Kristen Doute is heading toward her happily ever after, finally. And this time, it just might stick. Gone are the days are slimy model/DJ boyfriends. With her The Valley redemption arc in full swing and Luke Broderick by her side (plus two dogs and a baby), the only thing missing from this chaotic love story is a Bravo-blessed wedding.
While Kristen and Luke haven’t officially announced a wedding date (yet), let’s be honest, this is Kristen we’ve been waiting to see. If there’s a wedding on the horizon, it’s destined to be dramatic, emotional, and full of former SURvers sipping champagne while side-eying each other. So, in true Reality Tea fashion, we’re predicting everything from the bridesmaids to the guest list and, yes, even the venue vibes.
The Valley’s Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick wedding predictions
Kristen has never done anything halfway. From her iconic messiness on Vanderpump Rules to her surprising glow-up on The Valley, Kristen is someone who goes big or goes home. With her and Luke finally deciding to tie the knot, fans should expect a wedding that blends her boho aesthetic with his outdoorsy, unbothered energy. Think rustic chic with a side of tequila shots and emotional toasts. Let’s break down what we think Kristen and Luke’s big day could look like, from who’s standing by her side to who might be left off the guest list entirely.
Who will be Kristen Doute’s bridesmaids?
First things first: bridesmaids. Kristen’s inner circle has shifted more times than her skincare routine, but a few people feel like obvious picks. Brittany Cartwright is practically a lock, especially if the Jax Taylor and Brittany split is still on by the time save-the-dates go out. Brittany has been one of Kristen’s most loyal friends post-Vanderpump, she’ll look adorable in any bridesmaid dress. I also think we will see Nia Sanchez standing next to Kristen on her big day. These two have grown closer in The Valley. And Nia has proven she’s ride-or-die, even when Kristen is spiraling over something minor.
As for some VPR OGs, I don’t think Stassi Schroeder would be caught dead in a boho bridesmaid dress. But you never know. Their friendship has fluctuated like a Bravo ratings chart. If they’re in a good place, which they currently are, Stassi could make an appearance. But don’t expect her to settle for matching dresses or group activities unless she’s fully in control of the aesthetic. And as for Katie Maloney, my guess is it would be highly unlikely. The ties from VPR are thin these days, and unless a reconciliation happens off-camera, it doesn’t feel like she’ll be in the wedding party (or even in the room).
Which The Valley cast members will be invited?
The guest list is where things get spicy. Kristen and Luke’s wedding would be The Valley’s first unofficial cast reunion, so expect Bravo cameras to be rolling. Zack Wickham has been Kristen’s confidante from day one and is definitely getting an invite. He might even be the one organizing the bachelorette party with themed outfits and lots of espresso martinis. Jason Caperna and Janet Caperna might be on guest list B or C since they are feuding at the moment. Even though Jax has been an absolute pill, he will get an invite. The duo have been through too much to be ignored. He and Luke have had some tense moments, and Kristen might not want to risk Jax making the reception about himself. But I think Jax will get an invite just not a plus one.
Jesse Lally will absolutely be given an invite. As will Michelle Saniei. However, they won’t be sat at the same table. Things between Kristen and Michelle have been shaky, but weddings are the perfect time to rebuild bridges.
Could Luke Broderick push for an outdoorsy wedding?
A wedding takes two. A groom and a bride. Let’s not forget that Luke is not exactly a tuxedo-and-ballroom type of guy. This is a man who thrives in nature, drinks kombucha unironically and probably has strong opinions about composting. If he has his way, the wedding might take place in a forest clearing, complete with mason jars, acoustic guitars, and a dog ring-bearer. Kristen, on the other hand, loves a vibe. She might push for a ceremony in Topanga Canyon or somewhere equally earthy but elevated. Picture lots of grass, vintage rugs, and a signature cocktail. The likely compromise? A dreamy outdoor venue with plenty of room for both flower crowns and fire pits. Kristen gets her Pinterest moment, and Luke gets to wear linen.
The Valley is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
