Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Princess means different things to

different brides.

>> I like a more kind of a silver screen

like vintage Hollywood. Okay.

>> But I've never had an intergalactic

princess before.

>> Are you guys excited to go pull out some

costumes for her today?

>> Yes.

>> Let's go.

>> All right.

Something tells me I'm going to need

more than the forest to help this bride

find her dress today. Okay. Would a

rebel princess wear this? [laughter]

>> No. You've seen Star Wars, right?

Who's the bride? That's me. [music] I'm

Miranda Wyatt. I'm 36 years old. I live

in Fort Myers, Florida.

>> Tell me who's with you today.

>> My friend Heather, my friend Yummy, my

sister Mindy, and my mom Janette.

>> So, tell me about [music] this wedding.

>> It is in 8 days.

>> How many days?

>> Eight days. So, the first time I ever

meet my fianceé, Jeff, is going to be on

my wedding day.

>> Wow. Okay. It's a very very magical

fairy book story. [music]

>> My fiance is Jeff Yodar. He lives in

Ohio. And we connected online through

mutual friends about [music] 5 months

ago. And then about a month ago, we

decided that we're meant to be together.

>> So you've never never ever like laid

eyes on him. Not in person.

After months of talking like 8 hours a

day, I'm like, "We should meet the day

we get married." And he's like, "All

right." It's magical. I mean, it's like

a divine intervention.

So, tell me what you want this dress to

look like.

>> I'm looking for something definitely

unique. Not the traditional like long

train ball [music] gown type of dress.

Y'all ready to go do this?

>> We are.

>> Let's do it. Come on.

>> With a $2,000 budget and only 8 days

until the ID dos, Miranda's only option

is buying something straight off the

sale rack.

>> Let's see what you think you might like.

>> Do you want something really fitted?

>> No.

Do you like tulle?

>> I do not like tulle.

>> Do you like ivory?

>> No.

>> No.

>> Lace.

>> Not a lace girl.

>> I believe in magic and all, but it's

going to take a whole lot more than

abracadabra to find her address.

>> I wasn't sure if I was going to find

what I was looking for.

>> When the idea of wearing silver fell

flat.

>> I'm just not crazy about that one at

all.

>> Lorie realized it's going to take

something extra special for this bride

to feel the magic. Well, if she wants

out of the box, hang loose, cuz I think

I got something.

>> Oh, let's pray for some magic.

>> I've got one dress that I'm thinking of

that has never been on the floor. Nobody

has ever tried it on. And if Miranda

wants something unforgettable,

this is the dress.

>> Hey y'all.

>> Okay, [screaming]

>> we've got a surprise.

>> It's something up our sleeve. This is

one of a kind dress. Okay.

>> Oo. Beautiful.

>> Pretty. Definitely gorgeous.

>> I knew all along I wanted to feel like a

bride, but not an average typical type

of bride.

>> Went all the way around.

>> Wow.

This is gorgeous. That's exactly what I

was going for.

My goodness.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> I cannot believe how beautiful this is.

Wow.

>> Do you think she looks like a bride now?

>> Yes. This is so you all the way. 100%.

>> It needs no alterations.

>> Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? A bridal

dress that doesn't need any alterations.

That does not happen.

>> That is ironic and bizarre. And this was

meant to be.

>> Maybe there's something to this magic

thing. I know. I can't explain it.

>> Wow. Magical. I love the dress.

>> And you say,

>> I'm saying yes to this dress.

>> Yeah. [cheering]

>> We all could see her face and there was

no doubt. There was no going back. This

was the dress. You knew this was gonna

happen and it did.

>> That dress was me for [music] me.

Magical is the only word that fits this

whole entire story book fairy tale of

mine.

>> Hi.

>> Who's my bride? That's me.

>> My name is Jessica Black. I'm from Arab,

Alabama and I'm [music] 23 years old.

>> So, who do you have with you?

>> I have my friend Christie and my friend

[music] Kayn. This is my mom Melissa and

this is my sister Jennifer.

