Kandi revealed online recently that she and her new husband have held off honeymooning (for now) explaining:
I know people are asking why am I on IG when I should be on my honeymoon. Well @todd167’s has to go out of town to set up a show his company is producing for a network that’s just starting production this week. We’re gonna do a quick getaway next weekend.
Although I would have loved to take one of those long honeymoons & fly out the day after the wedding, anyone that watched #RHOA knows that I wanted Todd to produce his own shows & work for his self & that dream is coming true so I’m not complaining! So send him some love & congrats on his show being picked up as well! #EvenThoughItMeansHeWillBeInLAfor5months….
Kandi’s wedding dress remained top secret but now the first official photo of the Reco Chapple designed gown has been revealed!
