They eloped and reached Vegas and Bria decided to inform her mother Jennifer of the step she was taking. The latter once again attempted to stop her from doing so but Bria was determined and she would have walked down the aisle if it weren't for her father Big Mike who expressed a wish to walk her down the aisle himself.