My fiance's name is Heath Odin. We get

down and dirty.

If it involves going outside,

we're out there doing it. We go ride

four-wheelers every weekend. We are in

the mud constantly.

>> So, tell me a little bit about your

wedding, Jessica.

>> It's very country themed. It's going to

be in a hay field. We are going to have

our four-wheelers there. We like to call

it classy redneck. [laughter]

didn't know there is a such thing as

classy and redneck.

>> Redneck chic. Maybe

there is no such thing as classy

redneck. This is a wedding. It's

supposed to be nice and formal. My

sister thinks that I can go a little

overboard with a redneck portion of it.

You're going to have people with

four-wheelers coming and mud flying

everywhere.

>> There's nothing wrong with that.

>> How do you want your dress to look? I

really like the lace, but um it also has

to match

my camo sash.

>> Interesting. [laughter]

Are we basing the dress around this?

>> I would like to. Yes. If the sash

doesn't look good with the dress, then I

probably won't use the dress.

>> So, you're going to base your decision

on a $50 sash?

>> I will not let anybody talk me out of

this sash. It's going on the dress no

matter what.

What is our budget for a dress? $1,500.

>> This bride has come on with her camo

sash.

So, I guess it's time to go hunting for

a dress.

What do you think about this?

>> I like that.

>> I think this is so country and chic.

>> Maybe not redneck enough.

>> So, what would make the dress redneck?

>> The sash. [laughter]

When a bride is planning her whole dress

around one unusual accessory,

[music]

there's bound to be some roadkill on the

runway.

>> Do you think the sash would work with

that?

>> I don't think the sash really needs to

match the dress. I am looking for

dresses that do not go with the sash.

I've always pictured her in something

more classic. Not your wedding, it's

Jessica's wedding. [music]

>> Hello, darling.

first dress.

>> Hoping to add a little elegance to bride

Jessica's classy redneck vision,

consultant Flo starts her off in an

ivory taffida dress with rouching and

floral beading.

>> I do like it.

I really like the just hints of sparkle.

I like the top of it. It's got some

pretty, you know, sparkly stuff on it.

It It's cute. [music] I need my sash.

Don't be handing me a piece of

camouflage cuz I don't know what to do

with it.

>> After several failures, Monty found her

a dress she loves. But there's only one

problem.

>> Kind of wish I could [music] see it

without the sash.

>> This is her personality. This is her

style.

>> I don't know.

>> At this point, it's a challenge. I want

to see if I can get sister on team sash.

>> What do you think about getting jacked

up?

>> Jack me up.

I'm going to try to add a little couture

to the camo. I'm going to make it work.

Maybe that will end this sister's feud.

>> The brooch really makes it more

feminine. And I really like the dress.

>> Yeah.

>> So, Jessica, what are you saying to this

dress?

>> I'm saying yes to this dress.

[screaming]

>> This dress is the most perfect [music]

dress. I feel great. Love it. My

fiance's name is Chris Lee.

We're perfect for each other. We met 6

years ago at Dragon Con here in Atlanta.

Dressed up as Luke Skywalker and

Princess Leia.

>> See, you kind of have that hair.

>> I'm a big Star Wars fan.

I love Princess Leia the most, and I

wanted to do a little hair tribute.

>> And your name's Leia. So, [laughter]

>> her birth name is Leah.

Well, she calls herself Princess Leia.

>> Yes, Leah does know the difference

between reality and the Star Wars thing

sometimes.

>> We're going to be Princess Leia as a

bride.

>> Yes,

my wedding dress is absolutely going to

be a costume. [music] She's the leader

of the rebellion princess. She's the

take charge, nononsense princess. She's

not a tiara and poofy dress princess.

>> Princess means different things to

different brides. I like a more kind of

a silver screen like vintage Hollywood.

Okay.

>> But I've never had an intergalactic

[music] princess before.

>> Well, you guys excited to go pull out

some costumes for her today?

