"Since I’ve been on TV, I’ve never had fun. … I didn’t have time to enjoy it because my family came on. My wedding was … the best. It was so magical, I actually enjoyed being on TV during my wedding special," she added.

Her family members chose not to attend her wedding at the last minute, claiming an incident that occurred while filming season 13's final episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" would have made it too awkward for them to be there.
Teresa said she’s looking forward to the holiday season after recently announcing she’s working on a holiday movie.
