groom... oh my. Beautiful couple! Beautiful friends! Just Beautiful ♥ God bless everybody!

Now that's a real family. The bride looks beautiful.

This is my favorite episode ever. Beautiful bride blessed with wonderful friends making magic happen.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God has blessed her with some wonderful and true friends. I’m so happy that you have overcome your breast cancer. I pray you have a long and a joyful life.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

She is BEAUTIFUL. she attracts beautiful ppl to her, inside and out. This is a great episode! This is my favorite episode! Thank you for sharing this moment.

That's what good friends are for. Wonderful episode.

This may be the most wholesome episode of Atlanta so far!

She has a beautiful circle of friends. My question is that Lori has given dresses away to cancer survivor, went to the hospital to have on a young lady to try on dresses, etc. Why did this have to be different?

This was the most heartwarming episode of SYTTD I’ve ever seen. I love the fact that the bride’s friends are so supportive and caring about her dress decision. Those are some great friends.

God bless her friends for sticking with her and helping. May the beautiful bride live a long and happy life!

What sweet friends. :) I'm so glad she got the dress she wanted. She looks beautiful. :)

Beautiful, sweet and humble bride with some truly great friends.

Melted my heart - what a wonderful episode! The bride must be a wonderful person to have such great friends.

This was so amazing. The bride was beautiful. But her friends were her Angel's. Wow oh wow.

I knew they were going to do that. Lord. It made me so emotional. Such a beautiful episode. May God continue to cover and keep them in the mighty name of Jesus.

This bride is lucky to have so very much love, in her life. Her friends love her a lot. That was a huge show of love to help pay for her dress.

This made me cry. To have such caring and wonderful friends like that is truly amazing.

She must be a wonderful young lady to have such wonderful, giving friends.

Joya's true wealth is in her friends. 💖

Bride is a warrior for surviving cancer. On top of that she is sweet and cute. She look perfect in her wedding dress. I am glad she has such an amazing group of friends. Her friends are honest and generos!

OMG I am in tears what amazing friends she has..

This melt my heart. I think she is a good friend, so she deserves to have the loves from her friends

Joya really is a Joy to be around. I love her friends, they are all so loving and caring ❤ This is awesome 👌 👏 😍

I just cried so much at the end. Sweet bride. Caring friends.

Dem friends are too precious ❤️❤️❤️ had me tearing up but their friend and her happiness also means the world to them and you just can't beat that❤️❤️❤️

I'm not crying-you're crying! Such a beautiful woman. All the best!💐

This is just so sweet. I lost my aunt and cousin to cancer. Joya is lucky to have amazing friends who would do something so sweet that will make her the bride that she wanted.

She deserves it!! She looks beautiful!! So pretty and so happy she's cancer free.....praise the Lord!!! Friends forever!!!! 💙✝️🙌🏻

The quick look when she said I'll lay the difference, simply amazing!!!!! You're not leaving with out the dress so idk why were talking about it... = GOLD!

When the friends started offering to pay the difference I thought of my own group of friends and how we would do the same for any of our friends and then started getting even more emotional

They are really friends! I watched many episodes where friends treat the bride, when they left the bride and checked their dresses. It’s a really luck to have these friends who can support you in good and bad times.

What good friends. She deserves it!

Ok I’m crying with Joy and her friends. Kind of burned my nose a little trying to hold back tears 😂

A wonderful group of friends. She must be pretty incredible for them to not even bat an eye and help pay for the dress. I hope that her wedding was exactly as she envisioned. Wishing her health and happiness

I love her friends! This is the nicest large entourage I've seen on one of these shows!

I literally teared up when she started saying no no no no , those friends are keepers for sure !

God, Sister Love Is Real. Thank You All For Being There For Her.

I just love this family. That’s what they are they are way beyond friends. Aside from the paying for the difference of the dress but the cutting of the hair and the way they talk about her. Just extremely loyal, loving & supportive 🥲

This is the kind of wonderful friend with a good heart who doesn’t want to impinge on others but if the table had been turned, she would have been the first person to offer to pitch in and to pay the difference in the price of the dress. I get the impression that she completely deserves these precious friends that she has. #TearJackingMoment #RefreshingToWatchThis

I lost my mother to Lung Cancer, as well as her mother, all of my Nana's sisters... which kills so many more people than Breast Cancer but gets a ton less hype, and a ton less research (I guess pink is more trendy than white). It frustrates me to no end, but I'm all about support, so I do awareness events for both when I can. I noticed that this video came out on 8/31, which is my Mom's birthday...and that's when I flat out lost it and started bawling.

Those friends are priceless. That’s beautiful. The dress looks beautiful on her.

This bride is so sweet and humble and her girls are the best!!!!!

These are true friends. God bless this union. Continued good health. Be blessed.

That’s exactly what I would expect her friends would do for her! They could all pitch in to make her dreams come true and it wouldn’t break the bank. I would’ve been surprised if they didn’t offer to cover the difference since they were there for her through her illness. They’re real friends!

I'm so happy to see how blessed you are to have such good friends.

I'm glad her friends came through🥰. It says so much about their character

Her girl squad is so lovely. I would have done the same. I can eat Ramen and salad for a while, my girl is getting her dress!
