I Dream Of NeNe Finale Recap: For Richer Or For Richer

nene gregg wedding

Last night was the event you've all been waiting for with baited breath. Yes, that's right. NeNe Leakes finally walked down the aisle and married her groom Gregg. Again. Thanks, Bravo, for treating us to two full hours of I Dream of NeNe. Two hours, really? I kind of wish you had dragged out her nuptials even longer. I do wish I'd played a drinking game with myself though and taken a sip every time some famous face was shown. I mean, in the first five minutes of the finale, NeNe lunches Vivica Fox while Gregg hangs with groomsman Al Reynolds! On second thought, I'd probably have gotten too drunk to type this…

Gregg is being fitted for his tux, and he's super nervous to learn that his suit won't be completed until the day of the wedding. What is with these Bravo wedding specials leaving everything for the last minute? It's been in the works for ages! NeNe is also helping her ill prepared aunt shop for something to wear to the wedding, as she arrived in Atlanta with nary a dress. Jennifer Williams is along for the ride helping NeNe with some last minute details with her family. Gregg bows out on his fitting to go meet Tony to check on the venue. The ballroom looks like a construction site as Tony and his team prep to hang 60,000 crystals from the ceiling. Somewhere, Spencer Pratt just got really excited!

The family is all coming together for a low-key celebration dinner, and it's nice to see NeNe and Gregg's adult children finally getting along. Gregg is precious with his step-granddaughter. Brentt seems thrilled at the prospect of a better relationship with his half-siblings, and NeNe feels content that all of the children have all come together. The following day, NeNe is spending time with her oldest son Bryson. She wants him to walk her down the aisle, but given that he's on crutches, she doesn't want her dress to get ripped. During their conversation, NeNe is sidelined by an e-mail from her father bailing on her big day. She can't believe he didn't have the decency to at least call her.

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Cool Blue Hell

by on October 23rd, 2013

i-dream-of-nene-bridemaids

Last night on I Dream Of NeNe, "bridemaid" drama continued between Marlo Hampton and Diana Gowins, except Diana got the memo loud and clear that she better shape up and get on Team Worship NeNe Leakes! The ladies also traveled to Cancun for NeNe's bachelorette party. Of course no one behaved accordingly. 

Things started out fine. In the van from the airport everyone was joking around pretending to smoke twizzlers and then deep throat them. Marlo excelled in that arena. Once they arrived they discovered a soccer team was sharing their resort which was fine for some of the ladies, namely Dawn! 

The jollies continued as the ladies participated in the nipslip olympics. First was some sort of pseudo surf waves which caused Jennifer Williams (I forgot how lovely she is) and Diana to lose precious small bits of bikini coverage over and over again. Thank you for blurry modesty bars. From the sidelines the other ladies cheered and snickered. Diana is really working overtime to prove she isn't the "president" but merely a humble servant. And she's fun too!

Did anyone think NeNe installed some sort of zapper in Diana and whenever she didn't follow the rules NeNe shocked her? She had a personality 180 this episode…

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Dirty Diana

by on October 16th, 2013

nene

I'm just going to dive right into last night's I Dream Of NeNe because y'all are going to love this.  In the throws of planning this wedding, Gregg Leakes has decided to focus his energy on a new venture–a luxury barbershop!  Can you blame him? He's just as disturbed as I am that NeNe wants to send an evite for their big day.  I'd find something else to garner my attention, too! NeNe doles out Gregg's to-do list, and he is vetoed when he suggests alternatives to the $15,000 cake that is arriving in Atlanta via a first class flight. Poor Gregg always flies coach, I assume. This episode is off to a fabulous start!

The couple goes to check out the gardens where NeNe wants to wed, and Gregg is equally excited about her vision.  New wedding planner Tony arrives to rain on her parade. With the wedding in three weeks, Tony can't make the space work with so many guests without three extra weeks, some construction permits, and a lot of extra dough. NeNe refuses to change the date, so she's going to have to change the venue. She isn't happy about this turn of events. Tony was supposed to be able make things happen!  And he can…he just needs more time (No time, there's never any time! I don't have time to study plan a wedding, I'll never get into Stanford!).  Looks like NeNe's getting married at a hotel, y'all! She's appalled by this turn of events.  Really?  But the evites are the height of class?

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Tiffany’s Demise

by on October 9th, 2013

nene gregg

It's nothing but drama with a capital NeNe "D" as NeNe and Gregg Leakes attempt to make it down the aisle yet again on the Bravo wedding spin-off I Dream Of NeNe. Last night's episode focused on mayjah issues with an obstinate wedding planner, but Gregg's jokes made the whole hour bearable.  Pass the Lawry's, won't you?

