Teresa Giudice

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice married Luis Ruelas on Saturday at Park Chateau in East Brunswick.

The two had announced their engagement in October 2021. She held a giant bouquet of white flowers and was beaming with joy as she walked down the aisle. Giudice's brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, both did not attend the wedding, TODAY confirmed.

Two sources tell PEOPLE exclusively what was behind Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga's absence at Teresa Giudice and Louis Ruelas's wedding.

The second, Melissa was accused of being a former stripper and the third, cheating on Joe — two sets of false rumors that Joe and Melissa alleged Teresa was behind (Teresa denied being aware of either). Upon her return home in 2015, the two women agreed to put their disagreements behind them and made a pact not to fight. Sure, the two had some disagreements, like when they opened a since-closed family pizzeria together or when Teresa criticized Joe for not spending enough time with their parents. Joe Giudice also played a role in the family problems, Joe Gorga claiming his brother-in-law put a wedge between his relationship with his parents. "Melissa and Joe's efforts to make family a priority with Teresa are exhausted," the insider adds. "I just want us to get back to how we were when you first met Joey," Teresa told Melissa in season 7, Melissa saying, "I feel the same way." Teresa later said she felt blindsided by Melissa and Joe's casting on the show, claiming they never told her they were auditioning. As that all went down, Teresa had conflicts with Wakile as well as sisters-in-law Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita, lamenting that Melissa and Joe sided against her. "It's telling that Teresa didn't have one relative at her wedding," notes the source, pointing to the absence of estranged cousins Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri too. The Gorgas weren't the only ones who skipped Giudice and Ruelas's wedding. Two sources now tell PEOPLE exclusively what was behind their absence, explaining that Joe and Melissa had been planning on attending the wedding up until Thursday night, when false rumors about their marriage surfaced as the cameras rolled. "Teresa betrayed them in a way that's unforgivable," one source reveals.

So I hope she sees that and realizes that, and I wish her nothing but happiness and I’m sure her wedding will be absolutely beautiful.” The Gorgas were spotted returning to their house on Saturday afternoon after a day at the beach.

Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga were photographed returning home from a beach trip on Sunday after skipping Teresa Giudice and Luis “Louie” Ruelas' wedding.

“If that’s the case, then I think that makes perfect sense.” Although Melissa said on her podcast that she was “fine” with her sister-in-law’s decision, she questioned if “her new sister-in-laws” would be part of the bridal party. Bravo fans first began to question whether the Gorgas would attend the nuptials when the “Turning the Tables” author announced in March that Melissa would not be one of her bridesmaids.
