The Southern Hospitality Season 3 trailer hinted at a lot of drama for the Republic Garden & Lounge employees, and it also teased a surprise Las Vegas wedding for newly-dating couple Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley.  

How to Watch

Watch new episodes of Southern Hospitality Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

The two, who went from colleagues to friends to something more ahead of Season 3, can be seen exchanging vows in front of an Elvis Presley impersonator in a chapel in the teaser video (which you can check out above). 

While viewers will have to stayed tuned to find out more about the surprise nuptials, the manager and the DJ just shared new details about why they decided to take the plunge.

"The whole group was having a hard time and I feel like we needed something fun," Maddi shared with E! News.  "And I feel like that was fun."

"It's been on my mind for a while longer than hers," Joe added. "We're also just crazy and very spontaneous people. Even our families were just kind of like, 'Oh these idiots.'"

While Maddi and Joe's castmates appeared to be thrilled for the twosome in the Season 3 trailer, their respective families were less enthused.

Maddi noted that while her mom was "not shocked" because she knows that she and Joe "tend to be impulsive people," she was disappointed.

"No, they were mad," Maddi said about how her mom and the rest of her loved ones felt when they heard the news. "They were mad for sure."

Joe's family felt similarly.

"I had a lot of ass-kissing to do on Thanksgiving this year. But we are so close with our families and they know that we ride or die for them," he explained. "They just want us to be happy, thank God."

Are Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese still together?

Yes, the Southern Hospitality friends-turned-lovers are still together today.

"I don't want to give too much away about the wedding because there's so much of our love story that happens this season that leads up to that," Joe said to E! News. "But just know that we are together right now in a domestic house. A lot has changed."

When did Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese start dating?

The pair decided to give their romance a go before the cameras picked back up for Season 3. "I feel like I’ve always liked Joe. It’s just, we work so well together and we’re best friends, so to make it romantic was just a huge risk," Maddi said in an interview on the Season 3 premiere. "But at the same time, I know this man’s [been] in love with me for years."

Speaking about the decision to take their friendship to the next level, Joe admitted that it felt like a dream "come true."

“Dreams really do come true. Maddi Reese finally agreed to love me back. The only thing I could do was wait it out and be patient, and in New York, she was finally like, ‘Come here motherf----r,' grabbed me and kissed me right on the mouth," Joe said in an interview of his own "Since that moment, we’ve been inseparable, and I’ve never been happier in my life."
