Someone was asking at DLYG about whether Brides is available in the US? Unfortunately, no - the DVD is only available outside the US and you’ll need a multi-region or region-free DVD player to play it. You’ll find more information about what’s available where and multi-region DVD players in the FAQ page located under Shop.
