Yeah. As a mother myself, I felt it. I almost died when my daughter was born and I think about how much I almost missed so much. Every minute is precious.
Finding out she passed away, makes me so grateful she decided to go to that shop so her family will be able to rewatch this moment and the joy in her face getting to have her dream dress. Thank you Lori for giving her the gift of joy.
So I googled her and yeah she passed away on February 24, 2014 from her cancer. She was still such a beautiful woman and Lori paying for her dress must have made it all the more special for her.
@@blazingblasian4257 If a lot of your family has died of ovarian or breast cancer you may want to think of getting your ovaries and your breast removed.
I love how Lori told her don’t cover up her scars because everyone should be able to see that she was a survivor and how strong she was. I think that gave her a boost of confidence that she didn’t have. An Lori definitely did a beautiful thing but I think she knew from the start that the dress was over the bride budget but because she could relate to her she wanted to make sure that she got the dress of her dreams no matter what even if she had to break her own rules!
I vaguely remember watching this shows years ago, didn't Lori also have breast cancer once? And that's why she could always relate to the women who came in with breast cancer.
I'm a cancer survivor and the scar from my cvc line where chemo and blood transfusions and bags of saline and nutrients were given... every one of those things saved my life. Celebrate the gift of life.
@@eri_noemi1462not sure if it was breast cancer but yes lori did have cancer. she does sweet things like this a lot, like the bride who’s mom was murdered, she bought her dress for her. moments like these warm my heart.
I love how her family wasn’t objecting over any dress. They asked the bride what she wanted and if she liked it or not. Unlike the other episodes, where the families always gave full out heartbreaking feedback. Edit- omg TYSM for all the likes-
@@queenareanna3534 it's because the last thing that the family wants is for her to have to fight through cancer. They realise that it's about her and they recognise how hard the treatment will be and I think that it's really inspiring.
When you’re facing cancer as a family, life is really put into perspective and you don’t fight about the stupid things. You appreciate each day with your loved ones more and realize life is too short to waste on frivolous stuff ❤️ Been through it twice, cancer tried to take my Dad at 72 and unfortunately took my sister at 38 💔 This was a beautiful moment for this family to share.
I honestly wish l didn’t read the comments only to find out this poor young woman passed away. She looked so sweet and beautiful. I didn’t know Lori was a Cancer Survivor, that was an incredibly lovely gesture in lower the price considerably.
I read the comments ahead a time too I'm glad that lady gave it to her on a discount and was sad to hear she passed away rip I hope the time she had being married was a good one and there was much love condolences to her mom
I don’t believe Lori messed up and put her in a gown over her budget. She did it to help a bride with cancer. There is no way she didn’t know the price of the dress, she just likes helping women with cancer since she is a cancer survivor herself. Thank you, Lori
She said it in the episode, she broke her own rule and put her in a gown over her budget, they check them as they grab them, so I think she knew the bride would love that dress and decided then and there to help her with it. It really is so genuine though
@@drea1670 agreed, she knew exactly what she was doing, she was going to help her bride. And she was a beautiful bride who had a beautiful wedding a 2 years with the love of her life before the cancer took her. My heart goes to her family and her new husband.
Such a beautiful gesture. I live in Australia and could not imagine no Free Health Care System. I had cancer quite a few years ago and I think was less than $100 out of pocket over the 5 years just from bits and pieces not covered but I had surgery, reconstruction and ongoing check ups for 5 years. Everyone deserves free health care (well we pay additional tax but I think it is less than 1.5% of our wage)
A friend of mine just lost her battle against cancer. She got married during the pandemic, without everything she dreamed of. Her memorial ended up being in the church that she chose to get married into. Tami, my friend, you are a light now, my angel ❤️
I just love how Lori broke her own rule and put this gorgeous bride in a dress that was over budget. The dress that was chosen was the perfect dress for this sweet bride. I am so sad that she passed away. Lori is such a kind person.
