Monte & Lori get on the road to surprise a bride who didn't have time to buy a wedding dress as she was dealing with the loss of her young son. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 140, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
He felt bad that her special day would’ve been postponed because of him. They went ahead with it so that he could be proud he wasn’t what stopped her. They said he’s always with them so he’ll get to attend that wsy
"He was very sad when they had to cancel the wedding, he was saying 'its my fault because I got sick again'..." Noooooo 😥 it wasn't your fault dear, it was that piece of sh* t cancers fault!
I don't think Monty could get any other words out! He really was teared up, as they all were. She did look stunning - but she would have been stunning in anything - she was one shining lady :-)
I know like I’m not a parent I’m 17 but I know someone who has lost a child who was very sick most of his life but if I was a parent and that was me I would probably scream and cry and not leave the house for days but this is woman is very strong and I’m sending her lots of prayers and hope she has a lot of happiness in the world 💖❤️
OMG I just realized she is the mom who photoshopped her son into her wedding photos 😭 it’s called Why this family included son in wedding photo months after he died by insider edition
Dresamae i have cancer and an organ transplant, and i was diagnosed at 11. i’ve always found me blaming myself, because my mom lost her job because of me getting sick. and i just feel so bad about it.
Dresamae I understand why he felt that way , but it’s still heartbreaking to know a child feels guilty for something they simply can’t control. I hope he’s happy in heaven with a front row seat to see his parents getting married 😭🙂
I've been chronically sick since I was 7 years old and it's really hard to not blame yourself for all the things people miss out on because of you, and all the stress and sadness you bring into people's lives
@@OliviaM-hr7vw I've had stomach surgeries for various things since I was born and alive always struggled with feelings of guilt for the worry and Heartache my loved ones have gone through. But in a way it made us all stronger and more grateful for each other so that's what I try to focus on 🙂
Hearing a child say, 'im sorry mama, you cancelled the wedding because of me.' it ain't your fault baby, it is NEVER your fault. And I know that your son is smiling and dancing up in heaven. He is happy and smiling at you. The face dad makes, it made me break down. More then what the young boy said. Omg.. and I'm already sensitive to that. 😭😭😭
My husband and I decided it was more important to have my father there than to have a wedding. He had been put on hospice the day before, so we scrambled and got married in the living room the next day. He passed two days later... which happens to be 3 years today. He hadn’t moved in days, but when they announced us, somehow he found the strength to clap. So bittersweet. Just thought I’d share.
+Your Little Dreamboat- I am so very sorry for your loss, but at least he was there to see you get married. My dad recently passed away earlier this year ( April 2019), and I am not married. It breaks my heart to know that when I do get married some day that he will not be there.
I had the same reaction when my mom bought me a map of my college town. No one knows how to read a map anymore (I say that and someone's gonna comment "I know how to read a map")
"Don't look at the price tags", and then not showing (off) the price to us, the public of their show, says a lot about their really heartfelt generosity. Great bride, great parents, great team Lori and Monte.
Lori and Monte are true angels and seeing how they are so amazing, kind, generous and just beautiful people inside and out, THIS is what makes the show. Yes, the dresses are stunning, but it's the way they are towards others that bring the show into its own.
Super late to this but I actually prefer this to any other wedding dress show and it’s the only one I repeat episodes of because of them. They seem very genuine.
Bringing the dresses to the house was sweet enough, but when Lori said the dress was on her, I burst out crying. First off, her mom arranged this; that right there is a mom who knows her daughter is not in an emotional state to go dress shopping, so arranged for a comfortable setting. And waiting two days before the wedding means that it's not a decision Anna has to go back and forth thinking about. She can just step into the moment and move through at her own pace. Both of her parents are such lovely people, and I can only pray that her wedding was a blessing and stands as a reminder to how much her family loves her, and how much her son wanted this happy day for her.
I know right, my relationship with my father isn’t good all, not to make this my problems but i’ve always wanted my grandfather to walk me down the aisle instead of my dad, unfortunately he just developed cancer and only has 2 months to live. I am currently single so i hope he’ll be there in spirit if i do get married one day
Oh my god! Same! I was tearing up when they were recapping her son’s illness, but then I full-on cried when they said the dress was their gift to her ❤️❤️❤️
Lori has such a beautiful heart. She knows what cancer can make you go through and she always tries to play a part in making someone's journey a little easier. hats off to her!!!
