The Real Reason Stassi Schroeder Uninvited Vanderpump Rules Stars To Her Italian Wedding

Not a detail was missed of Stassi Schroeder's Italian wedding, as fans got to watch every step of the way on social media. Schroeder along with her closest friends and family shared snippets of the whole build-up to the lavish but small wedding in Rome. While fans were happy to see Schroeder's longtime "Vanderpump Rules" bestie Katie Maloney by her side through it all, they couldn't help but notice that she was the only "Vanderpump Rules" star present other than her ex-husband Tom Schwartz. 

Viewers were instantly convinced that this was the result of a mini-drama they desperately needed to know more details about. Well, sorry to disappoint, but Schroeder cleared things all up to Us Weekly. "[We had to] cut 70 percent of the guest list because it's too expensive. Now it is a 35-person wedding in Rome in a location that's meant for a s**t ton of people," Schroeder shared. 

The downsizing of the wedding due to budget is the real reason why so many "Vandeprump Rules" stars got cut, as she explained, saying, "Honestly, everyone's been pretty understanding." Schroeder added, "We sent out an email, like, 'Yo, times are tough, we can't have a 200-person wedding. This doesn't mean that we don't like you, but you're not part of my 35 top people.'" 

Aside from the duo being best friends, Schroeder explained that of course, Maloney made the cut– she is her daughter's godmother after all.
