RHOA Star Brit Eady Reveals Why She and Husband Michael Cunningham Didn’t Have a Wedding Reception When They Married

Brit Eady is revealing why she and her husband Michael Cunningham didn't have a wedding reception.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star and Cunningham were among the countless couples who opted for low-key nuptials amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she shared during the Bravo reality series' latest episode, which aired on Sunday, March 16.

"Because it was during the pandemic, we went to the courthouse, filed our paperwork, and we just did a zoom saying our vows," she said, adding, "I was a little sad about that, but being a wife was way more important."

Nearly five years later, the couple plans to make up for the missed moment by having a second wedding ceremony,

"Because I don’t want a huge wedding," she explained. "I want something that’s sexy and glamorous but intimate."

While she didn't celebrate with a big wedding back in 2020, Eady revealed in the season 16 premiere episode of RHOA that Cunningham got her not one, but two rings. "My husband is all about making sure I’m that girl. I went from 7-and-a-half carats and now I have a 10-carat solitary," she said.

During Sunday's episode, Eady also opened up about how she and Cunningham first connected.

"I met Mike when I launched my insurance agency. And Mike was my client so I didn’t want to date my client so we became friends. And probably about two or three months of him FaceTiming all the time, I was like, ‘Wait a minute, I’m going to watch out for you,' " she recalled.

Eady continued: "We dated and we went on our first trip to Vegas and I said, ‘Mike, I’ll come to Vegas with you but you not getting none.’ When I tell you we had the best time. I was like, ‘Okay, he might be the one.’ "

She also shared that she and Cunningham are talking about having a baby together this year. "Mike has a son, he’s 15. And Mike wants to really experience being a girl dad, so we want to do IVF because we want to choose the sex," the reality star noted.

Last year, Eady shared a sweet tribute to her husband in honor of his birthday. In a January 2024 Instagram post, featuring a series of cozy photos of the pair, she wrote: "Happy birthday to my husband😍🎈. It has been the best ride of my life. Celebrating you is everyday… You are my world, my best friend, and my biggest headache. I would do it all over again."

"The way you love me, I pray everyone gets to experience this type of unconditional love. ❤️🔐 😍🤪," she added.
