I left a comment on klienfeld's episodes about how they could do to expand the sizes in their stock especially considering that bridal sizes run up to six sizes smaller and most women average a size 12 to 16. The responses in the comments were so extremely horrible. People really think that because a bride is a larger size that she doesn't deserve to be happy or beautiful on her wedding day. I just can't say enough to thank Jo and Al for opening up the eyes of so many people to the struggle that so many people go through. They truly are angels and I'm so grateful that there are stores like theirs and I hope that say yes to the dress finds more stores like theirs to tell real stories about real brides beyond size four.
@@angrydonutface7420 bro it's wiiiilllddd. It's kinda like all ableism people really don't understand how easily changes in body shape, capacity, and ability happen to people regardless of who they are. They really think it could never be them. I sincerely hope folks learn to be kinder especially when/if it suddenly affects their/children/family friends. Hopefully sooner.
1 most episodes they show on here are super old, so even if someone of their staff did see it, it wouldn't really matter 2 I have a feeling they simply just do not care. They have plenty of "skinny" brides that they don't need the sales of bigger brides. You'd think with the amount of women they have had and shown that had issues fitting into their stupid dresses, that they would expand their sizes (and maybe they have, like I said those episodes they show us are VERY old. But I doubt it) because they should want everyone to feel comfortable and leave with a dress they love. Not feel embarrassed, can't fit into anything, and either settling or leaving without anything.
No matter how my day has gone, I know that when I watch Jo & Al I'm going to feel good. They always make their brides feel like a million dollars & that whole feeling just carries over to the viewer. Thank you ladies for the fantastic job you do 😊😘
I have a job where I listen to people’s worst day of their lives. After heavy days, I know I can come here and be safe, finish with a smile and feel happy and warm inside! I agree with you 💯
I have to say, I never plan on getting married again; but plans change. As a plus size woman, I'm not going to bother going to kleinfeld's or any of the other bridal store here in the US. I'll spend the money on a plane ticket to England so that I can go and see Jo and Al. I know that there I'll be treated with honest warmth & compassion. These two women care about their clients they understand the trauma that dress shopping especially for Formal Wear that women who aren't a size 2 go through. That right there is worth it for me.
These brides walked in lacking confidence and then after they saw the dresses, actually saw what we saw, stunning, beautiful woman! Very beautiful ladies!
Jo and Al are the absolute most caring and compassionate "mothers" with all the encouraging and life advice. I wish they could give motivation to all the world. Love them🙏👏✌👍🤙💜
I think she should have tried on more dresses as well. I bet there were more dresses that would have done more justice to her figure than just the one dress she put on.
Kathy and Diane looked absolutely gorgeous on their wedding date. I love how Kathy is toward Diane. They both are radiating! 🤩 Diane looked quite slimming too in that style of wedding dress. The bride from Scotland was so sweet and innocent. God bless her. It was so beautiful to see her spirit pick up quickly as if she knew what she wanted and loved the look she had chosen. 🥰
2 absolutely gorgeous brides!!!! They both looked just absolutely beautiful in their gowns which suit them soooo well!!! Jo and Al are angels!! And Cathy looked absolutely wonderful too!!
I think that them attending the wedding is an extra cost if they can make it but I know that I, for one, would be perfectly fine with that, in the knowledge that I would be fine on the big day.
Such a gentil, kind, beautiful couple. Love the lady-groom outfit, awesome hat, shoes. The bride looks amazing. Wonderful wedding, the flower girls, the attendees. Most civilized. It's all about love! ❤️
I just love how kind and caring they both are in 67 and not getting married anytime sooner but I would just visit for the positive visit. They are just so sweet
I love how uplifting these episodes are always rooting for the bride and Jo and AL are brides fairy godmothers or bridal. Love how both brides knew the moment they put the dress on❤🥰
These 2 ladies. Jo and Al are so amazing I 💕💕💕💕 how they make the bride's so confident and positive especially the plus size when they're looking for the wedding dress keep up your great work 💕❤️❤️😇😇
In 1977 i went into a brides dress shop in manchester with my husband too be bought the first dress i tried on still love the dress now . Though i didnt have the problems these lovely ladies have good luck too all of them Ali and joe are the best ❤
Well, Jo and Al know their inventory, how it looks on different body types, and they know what they’re doing in general. When I worked at a bridal salon, I had a knack for picking out the right dress for the brides. I can look at someone and “see” a dress on them, whether bridal, or special occasion. My best friend, a guy, always insists on bringing me along when he needs business attire. He trusts my judgement and taste. Mind you, I can’t dress myself worth beans. But others? I’ve had good luck so far.
"We need to get rid of that negativity and allow her to see the positive side of herself". Think of how much more people could take care of themselves if they weren't beat down all the time.
