They are therapists who sell wedding dresses on the side ❤ But for all the money I have spent on therapy over the years, I could have bought a round trip first class ticket across the pond and an expensive dress I don’t need. Cheaper and more effective than some of the “professionals” I have talked to.

I do understand you wanting the Jo and Al experience. However, " forget plus size." Are you kidding me! Literally every other bridal shop provides services catering to " normal sizjudgment! Many don't even have gowns big girls can try on. Let us fat girls have Jo and Al. They, unlike every other shop, provide for a niche in the marketplace that they cater to with love, caring and no judgement!

These ladies give me the weeps. They don't pity their clients, they empathize, encourage and believe in them. Stellar human beings!

I never get tired of this show! I can watch it all day!

Yeah, and that's why it kind of feels hard to believe it was a genuine moment. We've all seen fat, beautiful women come to life in a wedding dress, but this wasn't one of those moments. This girl is exactly the kind of person who needs a moment like that and they got it on camera like a movie? Sus

I love how Jo and Al are honest, but kind. So many people wouldn't be able to say "you'd need to lose 3 dress sizes" and NOT have it be harsh or cruel- intended or not.

Oh, Jo, you made me cry! I love the support you gave Mandy. You and Al support all of your bride's, but this one was extra special.

Kitchen and Jorn (youtubers) just went to a plus size wedding dress boutique with one of their partners. Their clips didn't focus on the owner or staff, it was mostly the try on, but it seemed nice. Located in LA, so maybe more selection in coming to the bigger bride in North America too

My heart broke when she said what her tutor had told her!!! It just goes to show how many secretly insecure people there are in this world, saying cruel, mean things to vulnerable people ... they claim to just being "honest" but the reality is they are pumping up their own ego in order to feel superior, revealing their own hidden insecurities!!

Its true though. People who have always been average sized, have no clue how overweight people are treated. Growing up, I was tall, thin and popular, people always treated me kindly, but I gained 175lbs after all my pregnancies and for 10 years I was plus sized. People either treat you badly, right to your face, or they ignore you like you aren't there. I had gastric bypass 16 years ago and lost 160lbs and have maintained 130lbs for the last 15 years, I had a tummy tuck and breast lift. Now people treat me the way I use to be treated before I gained the weight. But you can ask any overweight or obese woman how they are treated by others and I guarantee you that they've all got stories to tell about people treating them badly. I was made to feel stupid and uneducated, I have a master's degree and I'm far from stupid but that's how thin people treat heavy people. Not many people talk about weight discrimination, but it's out there, full on. Every single job I applied to when I was thin, I got! But those years I was heavy, I'd have to go on 8-10 interviews just to get a second call back interview. Many people talk about color discrimination but I agree, its real, I also have darker skin and very ethnic looking, but it was the weight discrimination that was always a much worse issue with employers. It's horrible being heavy, you don't get the respect you deserve!!

​​@@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 Pretty privilege is a thing, too. I have always been moderately overweight, a size 14-16/XL in the US. I have always gotten the job I applied for because I am kind & respectful but also have blue eyes and olive skin, brown hair, good skin. I lost 80lbs few years ago & I got more unwanted attention from men, but getting jobs was just as easy. Pretty privilege exists too. (I'm agreeing with you by the way).

It's a fact of life. Ive been thin and I've been plus sized. The way others treat overweight or obese people is horrendous and heartbreaking. They think you are stupid, make mean comments or ignore you and pretend you're not there. Its almost like the thin person doesn't realize that you are a human being also!! I was plus sized for 10 years of my 61 years on this earth and in those 10 years I have so many wretched and mean stories I could tell you. Employers discriminate, people are rude, its probably the worst discrimination I've every experienced. I also have darker skin and I'm very ethnic looking, but I got discriminated way more for my weight! Overweight or obese people ARE PEOPLE TOO!!

I loved the feather dress on her. Unique and fun. And she looked kickin

Its not often I cry over watching these shows, but the first girl finding that beautiful dress, brought so much joy to my heart. She looked ABSOLUETLY stunning! That dress looked like it was made for her.

I love these 2 women so much! The Way the treat their customers is lovely. And I love their necklaces! All of them!

Balling my eyes out hard on this one. These two ladies have touched my soul in a way no therapist or friend have ever.....

Jo and Al are most kindest souls they should teach everyone how to be kind to brides

I can relate....10 yrs. Old, taking dancing lessons, and a guy who was always at our classes said to me as I m coming out of the dressing room to the dance floor said to me, Well, I see u put down that knife and fork. Haven t ever forgot those words. I m 72 yo now and those words said to me...I still remember after all these words. Words are powerful. Be kind to others

I love how Jo & Al try to help the brides see themselves as the beautiful women they are. I thought Gemma absolutely rocked the feather dress! And I loved Mandy’s first dress, but I hope her favorite dress worked out for her. 💓

The funny thing, when I was stressed this evening, I started KZread, and there were Jo and Al. I became calm and actually happy just listening to them. Thank You both.

