Here's her story.
Bridezilla Erica has big dreams for her New Orleans-themed wedding. But Erica also has big attitude! She screams at her fiance over the music, cries at her rehearsal, and refuses to pay the church. She has a crazy bachelorette party which she definitely had a great time at.
On the wedding day, no one is safe from Erica's wrath! Erica screams at her sister, cries over missing shoes, and gets into a huge fight with her mother right before she walks down the aisle. Then, the wedding turns into a comedy of errors with a fallen tiara and missing car keys nearly ruining the entire day!
Divas and Weddings: You and your fiancé had quite a volatile fight about the song list, were you really that mad about him not letting you know what songs he picked out?
Erica: I was upset because he wasn't going to tell me. Wil loves music and really appreciates it but I was just mad because he wouldn't tell me about it. On TV it looks more than what it really was. Wil is not a yeller so he just keeps talking and that makes me madder.
Divas and Weddings: And were you surprised when you found out what he was trying to do?
Erica: Yes, I was surprised, it was just that he didn't tell me about it that's why I was mad. He ended up not doing it because of something with the musician.
Divas and Weddings: Your Bachelorette party was crazy; strippers, dancers, getting picked up, did you expect all the craziness? And did your fiancé every find out all that went on?
Erica: I told my cousin and maid of honor what I wanted so they kew what I wanted but it was completely a surprise to be picked up by the old guy. I wanted the cute fine one but got the old guy and was not ready for it at all. I got so drunk, and I wasn't expecting to get that drunk, hence me falling asleep, probably the cheap bottle of champagne. Will, did find out about the party he saw the pictures from little cousins phone. He had his bachelor party in Atlanta so I'm sure he had fun.
Divas and Weddings: You seemed to have tons of problems with your family, the fight with your mother before the wedding, the fight with your sister about not helping decorate. How is your relationship with them now and do you regret any of it?
Erica: Everything is good, we are going to fight and argue, we all have very strong personalities. There is nothing malicious about our fights at the end of the day we are OK. We all love each other we know family is first. We say what we want but will do anything for each other. All families argue at the end of the day. No I don’t reqret doing anything with my little sister. She can’t take it when I fight back with her but when she gets mad she goes hard and then she's done. The situation about me throwing her book in the trash was that she was on the phone laughing and giggling but when I asked her to help me with decorating she had homework to do and didnt' have time.
Divas and Weddings: During the wedding there were a few mishaps, the miniature bride's shoes being misplaced, your tiara falling off. How did it make you feel when all these things were going on? Were you embarrassed, upset or just didn’t care.
Erica: I was definitely mad about the shoes, the mini bride's mom gave everything to me, shoes attached to the dress and no one knew where they were. I was wondering how do they just disappear in thin air. Where did they go? The shoes ended up dropping in the van but my uncle said they weren't there. I was mad, she can’t walk down with nothing. The tiara was funny afterwards because of the deal with my mom not liking it and then for it fall off during the wedding. My dad did it because he stepped on my veil which made it fall off and not get put back on right so I got mad. Will was like don’t worry about it’s our day.
Divas and Weddings: What advice can you give to brides planning their wedding to avoid becoming a bridezilla?
Erica: At the end of the day stand firm on what you want and believe for your day, your time and effort put into planning it so make it your day. Don’t let anyone push you around, its your day and you get what you want. My favorite saying "No body matters but you, your groom and the preacher, everyone else is an accessory."
Yes, Yes, Yes, his season is going to be crazzzzzzy!! And I can't wait to watch.
