Kelly Nishimoto & Sam Saboura
In a surprise twist, the table turned on the season premiere of "Something Borrowed, Something New," when designer Kelly Nishimoto ambushed her stylist co-star Sam Saboura with news that she was the bride of the week! She and Sam went shopping at the bridal salon and Kelly ultimately decided to walk down the aisle in her "something new" Romona Keveza instead of her repurposed family heirloom gown. In its three seasons, the TLC series is about 50/50 with brides choosing new or borrowed. Next, Kelly and Sam play "Guess the Dress" in which they are challenged with matching three "Home & Family" staffers with their wedding dress.
"Something Borrowed, Something New" airs Friday nights on TLC.