I love JO and Al; they make the future Bride feel wonderful. Both of them have that magic touch to find the proper wedding dress. The last same sexe couple looks absolutely amazing together so happy for them after so many years they are finally united for life, they were before but getting married is very special, so are they.
All of these"bigger" brides need to remember that they have someone who loves them enough to marry them just the way they are! That makes them beautiful, inside and out. ❤️
I'd never be confidant enough to wear Diane's hair style. She needs to give herself more credit. I hope Diane and Cathy have another 25 years together in love.
This "tom-boy" bride is a "STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS" woman! I just want 2 hug her & say "look at yourself ur so beautiful"! Her face is "SIMPLY PERFECTION"! I wish I could be like some "confidence booster" no a professional "confidence booster" in a Curvey Bridal Boutique... Cuz I'd like 2 kick their insecurities out so that they can see what we all see which is "PURE PERFECTION, BEAUTY & A SPARKLE OF WOW THERE ARE NO WORDS" especially for someone who feels like they have 2 hide behind a false "tom-boy" label just 2 feel like their a person worthy of existing.
Trying on wedding dresses that actually fit you obviously makes the experience so enjoyable as opposed to going into a regular bridal shop and having them use 20 different clips to keep the dress up because you're five sizes too big for it. That's humiliating. I wish there were more of these stores around the world
I really like how we get to see the weddings, how lovely was Kathy and Diane's story, they both looked great, Kathy's shoes were fabulous. Loved her hat too.
I really liked Michelle in her first dress, but she knocked me over in the one she picked. She looks gorgeous in the dress, and I hope she'll give dresses a chance now, especially if they go with her eyes.
I hope she takes what she saw in the mirror and applies it to a new wardrobe. She’s a very pretty woman with great curves…I understand her crying. Several decades ago I was going through photos and pulled out a picture of a stranger. (At 5’8” and 120 lbs, I was extremely thin then but had been told a big butt by my family who teased me for it. My mother was particularly cruel.) I looked at the photo and thought..”who is that pretty girl?” It was me. I was so shocked, then angry and sad and then determined to change how I saw myself. I’m 80lbs overweight partly because I am severely disabled and cannot exercise and partly because after that experience, I don’t feel ugly at this weight. I’m 71, am told by people I barely that I look 50 and still have a great set of curves. I will never go back to the mindset of that abused child and adult!
Oh, I loved Kathy's outfit !!!!!!!! So elegant! Wish them both another 25 years (or more) of happiness & love ! ❤ On a side - shady - note; did this guest on 09:03 shushed her husband from saying something nasty??! 🤣🤦♀
All these ladies that take the leep of faith I think they are wonderful, for extra size ladies, PLEASE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, YOU ARE BUTIFUL, SO PLEASE STOP KNOCKING YOUR SELVES. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL IN LIFE. X X
I love when the gals stand on the podium & turn to look at the back. Too many gals stand stiff, at least for the initial reveal on-camera. I'm sure others do eventually turn side to side, but this episode showed the gals turning immediately, which is what I would do if it was me.
I love that colour on her the first Bride. Sometimes black, which is generally slimming, doesn't suit the colouring. I think she should wear dresses more often. Looked fantastic!
actually the one aspect that is often reoccurring IS that these potential.couples have been together for far .a longer time than many average the sized. women which says either : what do you mean , unconfirmed, or , are you holding on to your fiance because you.belueve he us the best OR the best YOU can .Having been tall , .lean , but not over confident I had had close male friendships since childhood & even a previous engagement SO in spite of the insecurities mast of us experience knew why I married the man I did & deeply believe UNLESS the above questions can be answered no one is ready for being able to live, support & care for every aspect marriage demands It is a roller coaster adventure into the unpredictable . At least mine was & remained so.for 45 years .,
I think Diane and Kathy both looked great! Really rocking it! But I'm curious why Diane felt pressure to wear a dress if she never does otherwise. I mean, if she wants to, fine, but it seems she didn't. What is wrong with having two women in trousers? (And why does one person need to wait for the other one at the altar?)
Why should a bigger girl not be an amasing bride?! This bothers me so much!!!! First one= edgy girl Seond one= Raying princess Quircky is the new cool! Looking fantastic!
It would be so cool to have these ladies pick my dress. My wedding dress went straight into the trashcan the very next day. It was all bad, I want to redo it someday with better circumstances.
Hey ladies u've done it all over again ,, these brides all looks fantastic and fabulous and very stunning,, she have a ten foot smile 😃 😊 😀,, gf wear that dress with proudness and congratulations to everyone
Does anyone else LOVE how they show up in matching outfits to help the bride?
Adore it! I wish i didn't live so far from my best friend!
@@mellie4174 same
They always do when they go to a wedding.
They are so beautiful
I'm obsessed with the way they match AND their matching tattoos!!!!