The most heartbreaking thing about this is she passed away 2 years later :( she was just gorgeous! She fought so long and hard … praying for her family and her husband who was left behind sending my condolences I can only imagine the pain your going through even years later. Rip meridith 🤍
@@leahbyrne3006 yeah she did unfortunately, I looked her name up after seeing this and she didn’t make it. She fought long and hard though , now she is at peace ❤️
She is such a bright and inspiring soul. You can tell that she didn't let cancer stop her from living her life to the fullest. Unfortunately, she passed away on February 24, aged 26. RIP sweetheart ♥️.
can i say this family is one of the loveliest on this show? I've binged quite a few episodes and I've seen so terrible mothers who mocks their daughters and made them feel horrible. The mom here is precious, no matter what dress her daughter tried, you can see her eyes full of love and admiration for her. ♡︎
Illness has a way of making you realize what is important in life and what isn't. It makes me so happy that she had this great moment together with her family.
I didn't know Lori was a cancer survivor!! Bond from one survivor (ovarian/uterine) 6 yrs cancer free! Here's to all of us survivors! I hope to find love and get to say yes one day!
Cancer sucks! I'm lucky to not have had it but it's obliterated nearly everyone on my Dad's side of the family, which scares me. I wish it didn't exist.
Tina I’m so happy to hear from you. I lost my mom to breast cancer and a friend to ovarian cancer when she was just 24. Crazy as it is, I was just thinking about her, the time we had together and her how her daughter is and has been since her passing, about 15 minutes prior to seeing this video. I’m always amazed at how Yahweh works!!! Thank you for your testimony!
I’m the same way, my mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2016. I know how tough it was for her and our family. I’m so lucky that she came into remission.
I’m so glad your mother recovered! My mom had breast cancer and brain cancer she fought for 5years, I hardly remember her being healthy and she passed in 2018, it’s a horrible horrible thing to watch a loved one go through, love your momma always!
Lori didn’t give back in a small way. She helped this beautiful bride find her dream dress and she helped pay for it. She did so much more than just a little good.
I’m in Canada and I cannot imagine having to budget a wedding dress around cancer treatment costs. That is so dismaying. Seeing some of the bridezillas on past shows, this family deserves prayers and hugs. Wish you could do a follow up of the wedding itself.
I'm Australian and I agree. I wish Americans would understand that they deserve free healthcare. My mum died of cancer 18 months ago, and not having to budget around medical costs and to focus on getting better, even though she passed, is the only way to do it.
@@pippiecarr9378 Exactly. it's so terrifying to see people think they deserve that. Earlier this week, someone I know who lives in America was talking about how he was afraid he had cancer, as for the past several months his lymph nodes had been growing larger and larger, and he was starting to feel very tired, and itchy, and overall sick. But he was afraid to get checked out because of the costs of getting tested and then being told he was going to have to get medical treatment that would bankrupt him for the rest of his life. He was like I'd rather just die in my sleep than have to think about that. Like he isn't even scared of cancer - he's scared of the money and what it could do to his family. Damn.
That was a comment that I've never heard before but I felt the same at this time with the sress of that dam virus I think slots are feeling rock bottom and this made me feel so sad mind you she did look beautiful keep safex
Crying to the episode. Crying to learn she passed away in 2014 from her battle. Bawling that her obituary photo was her bridal photo in this dress. Gonna lay down for a bit now. Enough emotions for one day.
I lost my mother to cancer in 2016. Lori's gift made me cry. I'm a 6' 5" tall guy, but a heart of gold. I owe my compassion to my mother. I am so grateful that she was such a giving heart. Thank you Lori for helping this beautiful bride and her family, your choice was my favorite pick too.
I'm so glad Merideth was able to marry the love of her life in her beautiful gown. Her story is a tragedy. What's worse is finding out she was one of over 2 dozen young men and women clustered in a small geographic area with ocular melanoma. I hope those families eventually get the answers they deserve. Thank you for sharing her story.
ocular melanoma? That can be beat if caught early but they must have not caught it early cause also read it is one of the cancers that ahrd to detect early.
