Alexis Bellino Says Her Wedding Dress Will Leave John ‘Dead’ & Opens Up About Unconventional Wedding

RHOC alum Alexis Bellino spotted out with Shannon Beador's ex John Janssen

Wedding season just got a little more exciting—Alexis Bellino, best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Orange County, is preparing to tie the knot with fiancé John Janssen in what promises to be a wedding full of surprises and personal touches.

The reality star, who got engaged to John in August 2024, recently gave fans a glimpse of the wedding planning process on her Instagram Story. She shared a snap of their elegant gold-and-white “save the date” card, nestled against a bouquet of soft pink tulips. While the card kept details like the date and location under wraps, Alexis did tease that things are “getting real.”

A Non-Traditional Celebration

Alexis has been clear that she’s not walking down a cookie-cutter aisle. In fact, she’s going completely off-script for this wedding. She revealed to People in April that she and John are planning a “very unconventional” ceremony with no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Both having been married before, the couple is opting for something that better reflects who they are now.

In a previous chat with BravoTV.com, Alexis hinted at some creative wedding-day elements: “We’re not doing a typical wedding… we have a couple [of] creative ideas.”

Despite the non-traditional approach, it’s shaping up to be a pretty full house. The guest list already sits at around 80—mostly made up of close friends and family—and Alexis expects they may creep toward the 100 mark.

The Dress: Bold, Unique, and Perfectly “Her”

While Alexis Bellino is keeping most of the day’s details under wraps, she has revealed one tantalizing tidbit: the dress. Describing it as “unconventional, head to toe,” she shared that the gown fully embodies the spirit of the wedding. According to Alexis, it’s so stunning it might just leave John speechless: “He’s going to die when he sees me.”

Even her friends—like fellow RHOC alum Jo De La Rosa—were surprised when they saw her in the gown. “They also had seen my vision and what I chose is a little bit of my vision, but it is me, and it is exactly perfect for my wedding,” she said.

A Summer 2025 Affair

While the exact wedding date hasn’t been revealed, Alexis has confirmed it will happen in the summer of 2025. With save-the-dates already going out, the countdown is officially on.

She sent out a save the date announcement but kept the date under wraps? A mental giant, this one!

Why would anyone spend an exuberant amount of money on any second wedding? Their not having a typical wedding but are having 80-100 guests come and celebrate their second round at the altar. Makes perfect sense. Hmmm. I wonder if Alexis has co-designed her wedding ensemble with a ghost designer… Regardless. Best of luck.

I usually pass on wedding invites, and don't even entertain the thought with SECOND weddings. The entire ritual seems so archaic and weird to me.

That would suck if Shannon accidentally found a can of red paint nearby …

I can only imagine the tacky display of whorishness that is sure to be the abomination of that dress!!! ??? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6def978245751a7ee0853aa62e63b3614e7766d5e928b1c1c89b2c23dfe534d.gif

I wasn't aware she was even engaged. Alexis knows she's no longer on the show right?

She will get her moment. The others will be invited in order for her wedding to be seen. I don't think anyone cares enough for a full show. And nothing will ever beat Teresa Guidice's wedding dress and hair (just realized she never changed her name).

I'm sure that's true ... fortunately we will be spared since filming will be long over with.
