Say Yes To The Dress Season 2 Episode 9 Grooms in Gowns

Say Yes to the Dress season 2 episode 9, titled "Grooms in Gowns," features a unique twist on the traditional wedding dress shopping experience. In this episode, the focus shifts from brides to grooms who are searching for their perfect wedding gowns.

The episode opens with host Randy Fenoli and his team of bridal consultants preparing for their first-ever same-sex male couples who are looking for gowns for their weddings. The team starts by discussing the challenges that come with dressing grooms in gowns, as many wedding dress designs are tailored to a woman's figure and may not be suitable for a man's body type.

Despite the challenges, the consultants are excited to help these couples find their dream gowns. In the first appointment, the team meets Ruben and his fiancé Andreas. Ruben is looking for a dress that reflects his love for theater and has a playful, theatrical edge. He tries on several gowns, including a blue ball gown with a voluminous skirt, before finally selecting a stunning lace gown with a detachable cape. Andreas is moved to tears when he sees Ruben in the gown, and both men are overjoyed with the final selection.

Next, the team meets Mark and his fiancé, who are both looking for gowns for their upcoming wedding. Mark had previously been married to a woman and is excited to wear a gown for his second wedding. The consultants listen closely to Mark's vision, which involves a simple yet elegant dress with a long train. After trying on a few gowns, Mark finds his perfect dress – a sleek satin gown with a beautiful train that he can't stop twirling in.

The third appointment features an unusual twist: a groom who is looking for a gown to wear to his wedding, but without his fiancé's involvement. The groom, Matt, reveals that he has a non-traditional relationship and wants to surprise his partners with his gown during the ceremony. He tries on several gowns, including a high-low hemmed blush-colored dress and a white ball gown with a tiered skirt. The design team is intrigued by the challenge of creating a unique gown that incorporates elements from both traditional and non-traditional wedding dresses.

As the episode progresses, there are moments of tension and excitement as the consultants work to find the perfect gowns for each groom. The show also highlights the emotional impact that finding the perfect dress can have on a groom, even as they navigate the challenges of a non-traditional wedding. Throughout the episode, Randy Fenoli and his team provide both practical advice and emotional support to the grooms, helping them find their dream gowns and creating a memorable experience for them.

In the end, the grooms are all thrilled with their final choices and express their gratitude to the consultants for helping them find their dream gowns. The episode offers a touching and poignant look at the challenges and joys of finding the perfect wedding dress, even in non-traditional circumstances.