@@johnnyboogalo4897 It's been awhile since I researched this story, but as I remember ocular melanoma is one of the rarer types of cancer. Because there were over 2 dozen cases in a small geographical area, they were looking into possible causes for the cluster of cases...toxicity, exposure to chemicals, etc.
@@playinatlife5778 Reminds me a lot of Erin Brockovich, like there's a small community that got exposed to something toxic, and the young people paid the price. Poor Meredith. I hope someone investigated.
She can literally get any dress and her mom and sister are going to be in awe because it is that much of a blessing to see this beautiful girl get married after all she has been through. What a warrior she is. She looks stunning in everything, yes.
I bawled all the way through this. Th pain in her mother's eyes, and she's trying so hard to cover it. My heart just hurt that this young lady was going through something so awful.
@@powelljohn1856 just so you know, the photo is ten years old. I don't look greatly different, I just look a bit more tired! I don't know how we would become friends on you tube, but I'm happy to, if you'd like.
You can tell Lori does this for more than just profit. She genuinely cares about making the brides happy and giving them their dream dresses. Lori is a real angel sent from God.
Congratulations Lori for beating this vicious disease, and you're a true blessing to this young lady, what a wonderful gift you gave her. I hope she has a successful treatment and wedding
Meredith Legg Stapleton, the all-time leading scorer in USC Aiken women's basketball history, died Monday after a long battle with cancer. She was 26.... she died 2014 February | oh my gosh she was so beautiful and cheerful and her husband was waiting for her to get well so they can have a future....
@@brendadickson8871 It is true. Someone posted the link to her obituary in the above comments! She was an awesome lady, who achieved many great things in her short time on earth. May she RIP!
Watching her mother and sister tear up looking at their baby girl in her wedding dress got me going as well. Cancer is a horrible horrible disease and I do not understand how it has not found a cure. Rest in paradise Meredith; you were too perfect for this horrible world.
They already found something for cancer but the medical Industry doesnt give it free cuz they would loose a lot of money in pills etc. Its all about the money, so sad:// a Professor from the pharm industry told me about while i made him a passport. Evil World! ://
The way the mom was crying at the first dress 😢😢 you just know it wasn’t JUST about the dress 😞 It’s about her baby getting married, it’s about her daughter having cancer, it’s about her fear of what’s to come and will get daughter recover and she probably was also thinking about how it was strapless and how her scar would show if she kept it “as is”. Probably a LOT of different emotions happening all at once. I couldn’t imagine
I have seen alot of these "yes to the dress" videos, but this is the first one that I have actually commented on. The fact that the store owner sold her this dress at below cost really was a beautiful gesture of emotional kindness. I think that she looks lovely. I had another comment that I was going to use for the end of this post, but then I read a comment following mine concerning her passing away. I truly hope that she got to get married in this beautiful gown before passing away. I am so very sorry to hear this very sad news.
her mom's reaction at 6:53 and 7:12- 7:15 made me cry. It just made me realize how much she loves and will miss seeing her daughter like this....happy and full of life........rest in peace Meredith....you were a really beautiful woman and will always be.
I wish all mums had the same reactions that both her mother and mother in law had. They looked at her with such adoration and love. And even when she said she doesn't like the one her mum picked her Mum was like, well okay I respect that, she to,d her daughter she looked beautiful but also respected the fact that she didn't like it. And when she came out in the dress SHE loved her Mum was over the moon, smiling and crying because she saw her baby happy and smiling. Mums and Dads, your daughter's opinion matters the most when it comes to her wedding day.
Its really sad looking back at this day that was so dear to her, and all the while knowing that she didn't make it. If you didn't know, she unfortunately passed away from her cancer. But thankfully, she was able to get married to her husband before it happened. Lori made the right decision by giving her that last gift, because it made her so so happy.
I love Lori and Monte. They are two of the sweetest people I've ever seen. I'd love to go to Kleinfeld's just so I soak in some of that kindness. We need more people like Lori and Monte.
