Schroeder Clark, 33, and Clark, 42, legally tied the knot in October 2020, when Schroeder Clark was pregnant with their now 1-year-old daughter Hartford. The couple postponed their big celebration until May 2022 as a result of the pandemic.

Now, they're celebrating their union with their family and friends in a luxurious, multi-day celebration in Rome, Italy. 

The Clarks, who have been together since 2017, are giving their fans a sneak peek at the festivities through their Instagrams, sharing behind-the-scenes photos and videos from their nuptials.

The celebration kicked off with Schroeder Clark's mini bachelorette party

The Clarks appeared to arrive in Italy early in the week, with their friends and family joining them sporadically.

The official festivities began with Schroeder Clark's bachelorette dinner on Tuesday at the restaurant Il Gabriello.

She posted a photo of five of her closest loved ones having dinner with her on her Instagram story.

"My version of a bachelorette party," she captioned the shot. "Wine & pasta & then bed."

Schroeder Clark's "Vanderpump Rules" costar Katie Maloney-Schwartz attended the dinner and posted a series of photos from the event on her Instagram on Wednesday. Maloney-Schwartz and their fellow costar Kristen Doute introduced the Clarks in 2017.

Kristina Kelly, who early viewers of "Vanderpump Rules" may recognize as a former server at SUR and longtime friend of Schroeder Clark, was also at the dinner.

The celebrations continued with the Clarks' welcome party and rehearsal dinner on the patio of Hotel de Russie on Wednesday. 

Schroeder Clark wore a strapless Galia Lahav dress, the Anna, with a thigh-high slit to the outdoor celebration, as shown in an Instagram post.

Many of Schroeder Clark's former castmates on "Vanderpump Rules" appear to be missing from her wedding celebrations so far, with the exception of Maloney-Schwartz, Kelly, and Maloney-Schwartz's estranged husband Tom Schwartz, who posted a video and photos to his Instagram story from Rome on Wednesday. 

Page Six reported that the Clarks did not invite Tom Sandoval and that they uninvited Scheana Shay during the planning process.

However, Bravo is unlikely to feature the Clarks' wedding on the reality TV show. Schroeder Clark was fired from the network in 2020 after Black former costar Faith Stowers said during an Instagram Live that Schroeder Clark and Doute falsely accused her of robbery and called the police. Doute, who was also fired from the show, and Schroeder Clark apologized at the time.

The couple said their vows for the second time Thursday

Schroeder Clark wore the custom Magnolia gown, according to a Galia Lahav representative. 

The A-line gown had a full, tulle skirt and sheer, off-the-shoulder sleeves. A floor-length veil completed the classic look.

"It was an absolute dreamy experience to work with Stassi on her fairytale wedding and make her bridal visions come to life," Galia Lahav's lead designer Sharon Sever said in a statement sent to Insider. "Seeing her in her custom Magnolia gown and the Anna dress is just magical — a full-circle moment!" 

Clark and Schroeder Clark did first look photos ahead of the wedding ceremony, as Clark shared on his Instagram story.

"Just saw Stassi for the first time in her dress, and man I am," Clark said in a video before sighing with emotion. 

Clark also shared that he had a wardrobe snafu on the wedding day; the security tag was still on his tuxedo shirt on the morning of the wedding.

He shared a photo of himself holding the tag to his story. 

"Always check your tuxedo shirts before walking outta the store," he wrote. "Thank god a store in Rome was able to take it off."

Following the ceremony, the Clarks celebrated their union outdoors, as they showed on multiple posts they reshared to their Instagram.

Their guests sat at one large table together, and the space doubled as their dance floor.

They ended the reception with a dance to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey.

The Clarks also had an impromptu after-party inside the mansion of the property where they wed, which included cheese and a tour of the mansion.

"This wasn't even a planned after-party," Schroeder Clark said in one video she posted to her story.