I bawled!! I’m also pregnant with a boy and already have 5 boys and an angel 👼🏻 who the doctor believes was a boy. So it hit me hard!! Congratulations on her wedding and her son is looking down on her from heaven!!
Bababa Banana I would have so picked that dress. I know it’s HER special day and the dress should be her choice but to see her dads reaction, I would have been sold on that dress
My daughter just lost her son, she was 5 months pregnant. I COULDNT IMAGINE having him lived for 9 yrs and then lose him..Still hurts regardless. Her father also has passed and yesterday she sent me a message saying she will never know whats it like to have her father walk her down the isle. This video gives me hope regardless of the fact that her father has passed. Anything is still possible ❤️
i'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you are all doing better and try to live a happy life. I could never imagine losing a baby, but i feel for your daughter, as i lost my father as well 6 years ago. So when the comes, or if it has already come, i hope she will have/had someone to walk her down the aisle and still will/or had a beautiful day ❤ I wish you all the best in life and be always happy with lots of love ❤❤
“There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving” Acts 20:35. What a loving kind gesture. This team is the best. We need people like this more now than ever.
I lost my younger sister two days before my wedding. I never wore my reception dress. Her dresses for my wedding still remain untouched. It's been 2.5yrs since my wedding but i still haven't taken a look at my wedding photo album. No intentions to make anyone sad. Just letting my feelings flow free. Sorry :(
I am so sorry for your loss...I hope she's in a much better place. Don't be sorry for writing this, it takes courage to open up to 'virtual' people you hardly know...take care and bright blessings
W: You are brave. I am glad that people can still share their hearts anywhere, including the Internet. Your wedding must have been the most bittersweet day imaginable. I am so sorry you cannot share your life with your sister. Hopefully one day you will be reunited. In the meanwhile, let your heart fill with what you do have and what you can share. Many blessings to you. I will be praying.
Lori and Monte are beautiful people, the world needs more people like them. God I can’t stop crying for this mother. She deserves all the happiness in the world
The mom looks so tough. Like she still has her guard up and doesn’t want to get her hopes up and let herself be happy. I can see how hard it all was for her. I think that’s why when she cried in the end it’s so moving to see. You can tell she doesn’t let herself cry in public very often.
This is one of the most wholesome episodes of Say Yes to the Dress. I’m sorry for the family’s loss. The son will be smiling down from heaven on their wedding day.
Lori is right, a dress is just a dress, and there are many things far more important. Lori's ability to recognise this, shows me that her heart is exactly in the right place! What a beautiful gift to Anna, who was so desperately looking for a sign that her wedding day needed to happen! I wish Anna and her family all the best. I am very grateful for people like Lori and Monte in this world.
The story about her grandchild really made me cry such a beautiful family it's so sad to lose someone so young. God bless the family and I hope he rest in peace.
OmG! I’m doing a marathon of SYTTD this story made me cry, I‘m so emotional, I just can’t imagine the pain and the loss this family has being. I send blessings to the family...RIP Lake 🙏🏼
When lori said that there were more important things in life than finding the perfect bridal gown, I realised that every job isnt just a job. Sure she was talking abt the professional side of her job, but there are even more sides to it than just that. And I think it's beautiful that something as normal as a dress (tangibly speaking) can hold so much sentimental value, and that it doesnt matter what kind of gift we get becuz the meaning and symbolism are the point of it.
the dads reaction got my crying, i would have worn the full lace dress just for him, but she would look beautiful in anything, cant imagine the pain shes in.
Omg I remember watching this when it aired. This episode prompted me to register as a bone marrow doner. That poor sweet boy had to go through so much. That poor family. Lori and Monty are so wonderful for doing this for her.
Not ever having lost a child, I cannot even imagine... To hear her say that it was okay to be happy...my heart you guys. My heart. God bless this brave woman and touch her and let her know You love her and are caring for Lake until she gets there. Lori and Monty...thank you.
