One bride is searching for anything but a pageant gown. Unfortunately, each dress is being judged by her opinionated pageant Mom. Meanwhile, another bride has tried on 100 mermaid gowns in the search for her dream dress.

One bride is torn between her own dress vision and that of her family, while another bride shares her bittersweet appointment with her terminally ill father.

Two brides must overcome obstacles in order to find their dream dresses. One bride's mother tries to share the runway with her while a "faux Southern" bride's search for the perfect down-home gown leaves everybody baffled... including her.
