Even her daughter, Selina, needed some convincing after the emotional “re-engagement”.
"She doesn't believe it," Carmody says with a laugh. "She was like, 'Yeah, right.' Like, pigs might fly before you guys get married."
While the venue search is still underway, Carmody already has a clear vision for her bridal style.
"I definitely would have two dresses," she reveals. "I'm more of a mermaid. So a mermaid, I think. Maybe like a cupcake, too."

While wedding planning is top of mind, Carmody is also embracing Rhode Island's favorite season through her partnership with Baileys Minis, which she says has become a staple for summer get-togethers.
Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
"I especially love the minis because I think they're so cute," she tells Parade. "I love a little sweet. You can put it in your purse, and I feel like it's so cute to go to your friend's house and be like, 'Oh my God, here's a mini! Let's have some minis together with a straw.'"
As a Rhode Island native, Carmody says there's no better place to spend the summer.
"The best thing to do is go to the beaches. Our beaches are beautiful," she says. "Get seafood, have a Baileys, a Del's lemonade... it's just beautiful."

As she looks ahead to a busy summer filming Season 2, Carmody is also looking back on one of the biggest moments from RHORI's first season. Billy’s second proposal caught many viewers by surprise, including Carmody herself.
"I was taken back by it," she says. "That's why I was like, 'No, I don't want it,' because I was nervous, to be honest with you. It felt wrong, but it was supposed to happen. I got nervous. I was shy, I guess."
Despite the couple openly discussing challenges throughout Season 1, Carmody says their relationship has stood the test of time.
"Like any relationship, I was very open about ours," she explains. "Any little doubts I had, I just put it all out there. But obviously he's a good guy, nine years later. I would have left him a long time ago! We have our problems, like everyone does."
The reunion itself was far more nerve-wracking than fans may have realized.
"I was shaking, actually," Carmody admits. "I was physically sick for the first 20 minutes. You don't know who's going to come for you or what people are going to pull out of their briefcase or their purse."
Looking ahead to Season 2, the Bravo star says she's learned an important lesson after watching herself on television.
"I think I'm going to be more aware of people coming for you," she says. "I was very naive. And I'm trying to think about the words I say before I say them."
Still, fans shouldn't expect a completely different Alicia.
"When you watch yourself back, you're like, 'Oh my God, did you think before you said that?'" she laughs. "But I'm sure I'm not going to change that much anyway."
