Kelly Dodd, 44, is headed to the altar for a second time after her boyfriend of only a few months, Rick Leventhal, 59, surprised the reality star with a proposal. The excited bride to be promises to have a few familiar faces by her side when she decides to say I do. “Knowing Ramona [Singer], she’s- She wants to be a bridesmaid,” Kelly told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY during BravoCon in New York City on Nov. 15. “I’m like, girl, you’re going to be a bridesmaid. You’re the one who happened for me.”
Ramona, who introduced the couple, won’t be the only housewife Kelly plans on tapping to join her for her big day. The reality star plans to ask other franchise stars on both coasts to not just be in her bridal party. “Dorinda wants to officiate it,” Kelly added of The Real Housewives Of New York City star. “I think it would be great, because I’m Catholic and my fiance’s Jewish, so I’m not going to have a priest and a rabbi, so why not have Dorinda? She can officiate. Probably Braunwyn [Windham-Burke] and Emily [Simpson]. They’ll probably be there.”
Before meeting Rick, Kelly was married to Michael Dodd for 11 years and together they share daughter Jolie Dodd, 13. But just because this is her second walk down the aisle, don’t expect Kelly to skew things down. “[The wedding] Probably will be pretty big, because I have a lot of friends,” Kelly said. “He has a lot of friends. Oct. 10, 2020, we’re trying. We’re shooting for that. I want to do Napa. I never knew it was going to happen like this. I wasn’t even looking. I broke up with that stupid doctor and bam. This came in my face. It was a whirlwind.”
