She seems pretty selfish to me. Very self-involved very I feel sorry for myself. She walks with crutches isn’t she lucky she was walking at all.? And her mother is getting all weepy and everything and he totally ignores her mother and her sister. I don’t think the disability cause that I think she probably was a very cold self-involved person to begin with. And now she has this disability and she’s crying about it. She doesn’t want to fuss so I get a wedding gown at all did she think nobody in the registry office is going to look at her? Yeah I feel sorry for her I feel so much sorry for the people around her
@@celeste7532 “isn’t she lucky to be walking at all” Wait...what? Just because something isn’t a worst case scenario, doesn’t mean it isn’t still hard as hell. Put like this; think of the worst thing that ever happened to you. Now think of something even worse. Sure, you’re going to be glad the second thing didn’t happen to you, but that still doesn’t negate the actual damage that was done by the first, right? Losing a disc in your spine that takes all feeling from your lower body, to the point where you are no longer in control of your limbs, along with a separate stroke, all in the same year, is not a simple or easy thing to recover from. Not physically, mentally or emotionally. For anyone that would be catastrophic because it would upend your life, in multiple ways, very quickly right? I think the fact that she agreed to go on national tv anyway, showing the reality of her physical disability and baring her own very personal insecurities in dealing with it so that other people who identify with her get a chance to see someone like themselves on national tv looking beautiful, is pretty amazing in my opinion. Because I don’t think I would ever leave myself open and vulnerable like that to strangers because i know how easy it is for someone watching to assume something that may not be true. Just my 2 cents.
@@celeste7532 she doesn't seem self invested, the opposite infact. She looks like she didn't have much confidence, wasn't happy and trying her best to make the others around her happy. She wasn't ignoring her family, she was obviously a bit uncomfortable in her own skin, which no-one should be. Also at least she can still walk? Really? There's a stupid narrative in society that people, especially disabled people, always have to be 'strong', but the reality is that it is a disability, that came out of the blue and flipped her whole life upside down. It's okay for her to not be okay. Sure disabled people can and are strong. But let's stop perpetuating the idea that they have to be thankful, happy and 'perfect' 100% of the time. Your rudeness and lack of empathy is quite shocking to me. I hope you can re-educate yourself.
I’m surprised how much I like her hair. It’s looks so good on her and healthy. That might be the reason I’m usually not a fan of extreme colors, the hair itself looks tortured. Not hers.
I noticed that she sounded sad right away... but once she explained what happened I understood... its hard giving up your freedom and having to depend on other people. But she'll definitely find her happiness eventually. She is freaking STUNNNNNiNGGGGG and should model wedding dresses
“My mom sneakily would like something a bit more traditional” That mom is a gem. An angel. So many of these smothers make their daughters feel bad if they don’t pick exactly what mum wants. It’s really understated how important it is to be “sneaky” (quiet) about what your own personal wishes are, and let your children express themselves.
My mom was like this when I came to choose my wedding dress in 2018. I also only went shopping with my mom and sister, who is a little more opinionated. This lovely family reminds me of my dress shopping experience :)
Which is why both times that I married, I just went alone. If no one likes my choice then tough. I paid for it I,m wearing it and everybody loved the dresses.
People spend a fortune going to psychiatrists and psychologists but the ladies at the bridal shop are so compassionate and excellent at supporting and even counseling their brides...they are to be commended. Well done!
@@joannmicik1924 can't tell if it's sarcasm or not, but either way it's true. But I think I got what you mean by saying these ladies are so supportive. It is kinda nice to hear someone who doesn't know you say such kind things.
They have more skills than they realise. Not only do they help the bride with fashion and style they support her emotionally. It also helps us as viewers knowing people out there really care. Kudos to the wonderful angels 😇 😇 in the curvy bride shop x
@@ytreece - I was just about to say that - it's actually a lavender shade. Stunning with the dress! I wish I was brave enough to do something to my hair!
She’s honestly so beautiful. Not only is she physically gorgeous, but strength is one of the most beautiful traits in a person. Maybe her strength shows differently than others, but she is one strong and beautiful woman. I am glad she saw that even for a second. I love this series & it breaks my heart to see these gorgeous women doubt their beauty.
She's legit one of the prettiest brides I've seen on any of these wedding dress shows. I was surprised when she said she's never looked nice bc I thought she was so beautiful even just walking in the door.
I feel for the mother because she doesn't get to attend her daughter's wedding. I know her daughter doesn't want to be in front of a lot of people, but family is different.