Last year I went to Atlanta with my daughter (we live in Germany) to visit my au pair family (1989-1990). My host mother took us to bridal by Lori because my daughter requested it. Sadly Lori and Monti weren't there, but ... all the ladies in the store were just lovely. We were allowed to walk around by ourselves and took lots of pictures. It was lovely! ❤
I applaud both Lori for her generous gift and Robin for choosing to show her scars to the world that she fought the fight. My scars have said exactly that for over 3yrs now and never a day goes by without me being ever grateful. I wish this beautiful bride a long, happy and healthy life.
@@jeannesbitt1627 No need to apologize, you wished for something beautiful for her. Even if it didn't come true, you were moved and you wanted this young lady to be happy. You have a lovely heart.
I found out she died Lori payed a great tribute by lowering that low and having her have that feeling of bridal was so beautiful may she rest in peace 😪😇
I love the Mom and sister - they're so supportive and happy - some of the Moms are so weird and negative, and it's beautiful to see this family so full of joy for her!
Such a heartwarming episode but so sad to hear that she passed away 16 months after her wedding. In her obituary she was featured wearing the wedding dress . So tragic. 😭
I am in TEARS!! She looks stunning in the gown! Lori was right! Rock that scar because, like me (I'm battling breast cancer) we are #strongerthancancer
Dearest Lori, this video out of so many hit home. I just went through stage 4 cancer. You are so right it just wipes your whole body and mind. What you did for that young lady I can tell you meant the world to her and her whole family. I had some ladies help me with giving me so clothing cause the cost of the chemo meds were so high. I very sad to hear the young lady lost her battle but the smile you put on her face and that of her family will live on forever. Bless you Lori and I pray for her family to remember her bright light. 🌹🌈🌟
Ufcourse Lori is a sweetheart ......but we should also appreciate her fiance bcoz even though he knew that she is not gonna survive for a long time but still he chose her as her soulmate......true love exists 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟😊
So far the most ever positive vibes episode of this show. Every other episode I have watched, are like full of negativity, jealousy, judgemental and all. But this one really does show that true and supportive family exist. Love is in the air. Rest in peace to the bride.
So sad to know she died with cancer and fought hard to live. The inspirations she left is remarkable. I'm glad to see her here at least I got to know a great lady like her and so sad that she had to leave so early knowing the possibility that she could have accomplished more great things. To Lori, you're such a fighter and a beautiful lady inside and out. Your generosity will forever be appreciated by the bride's family and us, viewers.
Lori you were an angel for this family. That wasn’t a small gesture, it was huge. This episode made me cry like a baby. I hope this bride and her family are doing well
I cry over a lot of things, whether they’re adorable, happy, sad, scary, etc… but I’m sniffling and sobbing over how completely genuine and wonderful this is 🥺😭
This just broke my heart. Reading in the comments that this stunning young lady lost her fight with cancer. My sister is currently fighting a very rare aggressive form of cancer. So this touches very close to home for me. Rest in peace angel
This just broke my heart. I'm so happy she was able to find a dress, and have that experience. Let's not take it for granted. I saw a comment that she ended up passing away.. 💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ok this was so beautiful to watch and I even cried but why is no one talking about how her dress has POCKETS!!! Like what I want a dress with pockets lol 😂
I wear my scars proudly because they mean I was not a slave to cancer. I’m so sad to read Meredith succumbed to her disease but I’m sure she left and indelible mark on this world. Thank you Lori for using what was ugly in your past to bring beauty to others. BC Survivor for 14 yrs.
When the mother started crying I felt like she was seeing her daughters whole life flash before her eyes- That got me teary
Alright this comment made me cry...
Especially knowing she passed away less than 2 years later...remember to love others and yourself.
Yeah. As a mother myself, I felt it. I almost died when my daughter was born and I think about how much I almost missed so much. Every minute is precious.
@@apoetsmile3956 the bride died ?:(
It made me think of that one moment in mama Mia where Donna sings slipping through my fingers
You can't fake Robin's reaction. She was surprised AF at Lori's generosity. That's not scripted.
