Kelly Bensimon intends to double the number of wedding invitations she sends out next year. The former cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City shares with PEOPLE that she and her fiancé Scott Litner are planning two weddings. The first will be an intimate ceremony for their closest friends and family, followed by a grand celebration for all their family and friends. In a recent interview promoting her appearance on Peacock’s Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, the model and real estate agent questioned, “What’s the point of having one when you can have two?”

Currently, they are in the process of setting dates for both events. Litner and Bensimon have already chosen June 22, 2024, as the date for their wedding, which will take place on the lawn of Litner’s family home. While the plans for the second party, to be held in the Hamptons, are still in the works, Bensimon reflects on her approach, saying, “As soon as things started, I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to be completely at ease about this.’ I reassure myself that I will be the coolest bride ever.” She adds, “After that, I started doing it.”

“At this point, I’m beginning to feel like a bridezilla!” I just think I could pull off those shoes.” It just seems to me that I could pull off those shoes.” Kelly Bensimon was married from 1997 to 2006 to noted fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon. Sea, 25, and Teddy, 23, are the couple’s daughters. After a year of dating, Scott Litner proposed to Bensimon when they were on vacation in Wisconsin over the Fourth of July weekend. She had just concluded filming RHUGT: RHONY Legacy, which marks her long-awaited return to the Real Housewives franchise after her three-season career on RHONY ended with the completion of season 4 in 2011. “Right before we went away, I was strolling with Luann [de Lesseps] and I remarked, ‘I’m in a tricky situation,'” Bensimon recalled. ” “And we were not really given an opportunity to go through it while we were filming, however then I came back and boom — I’m engaged!” The finance professional proposed with a five-carat emerald-cut diamond ring from NYC jeweller Material Good. The two met at Lake Genova, which Bensimon describes as “one of my favourite places.”
