Erica Rose has finally found her happily ever after!
The Bachelor alum married Charles Sanders in Houston, Tex. on Sunday, E! News can confirm. Plenty members of Bachelor Nation attended her lavish nuptials, including Vienna Girardi, AshLee Frazier Williams and even Prince Lorenzo Borghese, who was the Bachelor on Erica’s season.
The newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Sanders tied the knot in a traditional Jewish ceremony at temple Emanu El, a source told E! News exclusively.
A source tells E! News exclusively, “Erica’s father walked her down the aisle while Erica held her daughter Holland in her arms as they approached the Chupah.”
A first, more formal cocktail reception held at their synagogue featured a string quartet and harpist. Erica and Charles’ family and friends then gathered for a second reception at a vintage converted movie theater called the Majestic Metro.
Our source said the “totally non-traditional” and “fun” celebration was Studio 54-themed, and guests were able to walk a red carpet before heading in.

Other Bachelor Nation attendees included Holly Julian, Blake Durst, Sadie Murray, Jamie Otis Hehner, Kasey Kahl, Renee Simlak and Melissa Schreiber.
We’re told wedding guests were able to take snap pictures in a photo booth, in addition to a caricature artists and poet writing custom poetry for Erica and Charles’ loved ones. Inspired by The Real Housewives, the stunning bride also opted to serve cotton candy martinis and had an impressive three different cakes.
And speaking of the star of the evening, our insider shared that Erica wore a wedding gown, veil and tiara by Ventura Bridal and her second dress for the reception was custom designed by her close friend, Alex Martinez.
Erica’s 1-year-old daughter Holland also played a special role in the ceremony. The mother-daughter performed a special dance to “Cecelia and the Satellite” by Andrew McMahon, and her new stepfather also did a dance to John Mayer‘s “Daughters.” Husband and wife’s first dance was to Jason Mraz‘s “I Won’t Give Up,” we’re told.
Erica and Charles’ lavish wedding was held just over two months after E! News exclusively revealed they were engaged.
Up next for the couple, they’re headed to Belize for a honeymoon in the sun.
Erica rose to fame after competing for Prince Lorenzo Borghese’s heart during The Bachelor‘s ninth season in 2006. She later appeared on two seasons of Bachelor Pad’s second and third seasons in 2011 and 2012, as well as VH1’s reality series You’re Cut Off!.
Congratulations to the newly minted husband and wife!
