Nothing puts a smile on a bride’s face like getting a surprise visit from “Say Yes to the Dress” star Randy Fenoli.
In the upcoming ten-episode special season, “Say Yes to The Dress America,” the bridal designer turned host will personally marry 52 couples — one from each state, including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico — in a giant group wedding in New York’s Central Park. Plus, a few special guests will help to pull the whole thing off, including “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro.
You can watch an exclusive sneak peek of the special season above — wherein ten of the featured brides scream and cry happy tears when Fenoli surprises them with the news that they’ll be representing their home state at the big wedding. The show premieres in January 2020 and will culminate with a two-hour wedding special.
In addition to Fenoli and Valastro, Bridal designer Hayley Paige, television personality and style expert Lilliana Vazquez, and fashion industry veteran Joe Zee will be on-hand to lend their talents to the lucky couples.
Fenoli will oversee all of the dress appointments at Kleinfeld Bridal, while also serving as the wedding officiant for all 52 couples during the ceremony. Valastro will create a wedding cake big enough to feed 104 newlyweds, and Paige will style each of the brides on the day of the wedding and custom-design their bridal veils. Vazquez and Zee will be in charge of coordinating last-minute details while also serving as announcers and commentators when the brides walk down the isle.
“Say Yes to the Dress” is produced for TLC by Half Yard Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company.