Lori is a sweetheart.
Right! So awesome
@@t2theloo I can't believe she passed away. Cancer is so horrible. 😢What she did was awesome.
@@Amanda--- omgg..no waaay 😭😭😭😭

Finding out she passed away, makes me so grateful she decided to go to that shop so her family will be able to rewatch this moment and the joy in her face getting to have her dream dress. Thank you Lori for giving her the gift of joy.
Oh, my! Guess I should FF before I comment. Condolences to the family
Omg ....really ...thts so sad to know.
So sad😥
Wow. That's sad. I'm so lucky to have 4 daughters and so far they are all still here with me. I can't imagine that mom's heartache.
Today is her 8th anniversary of her death 24th of February
So I googled her and yeah she passed away on February 24, 2014 from her cancer. She was still such a beautiful woman and Lori paying for her dress must have made it all the more special for her.
Omg
Awwwwww! May she Rest In Peace and may her family always keep this moment right here close to their hearts always. 😢😢💖💖
Omg noooo now I’m crying more 😭😭
Mah she rest in peace.
omg that's my birthday, I'll make sure ti remember her!
“If I can give back in some small way..” Ma’am, What you did isn’t small.. it meant the world to this beautiful family
She is beautiful, I was crying God bless her family
I cried.
That was so nice. Always do more for someone. It makes them feel good. It makes you feel good ☮️
I absolutely love Laurie for doing that
Lori is a blessing straight from heaven the only thing that is missing is her halo and wings😇
Sometimes I wonder if her family comes back to this video just to see her happy in a dress she loved, may this wonderful woman Rest In Peace💐
I really hope they do. Such a beautiful girl. Still being seen and thought of by thousands of people. Her story touched my heart.
I thought the same thing. What a lovely way to remember your daughter/wife/sister
If i were her family I would watch this every day
I don’t get it where did it say she died
@@Ilovebooks31111 It didn't- but she did die of the cancer- if you Google her name you can find the details. It's so sad- bless her.

Yup 😭❤️

My heart, Lori looked like she was going to tear up mentioning how she also had cancer.
I don’t usually cry watching these but when Lori teared up at the end 😭that got me
Well cancer is a brutal think. Most of my family had died pf cancer and it was the roughest thing just watching them wither away slowly

This family is my favorite because they are not pushy like some families on this show are. I love how they ask what the bride thinks.

I didn't know Lori was a cancer survivor!! Bond from one survivor (ovarian/uterine) 6 yrs cancer free! Here's to all of us survivors! I hope to find love and get to say yes one day!
❤❤
Cancer sucks! I'm lucky to not have had it but it's obliterated nearly everyone on my Dad's side of the family, which scares me. I wish it didn't exist.
@TinaJones Lori is a breast cancer 🎀 survivor.
Tina I’m so happy to hear from you. I lost my mom to breast cancer and a friend to ovarian cancer when she was just 24. Crazy as it is, I was just thinking about her, the time we had together and her how her daughter is and has been since her passing, about 15 minutes prior to seeing this video. I’m always amazed at how Yahweh works!!! Thank you for your testimony!
Imagine being a bridal consultant. I would probably cry everyday 😂
Me too! 😂😭
Honestly dream job
Same here
Sameeee
Either crying from the beautiful stories or crying from stress the crazy brides/families give you 😂
I don’t think it’s, “Lori’s job,” I think it’s Lori’s heart.👍👏❤️
Beautifully said!
My mother had cancer but luckily she made it it makes me sad that she didn't make it I realize how lucky I was
I’m the same way, my mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2016. I know how tough it was for her and our family. I’m so lucky that she came into remission.
I’m so glad your mother recovered! My mom had breast cancer and brain cancer she fought for 5years, I hardly remember her being healthy and she passed in 2018, it’s a horrible horrible thing to watch a loved one go through, love your momma always!
@Lilian Goad I’m so sorry.
Who didn’t make it?? The bride??? 😭
@@rowannrosie1788 it’s okay! hope your mom is doing great!