That is so upsetting to hear! People sure do find it easy to be cruel on the internet. Ugh. Glad you did that though.
Fatphobia runs deep. You're so right - everyone deserves to find a beautiful dress and be treated with respect!
Well said.. 💯👍👏

These ladies aren't just bridal consultants, they're personal coaches/psychologists who support and uplift their clients!!💗💗💗
No matter how my day has gone, I know that when I watch Jo & Al I'm going to feel good. They always make their brides feel like a million dollars & that whole feeling just carries over to the viewer. Thank you ladies for the fantastic job you do 😊😘
I have a job where I listen to people’s worst day of their lives. After heavy days, I know I can come here and be safe, finish with a smile and feel happy and warm inside! I agree with you 💯
I am terrified this show has been dropped and is no longer on. I read that in a post. Do you all know if it's still on.
Yes they do
I hate watching these because I always tear up. (I don't really hate them)
Both brides looked beautiful. I wish both couples every happiness now and always.
I agree I love how these two ladies can make a person feel so great about themselves. Thank you.
Jo and Al and Gok literally change lives! Love them.
This show is the most feel-good show every time. Jo and Al are incredible. They inspire me whenever I see a new show.
Kathy and Diane both looked fabulous ❤ and the wedding party were so chic and complemented the Brides. Wonderful🎉
I wish we had Jo and Al in the US! I love the way they make their brides glow from the inside-out.
Absolutely....and a Gok.
I have to say, I never plan on getting married again; but plans change. As a plus size woman, I'm not going to bother going to kleinfeld's or any of the other bridal store here in the US.

