Wedding update from Bravo TV.
Scheana Shay gave her fans their first glimpse of her “real” wedding day.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star tied the knot with Brock Davies in a wedding in Mexico in August 2022. But fans later learned that the couple had secretly married a full year earlier.
On August 28, 2024, Shay celebrated her third wedding anniversary with Davies by sharing a post from the secret ceremony that no one knew about.
Scheana Shay and Brock Davies got married on their balcony 1 year before their “Vanderpump Rules” wedding
In a post on her Instagram page on August 28, Shay shared a photo of herself and Davies posing outside their San Diego apartment, holding their then-infant daughter, Summer Moon. Shay wore a white strapless dress, while Davies was casually dressed in a white T-shirt and khaki pants. Shay’s parents, Ron and Erika van Olphen, also posed for the photo, as did her sister Cortney and Cortney’s longtime boyfriend, Justice Horden.
Shay captioned her first family photo, taken after her civil wedding to Davies, with a message about the private ceremony and their very public life. “3 years ago today we exchanged our first wedding vows privately on our balcony in San Diego,” the Bravo star wrote. “We got married for us. For our family. We didn’t tell anyone except our immediate family because sometimes public announcements are so scrutinized and everyone had their own opinions on our relationship.”
Shay further acknowledged that her role as a reality star comes with “a lot of prejudice.” Shay also shared that despite all the criticism, she knows Davies is her “person.”
Scheana Shay dropped the bombshell in an episode of the 10th season of “Vanderpump Rules”
The wedding of Shay and Davies was a major topic during the 10th season of “Vanderpump Rules.” The couple’s wedding at the Dreams Natura Resort in Cancun, Mexico, was documented in the episode “It’s All Happening…Again.”
But hours before the ceremony was filmed for Bravo on August 23, 2022, Shay told her bridesmaids that she had already been married for a year. “I’ve been wearing my wedding ring for a while because we’ve been married for a while,” she told her co-stars Ariana Madix and Raquel Leviss. “This week is our anniversary.”
Shay explained that she married Davies, who is from Australia, in 2021 so he could get his green card. “When his investor visa needed to be changed, I wanted him to get his green card too,” she said of her husband. “We have a baby together and we know we’re going to be together forever. So we literally just exchanged a few words and signed the paper.”
The “Good as Gold” singer admitted that it was difficult to keep the secret because she has been “so happy” with Davies for a year.
An emotional Madix said, “You know what, Scheana? So many people want to get married because they want the wedding, but you are living the actual marriage. And the wedding is kind of like the fun little icing on the cake.”
Shay agreed in a confessional scene, saying it didn’t matter if she exchanged vows with Davies “in front of 100 people or four.”
In honor of their third wedding anniversary, Shay also posted a photo from their extravagant Mexican ceremony. “2 years since our wedding in Mexico. 3 legal. 5 total. Hope to have many, many more with you @brock 🫶🏼,” she wrote.
