Unlike past episodes of Wedding Wars, where challenges were all about brawn and bravery—using giant Q-tips to knock each other over, and who could forget scarfing down dog food—last night was the battle of wits. First, the eight remaining couples had to recreate photos in a wedding album for this week’s gift challenge. Kevin and Angel had the fastest time, so they snapped up 12 Vivitar HD cameras and $3,000 towards their wedding photography. Next, this week’s security challenge required couples to persuade their fellow contestants why they deserve the $100,000 grand prize. After many heartbreaking stories, Mario and Melinda won almost unanimously. In the end, viewer faves Brandon H. and Stephanie were sent home.
Although the couple revealed that they were definitely angry after Kat and Hollywood were eliminated, Brandon told BG: “I don’t have any regrets…we played the game exactly the way we wanted to, going into it.” On the flip side, Stephanie admitted that she wears her emotions on her sleeve and “there were moments when I felt that I shouldn’t have said certain things.” However, both B&S can agree that the show improved their communication skills and brought them closer as an engaged couple.
Stephanie and Brandon have set a wedding date for October 15th, 2011 in San Diego. They want their intimate wedding (they expect to have around 85 guests) to “incorporate a New York City feel, with bright lights, colors, and a candy bar.” Although they haven’t selected their honeymoon locale yet, they are tempted to come full-circle and visit Hawaii (albeit under different circumstances). A self-proclaimed wedding-planning procrastinator, Stephanie urges fellow brides to “have fun with it [your wedding]. It’s the most important moment of a woman’s life—don’t be so stressed out. You want to enjoy it!”
