No shows. Teresa Giudice and Luis “Louie” Ruelas had a huge wedding ceremony on Saturday, August 6, but some familiar faces weren’t seen in the crowd.“I’m inviting a lot of Housewives. … We’ll see who comes and who can make it and who can’t make it,” the bride, 50, exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “I got a lot done [so far]. … [Luis is] very hands-on [too] and that’s what I love.”Among the wedding guests were the bride’s Real Housewives of New Jersey costars Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs and Jackie Goldschneider.
Real Housewives of New York City alum Dorinda Medley, Real Housewives of Dubai star Chanel Ayan and Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby attended as well.
