Sarah had always struggled with confidence because of her birthmark as she recalled getting bullied due to it.

Sarah revealed her birthmark covers 50 percent of her body. While she seems to be positive about her body after years of being picked on, she admitted it hadn't been an easy road for her. 

Sarah recalled she had always believed she would never find her happily ever after as whoever she met, rejected her and made her feel that she is not pretty. Despite this, she felt lucky when she met her now-husband, Nelson. Unfortunately, they could not have the wedding that she had always dreamed to have because she was pregnant when they decided to get married. 

The two ended up marrying in a courthouse. Sarah revealed it had been eight years since their marriage but they have been together for 13 years. The decision to have a vow renewal in the form of a wedding came after Nelson got into an accident. 

Sarah feared that they never had a special moment celebrating their marriage and this led her to make the decision of walking down the aisle for the very first time on the occasion of their anniversary. Nelson revealed she had a mermaid theme planned in her mind and he wanted to give her that. 

The queens, BeBe Zahara Benet, Thorgy Thor, Jujubee and Alexis Michelle, had the perfect event planned and wanted to make sure Sarah's special day went smoothly. They organized a photoshoot for the couple and Sarah had to make the decision if she wanted to hide her birthmark or embrace it. 

Sarah felt the pressure as she felt confused about what was best. She finally made up her mind to have the birthmark covered. She felt pretty as she posed with her husband for some beautiful snaps. However, she had to make this decision again on her big day. Alexis tried to motivate Sarah to embrace her natural beauty while also giving her the freedom to make her choice. 

Finally, Sarah knew on her special day, she didn't want to hide as she decided to embrace her birthmark and walked down the aisle smiling. She looked like a beautiful radiant bride and confessed she never thought she could look 'traditionally beautiful'. The night ended with Nelson and Sarah getting married again with Thorgy officiating the wedding. 

'Dragnificent!' airs on Mondays at 11 pm ET on TLC.
