Alexis Bellino of The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a> and John Janssen tied the knot on Friday, October 3, in an intimate Laguna Beach ceremony surrounded by loved ones.<\/p>\n

About 140 of the couple\u2019s closest family and friends were in attendance, including RHOC stars Tamra Judge<\/a>, Jo De La Rosa, and Heather Amin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Janssen had previously dated RHOC star Shannon Beador,<\/a> adding an extra layer of Bravo drama to the guest list.<\/p>\n

‘We envisioned a dreamy, romantic, rustic chic vibe with earthy elegance,’ Bellino, 48, told People<\/a> the following day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She immediately knew the venue was perfect when she stepped out of her car for the first time and ‘immediately felt the presence’ of her late mother, Penelope, who passed away in August 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The setting also captivated her with its intimate atmosphere.<\/p>\n

About 140 of the couple\u2019s closest family and friends were in attendance, including RHOC stars Tamra Judge , Jo De La Rosa, and Heather Amin<\/p>\n

‘Our venue gave us that perfect mix of natural beauty and privacy, nestled between the canyon and the sea,’ she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It felt like we were celebrating in a secret garden by the ocean.’<\/p>\n

The celebration was packed with over-the-top touches, from a \u201cfabulous\u201d DJ and rock violinist to a custom rap performed by their private chef Mac Noodlez.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests were also treated to a magician from the Magic Castle and a Rancher Hat Bar station where they could design their own custom hats.<\/p>\n

‘We wanted the vibe of an intimate, unique ceremony followed by evolving entertainment throughout the evening and surprises for our guests around every corner!’ Bellino shared with People.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Also, excellent food, exceptional music and entertainment that would keep the guests wondering what comes next! We wanted moments that felt like us.’<\/p>\n

The festivities stretched across the weekend with a welcome dinner on October 2 and a gourmet farewell brunch on October 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We wanted every moment to be about connection and celebration,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the big day, Bellino couldn\u2019t have been more thrilled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This wedding was absolutely a dream come true,\u201d she told the outlet. ‘Emotional, joyful, sacred, and so us. Truly the most magical day of our lives.’<\/p>\n

Bellino and Janssen first fueled romance rumors in December 2023 after being introduced by mutual friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair later made their official red carpet debut in March 2024 at the DirecTV Oscars Viewing Party in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The Bravo star admitted she was hesitant to share the relationship publicly at first, not wanting to hide her feelings for a man who brought her so much happiness.<\/p>\n

‘I was a little bit nervous, but it\u2019s because we\u2019ve been so judged by our relationship,\u201d Bellino told Us<\/a> at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It started as a friendship, formed into more, and here we are. [And] social media really can be very evil. So it\u2019s been a lot, but now we just finally decided we\u2019re taking the bull by the horns and going full force.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, the couple focused on each other and their family, refusing to let negativity take over.<\/p>\n

‘To the haters, I feel as if I always looked at John and we would be staring into each other\u2019s eyes, crying, both of us, distraught by how much we were hated for a love story that\u2019s actually pretty powerful, impactful and amazing,’ Bellino explained to Us in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We would just say, \u2018Time will show. Stand the test of time.\u2019 And what is marriage? Standing the test of time. Because guess what? If you can find love and still build on everything when you are at rock bottom and the most hated and come on top? That\u2019s because it\u2019s a real and true story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexis Bellino of The Real Housewives of Orange County and John Janssen tied the knot on Friday, October…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":277857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[211,171,28231,28234,6260,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-277856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-real-housewives-of-orange-county","11":"tag-tamra-judge","12":"tag-tvshowbiz","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115317587732688277","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
