Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 16 Recap: The "I Do" Aftermath

Posted by Martina Birk on Thursday, June 27, 2024

Monday on Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 16, viewers witnessed the aftermath of Scheana Marie and Mike Shay’s wedding, and all hell broke loose.

At the couple’s reception, the fit hit the shan as they say.

How so? And how bad was the carnage in California?

As we saw a week earlier, on Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 16, Scheana had a breakdown after her plan for a perfect wedding day hit a snag.

If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know this girl has been ALL about her wedding, so her big, musical entrance to the reception getting botched?

Pretty much the worst thing imaginable for Scheana Marie.

Still, she was still over the moon to be Mrs. Mike Shay at the end of the day. Even if she had to personally clean up the mess (literally) the next day.

A cleaning crew on a waitress’ salary? Not gonna happen.

The drama going on around Scheana far exceeded any mishaps with the bride herself, too. Take Tom Schwartz, for one, and his bid to make amends.

If you know Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney, you know he’s cheated on her a few times, and generally does not have his act together as an adult.

He’s a likable guy, and seemingly a good one at heart, but he’s got to raise his game one of these years if he plans on keeping a catch like Katie.

To wit, he pulled her aside, took out a small box, and … instead of getting down on one knee and proposing, gifted Katie with a cheesy ring on a string.

Seriously. You just cannot make this stuff up with this guy.

Lisa Vanderpump comforted her employee, questioning if Schwartz is worth the commitment and suggesting that the tearful Katie give him an ultimatum.

And then there was James Kennedy and Kristen Doute.

Kristen’s long-running obsession with her ex, Tom Sandoval, and his new girlfriend, Ariana Madix, finally came to a head after James had a few drinks.

Then a few more drinks. But there’s no blaming this one on the alcohol, as the emotions he bluntly expressed were clearly bottled up for some time.

He expressed his disappointment with the whole situation. She didn’t take kindly to that and took off. Then James went after her, because he loves her.

What he didn’t love was finding her in the parking lot with a random guy, and boy did he unload at that point, noting that she’s "f–ked everybody at SUR."

Truth. As is James’ go-to insult, that Kristen is "31 years old."

In response, Kristen Doute informed her British beau that they’re “done” and full-on, closed-fist punched him in the face. Twice. It was pretty insane.

This was what Jax Taylor meant when he teased that Kristen Doute ruined Scheana’s wedding, but what do you expect when you invite a sociopath.

Perhaps the best part was James lamenting that he got clocked by his now-ex to none other than Tom Sandoval, casually, while on the dance floor.

Tom’s response to this jarring news from his one-time rival?

A classic confessional in which he pleasantly pointed out to the Bravo cameras that Ariana and himself will never have to go through a situation such as this.