Jo and Al are the absolute most caring and compassionate "mothers" with all the encouraging and life advice. I wish they could give motivation to all the world. Love them🙏👏✌👍🤙💜
Totally agree they give light to Shadows.
I wanted to see more dresses on the first bride 🥺 she looked pretty!
I think she should have tried on more dresses as well. I bet there were more dresses that would have done more justice to her figure than just the one dress she put on.
The ladies helping brides are really very amazing, they just help the brides to have confidence. Bless you both
Kathy and Diane looked absolutely gorgeous on their wedding date. I love how Kathy is toward Diane. They both are radiating! 🤩 Diane looked quite slimming too in that style of wedding dress.
The bride from Scotland was so sweet and innocent. God bless her. It was so beautiful to see her spirit pick up quickly as if she knew what she wanted and loved the look she had chosen. 🥰
Cathryns SHOES are the BOMB! And the second bride from Scotland had PURPLE Eyes! These women are AWESOME!
2 absolutely gorgeous brides!!!! They both looked just absolutely beautiful in their gowns which suit them soooo well!!! Jo and Al are angels!! And Cathy looked absolutely wonderful too!!
Diane has a natural elegance that was enhanced by the dress. Jo and Al are so talented at doing this.
The little ringbearer was precious! I love when Jo and Al decide to attend the wedding! That is beyond customer service!
I think that them attending the wedding is an extra cost if they can make it but I know that I, for one, would be perfectly fine with that, in the knowledge that I would be fine on the big day.
Such a gentil, kind, beautiful couple. Love the lady-groom outfit, awesome hat, shoes. The bride looks amazing. Wonderful wedding, the flower girls, the attendees. Most civilized. It's all about love! ❤️
The first bride really rocked her dress it was made for her
I just love how kind and caring they both are in 67 and not getting married anytime sooner but I would just visit for the positive visit. They are just so sweet
I love how uplifting these episodes are always rooting for the bride and Jo and AL are brides fairy godmothers or bridal. Love how both brides knew the moment they put the dress on❤🥰
Omgosh how cool was the bride in her suit and hat! 👏
I thought she looked very snappy, really stylish!
These 2 ladies. Jo and Al are so amazing I 💕💕💕💕 how they make the bride's so confident and positive especially the plus size when they're looking for the wedding dress keep up your great work 💕❤️❤️😇😇
Beautiful brides all round! Kathy looks amazing in her suit and hat too!
And those shoes she wore that matched the hat were great too! Honestly, she looked fantastic from head to toe.
This is favorite couple of the whole show. You can feel the love from them. It's warm and comforting.
She is stunning! Thank you Jo and Al, for all you do!
Jo and Al get it right every time.. they're fantastic
The lady-groom looked fabulous too. 🥰🥂🍾
Okay, we need to talk about that suit, with the jaunty hat and matching boots! What a great outfit.
Awww she's so lovely! Jo and Al are the best!
It just amazes me how the bride finds her dress after trying on couple dresses
In 1977 i went into a brides dress shop in manchester with my husband too be bought the first dress i tried on still love the dress now . Though i didnt have the problems these lovely ladies have good luck too all of them
Ali and joe are the best ❤
Editing.
Yes, heavily edited! And thankfully so.
Well, Jo and Al know their inventory, how it looks on different body types, and they know what they’re doing in general.

I’ve had good luck so far.
Jo and Al are AMAZING WOMEN. I Always watch Curvy Brides to boost my heart ❤.
I love Al’s necklace! The brides looked beautiful. I don’t how you ladies do it but every time you make the brides happy and lovely. ❤❤
Congratulations🎉I love Kathy’s shoes !
we need a boutique like this in the USA
"We need to get rid of that negativity and allow her to see the positive side of herself". Think of how much more people could take care of themselves if they weren't beat down all the time.
Diane and Kathy are frigging cute as heck!!!
I'm not getting married, but I would love these lovely ladies, Jo and Al, take me out shopping for a new wardrobe. In Delaware USA!!
I am in Delaware USA too
I love JO and Al; they make the future Bride feel wonderful. Both of them have that magic touch to find the proper wedding dress. The last same sexe couple looks absolutely amazing together so happy for them after so many years they are finally united for life, they were before but getting married is very special, so are they.
how nice. both dresses. its so kind of the ladies to go to the brides to help out when they can. :)
I love these gals. Cheers to Kathy and Diane. Blessing and much happiness for you both. Another success story for Al & Jo
I adore how Al always wears her white gloves to work with the dresses. It shows how much she cares ❤
All of these"bigger" brides need to remember that they have someone who loves them enough to marry them just the way they are! That makes them beautiful, inside and out. ❤️
she looks stunning in the first dress!!!
These two ladies make every bride look stunning
The ladies are Very kind, supportive, and most important they respect the bride and her family and friends.
I'd never be confidant enough to wear Diane's hair style. She needs to give herself more credit.
I hope Diane and Cathy have another 25 years together in love.
Diane has the sweetest voice!

