This Is The Secret Message Inscribed On Katie Maloney-Schwartz's Wedding Band
Watch Katie Maloney-Schwartz and Tom Schwartz chat wedding fashion.
Confession: we're still a little dreamy eyed from the beauty that was Tom and Katie's wedding on Vanderpump Rules. There may have been a bit of drama leading up the big event, but the moment we saw Katie in that gown—pause to gasp—we knew the day itself would be nothing but fairy-tale magic.
The newlyweds recently sat down with The Lookbook to dish on the dress-shopping and tux-selecting process. "I wanted a vintage, almost classic look," the bride said. To make sure that her gown had that "vintage flair," Katie honed in on dresses that had sleeves and lace; and when she tried on the dress she eventually walked down the aisle in, it was love at first sight. Of course, Katie carried her famous brooch bouquet with her—but that wasn't the only bling at the wedding.
Katie's ring is decked with champagne diamonds, and it has one pink sapphire in it. "That's Tom's birthstone," she explained. There's also the sweetest engraved message both the wedding ring and the engagement band: Bubba.
As for the groom, "you wouldn't know it just from looking at him sometimes," Katie said, "but he loves to get dressed up." Though she mostly left the tux selection up to Tom, Katie did give a little nudge toward the vision she had in mind.
"I'd seen something that our friend had made for Zac Efron," she said. "It was a Bordeaux [color], and shiny, and I was like: that's what you should do! You should do something like that!" Ultimately, Tom chose to wear a dark green and black jacket that Katie deemed "just perfect." Kind of like the whole wedding. -Reporting by Jocelyn Vena
