'Single Ladies' Season 3 Star Denise Vasi Bridal Shower PHOTOS, To Wed 'Holy Grail' Director Anthony Mandler
Single Ladies actress Denise Vasi was feted at her bridal shower ahead of her fall wedding last week.
Vasi, a model-turned-actress, is engaged to video director and filmmaker Anthony Mandler. He proposed to her in July, 2012.
The Brooklyn, New York native shared a series of photos of the event held at a private location on top of a New York City roof on her Instagram. She gushed over the city's skyline which served as a backdrop in all of her photos.
Vasi is seen in the photos holding up several gifts she received including underwear, lingerie and even a diamond necklace, which she thanked her mother for.
"Thank you Mommy for my beautiful diamond necklace! I can not wait to proudly wear it on my wedding day," Vasi wrote of the lavish gift.
She also thanked her friends for the bridal shower which she described as "insanity" and the "funnest ever" on the social media site.
Mandler surprised his bride-to-be by showing up to the event. He flew 3,000 miles to attend her shower for a mere two hours, she revealed. The video director has been busy filming a project in Spain.
"Sometimes the Groom will make an appearance towards the end of the Bride's Bridal Shower. @amandler thank you for flying 3K miles to spend 2 hours w/ us! Enjoy your job in Argentina! I'll be wrapping up #singleladies3," she wrote.
Mandler leaked their wedding date when he shared a photo of himself at the bridal shower with his fiancé with the caption, "Beautiful Bridal shower moment with @denisevasi 34 days out..." he wrote on Instagram. His reveal indicates the couple will have a fall wedding next month. The day after the shower, Vasi snapped a picture of the interior of the famous Kleinfeld bridal gown salon after she had a fitting for her wedding gown there.
Vasi plays the lead role of Raquel on the hit scripted show. She landed the top spot after the surprise departure of Stacey Dash who originally helmed VH1's original series. When asked in an interview what fans of the show can expect in the upcoming season, she declined to give away spoilers.
"It's so hush-hush," Denise Vasi told Sister 2 Sister at the Essence magazine Women in Music even in July. "We're gearing up to go back to Atlanta and start season 3, which is really, really exciting."
Season 3 of Single Ladies will premiere in January, 2014.
