On several occasions, one Tampa woman has attempted to participate in television shows. But, although she inquired, she was never contacted.

However, after Mrs. Minyon Williams Scotland became engaged last year, she emailed the website of the “Bridezilla” Show as a joke. As in the past, she never expected to hear from them.

But, to her surprise, the staff at WE TV called her. On Sunday, Minyon, her husband, Foster, her mother, sisters, and members of the wedding party will all be featured on the show. It will air on Sunday, September 9th and Sunday, September 16th, at 10 p.m.

Minyon said, “I was so surprised that they called me. I had a three-hour telephone interview with them and then came to town and followed me around for a whole week.”

Ms. Lauren Kuebler said in a press release, “Bridezilla Minyon loves being the boss and with her wedding day quickly approaching she takes full advantage of her presiding role as bride-to-be. During her makeup trial this Zilla demands a constant flow of compliments from everyone nearby.

“She then stops by wedding coordinator Angelica’s house to break down wedding duties, but disruptive members of her bridal party cause this Zilla to flip out and break more than that!

“The next day while shopping for flower girl dresses, Minyon decides she’d rather focus on herself — pondering whether nor not she should buy herself a second wedding dress. Finally, her sister, Felecia, decides to intervene, resulting in a throw down at the local park!”

Despite all of the drama, Minyon became Mrs. Foster Scotland on June 9th. Minyon, 32, works as a Dental Assistant and is the mother of two boys. Foster, 36, is the father of one daughter and is a college professor and realtor. They are both family-oriented and enjoy spending time with their kids.

Minyon said she is glad that she was chosen for the show, but she’s not being selfish about stardom. “I’m trying to put Tampa on the map!”
