Say Yes to the Dress: UK Season 3 Episode 5 The Bride's Best Man Show

In the fifth episode of season three of Say Yes to the Dress: UK, entitled The Bride's Best Man Show, viewers are transported to the heart of London, where the experienced staff of bridal boutique Confetti & Lace work to help a unique group of brides-to-be.

Rather than arriving at the store with their female closest friends and family members, these brides have brought along their best male friends or family members as their support system during this important shopping trip. With the emphasis on celebrating unconventional relationships and the bonds between different genders, this episode promises to be both heartwarming and stylish.

The episode opens with the first bride, Michele, walking through the door with her best man Paul. Michele has come to find a dress for her destination wedding, which will take place in a rural resort in India. Together with her stylist, Michele explains that she wants a dress with a simple silhouette that will not be too heavy in the Indian heat, but that still contains an intricate design to reflect the beauty of her destination.

As the team at Confetti & Lace pull gowns from the racks, Michele tries on a variety of styles, but after trying on the third dress, it becomes clear that her best man Paul has become overwhelmed by the emotional experience. With the dress shopping process traditionally being seen as a female-centered activity, the unique dynamic between Michele and Paul is touching and emphasises the importance of support from close friends.

The second bride, Sarah, has brought along her best friend and business partner John to help her find a wedding gown. Sarah has a rock and roll style but wants something a bit more unusual for her wedding day. When she tries on a dress that features a deep-red underlayer, she and John both burst into tears and it becomes clear that this is the gown for her.

Next up is Vicky, a bride who wants to celebrate her love of Tim Burton's classic film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' by incorporating elements of the movie into her wedding. Her best man Lee is accompanying her on the trip, and together they hunt for the perfect Edward Scissorhands-inspired gown. However, despite trying on a variety of dramatic dresses with unique features such as black lace and gothic styling, it takes a quirky accessory to help Vicky finally find her dream dress.

As the show progresses, the staff at Confetti & Lace continue to help their unique set of brides, who have come to the store to celebrate their non-traditional relationships and the people who are closest to them. The uplifting message of the episode is that true love can come in many forms and is not limited by traditional gender roles.

By the end of the show, the viewer cannot help but be inspired by the strong bonds between the best men and the brides and the way they have come together to make this important event special. The message that love should be celebrated in all forms is heartwarming and will no doubt resonate with all who watch. Say Yes to the Dress: UK season three episode five of The Bride's Best Man Show is not to be missed.
