Teresa Giudiceis still a blushing bride despite having to relive the family drama she experienced before walking down the aisle to marry husbandLuis “Louie” Ruelaslast August.
In an exclusive interview ahead of herTeresa Gets Marriedwedding special, theReal Housewives of New Jerseystar, 51, told PEOPLE that she’s looking forward to revisiting her nuptials.
“We did have a lot of entertainment,” says Giudice. “That’s the thing. This time around, our wedding, everything we did was for us. I didn’t think about everybody else.”
Before saying “I do” to Ruelas, 48, last year, Giudicefaced tensionwith brotherJoe Gorgaand her sister-in-lawMelissa Gorga, which resulted in the pair being excluded from the ceremony.
At the time, a source told PEOPLE that “Teresabetrayed themin a way that’s unforgivable.” And because of that, The Gorgas were “not going to celebrate Teresa’s new marriage when all she does is try to tear apart theirs,” referencing how Teresa played a part in spreading rumors that Melissa, 44, cheated on Joe, 43. (Melissa has vehementlydenied the “baseless” allegation.)
When it came to their wedding planning process, Giudice says she and Ruelas did things their way.
“‘You need to invite this person, invite that person,'” says Giudice. “Then, unfortunately, sometimes you forget people, which I have no problem with that. If I do forget a person, I don’t mind putting them in. Just don’t make a big deal about it, right? This time, we did what we wanted to do…. nobody’s going to tell you what to do.”
As for her new husband, Giudice says she appreciated his input in organizing their dream nuptials.
