Plot Synopsis

On the lucky date of 11/11/11, THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA's Kim Zolciak married Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann, and cameras followed the couple -- and celebrity event planner Colin Cowie -- in Season 1 of this series, as they designed a dream wedding in their brand new multi-million dollar home. During THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, Kim and Kroy shared their most intimate moments, moved into their new home, and gave birth to a son, KJ. Now, in DON'T BE TARDY FOR THE WEDDING, the first season of this series, the pressure was on, as Kim rushed to find a dress, lose remaining baby weight and cosmetically enhance trouble spots. With the date quickly approaching, problems mounted -- her invitation was leaked to the press and her mother initially refused to attend the wedding. Still, Kim was determined to marry Kroy and wouldn't let anything ruin her perfect day.

To make matters worse, Kim's parents, who haven't spoken to their daughter since Kim kicked them out of her wedding, are dragging her to court for visitation with their granddaughters.
