On the Say Yes to the Dress episode “Bionic Bride,” top bridal consultant Randy Fenoli helps fashion model Rebekah Marine find a dress. Rebekah is known as the Bionic Model as she has a prosthetic arm. She was born without a forearm and for the past 19 years she has worn a black prosthetic arm. For her wedding (which was in April 2018), she wore a gold prosthetic. She says “I wanted people to see it and notice it because I am proud of where I am right now.” The challenge was finding the right shade of gold. As Rebekah explains, “I didn’t want to look like C-3PO.”
One day prior to the airing of the Say Yes to the Dress episode, Rebekah posted a photo of her and her exposed belly – she’s 38 weeks pregnant with her first child, a son she calls “J”. Rebekah met her husband, medical school student Jared Paster, on the dating app Bumble in 2016 and they were engaged nine months later. (Note: Rebekah is featured in a Bumble advertising campaign, see photo below.) Say Yes to the Dress airs Saturdays at 8 pm on TLC.