I hope her husband provides her the happiness that's been missing her whole life and makes her feel beautiful everyday, she deserves it :< lovely bride
Speaking as someone who has been with my partner for 10 years.....my depression has nothing to do with a surplus or lack of anything he can give to me. He's upset that he can't make me "happy", but he does make me happy. I am depressed regardless of life situation. For me I suspect it's chemical. I am on medicine now and have never felt better! I do hope she finds what works for her🥰
Amber Hess Aw your husband sounds like my SO. It’s heartbreaking to see him so worried and wanting to help but it really being something we have to work on ourselves. Am so glad you’re feeling better and have great support at home. Take care! 🧡
When her mom said it was “strange” I thought she was talking about the black dress and I was like 🙄 instead I was so happy to hear it wasn’t the dress, she just found it so strange to see her daughter in something so pretty and confident
When I saw her in that lovely pink gown, I said, "That's it!" Veil was perfect! Just the right amount of sparkle! I hope she sparkled on her wedding day! Wishing her all the happiness she deserves! A very courageous young woman.
She has had an entire year of crappy things happening to her physically that have left her with physical deficits that will be with her for the rest of her life. That's enough to wear anyone down, no matter how much of a fighter they are. You don't recover mentally and emotionally from a year like that overnight. It takes time to recover, not just physically, but emotionally as well. It seems as if she started out with low confidence even before her physical battles as well. She needs help and I hope she takes steps to find someone who can help her mentally and emotionally to become her best self possible.
I gained about 30 lbs due to anxiety in the past few years, after being super slim, and have been feeling super depressed about it. But I have seen so many full figured women looking absolutely stunning that I no longer feel depressed about my weight gain!
I love it when they say "I've got a waist"... what a beautiful thing to happen for any of us, to see ourselves in a new light and to like ourselves when we've struggled to do so for a long time.
I'm quite confused since what I see is good skin with cute freckles, perfect eyebrows, proportionate body, beautiful eyes and looking classy with a quirky hair colour... I don't know what somebody told her but they were lying.
It's what she told herself after experiencing a stroke and having most of her body fail. Coupled with other life challenges, it's enough to break one emotionally.
@@sarasamaletdin4574 anyone, any age can suffer a stroke, there are documented cases of babies having strokes... A girl I went to school with, an athlete, a health nut - nothing toxic or non-organic ever passed her lips - suffered a major stroke, followed by a grand-mal seizure, at the age of 23...she's been gone 35 years now. Who's to say that her weight gain is not a side effect of her injury and stroke, as she no longer has the same mobility as she had prior...and who's business is it anyway, unless you are her doctor, "it-scott-nunya"...
Jo and Al are two incredible women. Their personalities are so special. I live in California USA and everytime I watch these two women, I grow so fond of them. I'm a 70 year old grandmother. I so wish I could hang out with them. I love the way Jo always has her arm on Al. Such a sweet bond they share. Wish I could be lucky enough to display such confidence. They make a difference in so many brides lives. God Bless them both. 🙏
I loved the black dress on her. She looked so elegant in it. The pink flower appliqué dress was definitely a wild card but it too looked splendid on her. It gave her a bit more color in her skin, which will enhance the glow she’ll have on her wedding day. I’m so happy for her to have found the man and dress she loves.
I wish I could look that good! She should buy the black dress too and find an excuse to wear it ... like to a New Years Eve Party or the like. She can just let her husband hold her close to sway to the music and smooch the new year in. ;)
I just want to give her a hug and tell her how beautiful she is. We as women are so faint hearted. We hardly ever believe in ourselves or think that we’re beautiful.
I really hope she looks into therapy because sometimes it’s not just physical pains after trauma. I’m have gone through living with depression and anxiety and therapy means the world to me.
These ladies heal hearts even through the screen. They talk to every curvy woman and tell us you're gorgeous just the way you are. To the universe, I don't care what size I am, I'm buying my wedding dress from them.
"People just shrug it off like you're still here, you're lucky" If I had a dollar for every time someone told me "it's just rheumatoid arthritis, it isn't like it's cancer, it won't kill you" (um, actually, it probably will) or "you're so lucky you can still walk at all, if I could walk I would no matter how painful it is, why are you using a wheelchair?" (um, did you not hear me say *IT IS PAINFUL* to walk??), I would be a millionaire. I feel this woman's pain with every fiber of my being. To have your pain and struggles shrugged off or downplayed because "others have it worse" is a horrible feeling.
I am 37 now and I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 13 a ton of specialist and therapy and I still live with it. I understand the struggle. I am like her my disk went out years ago and I don't have full feeling in my feet anymore.