When Lori shifted her shoulder pad down and told her to be proud of her scar I started crying
That was a beautiful moment.
Lori didn’t give back in a small way. She helped this beautiful bride find her dream dress and she helped pay for it. She did so much more than just a little good.
lol
I’m in Canada and I cannot imagine having to budget a wedding dress around cancer treatment costs. That is so dismaying. Seeing some of the bridezillas on past shows, this family deserves prayers and hugs. Wish you could do a follow up of the wedding itself.
There’s a link in one of the other comments but she passed away
I'm Australian and I agree. I wish Americans would understand that they deserve free healthcare. My mum died of cancer 18 months ago, and not having to budget around medical costs and to focus on getting better, even though she passed, is the only way to do it.
@@pippiecarr9378 Exactly. it's so terrifying to see people think they deserve that. Earlier this week, someone I know who lives in America was talking about how he was afraid he had cancer, as for the past several months his lymph nodes had been growing larger and larger, and he was starting to feel very tired, and itchy, and overall sick. But he was afraid to get checked out because of the costs of getting tested and then being told he was going to have to get medical treatment that would bankrupt him for the rest of his life. He was like I'd rather just die in my sleep than have to think about that. Like he isn't even scared of cancer - he's scared of the money and what it could do to his family. Damn.
My answer was, move to Canada. You don't deserve a crap system.
@@goodstuff4430 that is so devastating. I’m from Germany and I can’t imagine having to worry about the money when it comes to medical treatment
I'm not crying, I'm cosplaying as a waterfall
I’m a shower 🚿🚿
I’m rain 🌧🌧
I'm a tsunami🌊
I'm a fountain! ⛲
That was a comment that I've never heard before but I felt the same at this time with the sress of that dam virus I think slots are feeling rock bottom and this made me feel so sad mind you she did look beautiful keep safex
Never thought I'd say this, I shouldn't have read the comments.
I am crying a river right now 😭
Crying to the episode.
Crying to learn she passed away in 2014 from her battle.
Bawling that her obituary photo was her bridal photo in this dress.
Gonna lay down for a bit now. Enough emotions for one day.
How do u know she died??
Saw her obituary
Where did you see this information?
Cryss Li How do you know that she died?
I lost my mother to cancer in 2016. Lori's gift made me cry. I'm a 6' 5" tall guy, but a heart of gold. I owe my compassion to my mother. I am so grateful that she was such a giving heart. Thank you Lori for helping this beautiful bride and her family, your choice was my favorite pick too.
May your mother rests in peace !
So sorry about your mom I think she raised a special child God bless you
Oh, please, don't ever lose that heart.
I'm so glad Merideth was able to marry the love of her life in her beautiful gown. Her story is a tragedy. What's worse is finding out she was one of over 2 dozen young men and women clustered in a small geographic area with ocular melanoma. I hope those families eventually get the answers they deserve. Thank you for sharing her story.
ocular melanoma? That can be beat if caught early but they must have not caught it early cause also read it is one of the cancers that ahrd to detect early.
@@johnnyboogalo4897 It's been awhile since I researched this story, but as I remember ocular melanoma is one of the rarer types of cancer. Because there were over 2 dozen cases in a small geographical area, they were looking into possible causes for the cluster of cases...toxicity, exposure to chemicals, etc.
@@playinatlife5778 Reminds me a lot of Erin Brockovich, like there's a small community that got exposed to something toxic, and the young people paid the price. Poor Meredith. I hope someone investigated.
She can literally get any dress and her mom and sister are going to be in awe because it is that much of a blessing to see this beautiful girl get married after all she has been through. What a warrior she is. She looks stunning in everything, yes.
She passed away 2 years after her wedding
Found out she passed away. Rest in peace beautiful angel 👼
I bawled all the way through this. Th pain in her mother's eyes, and she's trying so hard to cover it. My heart just hurt that this young lady was going through something so awful.
🥺🥺
@@powelljohn1856 why wow?
@@powelljohn1856 no, I'm not.
