Little sneak peek had all the ladies checking on the festivities going down before the wedding of Alexis Bellino and John Janssen.Among the many inventive, unique, and intimate touches were custom cowboy hats given to guests and a personalized song-for one of their many wedding pictures-to destroy the onslaught of congratulatory messages and some well-aimed criticism by the followers.

As she took a “quick pause from the wedding pics,” Bellino posted a video of the rehearsal dinner, showcasing custom cowboy hats for guests from Rancher Hat Bar and a surprise treat of a custom song, “We’re the Janssen’s,” created and performed by Mac Noodlez Hibachi Grill and available on Spotify. She called the evening “incredibly special.” Transcription of that video has Bellino giving the happy couple her congratulations as she waxes philosophic about love finding a guy in, quote, “mysterious places.” She repeats the new family mantra of “Where the janssen’s,” seemingly a phrase from the song itself.
The post was immediately flooded with comments praising Bellino’s breathtaking appearance and the impeccable event details. “You look just beautiful Alexis !!!,” wrote one user. “Love her hair, it’s a great up-do,” commented another. Thousands of others echoed a celebratory tone commenting, “Congratulations 🎉 Beautiful family ❤️” and “You look absolutely stunning 💛.” The new family attire also did not go unnoticed, with one fan requesting, “Love the outfit need the link!!,” and another commented, “This is giving Brady bunch and I love it.” The newly arranged family vibe was also nodded at by the creator of the song with, “Family goals right hurrrr 🔥🔥❤️❤️.”
In between all the well-wishes flowed an opposite wave of criticism and sarcastic remarks; not that those are ever rare for reality TV personalities. One commenter made a joke about past Bellino and ‘Real Housewives’ drama, saying, “Would like to see the bracelets that you had brought with Shannon’s money!🤣.” Another washed away any hope for a long-lasting marriage saying, “We’ll see how long he sticks around for you.” A few users wondered about finances: “I hope you signed a prenup because I have a feeling all he wants is your money. He is hungry for attention and hungry for somebody to pay his way.” The comment even got a reply from another user that accused the opposite, saying Janssen is the rich one.
Another set of critics hit the ostentatious side of the affair; one scoffed, “Did he contribute to the wedding?” and another snubbed, “Do you even know how tacky this is for wedding #3??? 🤮” Not even the dear John Janssen Himself escaped the murmur of judgment; one user remarked, “He dresses outdated!!! Are we in 2008?” But amid all the grumbles came several comments appreciating some details of the event: One user remarked about the custom napkins, “I love love love the napkins with the pets! 😍 especially the Dobie! 😂.”
