Real Housewives of Orange County alum Alexis Bellino tied the knot with John Janssen on October 3. Plenty of naysayers doubted that the couple would make it down the aisle. But Alexis and “Johnny J” proved everyone wrong!
Alexis and John’s wedding wasn’t without drama. She disinvited RHOC star Jennifer Pedranti from the nuptials. While Jenn received a “save the date” for the festivities, she didn’t receive an invitation. After Alexis had a medical emergency, Jenn never checked in with the bride-to-be. So, she was removed from the guest list. However, it sounds like Alexis and John’s wedding and reception were an unforgettable affair.
Alexis Bellino and John Janssen’s “intimate” wedding took place at a “breathtaking” venue
As you may recall, John popped the question in August 2024 after nine months of dating. He formerly dated RHOC star Shannon Beador. The couple said “I do” in front of 140 guests.
“We envisioned a dreamy, romantic, rustic chic vibe with earthy elegance,” Alexis told PEOPLE. “Our venue gave us that perfect mix of natural beauty and privacy, nestled between the canyon and the sea. It felt like we were celebrating in a secret garden by the ocean.” The bride described the venue as “breathtaking.”
As for Alexis’ wedding dress? “We created a timeless, elegant dress, but I did not want to wear white,” Alexis shared. The gown was designed by the Creative Director and Designer of DiKaSa Bridal Couture, Julie Hurt.
The bride also wore a metal garter with a cross. Alexis stated, “It was a sacred, personal touch I’ll cherish forever.” She changed into two other looks later in the evening. Plus, the duo had their first dance as man and wife to Sonny and Cher’s hit, I Got You, Babe.
“This wedding was absolutely a dream come true. Emotional, joyful, sacred, and so us,” Alexis explained. “Truly the most magical day of our lives.”
Congratulations, Alexis and John!
