'I Do' Times Two! ‘Say Yes To The Dress’ Features Its First Polygamous Relationship
Say Yes to the Dress has been on for 15 seasons, but this Saturday, the show is experiencing a major first: a dress fitting for a bride who’s marrying a man…who’s already married!
In a clip for the upcoming episode, consultant Debbie Asprea meets with new client Jennifer, who proceeds to introduce her wedding dress-finding entourage: her fiancé Peter Runmo, and his wife, Ellen.
“We’re a polygamous couple!” Jennifer says with a big smile.
Debbie, looking utterly thrown off by her bride’s bubbly announcement, then speaks for all of as she says, “Okay, so now I’m a little bit confused. Tell me about that.”
Peter’s first wife Ellen then explains that after the birth of their daughter, she was diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, which left her unable to be touched, even by her own husband.
Feeling badly for Peter, Ellen encouraged her husband to find love elsewhere. “This was something that I kind of pushed. I wanted to be sure that he was okay,” Ellen emphasized.

Added Peter, “This isn’t religious-based. We were all Catholic, this is clearly pretty far from the religion in which we were raised.”
