[FLASHBACK: Kandi's Bachelorette Party + Meet The Bridesmaids... (PHOTOS)]
Bravo Synopsis:
With Kandi and Todd’s wedding only a few days away, Kandi finally sends Todd the daunting pre-nup and requests him to sign it. Concerned that he might not be protected by the pre-nup, Todd seeks the advice of a lawyer who shocks Todd when he advises him not to sign. The clock is ticking and wedding guests have started to arrive in Atlanta. Unaware of how serious the pre-nup situation is becoming, Todd and Kandi’s friends continue planning parties for the bride and groom to celebrate their last night of being single.
Kandi’s bachelorette party is a fun girls night with outrageous entertainment hand delivered by Phaedra. Over at Bar One, Todd’s bachelor party gets a little out of control with Todd nearly breaking the “party rules” Kandi had laid out for him.
During the wedding rehearsal, things take a turn for the worse when Todd tells Kandi about his reservations with signing the prenup leading to a heated argument, and a division between Kandi and Todd that no one saw coming less than 24 hours before the wedding.

As promised, here’s more of my one on one chat with Apollo Nida, the husband of Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
In Part One, of my exclusive interview, Apollo and I spoke about the pre-nup advice he gave Todd Tucker on Kandi’s Wedding show (click HERE if you missed that).
In parts two & three of my interview, the popular ‘househusband’ shares why he feels it’s time to be more outspoken on the show.
The reason for being outspoken is because… like I told everyone, enough’s enough.
I’ve been quiet… I’ve been dormant for 4 years. If God allows us to have another season, it’ll be 5. But at some point you just have to say ‘this isn’t who I am’… I’m not this little puppet guy back here, I’m very opinionated. We can talk about politics, religion… it doesn’t matter. We can go there.
I’m more than just a face.
