As the days pass on the remote Hawaiian island hosting Wedding Wars, the couples have been increasingly scheming and looking for a guaranteed way to win their $100,000 dream wedding, including a $25,000 cash prize. On last night's episode, the couples first had to fight tooth and nail—literally—for a chance to win a wedding flower package (worth $5,000). Although Frankie and Sofia (pictured at left) didn't win the blooms, Sofia was "able to get her aggressions out." The couples then participated in a tradition-themed immunity challenge to win their coveted cake topper. The task: For the groom to hold his bride-to-be up (on a shaking platform!) for as long as possible. But despite making valiant efforts in both challenges, Long Island natives Frankie and Sophia were eliminated and asked to leave the wedding chapel immediately. We checked in with the duo to hear their side of the story, get the dish on any wedding plans and share the lessons they learned about each other while filming.
While Frankie loved his time on the island ("I love the outdoors," he told us), Sofia wasn't nearly as thrilled: "The outdoors are my worst nightmare!" she laughed. But the couple did learn a thing or two about each other during their time on Wedding Wars, despite the frequent scheming, hair-pulling and whispering that was flagrant on the island. "I was so proud of Sofia," Frankie told us, "for being able to face her fears, accepting them and then embracing them. That was the best part of this whole experience for me." Meanwhile, fiancee Sofia agreed, saying, "If we could make it through this, than we could make it through anything. We were starving, dehydrated, exhausted, bruised, barefoot and blistered. We're going to make it together."
Plus, the couple has already set a wedding date: May 23, 2012. "We had to schedule our wedding for 2012 in order to give ourselves enough time to be able to afford it," Frankie told us. Great advice Frankie, and good luck to you both on your wedding day! Come back next week for more inside scoop on Wedding Wars!
