Why Filming Alexis Bellino’s Wedding to John Janssen is a Must for Bravo Fans

I absolutely love wedding season. The grandeur and excitement often make it the perfect backdrop for a Real Housewives storyline. And now, Real Housewives of Orange County alum Alexis Bellino is back with a bang—engaged to her soulmate, Johnny J Janssen. First of all, congratulations to the happy couple! But the big question is: could this mean a Bravo wedding special is in the works? Fingers crossed!

John Janssen Pops the Question to Alexis Bellino

After just nine months of dating, John decided to take the plunge, proposing to Alexis at San Ysidro Ranch during their anniversary celebration in August. Alexis couldn’t wait to share the happy moment with fans on Instagram, posting a sweet photo of the two. In her heartfelt caption, she wrote, “On Cloud 9 celebrating 9 months of love and laughter, and looking forward to my forever with you. Every moment together has been a gift. I am so in love with you and the beautiful life we’re building together with our kids. And the answer is 100000000% yes.” She even included a special Bible verse for good measure: “1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Despite their whirlwind romance, Alexis and John have faced their share of drama since making their relationship public in November 2023. Still, Alexis has been fiercely loyal to her new love, bringing a tenacious energy that’s both endearing and inspiring. Even though Shannon Beador may feel a bit left out, there’s no denying that this relationship could be the real thing. So why not celebrate their happiness—and look forward to what could be the wedding event of the century?

Alexis Bellino and John Janssen Are Planning a Unique Wedding

In an interview with Bravo, Alexis revealed that their upcoming wedding will be far from traditional, hinting at some “creative” touches. I’m all for an unconventional wedding—it’s a great way for the couple to show off their personalities. Alexis, who stars on Real Housewives of Orange County, is aiming for a summer 2025 wedding, which means the planning process needs to kick into high gear if she wants everything to be just right. “We’re not doing a typical wedding. We’re changing it up; we have a couple of creative ideas,” she shared.

So, what does she have in mind? Alexis is known for her big dreams, which makes her so much fun to watch on the show. It wouldn’t be surprising if she and John opted for a non-traditional first dance, like a fiery and passionate Pasodoble. Or perhaps they’ll forgo some of the usual wedding customs, like tossing the bouquet. One thing’s for sure, their kids will likely play a special role in the ceremony, adding a touch of emotion that’s sure to tug at the heartstrings.

Could Alexis Bellino Be the Perfect Bridezilla?

Remember the show Bridezillas on Lifetime? It was always a treat to watch brides lose their cool over the tiniest details, like an imaginary stain on their dresses. Imagine if Bravo decided to film Alexis during her wedding preparations—it would make for some must-watch TV! As of now, Alexis and John haven’t settled on a venue or made any solid plans, which could become a source of stress for a bride with a very clear vision in mind. Alexis confessed to Bravo, “I don’t know the dress style yet. I’m not wearing a wedding dress. I’m not walking down an aisle.” One can almost sense the tension from a future wedding planner. However, she did share that her son, James, will be the one to give her away.

But as the saying goes, the rest is still unwritten. Every bride starts off calm, cool, and collected, but as the big day approaches, things tend to get a little chaotic. Here’s hoping that Bravo will capture every moment of Alexis and John’s wedding day because fans won’t want to miss a single second. Even with the potential for drama, I have no doubt that Alexis will make a stunning bride. And who wouldn’t want to see if John will don his signature Ferragamo shoes for the occasion?
