This time next week, The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Kelly Dodd will be a married woman. The reality star is going ahead with her October 10th wedding. While her wedding is happening, it will be different from her original plan. What can fans expect from Kelly’s wedding? 

Someone Close to Kelly Will Be Maid of Honor

Kelly Dodd is marrying Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal. The couple met in the summer of 2019. Their whirlwind relationship received shade from Kelly’s former RHOC co-star Vicki Gunvalson, who claimed that Kelly was using her relationship for screen-time. 

But Kelly didn’t let the haters get in the way of her wedding plans. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the Positive Beverage founder is going full steam ahead with her nuptials. 

The guest list has been whittled down to an intimate setting. Kelly’s teenage daughter, Jolie, will serve as her maid of honor for the ceremony. 

RHONY Star No Longer Officiating RHOC Star’s Wedding

There has been one major change to Kelly and Rick’s wedding. The Real Housewives of New York City alum Dorinda Medley was originally going to officiate the wedding. Dorinda was recently fired by Bravo. 

Speaking to BravoTV, Kelly reveals that Dorinda is no longer officiating the wedding. Instead, one of Rick’s friends named Jeff is going to preside over the ceremony. Kelly didn’t reveal the reason behind the change. 

Social Distancing, Masks and Other Precautions 

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Kelly Dodd has made several controversial statements about COVID-19. Most recently, she shared a video about why masks are ineffective. She also regularly gets trolled on her social media for rarely wearing masks when out and about. 

However, in a striking change in course, Kelly reveals that her guests will be wearing masks. In fact, she reveals to BravoTV that she had custom-made masks. The masks have “Rick and Kelly 10-10-2020” written on them.  

In addition to the masks, there will be a limited number of wedding guests. Given that the wedding is outdoors and everyone will be wearing masks, social distancing may not be necessary. 

Will Bravo Film Kelly Dodd’s Wedding For RHOC?

Kelly has always said that she would be willing to let Bravo film her wedding. However, neither the network or Kelly mentioned if the nuptials will be filmed for Season 16. The new season of RHOC premieres a few days after her wedding. So, the show is likely not in production at the moment. 

Fans will have to stay tuned to find out if the wedding makes it to TV. 

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 15 premieres on Wednesday, October 14.
