Local bride Blair Lisa Manus, an account executive at Hibu who grew up in Lafayette Hill, will appear on Say Yes to the Dress, TLC's incredibly addictive wedding dress shopping show, Friday at 9 p.m.

"I had seen Jason around town for years, but we didn't officially meet until 2012 at a Center City bar called Opa. Jason was at the bar with his friend from college who I coincidentally grew up going to camp with (the Jewish community in Philly is very small, everyone is connected). I went over to say hello to my friend, and then turned to Jason and said, 'Well I've been seeing you around for the last 10 years, I guess it's about time we finally had a conversation!' That was it. I was done," Manus said.

She and Jason were engaged two years later at Opa, and were married in November of last year at the Sofitel Hotel.

Spoiler alert: Manus ends up picking Pnina Tornai, a familiar name to devotees of Say Yes to the Dress.

But wait! There's more. At 9:30 p.m. Blair and Jason will appear on Say Yes to the Address, a house hunting show where they look for a new home with Reid Rosenthal, of the Rosenthal Group, who is no strangers to cameras documenting his every move. He vied for the heart of Jillian Harris on the fifth season of The Bachelorette.

Blair and Jason will hold a viewing party for their episode on Friday, asking friends and family to bring cans of food to donate to Philabundance.
