As everyone got wrapped up in Teresa’s love bubble after snatching the love of her life, Luis Ruelas, it’s not surprising to find their ending in a wedding. But as explosive as the Real Housewives of Jersey’s Teresa Giudice has been, the next step has not let fans down.
If you have been following the RHONJ star, you may know that she has tied the knot in a wedding that was befitting their love story. Here’s the dish on how that weekend wedding went down.
Is Teresa Giudice Getting Married?
The short answer is yes, after an entire season’s worth of battling with Marge about her man. During the wedding, which was held last August 6 at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens in New Jersey. Over 200 guests attended the wedding, and bore witness to the union of the love storm of flurry that the couple went through.
More than the love story, what’s captivating about Teresa Giudice’s wedding is the entire set itself. For starters, her four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana were by her side as her bridesmaids. A lot of the guests themselves are familiar faces for those who keep up with the show.
Luis, the groom, also had two of his sons with him at the ceremony. As Teresa walked down the aisle, everyone could not help but look at her dress, which was designed by Mark Zunino. As if its swooping mermaid silhouette was not enough, the subtle blush tones and hand-draped English netting transformed Teresa into the blushing bride that she was.
One of the major highlights of Teresa’s wedding look had to be her hair. At first, it’s hard to miss the crown, which served as her headdress highlight. This connected to her train veil and held together Teresa’s long locks and extensions, all of which flowed down her back in a dramatic finish.
Teresa Giudice’s Engagement
As divine as the ceremony was, there’s no denying that her engagement and wedding rings stand strong next to Teresa Giudice’s wedding. Since the engagement, and because of their whirlwind romance, many fans have asked the question, “When did Teresa Giudice get married?”
When the couple decided to make their long-term plans official, Ruelas popped the question with a massive oval-cut engagement ring last year. In a classic dinner by candlelight fashion, the digital company asked the question with the 8-carat ring. Some ring experts pegged the ring to be somewhere around $300,000 at least, without yet knowing the exact quality of the stone. Other jewelry experts gave a higher estimate of up to 10 carats and $1,000,000 worth, considering the size of the ring.
The ring’s style stayed true to what was fashionable at the time: an oval-cut diamond centerpiece surrounded by a pave setting. But even the surrounding stones are nothing to scoff at, as they appear to be chunkier than your typical pave stone settings.
A year after that, Giudice may be looking at a new addition to her jewelry collection. However, more details have yet to surface about her wedding ring. But everyone may be able to guess Giudice’s style by now. Her engagement ring exudes high fashion with a traditional shape. Perhaps fans can expect the wedding band to be the same.
Who Did Teresa Marry?
If you don’t subscribe to RHONJ, then you may be wondering who Teresa’s groom is. Many know Giudice’s first marriage almost for two decades with Joe Giudice. He also starred in RHONJ, but has become a TV personality in other shows since.
Following the couple’s split back in 2019, Teresa dated Luis Ruelas, a businessman and co-founder of Digital Media Solutions. Not only that, Ruelas is also a philanthropist. Since he and Teresa started going out, they first moved into their $3.4 million New Jersey mansion. In less than a year after that, the pair got hitched.
At the wedding, Ruelas kept it simple but elegant in a white blazer matched with black pants and bowtie. His gentlemanly appearance was a good complement to Giudice’s overall look.
Based on the photos, the outdoor ceremony still remained intimate for the guests, despite the headcount. Giudice’s flowing fairytale gown had the perfect backdrop: the gorgeous outdoor setting. The pastel ensemble of the bride and bridesmaids stood out as the star of the ceremony. Fresh white flowers lined the aisle and freshened the wedding’s entire mood.
It’s far from the finish line for Giudice and Ruelas’ romance. It’s more like the couple may just have achieved a milestone. Hopefully, it will continue on to brighter days ahead for the pair.