I feel so sorry for this woman. She has to hold it together for her family but that can be so hard, especially as it’s her son, it’s so unfair this happened to her and many other people.
I'm sorry but I find it near to impossible to cry. I broke my arm and didn't cry, my relative died and I was distraught but couldn't cry. I didn't smile either... I think it's safe to say I have a stoe cold heart
This broke my heart and mended it all in one. As a mum who has had two beautiful angels who were born sleeping, with the pain I went through, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like loosing a 9yo beautiful child. She couldn’t be more deserving of this absolutely breathtaking gift. I couldn’t stop the tears of both heartbreak and happiness for all of them. That little boy is sitting up there in those clouds wrapped in the arms of the angels watching his beautiful mumma for filling his dream for her. Thankyou for sharing this, it is by far my most favourite episode ever ♥️♥️
As a mom, my biggest fear is losing my son. He is my literal everything. So things like this always make me cry. I dont think I could even go on in life without my son. I understand she has other kids, so she kind of has to. I'm a single mom and he is the only thing I have to live for. I couldn't imagine the pain
I know how you feel, my daughter is my only child and I don’t think I am able to get pregnant ever again because I have had so many surgeries and problems with my uterus. I am just so thankful for being able to get pregnant and I was a high risk pregnant. I would absolutely be so devastated if anything happened to my child. I don’t think I would be able to function as well, it is seriously my worst fear.
It's not just for her other kid but for him too ... he would want her to live her life and be happy, such an unselfish kid with a good heart..and she deserves to.. and her parents deserve to see their kid live her life... and she is not doing it without him - people you love are always with you which is what makes it ok to move on with your life.. he is one of those who inspire the world around them to be a little better.
I lost my 8 year old son in 2018 to a drunk driver. He is my only child. I keep going FOR him. Its hell, I don't wish on anyone... but you push thru because you KNOW its what your baby would want. This episode made my heart ache for that momma. I dont know the watching him be sick part, but I know that emptiness and almost feeling guilty for being happy. Its ok sweet Anna, lake wants his momma to feel joy.
"There are many more important things in this world than finding a perfect bridal gown." This is how you know it's SYTTD Atlanta, where they put humans first, before budget. Lori and Monte, you are amazing human beings.
My father passed away a year ago and seeing her father cry at how beautiful she looks really made me sob knowing I’ll never have that moment with my dad
I understand your feelings cuz I’m going through the same as yours. Lost my dad just an year ago and to even imagine not having him beside me when I’m getting married is just killing me.
This is such a sad yet beautiful story. I really did cry and I hope they had an amazing wedding knowing that their son, Lake, was there with them in their hearts ♥️
I was crying watching the whole video ..... sooooo emotional rip little fighter and happy married life to you ma’m 🤗😍💐god bless you and your family and hats off monte and Lori such kind souls god bless you too😊🤗
Idk why but seeing her walking up the driveway with just her younger child. Like her other little boy use to be right along with her not too long ago :( strong people. Wish you nothing but happiness
I'll never understand why Americans allow a healthcare system like this. In other wealthy nations, the focus is on healing, not money. And to have those bills after a child has died? How cruel.
it looks like he might have been at st judes and they don't charge for their services they exist on donations alone.so hopefully not suffering from the medical bills too much
She’s a beautiful lady & a complete knockout as well. She looked gorgeous in every single gown. Kudos to Monte & Lori for being so genuinely caring. Those were real tears of empathy that they both shed & I’m glad they could bring a little happiness into her life, especially after losing precious Lake. I’m sure he was there in spirit & he’d be so proud & ecstatic for his mama. Lovely episode! 💕
I am a daughter who has lost my father to cancer so I think when the day comes for my wedding I'm going to feel like her I think that even though he wont physically be there he will be there in spirit.
I normally don't cry very much during shows like this but hearing the story of the bride's son just brings back thoughts of my own mom she was diagnosed with breast cancer about a month ago and my sister is getting married in a month and I'm so happy that my mom will be there to see my sister get married
Please don't forget, when I lovedone passes, they live on within you. Memory is a physical, electrical current. They are within you, and those who loved them, so long as you keep them there, and I mean that literally.
