Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas are in enjoying their honeymoon after The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars tied the knot in a lavish ceremony.
Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas jetted out to Greece to enjoy their honeymoon after The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple had their lavish wedding earlier this month. Teresa and Luis exchanged their vows in front of family and friends in East Bushwick, New Jersey. The wedding was attended by several familiar faces from all franchises, but one couple was noticeably absent. Teresa's brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Melissa Gorga became a trending topic after skipping out on attending Teresa's wedding. The pair revealed an explosive fight that happened ahead of the nuptials, which led to their decision to miss the event.
It was the latest jab in the Giudice and Gorga family feud. In addition to drama with Joe and Melissa, Teresa had her longtime BFF Dina "Manzo" Cantin also opt-out of being in the wedding. Dina was reportedly expected to serve as one of Teresa's bridesmaids. However, in the month leading up to the nuptials, sources revealed Dina dropped out. While the exact reasoning hasn't been revealed, there is speculation that Dina decided not to attend the wedding after learning it would be filmed for a RHONJ special on Bravo. Others suspect there might be tension between Dina and Teresa over more personal issues.

As a result, RHONJ castmates Dolores Catania and Jennifer Aydin were added as bridesmaids, while Melissa was snubbed twice and ended up not attending. Teresa and Luis put all the drama aside after their lavish wedding and flew to Athens to begin their honeymoon vacation. The couple flew out of Newark just a few days after their wedding at Park Chateau Estate and Gardens. "It’s a very special place for them, and they’re looking forward to celebrating their love for one another after the big bash,” a source told The Daily Mail. Greece is where Luis popped the big question to Teresa last October with Dina and her husband, Dave Cantin, present.

The RHONJ OG has been sharing highlights from her romantic honeymoon on her Instagram Stories. In one photo, Teresa showed off her stay at the CALILO resort on Ios island, ET reports. Another photo captured her romantic helicopter ride with Luis by her side. Teresa gushed over Luis in one photo that showed him walking with his shirt half-buttoned while holding a Dior bag. Luis shared a boomerang of Teresa riding a swing. In another photo, he showed off the OG housewife's Fendi bathing suit as she walked toward the water.
The Grecian vacation is the perfect way to cap off the lavish wedding Teresa and Luis put on. Attendees partied until 1 a.m., sources say, with a cocktail reception following after, which included every kind of food and dessert guests would want. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star did it big for her first wedding that'll be shared with her fans. Teresa has shared more than enough of her life journey on Bravo for the network not to pay her back with a top-notch wedding ceremony that viewers will get to enjoy as well.
