Alexis Bellino celebrated her bridal shower on Sunday, surrounded by her close friends and family, including Tamra Judge, Jo De La Rosa, and her daughter, Mackenna.

Ahead of her upcoming wedding to John Janssen, 62, which is expected to take place sometime later this year, the 48-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County alum posted a series of images of herself sporting a white cut-out, two-piece outfit as she showed off her engagement ring and posed for photos with her friends.

“The Wow Before the Vow because the wedding is fast approaching!!!! I’ve always said there is nothing traditional in this upcoming wedding, including my bridal shower!!!” Alexis wrote in the caption of an August 17 post. “Think about it… We all got ‘jeweled’ instead of doing a fancy lunch or sit down!!! This included permanent bracelets, ear piercings, necklaces…all jewels you can imagine. This jewelry will last longer than any sushi or caviar!!!! Many loved friends and family were not included in these photos however there there was a ton of love spread throughout the day @trulyblessedjewels! This was the BEST DAY!!!!!”

In a second post, shared to her Instagram Story, Alexis smiled for a pic with Jo, 44.

Over on Tamra’s page, she shared a photo of herself, Alexis, and Heather Amin, who has been named in past RHOC casting rumors, along with several others from Alexis’ bash.

“Celebrating our gorgeous friend [Alexis Bellino] … Thankful for our friendship and so excited for this next chapter,” Tamra captioned the post.

Earlier this summer, despite rumors claiming John, who previously dated Shannon Beador, 61, had gotten caught “texting a younger woman,” Alexis confirmed she and John were A-okay and headed to Alaska for a “honeymoon.”

“Hi guys, although we are not breaking up like you’ve heard, we are getting ready for an Alaskan cruise,” she shared. “We’re super excited. It’s our pre-wedding, let’s say, honeymoon kind of cruise because we probably won’t be enjoying a honeymoon after, we’re way too busy after that.”