I really relate to how she feels. I was diagnosed with 3 completely life changing chronic illnesses this last year and I completely lost all confidence because I have to rely on my partner so much. I can barely walk for 5 minutes so I am totally dependant on him. Our situations are different, but I understand and empathise with the absolute loss of confidence, because when your body fails you it’s really hard to think nicely of it. I’m so looking forward to my wedding but I’m terrified it’ll be hard because of this. She looked absolutely stunning though and I’m glad she got some confidence back. Experiences like this are so important for self esteem, and I’m glad she got that x
Hi there I've got Multiple disabilities and health problems so I understand what you mean unfortunately I lost my Hubs Chris three years ago and he was my Carer and did everything for us both ...much love sent your way and she was stunning in all the Dresses but defo more the Black it's so lovely but I loved the link on her so very much 💜🌈💜
Wishing y'all the best!!! And I totally understand. When my boyfriend and I first got together, I had weight loss surgery. He had to step up and take care of me during the first part of things. He got to see a side of me I wasn't ready for him to see. Buuuuut three years later, we live together, and he supports me (free rent/utilities, use of his truck when my car goes bad) while I'm in school to become a surgeon. Not exactly the same, but I still understand how exhausting it is having to depend on someone you love.
These wonderful ladies do wonders to their brides... I have watched all the bridal videos all over the globe and NO OTHER BRIDAL BOUTIQUE GIVES THEIR LADIES A WAIST!!! Stay blessed Curvy Brides !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
She is so strong, but you can see her struggling with depression. When she said she "It's always that fear that something might happen", it really hit me hard. After having a cancer scare, I was first relieved when the biopsy was benign, then completely thrown back into anxiety when they told me it doesn't match how the tumor looks and that they could only tell after surgery. Having feared for your life takes away that security. Even months after surgery, I still expected the phone to ring and the lab to tell me: We've been mistaken, we found something. I really hope she can recover from this over time.
I'm impressed with how self aware Amy is. Her situation is hard and she's adjusting slowly to it, but a slow acclimation means longer success and stability. I'm so glad she has a good man, a good mom, and now a great dress.
Al and Jo really know their craft and how to make a bride who has issues really feel special and deserving of the best in life. This bride looks gorgeous in this pink dress.
I was so taken with this ladies beauty in the blush dress until you commented on the crutches I never saw them. When you possess inward beauty and have outward beauty nothing, absolutely nothing can take it away or mar it.
These ladies are my heroes... They are so wonderful to everyone and they make EVERYONE feel amazing... I wish I could just meet them and hug them! Keep doing what you do =)
Dude shes literally so pretty, she's absolutely beautiful. Her eyes are gorgeous, on say yes to the dress I see a lot of weird looking eyebrows, but hers are 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡, her hair is beautiful, and her legs and her walk are just as beautiful I hope she is super happy
The thing i love the most is tht, the mother knows and understands her inside out thoroughly... Tht is so rare, bcuz parents love u bt harsh reality thy or we can't make thn understand us or thy can't... 😊
She is beautiful. Sad that she doesn't see it. I love her hair up and away from her face. It shows her beauty and her SKIN. Wow.. I hope this helps her gain confidence and believe in herself.
What a beautiful soul this woman has. She looked stunning in every dress. She picked the right one. And should definitely buy the black one for her 1st year anniversary. Best of luck and cheers for a healthy marriage to the happy couple 💑
Amy is a beautiful girl and she would have looked beautiful in any of the three dresses she tried on. I love them all but am happy she found the one that made her feel so lovely. God bless that dear girl and happy marriage Amy!!
I have a similar back issue. I walk with 2 canes for a few feet when I can but mostly I require a wheelchair. I'm also over weight but am losing that. I've currently lost 125 pounds and still going. My tipping point was when I had an ulser rupture just below where my stomach meets the rest of the digestive system. I was told if I was an hour later to the emergency room then they would have received me as a dead person. That terrified me! I was in the hospital for almost a month and I've been recovering for 6 months with 4 more to go. I started watching this show on here. I love these ladies! It's all their fault that I have fallen in love with the idea of a wedding dress. When I was married we wore our Sunday best but nothing too fancy. I don't own anything fancy. I have just had a couple dresses for holiday or church gatherings. I had never seen myself as someone who could have this luxury because of the weight and the back issues. The more I watch these ladies work with these brides who are so similar to how I felt about myself, the more I can see a vow renewal in my future with a beautiful dress. I've never even allowed myself to consider that before. I've never so much as touched or held a wedding dress to look at it, let alone try one on. I always said I wanted a casual super small wedding. Nothing fancy. That's what we did. Just us, the preacher, and his wife as a witness. Now I really can see a beautiful dress in my future. Thank you for helping ladies like me see that they are beautiful and worthy. Your work is more meaningful than you know. 💗
I loved the dress she chose. It looked great on her and especially with her hair color. It's really nice to see a shop catering to plus size brides and having lots of options. Usually you get one or the other.
What a lovely episode! Such a wonderful bride and such supportive family and consultants! I wish all the best for them and I hope they find the happiness they're looking for
I wish I could have someone like Jo and Al in my life to just HELP me with my wardrobe. I also think that would be a good show for these wonderful women, going in and helping women up their wardrobe to compliment their body types and help give them a more confidence boost!!!! 😊😊😊😊
