Why gretchen wasnt a bridesmaid

This is the beginning of the best part of my life. Despite the recurring drama that has been prevalent throughout season eight of the Bravo TV show, every one of Barney's co-stars was present for the lavish ceremony. In a surprising twist, season seven addition, Heather Dubrow, and veteran "Housewife," Vicki Gunvalson, were allegedly the only cast members asked by Barney to be bridesmaids. Gunvalson's on-and-off boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, has been at the root of most of the mother-of-two's issues with Barney, however he was also invited to attend the big day.

Not thrilled, but fine. Rossi, 34, established a close bond with Barney in recent years and although the reality star hosted the newlywed's bachelorette party in Mexico, she was not asked to be a part of the bridal party. The pair reportedly have a falling out as the season comes to an end. There was Chelsea, who was cute and bubbly and rambled on and on as if she were terrified of silence. There was Asher, a good-looking man who made a total bro-speech and was one of the guys who Edie had seen in the kitchen.

He seemed nice enough in his spiel, which just convinced Edie that no one could ever really know what a man was thinking. Bianca, of course, sat at the foot of the table and smiled prettily as everyone spoke, but when Levi gave his speech, she gazed up at him as if he were the only man in the world.

Edie could pretty much see the hooks sinking into him. On the other side of the table, there was a geeky young woman named Taylor who seemed a little shy. Sebastian, who was rather abrupt and succinct and unfriendly, who seemed an odd choice for a bridal party.

Then there was the man next to Edie, Magnus, who mentioned he made video games for a living and was sincerely happy for his friend Hunter. Edie did her best to keep in her feelings, even though she knew Magnus was a big fat liar. Gretchen had a big mouth but she also had a big heart. So when it was her time to stand up and make a toast, she awkwardly rose to her feet and lifted her glass.

As for what I do? And then, Magnus. The three men drinking beer. Tamra may have also taken offense to not being included in a big moment in Gretchen's life. It seems Tamra, who planned her elaborate wedding in just five weeks, was only focused on the ceremony going smoothly. But on the actual day, I was so calm—just at ease and peaceful.
