Lisa Vanderpump Makes It To Jax & Britanny's Wedding After Her Mom's Death
June 29 2019, Published 2:09 p.m. ET
Lisa Vanderpump has made it to her Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's wedding after a new family tragedy.
Jax and Brittany will walk down the aisle today, Saturday, June 29, in her native Kentucky, and a source told RadarOnline.com that Lisa, 58, "wasn't going to go because of mourning her mother's death -- but she changed her plans."
Earlier this week, Lisa's rep confirmed that her mother Jean Vanderpump, 84, had died on June 20, saying the reality TV star was "devastated and shocked."
The loss came just 14 months after Lisa's DJ brother Mark, 59, died of what was ruled a suicide.
In a recent interview with The Express, Lisa said after her millionaire sibling's suicide, she became depressed and started taking antidepressants.
And she confirmed RadarOnline.com's report that she left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because of her grief.
Lisa's family crisis got worse and on Tuesday, she tweeted in honor of Jean, "As you go to RIP with Mark, mummy. A tragic year for sure … I thank all of you for your beautiful messages and words of kindness. Life is so fragile and I have no time for negativity."
But she was apparently determined not to miss the VPR nuptials.
Brittany's mother Sherri posted a photo of Lisa and husband Ken on Instagram on Friday, June 28, letting fans know they had arrived in the state.
"Lisa & Ken Vanderpump has made it to KY?," the mother of the bride wrote in a caption.
Brittany had told PEOPLE earlier, "Unfortunately, Lisa probably isn't going to be able to make it because of her mother's passing, which is so sad. I feel so bad for her that she had to go through all of this."

But the restaurateur loves the young people on her namesake Bravo TV show and will be a guest at the ceremony after all.
Jax and Brittany reportedly enjoyed a rehearsal dinner on Thursday night at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky.
Bad boy Jax and Brittany announced their engagement in June 2018 and were thrilled to share the joy with other VPR cast members at a party in Mexico.
As RadarOnline.com also has reported, the two had initially wanted to have their wedding in Malibu, but an Us Weekly source broke the news they ultimately chose Kentucky, where many of her relatives reside.
But Brittany and Jax have had a rocky relationship full of arguing and a source told RadarOnline.com at one point that she had wanted to dump him.
They patched things up, however, and are on the brink of becoming husband and wife.
The Vanderpump Rules gang is all there, including co-stars Stassi Schroeder, Lala Kent, Kristen Doute, Scheana Marie, Katie Maloney-Schwartz, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz —along with Lisa and her husband Ken!
