buzzz worthy. . . It was a rocky journey to the altar, but Kandi Buress and Todd Tucker finally said "I do." The "Real Housewife of Atlanta" star wed the TV producer (who she met on set) in an intimate Atlanta wedding on April 4. Burress told Touch magazine exclusively, "I had the wedding of my dreams." It was a day that seemed like it would never come. Kandi's former finace AJ died from a blow he sustained in a bar fight. Having never been married before, the mother of one, (Riley, 11) opened her heart to love again when Todd proposed.  Kandi's mother, Momma Joyce, made her opposition to the union known during the show, thinking Todd was not good enough for her daughter and because there were rumors he was taking advantage of her daughter.

On a girls trip to Vegas her older peers were upset that she refused to attend a strip club outing because her hubby would not approve. The ladies attempted to impart the importance of being independent to Porsha.  Porsha fought back saying that as a Christian she felt obligated to obey her husband and felt called to be a positive role model for other young women.   In the eyes of many viewers, Porsha was ...
