Two Balls & A Bride: A Real Housewives Of Miami Recap

By Karen Malmquist

Karen M.MARYSOL'S GETTING READY FOR HER ASPEN WEDDING TO PHILIPPE, AND NOW IT'S HER fiancé's turn to feel pre-wedding jitters. Last week it was Marysol who needed to be calmed down about the spur of the moment ceremony.

The couple have their wedding pictures taken on the Silver Queen Gondola overlooking Aspen's magestic mountains while Marysol frets that the cable could break before the ceremony. But the two make it alive to the peak, and she and Philippe walked down the snowy mountain aisle. Marysol is overcome with emotion and bursts into tears as the priest reads aloud Philippe’s vows: "I have loved you more each day than the day before."



It's Larsa's turn to throw the weekly cooking party, and she decides to go Italian, in hopes of it being more fun than the other ladies' parties. The idea of competing over who can host the best cooking party excites her, so she makes sure to find the best Italian chef in Miami. She warns the beefy, tatted-up chef that the other ladies aren’t too great in the kitchen, but the ladies would get a full cooking lesson anyway.

Alexia books actor William Levy for the cover of Venue. This is his second time gracing the cover, so the familiarity allows Alexia to flirt with him on the set. Hey, it’s her magazine. Why not? Besides, she said Herman didn’t have a problem with it.

Lea gets into motivational speaker mode at the Miami Everglades Compound, where she gives the most awkwardly uncomfortable speech to a group of girls in foster care. She mentions Tinkerbell at one point, but the middle school-aged crowd seems too cool to care.

After the wedding, Marysol's upset that Philippe brought his wine refrigerator into their house without her permission. She called it an eyesore, even though she didn’t doubt that it held "beautiful wines." Naturally, Philippe suggests they could redo the house around the wine cellar.

Adriana’s ex-husband calls out of the blue, asking her to take him back. He said he would pay for their son Alex’s education in full, despite barely paying child support.

Cristy's getting ready for the big Gabriella Arango fashion show she and Alexia were about to walk in, but Alexia has yet to appear. When Cristy called her, she learns that Alexia has been in a car accident. Cristy is sympathetic but doesn't waste the chance to wear Alexia’s dresses on the runway.

Adriana takes a pole-dancing class, surely to strengthen her relationship with Fredric. She worries about looking like a loose girl, but then remembers "everybody's doing it.” Of course.

At the cooking party, Adriana wasn’t loving the idea of learning how to cook the food. She just wants to eat. However, she enjoys speaking Italian to the chef, who only understands the word "ball." Alexia's impressed that they would actually be learning how to cook. Larsa is happily unsurprised by how well everything turns out. For now.

Then Lea and Adriana casually brought up the Lea-Cristy charity ticket fiasco. Finally! After Marysol passes around her wedding photos, Lea makes sure the topic switched to her charity gala, to which everyone had donated "in a big way." Then Adriana, part of the charity committee, comments that Cristy wasn’t too happy about paying for her ticket.

Cristy insists she only came with one other person to the event, so only paying for two tickets was perfectly reasonable. Larsa, now pissed that some of the ladies ruined her party, abruptly thanks them all for coming, cueing them to leave. She and Cristy discuss how mad they are about the lunchtime drama while hanging out in the parking lot afterwards.

Next week on the season finale, Elsa calls Larsa unstable. Audiences have been teased with the preview of that scene all season, so something amazing is bound to happen. Can Elsa just be added to the main cast already?

Karen Malmquist is a sophomore at La Salle University, and the head writer and star of In Other News, a comedy series airing in Philadelphia.
