What happens when your future mother-in-law is a reality TV star and the queen of Southern bridal fashion?
On tonight’s season finale of “Say Yes To the Dress Atlanta,” Rebecca Gunn marries Cory Lee Allen, son of Lori Burns Allen, who is owner of Bridals by Lori in Atlanta and star of the TLC reality show. Each week’s episode features Allen helping brides-to-be from across the Southeast find the perfect gown for the wedding of their dreams in her Atlanta bridal boutique.
Gunn is a graduate of Girls Preparatory School’s class of 2007, received a nursing degree from Dalton State College and is employed by a Cumming, Ga., hospital. Allen is a graduate of Auburn University and is vice president of operations of BBL Systems and Bridals by Lori in Atlanta.
Tonight’s episode follows Gunn as she searches for wedding dresses (finally deciding on three) and plans her ceremony and reception, which features a 6-foot wedding cake decorated with more than 1,000 handmade sugar flowers.
Show star Allen enlists her sidekick, Monte Durham, to help her plan the perfect wedding for the couple. But she learns it’s not easy being the mother of the groom and taking a back seat when she’s “the queen of all things bridal,” according to a TLC news release.
