A Rowlett woman who imposed a 200-pound weight minimum on all her bridesmaids will be featured on this Sunday's episode of Bridezillas.

Christina Ibendahl Grant, a self-proclaimed control freak, tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony last December.

Grant told the Dallas Morning News that she had to completely revamp her original plans after her wedding party and vendors learned she would be featured on the show.  

"My preacher thought it was unbiblical because I was on Bridezillas, so he canceled. I had to find a new vocalist; because she didn't even want there to even be a chance she'd make it on the show. My deejay backed out, going, 'You're Bridezilla? I'm having none of that,'" Grant said.

The 28-year-old woman also had to find new bridesmaids after the first lineup backed out.

Grant, who said she knows what it's like to be judged by her size, called the weight requirement for her bridesmaids a "victory against all the skinny girls."

You can watch the highlights of the wedding and its planning unfold Sunday at 8 p.m. on the WE Network.
