Erica Mena, Bow Wow to wed in April 2015

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Erica Mena and fiancé Bow Wow will wed in April 2015.

The reality star and rapper, both 27, announced the news Wednesday on Instagram. Bow Wow, born Shad Moss, posted a photo of Mena in an ivory dress with cutout detail, and captioned the picture, "The date is set. April 2015. #MRANDMRSMOSS."

Mena posted snapshots of herself in the same gown on her account, but did not reference the wedding date. The dress was designed by Project Runway season eight finalist Michael Costello.

Mena and Bow Wow have been together since spring, and announced their engagement at the 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards in September. Bow Wow threw a lavish birthday party for his fiancée earlier this month, and gifted the reality star with a Rolls Royce and expensive jewelry.

Mena has appeared on VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop since 2011. She is slated to return for a fifth season in 2015, but said Bow Wow will not take part in order to protect their relationship. The rapper currently hosts 106 & Park on BET, and will star on CSI spinoff CSI: Cyber.