I only watch the youtube clips with Jo, Al and Gok on Say Yes to The Dress. Such lovely people who really care.
Trying on wedding dresses that actually fit you obviously makes the experience so enjoyable as opposed to going into a regular bridal shop and having them use 20 different clips to keep the dress up because you're five sizes too big for it. That's humiliating. I wish there were more of these stores around the world
Catherine looks adorable in her outfit too!
What a sweet love story and lovely wedding! Glad I found this in Pride month! ❤🏳🌈
I really like how we get to see the weddings, how lovely was Kathy and Diane's story, they both looked great, Kathy's shoes were fabulous. Loved her hat too.
I love what you both do for these ladies. God bless and thank you.💕💕💕
What a lovely couple!!
I ESPECIALLY LOVE your episodes with the wedding!!!! (though I LOVE ALL shows!!!)
Joe n all are great how they give these ladies the confidence too be themselves great show ❤❤❤❤
Joe and AL, you make my day. There should be more people like you. You go girls
Both brides look gorgeous

I hope your keeping to that statement - you be you, relax and enjoy yourself. You don't need to ask anyone's permission
These bridal ladies are the Best! 👏👏👏👏
It doesn't matter how BIG!! or sm U R!! ALL BRIDES!! deserve to feel BEAUTIFUL!! on they're SPECIAL DAY! And JO with AL make sure that happens!! TY!!😊
Oh Kathy rocked that look
Oh, I loved Kathy's outfit !!!!!!!! So elegant!
Wish them both another 25 years (or more) of happiness & love ! ❤

Wow! Those shoes.
😍
How beautiful. Jo and Al are the best 💞
Beautiful came in every size, be proud of U!!! i just lost it when those beautiful women got married, so many emotions 💏
Also Dianne 's hair is awesome

"Do we have a bride here? Do we have a bride? ...I see pyjamas"
Jo & Al are incredible humans
Ah both ladies looked beautiful. Best wishes for the future x
super cute. love the pajamas. kathy's outfit rocks. of course diane looks wonderful. adorable ring bearer and flower girls
I wish I could have this experience here in Michigan. I have absolutely no way to get out of my state, let alone the country to find my dream dress.
Both brides look stunning
I love that colour on her the first Bride. Sometimes black, which is generally slimming, doesn't suit the colouring. I think she should wear dresses more often. Looked fantastic!

First one= edgy girl
Seond one= Raying princess
Quircky is the new cool!
Looking fantastic!
'No one puts Diane in the corner'
It would be so cool to have these ladies pick my dress. My wedding dress went straight into the trashcan the very next day. It was all bad, I want to redo it someday with better circumstances.
This was an amazing episode ✨🌻🌹👑👑
Beautiful as always ❤️
So lovely!
I'm thin and the thought of shopping alone is stressful. but to be naked and knowing it's my wedding dress is unimaginable mental hell.
I knew that second dress was the dress because on the second girl because the feeling when I first seen her with it I could just tell that was the one
I love them. They are part of my life. Every day. X
I love these women.
I commend them for putting on wedding gowns despite their weight.
I could never do it.
Beautiful women and love the first dress especially. So unique ❤️
Hey ladies u've done it all over again ,, these brides all looks fantastic and fabulous and very stunning,, she have a ten foot smile 😃 😊 😀,, gf wear that dress with proudness and congratulations to everyone
second dress, she looks so beautiful ❤️
