On the latest Belle Collective, Marie and Kerri argue during a tea tour of Atlanta. Latrice and Glen’s surprise for the group does not sit well with Mike. Later, Selena and Mike’s wedding faces a major setback when the food does not arrive.
Here’s the recap for “Wedding Belles.”
Kerri tells Matt she needs more support.
Kerri tells Matt she is trying to avoid financial ruin, and the stress is taking a toll on her. She wants him beside her “in the trenches” instead of telling her everything will be fine. Kerri says, “Right now, he’s not giving me what I need him to give me as a spouse and a teammate.”
Matt explains that they handle stress differently. He advises Kerri to focus on what is important and eliminate anything they can do without. However, Kerri wants him to share some of her emotional burden. “Feel this pain with me. Take on some of this stress,” she says.
Matt insists he is also stressed by everything Kerri has been experiencing. He says it is difficult to watch his wife go through an emotional roller coaster. Regardless, he is ready for them to move forward any way they can.

Marie challenges Kerri over her tone and support.
Later, during the tea tour, the ladies question Kerri about how she treated Matt in front of the group. Kerri admits that she sometimes uses him as a punching bag because they have been together for more than 20 years. “I know that’s a thing that I do, and I work on it all the time,” she says.
Marie then confronts Kerri about her mannerisms and the way she expresses her opinions. She also feels Kerri should have attended her grand opening because she made time to support Kerri’s influencer event. Kerri explains that traveling to Jackson would have taken six hours out of her day.
Marie says being part of the Collective requires Kerri to show up and form deeper relationships with the other women. However, Kerri reminds Marie that she criticized her decision to collaborate with Latrice. Their disagreement becomes heated when Marie tells Kerri, “You’re going to respect me.”

Marie explains why questions about her business upset her.
As the disagreement continues, Marie tells the group that she felt disrespected when the women questioned whether her business had closed. She insists that Hamilton Davis still exists. Marie also says allegations involving a medical business are serious.
Lateshia explains that the women wanted clarity about Marie leaving Flowood and purchasing a building in Pearl. She apologizes if their questions offended Marie. However, Marie does not understand why she must explain herself and admits the situation left her traumatized.
Kerri continues to challenge Marie, but Marie refuses to revisit the conversation. “I stated what I stated,” she says. Eventually, Marie and Kerri agree to stop arguing so the group can focus on Selena’s wedding weekend.

Mike walks away from Latrice and Glen’s surprise.
Once the argument ends, Latrice and Glen surprise Selena, Mike, and the group with two dancers who are also a couple. Selena embraces the entertainment and says, “I am the bachelorette, and I am ready to just have some fun.”
Mike feels differently about the male dancer. “I’m not trying to sit there and watch my woman rub on no dude,” he says. Mike leaves the room so the women can enjoy themselves, and Glen follows him because the surprise was planned for him.
Latrice admits the party did not go as she expected. She did not think Mike would have a problem with the entertainment. However, Selena praises Latrice and Glen for working together to plan the weekend. She has no complaints except for Kerri and Marie ruining the tea party.

Selena and Mike get married, but the caterer does not arrive.
Later, everyone returns to Jackson for Selena and Mike’s wedding. Selena becomes emotional as her daughters walk her down the aisle. Her grandchildren carry a photo of her late son during the ceremony. “I feel his presence with me here right now, and it just means a lot,” she says.
Mike recites vows he wrote himself, which surprises Selena. She tells him, “Today, I give you my heart fully, faithfully, and forever.” After the minister declares them husband and wife, Selena says becoming Mrs. Folks is everything she dreamed of.
However, the caterer is missing when more than 100 hungry guests are ready to eat. Selena learns the food may not arrive until 7 p.m., although it was supposed to be there earlier. “I don’t know what to do right now. I’m in a frenzy,” she says.
Despite her anger, Selena refuses to let the problem ruin her celebration. She says, “I’ll be damned if the caterer and us not having no food is going to mess up the rest of my wedding.”

The Collective helps Selena save her wedding reception.
As the reception crisis unfolds, Lateshia notices the empty catering table and decides the group must act quickly. She feared Selena’s last-minute planning could cause a problem. Still, Lateshia assures her, “The Collective is going to help you.”
The food eventually arrives, and the women carry it inside through the rain. Once the guests begin lining up to eat, Lateshia says the moment shows what sisterhood means. “If we see an issue, we don’t have to broadcast that issue. We just jump in and fix it,” she says.
Selena gives the wedding a 10 out of 10 despite the catering delay. She feels the love and support from everyone in attendance. Mike’s surprise vows are especially meaningful to her. “It’s just something that I would cherish forever,” Selena says.
