Alexis Bellino and her fiancé, John Janssen, are so close to walking down the aisle. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum and her beau have been engaged for over a year, and they are now in the final stage of planning their wedding, before getting to say “I do.”
The mom of three took to Instagram on Sept. 1, where she posted a photo of herself hanging out on a boat in a white bikini with John by her side. Although the couple looked so relaxed and happy to be out on the water, Alexis revealed that they were just taking a temporary break from the wedding planning process.Â
“Quick one hour boat escape,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Now back to details and deadlines for wedding on top of working our car shop tomorrow!!”
It appears that just one of those details is working out together. Alexis also took to her Instagram Story, where posted a photo of her and John, lifting weights at their gym.Â
“Just preppin for the aisle,” she wrote over the photo, along with three white heart emojis.
Alexis Bellino opens up about her bridal shower
The future Mrs. Janssen has been very open about how her wedding is going to be untraditional (more on that down below). She continued this streak of doing things her way by having her bridal shower at a jewelry store in Newport Beach.
Alexis took to Instagram on Aug. 18, where she posted a Reel from her fun filled shower. Alexis was showered by so much love with appearances from guests like her daughter, Mackenna Bellino, as well as Tamra Judge, Jo De La Rosa, and The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys‘ Galyna Saltkovska.

“The Wow Before the Vow because the wedding is fast approaching!!!!” Alexis wrote in the caption of the post. “I’ve always said there is nothing traditional in this upcoming wedding, including my bridal shower!!! Think about it…we all got ‘jeweled’ instead of doing fancy lunch or sit down!!! This included permanent jewelry, ear piercings, 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 was a ton of love spread throughout the day,” she noted. “This was the BEST DAY!!!!”
