REAL Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has expressed her true feelings about her BFF Dina Manzo declining her invitation to her wedding.
Teresa, 50, and her fiancé, Luis Ruelas, 46, are tying the knot later this summer.
Not all the New Jersey native's close friends will watch her walk down the aisle, as Dina, 50, has opted not to attend.
An insider revealed to Page Six how Teresa feels about her best friend's decision, saying there is "no issue" between the pair and the bride-to-be is "okay with it."
The source continued: "Teresa respects Dina’s wishes and looks forward to celebrating with her in the future. They remain as close as ever."
Speculation was previously brewing online that there had been beef between Teresa's fiancé, Luis, and Dina's husband, David Cantin, prompting the RHONJ alum to turn down her invitation.

The source claimed, however, that was not the case and that there was no bad blood between the men.
They added that Dina chose not to attend the ceremony because she did not want to film.
Rumors have circulated that Teresa's wedding will be filmed for the show, although Bravo has yet to make an official announcement.
According to the insider, there is a "very strong likelihood the wedding is being filmed," leading Dina to steer clear of the venue.

"Dina has made it clear that she does not want to be on camera, and Teresa is OK with it," the source added.
Teresa's nuptials has been a sour topic amongst some of her Real Housewives co-stars since she announced her engagement to businessman Luis in October 2021.
WEDDING DRAMA
Drama ensued after she failed to invite fellow RHONJ star Dolores Catania to her engagement party in December.
She explained her reasoning to Christian Gray Snow on his podcast in May, claiming that Dolores' feud with Dina was partly to blame.
It has nothing to do with Dina [Manzo], right?” asked Chris.
But Teresa revealed: “It does. That too.”
The former co-stars went from besties to bickerers after a dramatic event in her personal life saw Dina quit the show and relocate to California.
Teresa explained: “I know she [Dolores] and Dina do not speak, but Dina's in California, and Dolores is here,"
“Dina never tells me anything about Dolores and vice versa. Dolores doesn't say anything about Dina.”
Teresa added that because it was a “small, intimate party," she didn’t think it would be a big deal.
However, she confirmed that Dolores would be attending her wedding.
Dolores, 51, has spoken out in support of Teresa and Luis, whose relationship was a big storyline in the latest season of RHONJ.
“It's about you’re happy and this guy is good to you and your kids. And really that's really all I care about,” Dolores said on the Two T's in a Pod podcast last month.
Teresa's wedding has also created some tension with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, 43, who she snubbed in the planning for the big day.
During the first installment of the RHONJ reunion in May, Teresa confirmed that Melissa would not be one of her bridesmaids, leaving her brother, Joe Gorga's wife, "hurt."
The mother of four then told her: “This is the thing, honey, we’re not close.
“You’re my sister-in-law, but we’re not close.”
PARTY FAIL
Teresa recently had to adjust the wedding details after Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer, 65, accidentally leaked information about the special day.
The reality star mistakenly shared private details on social media, including the date and location where the ceremony would be held.