After instigating the fight to end all fights among her bride-maidzillas in Los Angeles, NeNe has brought Diana, Lexis, and Marlo Hampton together back in Atlanta to work through their issues.  Above everything else, these ladies need to know that above all, they are supposed to be supporting the Neenster.  It's going really well, I tell ya!  NeNe is tired of playing referee between Team Neenster Diana and Team Gregg Lexis.

Marlo then compares Diana's looks to that of a security guard, but quickly covers by saying that Diana has been a security guard for NeNe's friendship. Nice save! NeNe feels badly for her old pal, but she can't help but laugh.  Marlo forces Diana to hug it out, and here's hoping the bride-maids can be drama free for at least an episode.

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Bride-Maid-Zillas!

by on October 2nd, 2013

nene wedding

Last night's I Dream of NeNe shifted the drama and cattiness from Gregg Leakes' kids and plops it right on top of NeNe Leakes' bridesmaids.  The only constant throughout it all?  The Neenster's larger than life ego stays totally intact! Also, if I wanted to make this a drinking game, I'd have you chug your vino every time NeNe talked about her bride-maids. Am I crazy for thinking there should be an "s" in there?

Gregg is running interference with son Damien while NeNe schools her remaining adult step-children.  Dr. Jeff is hoping he can help the family move forward, and all of Gregg's kids (sans Damien) seem just plain confused by the situation.  Look at NeNe's flowing locks in her interview sessions!  Work!  Dr. Jeff thinks that the major issue is between Gregg and the kids instead of NeNe and the kids.  Oh, Bravo editing…now NeNe's interview session hair is in sort of an Adam Lambert-esque bob.

NeNe is hoping that Gregg's only daughter Katrina will be the voice of reason. She feels that Katrina's feelings get lost among her boisterous brothers.  Katrina reveals that she doesn't have much of a relationship with her father because he only responded to her when she asked for money.  She wanted a more emotional and supportive role in her dad's life.  NeNe bonds with Katrina over her own absent father.  Katrina seems to have gotten through to Gregg and he promises to rectify their relationship.

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Family Matters

by on September 25th, 2013

nene

Last night's I Dream of NeNe was more therapy, drama, and famous friends of NeNe Leakes.  When it begins, the Neenster is reuniting with the Donald, and I'll be damned. They have the same hairstyle. Trump wants NeNe to judge the Miss USA pageant.  After their mutual admiration club, Donald shares with NeNe that he's read that she's getting remarried to her ex-husband. She reveals that her first divorce from Gregg wasn't amicable…in fact, it was hostile. Basically, Donald advises NeNe to get Gregg to sign the pre-nup or he's fired.  She also tries to get Donald's advice on blending families, but of course, it all boils down to her getting an extra nice wedding gift from the Donald.

Cynthia Bailey's husband Peter Thomas has bonded with Gregg, and Gregg is looking to his new biffle for guidance as to how to blend his family.  Luckily for Gregg, Peter has a lot of opinions given the fact he has five children that aren't with his current wife.  Peter urges his friend to make sure that everyone gets along.

I Dream Of NeNe Recap: Intro To The Remix

by on September 18th, 2013

nene leakes gregg leakes wedding day1

Sorry, Tamra Barney, but Andy Cohen has a favorite housewife!  Of course, it's Lisa Vanderpump, but I digress.  NeNe Leakes is a close second, and she's remarrying ex-husband Gregg which is a story line made in Bravo heaven.  It shouldn't come as a surprise that NeNe's wedding spin-off, I Dream Of NeNe, gets nearly a full season of episodes as opposed to a measly three.

To bring everyone up to speed as to why NeNe is re-marrying Gregg, NeNe must spend the first part of the show explaining why she "divorced his ass."  Their fifteen year marriage, split, and rekindled romance is described in less than a minute.  NeNe is getting adjusted to being back in Atlanta after an extended period of time in Los Angeles.  She finds her original wedding program and dress, and NeNe and Gregg reminisce over their first walk down the aisle with their wedding video.

NeNe shares that forgiving Gregg's past behavior is a lot easier than forgetting it.  She assures viewers that she wants everything to be different from the first go-round, and she isn't looking at this as a new wedding, but a new marriage.  That's a plus!  The couple spends time in Athens on their journey down memory lane, and they meet NeNe's aunt and godmother for lunch.  NeNe's godmother reminds Gregg of a talk they had a year ago when he promised he'd get his family back.
