Stassi's Wedding: Date Confirmed?

Stassi Schroeder and her fiancé Beau Clark set a wedding date for October in Rome, Italy, but the couple had to cancel their wedding due to the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy. The couple still plan to get married in Rome, but the ongoing health crisis in Italy has made them rethink their plans. Schroeder and Clark have already been married in a small ceremony in LA, but are still planning on having their dream wedding in Rome.

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark got engaged in 2019

Schroeder and Clark first started dating at the end of 2017 and made their relationship Instagram official on Valentine's Day 2018. Clark, who works in commercial casting, made his debut on Vanderpump Rules during the show's seventh season in December 2018. The couple got engaged in August 2019 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Hartford, in January 2021. They had a second child, a son named Messer Rhys, in June 2023.

In an interview with People, Schroeder joked that she and Clark were testing out "mild starvation" in preparation for their wedding. She said she was doing intermittent fasting and could still eat ranch dressing, her favourite condiment, but only between 11 am and 6 pm. Schroeder also revealed that she and Clark had agreed that they did not want to sweat at their wedding and that it would be a crisp, fall celebration.

They originally planned to marry in Italy, where Beau was raised

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark originally planned to marry in Rome, Italy, where Beau was raised. The couple got engaged in 2019 and had planned to marry in October 2020. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak in Italy, they had to reconsider their plans. At the time, Italy was one of the countries hit hardest by the pandemic, and there were concerns about the health and safety of the couple and their guests. Additionally, Stassi and Beau had chosen venues that allowed filming, as their wedding was supposed to be featured on "Vanderpump Rules." However, due to Stassi's firing from the show, they were no longer able to get refunds from these venues and had to incur significant financial losses.

Despite the challenges, Stassi and Beau remained committed to having an intimate destination wedding in Italy. Beau spent part of his childhood in Italy and holds dual citizenship in the US and Italy. The couple also wanted an excuse to have a smaller wedding, and a destination wedding seemed fitting. Stassi shared that they couldn't have their wedding in LA because they would hurt too many people's feelings. She said, "We would hurt too many people’s feelings! People could say, 'Why wasn’t I invited? I live right down the street!' So that’s one reason we settled on a destination wedding in Italy."

They were locked into venues they didn't love, and had to reduce their guest list

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark had to reduce their guest list from 120 to 35 people for their wedding in Rome, Italy. The couple had originally planned to have a larger wedding, but they were locked into venues that they didn't love and had to downsize due to financial constraints.

Stassi and Beau's wedding was originally supposed to be filmed for Vanderpump Rules, and they had to select venues that allowed filming. However, after Stassi was fired from the show, they were no longer able to get refunds from the venues and had to reconsider their plans. They decided to go ahead with the wedding but with a significantly reduced budget.

Stassi and Beau chose to get married in Italy because the country holds special meaning for them. Beau spent part of his childhood there and has dual citizenship in the US and Italy. One of their first vacations as a couple was to Rome, so getting married in Italy would bring their relationship full circle.

The couple also wanted an excuse to have a smaller, intimate wedding, and a destination wedding seemed like the perfect solution. Stassi said, "We knew we couldn't have our wedding in L.A. We would hurt too many people's feelings! People could say, 'Why wasn't I invited? I live right down the street!' So that's one reason we settled on a destination wedding in Italy."

Despite the challenges they faced, Stassi and Beau were excited about their wedding and grateful to be able to celebrate with their closest friends and family. They sent an email to those who were no longer invited, explaining that they were downsizing due to financial constraints and that it wasn't a reflection of their relationship with those people.

They married quietly at home in 2020, but still want to have their dream wedding

Stassi Schroeder and her husband, Beau Clark, first tied the knot in a small, private ceremony at their home in September 2020. The couple had originally planned to marry in Rome, Italy, in October 2020, but the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in Italy at the time caused them to rethink their plans.

The couple travelled to Italy in October 2019 to scout out potential venues. They chose to marry in Italy because the country holds special meaning for them. Clark spent part of his childhood there and holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Italy, and one of their first vacations as a couple was to Rome.

However, due to the pandemic, they opted for a more intimate ceremony at home. Schroeder revealed on her podcast, "The Skinny Confidential Him & Her", that they were locked into using the hotels and other locations that had originally been selected when the wedding was going to be on Vanderpump Rules. She explained that these venues wouldn't allow them to get out of their bookings, and that she and Clark had to discuss whether to take the financial loss or to "reimagine" the wedding.

They ultimately decided to go ahead with a scaled-down wedding, reducing the guest list from around 120 people to 35. Schroeder shared that they sent out an email to uninvited guests, explaining that they were downsizing due to financial constraints and that it "doesn't mean that we don't like you, but you're not part of my 35 top people."

Despite the change of plans, Schroeder and Clark still plan to have their dream wedding. In July 2024, the couple was spotted out for lunch, and a source revealed that they were "still in the planning stages" of their upcoming nuptials.

Stassi and Beau have two children together

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark have two children together. In January 2021, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Hartford Charlie Rose Clark. In September 2023, they welcomed their second child, a son named Messer Rhys Clark.

Stassi and Beau got married in a small ceremony in September 2020. They had been dating for two years before getting engaged in July 2019.

Stassi has said that going from one to two children has been challenging. She told People:

> "I think no one properly warned me that going from one to two is harder than going from zero to one. Because now it's like me and my husband are just like ... one of them's on the other... So there's less time for us to just be adults. But we're getting to the point where we fully have the hang of things. So life gets easier every day."
