El Moussa, 35, says her publicist and longtime pal, Cassie Zebisch, was key for keeping the wedding quiet.
"We literally owe this wedding to her,” El Moussa said. “She pulled it off. She met with the vendors, she set up the catering. I wanted a Maestros theme, like a nice steakhouse. She did it all!”
“Every day we were checking the internet to see if anyone found out,” she added. “Then the day we went to get our marriage license, the guy working was like hyperventilating, excited. We had to tell him this is a huge secret. No one knows.”
