Two brides, two grooms, two lavish weddings, and a whole lot of planning to go. That's the case with BFFs Niecy Nash and Sherri Shepherd, who will serve as bridesmaids in one another's upcoming nuptials.

At her Glamtastic bridal shower over the weekend, Niecy confessed she has yet to choose a bridal gown to accentuate the jiggly bits she made famous on "Dancing with the Stars." "I don't know how many dresses I might wear," the soon-to-be Mrs. admitted. "Three, maybe four." Also on the lengthy to-do list is booking a honeymoon. She wants "to work on my tan and snorkel" on her romantic getaway.

Niecy wouldn't mind the royal treatment for her big day. "I don't know if Kate Middleton is finished working with her people to get her together, but maybe she can let me borrow so they can get me together," she said in hopes of enlisting extra help.

A tinge of jealously sealed the deal between Niecy and fiancé Jay Tucker. "When Jay and I first met I didn't know he was the man I was going to marry until I saw him talking to another girl," she said. The happy couple also played the role of matchmakers for bride-to-be Sherri of "The View."

"The Talk"'s Holly Robinson Peete believes "everything is just aligned for this union" between Niecy and Jay. Sherri agrees that the groom "complements" her girlfriend. Niecy lit up at the end of her shower when her fiancé surprised her with a large bouquet of roses.

The "Glamtastic" themed shower was designed, catered and planned by Event Planner, William P. Miller, owner of W.P. Miller Special Events on the beautiful grounds of a lush Los Angeles mansion. The design included a custom canopy and specialty table linens accented with flowers provided by Eddie Zaratsian, creative director of Tic-Tock Couture Florals. Guest enjoyed spirits by Remy Martin's newest spirit "V" and spa services provided by Salon 180 Beauty Lounge. Niecy and Jay's wedding will be broadcast in a TLC special shortly after the May affair.