@@powelljohn1856 Ummm. ...why?
@@powelljohn1856 just so you know, the photo is ten years old. I don't look greatly different, I just look a bit more tired!
I don't know how we would become friends on you tube, but I'm happy to, if you'd like.
Her mom's face looks like it contains a prayer in each smile. I hope they are doing OK. I can't imagine losing her. 💔
You can tell Lori does this for more than just profit. She genuinely cares about making the brides happy and giving them their dream dresses. Lori is a real angel sent from God.
Every memory she made on her wedding was because of Lorie. She help get her the dress. And gave a piece of happiness to that beautiful bride.
Congratulations Lori for beating this vicious disease, and you're a true blessing to this young lady, what a wonderful gift you gave her. I hope she has a successful treatment and wedding
Unfortunately she passed away.
Meredith Legg Stapleton, the all-time leading scorer in USC Aiken women's basketball history, died Monday after a long battle with cancer. She was 26.... she died 2014 February | oh my gosh she was so beautiful and cheerful and her husband was waiting for her to get well so they can have a future....
My goodness so sad if its true may her soul rest in perfect peace.😢
@@brendadickson8871 It is true. Someone posted the link to her obituary in the above comments! She was an awesome lady, who achieved many great things in her short time on earth. May she RIP!
@@salina8653 Awww so sad may her soul rest in peace.
Is that the bride who were talking about??
She was beautiful
The fact that she got her dream dress and got married to her high school sweetheart before she died made me cry
Watching her mother and sister tear up looking at their baby girl in her wedding dress got me going as well.
Cancer is a horrible horrible disease and I do not understand how it has not found a cure.
Rest in paradise Meredith; you were too perfect for this horrible world.
They already found something for cancer but the medical Industry doesnt give it free cuz they would loose a lot of money in pills etc. Its all about the money, so sad:// a Professor from the pharm industry told me about while i made him a passport. Evil World! ://
The trouble is there are so many types of cancer.
The way the mom was crying at the first dress 😢😢 you just know it wasn’t JUST about the dress 😞
It’s about her baby getting married, it’s about her daughter having cancer, it’s about her fear of what’s to come and will get daughter recover and she probably was also thinking about how it was strapless and how her scar would show if she kept it “as is”. Probably a LOT of different emotions happening all at once. I couldn’t imagine
Every family that comes with the bride should be like them. Not like the others I watched. 😊😊😊
I have seen alot of these "yes to the dress" videos, but this is the first one that I have actually commented on. The fact that the store owner sold her this dress at below cost really was a beautiful gesture of emotional kindness. I think that she looks lovely. I had another comment that I was going to use for the end of this post, but then I read a comment following mine concerning her passing away. I truly hope that she got to get married in this beautiful gown before passing away. I am so very sorry to hear this very sad news.
She got to marry her love ❤
her mom's reaction at 6:53 and 7:12- 7:15 made me cry. It just made me realize how much she loves and will miss seeing her daughter like this....happy and full of life........rest in peace Meredith....you were a really beautiful woman and will always be.
This is why I like 'Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta' - they seem so genuine
My cousin got her wedding dress from kleinfelds and she had a great experience!! Everyone was super sweet there!
The response that sweet woman got when she came out in her dress, is the only thing that should occur from bridal entourages period!👏🏻🤗👏🏻
I wish all mums had the same reactions that both her mother and mother in law had. They looked at her with such adoration and love. And even when she said she doesn't like the one her mum picked her Mum was like, well okay I respect that, she to,d her daughter she looked beautiful but also respected the fact that she didn't like it. And when she came out in the dress SHE loved her Mum was over the moon, smiling and crying because she saw her baby happy and smiling. Mums and Dads, your daughter's opinion matters the most when it comes to her wedding day.
Its really sad looking back at this day that was so dear to her, and all the while knowing that she didn't make it. If you didn't know, she unfortunately passed away from her cancer. But thankfully, she was able to get married to her husband before it happened. Lori made the right decision by giving her that last gift, because it made her so so happy.
