Amy Schumer turns the [traditional wedding reality show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-shop-campaign) on its head with her dream break-up sketch.

The comedian parodies the popular program 'Say Yes to the Dress' in this hilarious skit for her series Inside: Amy Schumer. While she does pick out a dress, it certainly isn't the one she'll be walking down the isle in. Instead, with the help of a [break-up guru](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-heartbreak), Schumer picks out the [perfect frock to crush her beau](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insomnia-cookies-breakup-12pack) of two-and-a-half year's heart. Along with her outfit, Schumer's mentor helps her pick a venue (Spanish) and dumping style (the "blindside").

Everything goes according to plan on Schumer's special day! Watch her make a grown man cry over tapas in this hysterical sketch.
