Brittany Cartwright's Friend Says Jax Taylor Is the 'Perfect TV Villain' but 'Embraces Everyone' The couple's wedding party was made up of 12 bridesmaids (including castmates Scheana Shay, Ariana Madix, Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Lala Kent and Katie Maloney-Schwartz as matron of honor) and 13 groomsmen (with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz as best men). Season 8 of VPR chronicled their lavish wedding and relationship struggles once they returned home as spouses. "I've got a beautiful wife, a beautiful home. And on paper, I look like I hit the lottery. But I'm still not happy," he told ex-girlfriend Schroeder in one episode. While the pair has reason to celebrate — including 365 days around the sun as a married couple and Cartwright's mom recently being released from the ICU following "serious complications from bladder surgery" — the anniversary comes during a controversial time for the Vanderpump Rules cast.

Taylor — who cheated on Cartwright with Stowers in 2018 — also claimed she was “wanted by the police” in a 2017 tweet.