I love Lori and Monte. They are two of the sweetest people I've ever seen. I'd love to go to Kleinfeld's just so I soak in some of that kindness. We need more people like Lori and Monte.
This is filmed in bridal by lori a shop in Atlanta say yes to the dress is filmed in klienfileds in New York
Last year I went to Atlanta with my daughter (we live in Germany) to visit my au pair family (1989-1990). My host mother took us to bridal by Lori because my daughter requested it. Sadly Lori and Monti weren't there, but ... all the ladies in the store were just lovely. We were allowed to walk around by ourselves and took lots of pictures. It was lovely! ❤
I applaud both Lori for her generous gift and Robin for choosing to show her scars to the world that she fought the fight. My scars have said exactly that for over 3yrs now and never a day goes by without me being ever grateful. I wish this beautiful bride a long, happy and healthy life.
I'm so desperately sorry to now read this lovely girl died. I apologise for not realising this before I wrote my comments.
@@jeannesbitt1627 No need to apologize, you wished for something beautiful for her. Even if it didn't come true, you were moved and you wanted this young lady to be happy. You have a lovely heart.
I found out she died
Lori payed a great tribute by lowering that low and having her have that feeling of bridal was so beautiful
may she rest in peace 😪😇
Didn't Lori even say that she would dress the bridal party??? Did I hear it right?

She passed away?😔
Really?!??!??!
@@violane_bora Yes, she got married and lived for two more years
Dearest Lori, this video out of so many hit home. I just went through stage 4 cancer. You are so right it just wipes your whole body and mind. What you did for that young lady I can tell you meant the world to her and her whole family. I had some ladies help me with giving me so clothing cause the cost of the chemo meds were so high. I very sad to hear the young lady lost her battle but the smile you put on her face and that of her family will live on forever. Bless you Lori and I pray for her family to remember her bright light. 🌹🌈🌟
Not scars - trophies. Always trophy. Show it off. Love it. Be happy to be here.
Don’t let it own you.
So well said 💗
Bless her Lori's voice broke talking about giving something back god bless her ♥
She looks gorgeous , I hope and pray Lori that your love translates to personal joy and success. You are such a kind and loving person. One of a kind.
I love how her family hyped her up with every single dress
Ufcourse Lori is a sweetheart ......but we should also appreciate her fiance bcoz even though he knew that she is not gonna survive for a long time but still he chose her as her soulmate......true love exists 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟😊

So far the most ever positive vibes episode of this show. Every other episode I have watched, are like full of negativity, jealousy, judgemental and all. But this one really does show that true and supportive family exist. Love is in the air. Rest in peace to the bride.
Let's talk about how amazing her partner is... He is constantly supporting her ❤
Shouldn’t that be the expectation? I mean it’s great but it should be standard if you love someone.

So sad to know she died with cancer and fought hard to live. The inspirations she left is remarkable. I'm glad to see her here at least I got to know a great lady like her and so sad that she had to leave so early knowing the possibility that she could have accomplished more great things. To Lori, you're such a fighter and a beautiful lady inside and out. Your generosity will forever be appreciated by the bride's family and us, viewers.
Lori you were an angel for this family. That wasn’t a small gesture, it was huge. This episode made me cry like a baby. I hope this bride and her family are doing well
She passes away unfortunately
This is probably the only episode where everyone is happy all the time and likes all the dresses
When she says "You need to be proud of whatevers there" 🥺😭 I got all the feels.
I cry over a lot of things, whether they’re adorable, happy, sad, scary, etc… but I’m sniffling and sobbing over how completely genuine and wonderful this is 🥺😭
Hello how are you doing🕊🕊🕊
I am a adult man. Balling my eyes out. Tf 😭 thx Lori for being so kind
I love her heart. I've lost two people to cancer. I know the pain.
This just broke my heart. Reading in the comments that this stunning young lady lost her fight with cancer. My sister is currently fighting a very rare aggressive form of cancer. So this touches very close to home for me. Rest in peace angel
