Mercedes already had her mind set on a designer before choosing the perfect dress for her big day, according to Bravo .
“We have a few dates in mind. We have the designer of the dress, which will be Pedram Couture… I wore Pedram Couture at the reunion last year and at Watch What Happens [Live] . He custom made me that sparkly gunmetal dress that I wore that night.”
Mercedes and Tommy exchanged vows around sunset on the rooftop patio of a Los Angeles hotel, which had striking views of the L.A. skyline. The newlyweds met on Tinder and had been engaged since 2015.
Mercedes noted that anyone who initially disapproved or had little faith in the couple’s union was not in attendance at the ceremony, according to People magazine.
“Maybe 200-ish [guests]… And you won’t be there if you were rooting for us to fail.”
Reza Farahan was Javid’s “man of honor” and served as one of her three male bridesmaids. Javid’s dog was the ring bearer during the ceremony.
“Everything just looked beautiful.”
When saying, “I do,” the loving couple was surrounded by their closest friends and family, including Javid’s Bravo co-stars. Mike Shouhed created an Instagram story to show off his classy black-tie outfit. Shouhed captioned the video clips with several red heart emoji’s.

Javid, at 45-years-old, had been looking for love for quite some time now. The reality television star opened up about her relationship with E! News .
“We got engaged a year in and then we went through a lot of ups and downs with family and just a lot of life curveballs… My dad took a turn for his health … and Tommy and I moved in together. All of these stressful things just made our bond even tighter and when you have so many important life things happening, you don’t pick fights with each other. You just want to stay sane and have as much gratitude and support for one another.”
Mercedes said that she fell in love with Tommy before they had even met in person.
“We were talking on the phone, I hadn’t met him yet… And I was like, ‘I love you.’ You know what is messed up? We can’t remember when he told me that he loved me,” Javid said.
After saying “I love you,” to Tommy before they’d met, when the couple finally did meet, Feight said that things got physical.
“We watched Friends and humped.”