I love these women. They never put a bride in a position to be humiliated. Their first concern is the bride always. I love these women

Such amazing women those two are. They love helping brides.

Oh my goodness. This episode really got to me. Love to Mandy, love to Gemma, and love to Jo and Al!

I love you two ladies. You are so amazing with your costumers. The two of you understand what they go through shopping. You also make them completely comfortable with trying on different styles.

Ok I know Ive complained about klienfeld's just being a big commercial for panina, but I'd really like some designers named in these episodes so folks can seek out the dresses we see on the show.

Me crying to tears of joy Mandy you are beautiful. People that says bad stuff to you or me makes us stronger.

You ladies are the most kind & compassionate people. This beautiful lady came to you so deflated & feeling less than beautiful. You've made her realise that she was the wonderful person that everyone sees, but she couldn't. Then Jo cried when she told the bride of her own weight loss journey & that brought me undone. Brilliant, as usual.

I absolutely love and adore Jo and Al. They are so kind and gentle but still tell the brides the truth. We need more people like Jo and Al

That first dress looks amazing on her

I hope Mandy was able to wear the dress she loved..Curvey women come in all shapes and sizes and thank God for Jo and Al having everything a curvey Bride could want along with a good dose of positivity ❤️

SHES SO PRETTYYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤

Love these ladies...I want just to hug them both. They could make the world feel special.💜🙏🌞👏

When you need a smile and some hope and the feeling like you just got a hug, you just watched them in action. Jo and Al are what we all need. Their karma is smooth and blue. ❤

I've never seen Jo get this emotional. BIG lump in my throat over this episode. 🥺

I love theses ladies. Always touching the lives of their clients.

She was STUNNING in the first dress! What a spectacular figure she had! But...to each their own. She looked beautiful in the dress she chose.

I loved the second one in the feather dress. She looked amazing!

20 stone!? How come I never knew this about Jo? That's amazing!! When I was 6 I started ballet classes. I desperately wanted to dance. I was only there a short time because one day the teacher said I'd never make a good dancer because I was too fat. That comment has haunted me all my life and I never returned to dancing. I never told my mom because I was so ashamed. I look back at photos now and don't even know why she said that. I'm just an average six year old. Maybe not "skinny" but definitely not an overweight child at all. Yet here I am 46 years later, very overweight and still feeling crushed as I write this. Choose your words carefully. They can have a life long impact for good or for harm.

Man I love what you girls do! You make the lives of plus size girls so much sweeter when you show them that they truly are beautiful! I cry over every show. You make the world a better place!

That story she told about her tutor INFURIATED ME! How freaking dare you!

I loved the feather dress!

ive never seen Jo cry like that! so sweet

I wish they would make a new season…

They are just the nicest people. Honestly and genuinely kind and good. ❤

I have lost 200 lbs. I feel for her so much. After losing the weight it is nice to buy clothes in a normal store and be able to pick more of a variety. I only ever got picked on once in college.

Both brides looked beautiful and picked gorgeous gowns.

Don’t forget to give us an update on the first client please and thanks

My heart literally went out to Jo in this episode. When she started crying, it just broke my heart. I’m not a big girl, and I’ve never been a big girl, but I have been pregnant four times and each pregnancy. I had to lose 45 pounds afterwards. It was really really hard and I can’t imagine losing as much weight as Jo has. ❤ Jo and Al are beautiful human beings inside and out.

Shes so beautiful!

I weigh about 75 kg... yes, I know that's not comparable.. I just want to say that I love very much all women who weigh just a little bit more... they are so vulnerable, full of kindness and love and that she just didn't deserve to be treated like that...🌹❤️🙏🏼

I love so much that Al gave the bride the option of having that motivation to get healthier. The earlier she does it, the better off she will be. I really hope it worked out.

She looked amazing in that feather dress!!! She just didn’t know it!

They are Just Lovely! Jo and Al make absolutely everyone feel beautiful!!! I weep at every episode! But this one was extra special!

I don't cry often but the first girl. She is beautiful.

❤❤❤ I love Jo and Al!!

The brides look so pretty.

I guess I’m a bit confused. Even if Mandy’s favorite dress doesn’t fit, she’ll get a feeling for it and if she likes it, they’ll just order it in her size. She loves it so much that it would be a shame not to let her try it on.
