She shared a sexy detail about a tip she got from a member of her bridal court, Dancing with the Stars alum Niecy Nash.
"One of my bridesmaids, I think it was Niecy ... said, 'Don't wear any underwear,’" Shepherd said. "They knew me and Sal had been celibate for 11 months, so anything I could do to get him turned back on was encouraged."

That might have been all well and good -- if TV cameras weren't rolling on a Style Network special. At one point, Shepherd said, her mic fell down her back, and network workers began lifting her dress to find the missing mic.
"And I'm screaming, 'No, I have no panties on!'" Shepherd said. "And one bridesmaid thought I kept screaming, 'My pancreas! My pancreas!'"
Her colleague on the panel, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, served as a bridesmaid. Hasselbeck joked she "was ready to slap" Shepherd during the hilarious sequence.
