RHOA (Season Finale)- "Is this a wedding or a funeral?"

This season ending episode could have been easily titled "Crying Game". Between the tears surrounding Cynthia and Peter's wedding- more on that in a minute- and Phaedra showing her true maternal side by crying and being quite broken up about leaving baby Aydin as she goes back to work. There were more than enough tears to go around. It was sweet to see how close Phaedra has grown to her son. I mean, let's remember this is the same woman who upon first laying eyes on her healthy baby boy said "gross!". I think it's safe to say that Phaedra has come a long way. More after the jump...
Now onto the highlight of the show, Cynthia and Peter's nuptials. I've never seen more crying and saddness surrounding two people taking that next important step in their relationship. Cynthia looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders and the stress of it all has aged her like 10 years. It seems like the well has truly run dry for her and Peter and there is no money. Cynthia seems determined to go through with the wedding as planned much to the chagrin of her sister and mother. I just don't understand why she feels the need to pretend like they have money to do this big extravaganza. Why put yourself in a financial mess like this? I mean there is literally no money and her family is downright distraught! Her sister Mal can't stop crying and her mother is just worried that Cynthia is making a huge mistake. Cynthia explains that all her and Peter's money went into his now defunct club. Cynthia is resentful because she's never been cash strapped like this before and it seems as if Peter is no help. Peter was largely absent during most of the episode except at the end so it looked like Cynthia was spinning her wheels alone in trying to figure things out. But Peter doesn't strike me as the type of man to just do nothing. I hope that, off camera, he was hustling just as much as the bride but who knows. Barbara, Cynthia's mother and Mal are focused on trying to get Cynthia to change her mind, even going as far as trying to hide the marriage license! What is wrong with them!?! I mean really!

Despite all the drama the wedding goes off without a hitch. Cynthia looked beautiful in a very non-traditional  dress. Peter teared up as soon as he laid eyes on her. So before a couple hundred guests and a huge dinosaur the two got hitched. It was quick ceremony, they read vows to each other and didn't exchange rings- huh!? - but they got through it. I really hope things work out but they started off the marriage with so much mess I'm not sure. Quick side-note, Kim's tacky ass has the audacity to bring a bottle of wine to the  cocktail hour because she says that because Cynthia and Peter have no money she knows that they won't have good alcohol. What! Stop your shenanigan's Kim!

Now onto the funny! Sheree auditions for a play and the panel judging the auditions hates her! Terri Vaughn, the actress from "The Steve Harvey Show", can't contain her disgust for Sheree's acting abilities or lack thereof. Sheree's read wasn't so bad but  if you read the facially expressions of the woman with the 5 chins and turned up lips to Terri Vaughn literally yelling at Sheree and losing her shit, you would've thought that she was the worst actress EVER! Pretty funny!

Greg tries to extend an olive branch with Nene and apologizes for their lack of communication and the way things have gone down between the two of them. Nene seems  like she's pretty much done. I think it's safe to say divorce is probably in there future.

Nene and Kim still hate each other. There friendship is beyond repair. Kim got her boobs done and plans on debuting her new girls and new boyfriend, Kroy, at the wedding. The boob job is obviously a waste of money given that she's now pregnant but I guess she wasn't planning on getting knocked up when she had the surgery. At the reception Dwight approaches Nene and tells her how much he's missed her. At first Nene looks disgusted but Dwight softens her up and they end up kissing and making up. Maybe these two can let bygones be bygones.

Overall a great end to a fantastic season!

Until next time...
