Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey and husband Mike Hill disagreed about pandemic wedding

 Cynthia Bailey and her fiance Mike Hill became engaged this fall.

And on Sunday’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta they talked about whether or not they should have a big wedding considering the world is in the gripes of a historical pandemic.

The 53-year-old former model and her 50-year-old Fox Sports host had many a candid conversations – as seen played out on the show – about their wedding plans after quarantining together. 

Pre-marital drama: Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey, 53, and husband Mike Hill, 50, were at odds over the details of holding their October 10th wedding during the pandemic as Hill said, ‘I don’t give a f** about that wedding as long as I’m married to you’; pictured February 2020

Disagreeing over everything from keeping the date to the number of people invited, amid increasing COVID-19 restrictions and stress, Hill and Bailey were at odds as he asked her, ‘You’ve got to ask yourself: Do you want a marriage or do you really want a wedding?’  

Months prior at the time of filming Cynthia and Hill grappled with keeping their wedding date as the pandemic ramped up and caused a lot of unknowns from keeping their date to the size of the wedding, due to restrictions. 

Bailey seemed to be flexible at first as she told Hill, ‘If 10/10/20 is our perfect date, things are going to be opened up and we’ll be able to have that wedding. If it’s not, then maybe we’re not meant to get married 10/10/20. Maybe God is like saying, Hey, do it another time.’

Hill on the other hand responded to her, ‘Why is it that we have to move our perfect date because the world isn’t perfect right now?,’ as they discussed having to downsize their initial plans of a 250 person wedding after COVID-19 guidelines mandated no less than 50 at a gathering.

Arguing over whether or not to move forward as they wanted their loved ones present a noticeably irritated Hill said on the episode, ‘I’m not hearing it the way I want to hear it, I gotta be honest. I don’t give a f** about that wedding as long as I’m married to you.’

Though Cynthia told Hill there is ‘no doubt in my mind whether or not I want to marry you after the quarantine,’ she admitted that the stress of quarantining together only exacerbated the stress of the wedding planning and ‘trying to figure everything out.’

After the rampant pandemic made it known that things were not going to change any time soon the pair had to decide if they wanted to reschedule the lavish wedding after CDC guidelines limited the number of people allowed at gatherings. 

Mike said the news was ‘disappointing,’ as he said, ‘You know, I want a lot of people that really care about us to be there.’

He continued to say, ‘At the end of the day, it’s supposed to be our day. So if we’ve got 50, five, or just the two of us and a minister, that’s all we really need,’ said Mike.  

Tough times: Cynthia seemed hesitant after Mike posed the question, 'If the people can't be there, you don't want to get married?,' to which she responded, 'I want all of it. I deserve all of it'

Cynthia on the other hand wanted to make up for the bad memories of her previous wedding to ex husband of seven years Peter Thomas as she opened up about the details of her first wedding.

‘I have been married before. Like, I don’t have that good of a memory of my last wedding. It was just a lot of drama financially. Some of the people that were there weren’t supportive — basically haters,’ she revealed. 

Determined to have a special day she told Mike, ‘I just want an amazing day that I can not only share with my family but also share with my friends,’ as she told him, ‘you’re like my happily ever after.’

Despite seeming to agree on their love for each other, the two continued to argue about whether or not to move forward. 

Stressed out: Bailey and Hill ended up stuck together in Los Angeles in quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic which through their relationship for a loop where she said they had time to 'nitpick everything,' when it came to daily lives and wedding planning

I’m saying if God forbid we can’t have a lot of people there, the two of us can still be married on that day and we can have a ceremony later,’ he told her. 

‘What I’m asking you now is: If the people can’t be there, you don’t want to get married?,’ he chirped, while asking if he was ‘enough’ for her. 

A hesitant Cynthia took a pause which prompted Hill to said that her ‘hesitation’ was worrisome to which she responded, ‘I want all of it. I deserve all of it,’ as she plotted on how to proceed as initially planned, while assuring him ‘You are enough.’

The pair ended up sticking with their longtime plan and they got married at the Governors Towne Club in Acworth, Georgia in front of their 250 guests – an unsettling number despite the pair saying they had ‘strict COVID-19 precautions in place.’ 

Season 13 of the show ended up filming entirely during the pandemic and after Bravo got news that Bailey and Hill had to move their wedding inside due to Hurricane Delta, the network decided not to send a camera crew due to COVID-19 concerns so the couple provided their own cameras to submit footage to the show.
