Nene Leakes Drops Weight and Drama For Summer Wedding

Nene Leakes has spilled some of the details about her wedding this summer and it turns out that she is ready to say goodbye to a few extra pounds and all the tension between her and former cast member Kim Zolciak.

The outspoken “Real Housewife” is getting married for the second time but she wants to make sure she looks like she did (or even better than she did) the first time around.

Leakes opened up to In Touch magazine about her plans to make sure she is looking as fabulous as ever on her wedding day.

“I will try to lose 10 pounds, but I don’t want to be a skinny-ass bride,” she said. “I wanna be curvy!”

Well no matter if she’s a “skinny-ass” bride or a “curvy” diva, Gregg is just happy to be prepared to call Nene his wife again.

The couple got married the first time back in 2010 and divorced a year later.

Since this was his second time proposing to the “Glee” actress, Gregg made sure that it was something special.

“We were with our son – Gregg somehow got him out of the condo and had a big heart made of Hershey’s kisses on the bed,” Nene said as she recalled the night of the second proposal. “It was sweet! I said yes right away.”

So what will the wedding be like exactly?

This is Nene we’re talking about so you should already expect something big.

“We are going to have a big fantasy wedding, probably in Atlanta this summer,” she said.

Of course, the self-proclaimed “Glam-ma” will have her adorable granddaughter Bri’asia walking down the aisle as well.

“My granddaughter Bri’asia will be there,” she added. “She can’t walk yet but we’ll pull her down the aisle.”

Baby Bri’asia won’t be the only one making an appearance at the wedding. Apparently, Nene is ready to turn over a new leaf and kiss all the drama goodbye because she has invited every single last one of her RHOA cast mates to attend her special day.

We’re just hoping the ladies can keep the ratchet down long enough for Gregg and Nene to say “I do.”

“I will definitely invite every castmate from every show I’m on,” Leakes revealed. “I don’t know who’s available but they’re all on the list! RHOA’s Cynthia [Bailey] will be a bridesmaid and Kim [Zolciak] will be invited as well.”

Before you get excited that there will be some kind of cat fight between Nene and Kim, it seems like both of the ladies are ready to rekindle their friendship.

“She’s invited to my wedding, and I believe she will come,” the 45-year-old reality star said. “I’m extending an olive branch.”

Looks like she thought right too because Kim has indeed confirmed that she will be in attendance at Nene’s wedding and hopes to continue their friendship for a long time to come.

“I have always been and I continue to be happy for Nene, and I look forward to being invited to the wedding,” Nene’s former enemy said in response to the wedding invite. “Nene and I started this journey together and although we have had our ups and downs, I am excited to get our friendship back on track.”

She even went on to point out that she had been friends with Gregg’s wife long before the show even aired and she wants that back.

“We were friends long before RHOA, and we will be friends long after RHOA if it’s up to me,” Zolciak added.

So we know who is in invited and we have a good idea about where and when the ceremony will take place, but the one thing that nobody knows is what Leakes will be wearing when she walks down the aisle.

Nene hasn’t picked out a wedding gown for the big day, but she is having fun looking through her options. She is currently “still interviewing designers” who are sending her sketches of their own amazing wedding gown ideas.
