“I will,” said Alexis Bellino.
The former star of “Real Housewives of Orange County” married John Jansen at a charming, rustic venue in Laguna Beach, California, surrounded by 140 close family and friends last Friday.
“We envisioned a dreamy, romantic, rustic chic vibe with elegance,” Bellino noted about the venue. “It offered a perfect blend of natural beauty and privacy, making it feel like we were in a secret garden by the sea.”
To match the venue’s “fuzzy essence,” guests were encouraged to dress in “light and rustic tones,” while black was highly discouraged.
Bellino, at 48, wore a custom nude gown adorned with jewels, created over six months by Julie Hurt, the owner of Modern Bride. Underneath, she added a custom metal garter featuring a delicate cross, crafted by Lisa Valenzuela, which she described as a “sacred and personal touch that I will cherish forever.”
Some of her “RHOC” co-stars, including Tamra Judge and Jo de La Rosa, were there to celebrate, while she chose to exclude her co-star Jennifer Pedranti after not receiving confirmation of attendance.
A source mentioned that Pedranti missed the opportunity to reach out during a difficult time for Bellino, who had just undergone unexpected emergency surgery.
Interestingly, Janssen previously dated Bellino’s co-star Shannon Bieder for three years until they split in 2023. After a nine-month courtship, he proposed to Bellino in August 2024.
Bellino was previously married to Jeff Barry from 2002 to 2004 and to Jim Bellino from 2005 to 2018, with whom she shares her son James, 17, and twins McKenna and Miles, 16. Janssen, who is a father to three adult children from a previous marriage, now embarks on this new chapter with Bellino.