>> Yes.

>> Let's go.

>> All right.

>> Something tells me I'm going to need

more than the forest to help this bride

find her dress today. Okay. Would a

rebel princess wear this?

>> No. You've seen Star Wars, right? I've

seen Star Wars. Let's put that back. But

it's not like I memorize it. I got to

do.

>> What about this dress?

>> Not so much. You see how it fills the

bag?

>> Yeah.

>> That's too much poof. I kind of want a

dress that I can do something with

later. To me, spending a lot of money on

a gown that I'm only going to wear for

about 9 hours.

>> Can you see this one transformed from

wedding gown to costume?

>> No. Feels wasteful. What about this?

Does this look like a This looks like

something my Barbie had in the '8s.

Not really a good thing. You can't have

a fantasy bridal moment if you're

worried about making your bridal gown

into a costume later.

>> If I can't see this costume, I can't buy

it. So,

nothing.

There's no oo and a's, no gasps,

nothing. They just sat there. So

frustrating. I like the other one

better. I have to admit.

>> I just don't like the shape of it. Leah,

does this give you the Hollywood glamour

look that you were looking for?

>> Yeah, a little bit.

>> Do you love the dress?

>> I do really like the dress.

>> If you love this dress, then you should

get the dress. Do you see yourself

walking down the aisle in this dress?

>> I could see myself definitely walking

down the aisle in this. And do you see

yourself maybe using this as a costume

later?

>> I would maybe not want to turn it into a

costume later.

>> Oh wow. I think not wanting to turn this

dress into a costume might be a little

bit of a stumbling block. I'm a little

disappointed that I'm considering this

one and I'm not like, "Oh my god, you

guys."

>> Sometimes you have to just stay away and

just let the bridal gown be a bridal

gown.

>> It is so important to me that I can see

more than just my wedding day in it.

That I can see future joy out of [music]

my dress. It is really pretty, but I

worry that it's a little too princessy.

Not the princessy.

>> When you get married, maybe you can

envision your husband 50 years from now.

But your dress, it only needs to be

perfect for one day.

>> Whatever you love, you have to embrace

it and [music] choose that one and just

go and stop there.

>> I don't know that I can do that with

this one.

Do you feel like right now you can't

make a decision?

>> Yes.

I think that's where I'm at. [music]

>> I'm here to help a bride who is going to

have a medieval themed wedding.

>> Oh, are we going to have like chicken on

the leg?

>> We're going to definitely have some of

those touches, but I'm here to remind

her that we can keep things medieval but

also keep it elegant.

>> Good. So, I brought a little special

something.

>> Oh, pretty. I actually brought a crown

for Alyssa to try on that's inspired by

Renaissance but still has some elegance

and I think it's gonna take the theme to

the next level.

>> As far as the dress goes, does she want

it like all medieval? A corset. She

definitely wants a corset.

>> Yeah. All right, let's go shopping.

Great.

>> You know, a bridal gown really is a

costume in and of itself. [music] So,

let's find a gown that she loves. She's

going to love it.

>> And she can bring that medieval theme in

through her decor and her accessories.

What do you think about this?

>> Oh my gosh, it's a medieval princess.

I am extremely excited to work with

Jennifer. Hi.

>> I would love for her to take something

nerdy like my medieval themed wedding

and turn it into something amazing.

>> You're the bride.

>> Yes. I have my mom Deborah, my matron of

honor, Jen, and [music] my friend Paige.

>> Tell us about you.

>> Me and my fiance are probably two of the

biggest nerds you'll ever meet.

[laughter]

>> That's a good thing.

>> Yeah.

>> I am engaged to Logan Grody. Alyssa and

I met about [music] oh three and a half

years ago at work. And really the reason

I love her is the way that we can be

giant nerds together.

>> Our wedding is at the Cavender [music]

Castle in Delana, Georgia. We want

everyone to feel like they've [music]

been taken back in time. So my dress has

to be a medieval gown that you would

think of when you think of that time

period. My budget for today is 3500. So

you want to look like a bride. I want to

look between something like a bride and

almost like a medieval princess.

