Last year, Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney revealed that their first wedding was fake, if only by accident.
This week, viewers saw their second wedding. Let's hope that this one sticks.
Well, another summer is almost at an end.
It's a bummer in many respects, but fall offers much to look forward to -- the return of football, memes about how much pumpkin spice flavoring sucks, and of course, a new season of Vanderpump Rules.
We all know that only about 40 percent of reality television bears any resemblance to reality, and the other 60 percent is just badly-scripted primetime soap drama with sufficient product placement to offset the fact that the entire audience is fast-forwarding through the commercials.
But usually, major events like weddings are legit occurrences in the lives of the cast members.
If you've been watching Vanderpump Rules recently, you know that in its sixth season, the show shows no signs of slowing down in terms of delivering an endless stream of drama that's by turns appalling and wildly entertaining.
Things got off to a wild start thanks to the not-all-that-surprising revelation that Jax Taylor's been cheating on Brittany Cartwright.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you're probably aware that Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz's relationship isn't of the variety that inspires "#CouplesGoals" tweets.
But hey, if "#CouplesCautionaryTales" becomes a trending topic, Tom and Katie could ride that wave to international renown!
We're still months away from the season premiere of Vanderpump Rules Season 6, but it seems that the guys and gals of SUR have reached officially the "f-ck it" point in their career, essentially giving up any effort to keep storylines and other spoilers under wraps.
While they haven't come right out and posted any of the details on their Instagram pages, we have a pretty solid idea of where things are headed in the episodes to come.
Feuds are what make great reality shows work, and if you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know the series has never been lacking in the bad blood department.
But we're a little concerned that the show's upcoming sixth season might be lacking the seething hostility that's made the happenings at SUR so compulsively watchable up to this point.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know that much of the show's fifth season focused on the tumultuous relationship of Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney.
There were times when it seemed the season finale would feature Maloney being loaded into the back of a police car after murdering Schwartz with a jagged tequila bottle, but to the surprise of many, it actually concluded with Tom and Katie's wedding.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know that an obnoxious amount of the show's fifth season was devoted to the run-up to the wedding of Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney.
We say an obnoxious amount of time, because the show asked us to really care about these two, despite the fact that it's difficult to think of a more unlikable couple in the history of reality television.
There has been much speculation about whether Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz have parted ways, and we're beginning to question what the hell is really going on with them behind closed doors.
Last week, we reported on rumors that Vanderpump Rules stars TomSchwartz and Katie Maloney had gotten divorced after less than a year of marriage.
The news came to us courtesy of a cryptic tweet from series star Jax Taylor.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, then you're probably aware that the bulk of the show's most recent season was devoted to planning and preparing for the wedding of Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney.
It was an interesting choice from a narrative perspective, as viewers have never been that crazy about the Dueling Bubbas as a couple, but it paid off in the form of gender-bending bachelor parties and numerous cameos from Tequila Katie.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know that the show's past season wasn't particularly kind to SUR hostess/aspiring pop singer/fake eyelash enthusiast Scheana Marie.
In addition to chronicling her divorce from Mike Shay, VPR Season 5 featured a storyline about Scheana being booted out of the chick clique that's since dubbed itself the Witches of WeHo.
On part three of the Vanderpump Rules reunion recap last night on Bravo, Scheana and Mike Shay's divorce once again took center stage.
What did we learn this time around, if anything?
Lala Kent quickly became a pariah on Vanderpump Rules. Part of that was down to the way she was acting when she first appeared on the show.
She was put on blast for her actions on Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 22 about her actions, but she had one last explosive argument with Stassi Schroeder.
Lala Kent returned to Vanderpump Rules last night for episode one of the show's three-part (?!) reunion special.
The rest of the cast was clearly taken off guard by the surprise cameo, with Scheana Marie (one of the few ladies on the cast who doesn't have active beef with Ms. Kent) remarking that she thought Lala was in New York.
Monday on Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 21, Scheana Marie realized that Mike could be back on drugs after his erratic behavior.
When the episode got underway, Katie Maloney was walking down the aisle to become Katie Schwartz with Tom Schwartz.
On Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 20, it became obvious that Stassi had changed for the better, to the surprise of no one ever.
How did Lisa react to that, and did she figure out what was going on with Scheana when her waitress started acting erratically at work?
On Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 19, Lala Kent returned to SUR, where the boss made it clear she won't tolerate her unreliability.
Of course, Lisa Vanderpump has a rather long fuse when it comes to these lunatics she employs - as long as they bring in the ratings.
On Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 18, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney tried to find someone to officiate their upcoming wedding.
Who declined the offer because of their belief - shared by pretty much everyone at this point - that the troubled pair isn't going to last?
On Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 17, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval engaged in an epic blowout over accusations of cheating.
While in drag, naturally.
Last night on Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 16, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney sought to put all the bickering behind them.
We know, yes. We know. Hence the word sought above.
Tom and Katie's awkward, tension-filled journey to matrimony continued Monday night on Bravo's Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 15.
Before the couple, who somehow determined marriage was a good idea, can make it to the altar, first they had to make it to New Orleans.
Monday on Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 14, Schwartz voiced his opinions about his bachelor party, while Katie raged at Scheana.
Elsewhere, Stassi was given more relationship advice, but if you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know how that typically goes.
