It’s Luann de Lesseps Wedding Day! Plus A Bit of #RHONY Filming Scoop

December 31, 2016 by tamaratattles 43 Comments

The big day is finally here! No, not New Year’s Eve, I’ll get to that in another post. It’s Luann de Lesseps Wedding Day!  If there is one person on earth that actually enjoyed this year, it’s Luann. The happy couple has been on numerous vacations this year and seem blissfully happy together. It’s also Tom’s birthday and  of course NYE so there is a lot of celebrating going on down in Palm Beach.

The only current RHONY on the invitation list is Dorinda, who is also a bridesmaid. Dorinda is credited for introducing the two.  Besides all of that, if Luann had not invited her everyone would have wandered around asking, “What are you doing here without Dorinda?”  Well, I would have anyway. I’m sure Dorinda will make it nice.

Former RHONY Jill Zarin along with her husband Bobby will also be in attendance. It seems this couple has decided to be snowbirds and take up a winter residence in Boca Raton. Jill will be near her parents there and Bobby will have a warm climate in which to convalesce. Sadly, Bobby’s cancer is back again and this time it has gone to his brain. Jill is being very brave and keeping a positive attitude as well as keeping very busy.  She recently spent five days in Cuba on a girls trip while Bobby spent time with his daughter. It seems she is now ready to settle down with family and spend the winter with her family.

Oh, one more thing about Jill. I can finally confirm that she did shoot a scene for the upcoming RHONY season.  She and Bobby, Luann and Tom and Dorinda and John all went to dinner at Phillipe in Manhattan. It’s a very expensive Chinese place.  The scene was to discuss the upcoming adventures in Florida.

Cynthia announce this dress as the one she found to wear to the wedding.

Also in town, and oddly staying with Jill is RHOA Cynthia Bailey. She has been in Boca for a few days now hanging out while Noelle is with Leon. Noelle and Leon went on a trip to Jamaica and are now skiing in Aspen. Now that’s the life!

The another housewife who received an invite was Marysol Patton from RHOM. Because everyone loves Marysol.  The photos are from the rehearsal dinner last night and I didn’t spy Marysol there but she is expected at the ceremony and reception. Marysol had other parties to attend in Miami last night. Because, social butterfly.

Oh I forgot Kelly Bensimon. She was invited as well.  She came down about a week ago and has been staying all over the Miami area from Boca to South Beach. So she brings out housewife total to five.

The Count, Luann’s prior husband, was extended an invitation and sent his regrets. That would have been kind of weird.  Do people really invite their exes to their future weddings?  They remain good friends though so it makes sense in that way.

That’s the scoop on the invite list. As I said, I do not believe the wedding itself will be filmed. I’m not sure if any of it will be filmed at all.  There is an all-cast wedding celebration planned for immediately after the couple returns from their Bahamian honey in NYC. This is where the bitches will get ugly and Luann will not care one whit.

I will keep you updated with photos as they begin to be posted. Probably a good post for tomorrow.

Edited to Add: There likely won’t be any camera’s allowed at the actual ceremony because Lu has sold the rights to People Magazine. Page Six is saying that Bravo is pissed that Lu didn’t allow cameras there, but this is not true. Lu told Andy straight up she wasn’t going to have a fiasco of a housewives wedding. He understood. I am sure she will provide the footage she wants to share with Bravo and we will get to see some of it anyway. I think Lu is smart for keeping control over her big day and not letting Bravo ruin it with stupid scripted stuff.

I LOVE this photo of Luann. She’s beaming and glowing and happy. She looks 20 years younger. #Winning

    I’m genuinely excited for her! She is GLOWING in all her IG posts. I usually don’t leave comments for celebrities I follow on IG, but in this case I couldn’t resist, so I wished her joy. ?

      Jill Zarin loves it. I’m sure she was responsible for booking the place for her free dinner, Also the Chef is sort of a media whore from what I have seen and Jill has worked with him previously to forward their mutual desires for TV time.

        I’ve been in NYC and in Miami. Miami was a total shit show – so bad it was almost funny. NYC is an ok space but I’ve always thought the food was kind of pedestrian for all the hype. There is way better fancy pants Chinese in NYC.

    Kelly Bensimon. Well that explains some of Bethenny’s attitude towards Lu.
    Hope she keeps doing the happy dance in front of those envious bitches this year. Best part of last season.

    Thank you for keeping us up on the Lu news. I am so happy that this was not a Bravo occasion where Lu would have had to have some of her viper cast mates in attendance. Also, the news of Bobby is terrible. While I never liked Jill, Bobby was alays a great guy.

    Good for her only inviting people who support her, and want to see her happy.

    I’m sure Bethenny will have something negative to say re Jill, and. Kelly being at the wedding.

      I can’t wait to see lots of photos when they come out, but I’m also glad this won’t be part of a Bravo Production, considering how a huge chunk of the last RHONY season was targeted at dumping all over Luann’s happiness. Also, glad it sounds like she chose not to have Ramona or Sonja there after they acted like two complete ninnies over Tom.

      The will probably rent at house. They will be going on on a private yacht. They may even just stay on that. Or they could slum it in a private suite at Valentine’s on Harbour Island. But I feel like they will rent a fancy house on the beach with a good deep water dock and just be together.

      That said, the will probably have had enough of each other by the second or third day, so watch for them i casinos and send me photos!!!

    Does anyone actually applaud that choice of wedding dress? You can see her underwear line and teeny hip fat roll through the knit. She has a toned body, but that dress did her no favors.

    Wow. I was hoping that wasn’t her wedding dress! I don’t believe I’d be seen walking from my front door to the mailbox in that thing. The fabric looks cheap and the dress just doesn’t seem well-cut. She is pretty and looks very happy – wish the dress had done her justice. Congratulations, Countess!

    I wonder if Jill will be in any other scenes. I noticed on her Instagram a few months back that she seemed to be the one throwing Luanne her bridal shower down in Florida. It’s terrible about Bobby…I don’t even want to think about it.

      They meet each other at the up-fronts and other Bravo events. Some of them become friends. Like Kyle & Caroline Stanbury for example.

    Luanne and Tom both look very happy. She is beautiful. Best wishes to the bride and congratulations to the groom. I hope the other housewives are sorry for their adolescent behavior. They are a sad lot. I hope Luanne and Tom’s happiness makes them all pea green with envy.

    I love the countess. She keeps it real. She is also very self absorved.which makes her witty and funny. I like the fact she invited obviously, only those with whom she has a relationship with. Outside of tv land. The fact that it wasn’t a bravo fiasco. She loves him. !!

    Congrats to the happy couple! Lu is glowing! Wish I knew her secret to the fountain of youth. So nice to read happy news to start the new year off! Congrats to Tom as well… happy birthday to boot! Thanks for the pictures, TT. I don’t do social media so it’s a treat to see these two radiating with joy and looking fabulous! They have risen above all the haters and deserve all the best! I guess money can buy you class in this scenario. Ha! Winning!

    I am, however, sad to hear about Bobby. My heart goes out to both he and Jill and their daughter.