>> Princess, I can do no problem. But

medieval princess, I'm hoping we can

kind of meet in the middle here.

>> I don't know.

>> Me thinks this could be a problem.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> Look at that smile.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> Mom, you can't speak.

>> No. [laughter]

>> Do you think it fits the theme of your

wedding? I feel like it really does

>> in an elegant way.

>> I still feel like I would love it more

if it were an A-line.

>> No, I think

>> Alyssa is so focused on looking like a

medieval princess, she's not seeing that

this dress is the holy grail. She looks

like a modern medieval bride. I think

you need to be jacked up.

>> YEAH.

OKAY,

>> YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME, JENNIFER.

>> Oh my gosh. So, now we have this

It is so gorgeous on you. Open your

eyes.

[snorts]

I think it's perfect.

>> She loves it.

>> So, you're saying what to this dress?

>> Come say yes to the dress. [cheering]

>> I'm so appreciative of Jennifer [music]

and Lorie. They found the most perfect

dress I could ever imagine. I feel like

an elven queen. Beautiful.

>> Is there Janette down here?

>> I'm Janette.

>> What are you doing down in bridesmaid?

>> I want color for you or for your

bridesmaid?

>> For me.

>> For you. Okay. So, tell me what color.

Black.

>> I have always been in love with the

color black. I've just always been

comfortable in that color and it's just

always been the color I've been drawn

to.

>> No black.

>> No black.

>> We can have some accents of black, but

no solid black,

>> right? Me and my stepmom have to polar

opposite style. She's more of the big

hair, the bling.

>> No black. Non-traditional is fine with

me. We want Janette [music] to be

Janette, but she's just too far off the

reservation as far as being

non-conformist.

>> With the right accessories, anything can

look however you want it to.

>> Absolutely. And I want to be able to

show off my scar. What's your scar from?

>> I had open heart surgery. What?

>> I had a heart attack 8 months ago. I

started having real sharp pain down my

[music] left arm. So Jeff took me to the

ER. Then they did a double bypass.

>> They had her heart in her hand pumping

it.

>> I had [music] less than a 2% chance to

make it. A

>> she made it. Look, she's here. She's

good. [music] Right.

>> She is just a miracle. People do not

survive what she had. Now I understand

why they don't want you to [music] wear

black.

>> No, it's not a funeral. It's a wedding.

>> White and ivory is not completely

knocked out.

>> Okay. What kind of style of dress you

want?

>> Rockabilly. Rockabilly.

>> Real big into motorcycles. And

Rockabilly's like the original

motorcycle rebels.

>> Okay. [music] And they're a little bit

more classy.

>> Okay. What's your budget?

>> $2,500.

>> Do you want to go on upstairs and let's

look up there? Cuz can't have a

bridesmaid's dress for your wedding.

Let's go. Come on.

Okay, her eyes are closed.

Not being able to judge their faces

[music] to see what it all looks like

made me extremely anxious.

>> And we're going to turn you towards the

mirror.

>> All right, open your eyes.

>> Oh my god.

>> It feels like this is the dress I should

be in. It feels like this is exactly how

it should look. [music] And I just feel

gorgeous.

Why are you getting emotional?

>> Because it's a beautiful start.

This is my new beginning.

>> It's black, but okay. I thank you. Since

she had her open [music] heart surgery,

the small things that irritate you,

nobody cares about that anymore. Nothing

else matters.

>> I didn't love the dress before,

but when you come out, [music]

>> I love you in this dress.

>> Oh.

I didn't want anything to remind me of

that day,

>> but she's happy and she deserves that.

>> Come on, Dad. [music] I want to see you

with her.

>> A sweet.

>> So, Janette, what are you saying to the

dress?

>> I'm saying yes to the dress.

>> It's so much more real now having the

dress. It's been [music] the first piece

of starting my new life.
