Kim Zolciak and husband Kroy Biermann both wept as they renewed their wedding vows in a picture perfect beach ceremony.
The season finale of Don’t Be Tardy ended with the couple sharing emotional vows as their six children stood beside them on the beach in their favorite place, Turks and Caicos, over Mother’s Day weekend.
They wanted the ceremony in part to make up for the drama that dogged their actual wedding — with neither of them having spoken to their own parents since that day.

And for a moment it looked like the new ceremony would also end in chaos, with Kim stressed and constantly putting off writing her vows, and her dress being the ‘tardy’ part and arriving just hours before the event itself.
‘We’ll do bikinis — I’ll wear my Speedo,’ Kroy had joked to calm his wife who insisted she ‘couldn’t be more stressed’ in the final stages of planning.
But it all came good with the ceremony on the seventh anniversary of the say they met, with Kim in a stunning white dress with a large bow and NFL star Kroy in a beige suit and no shoes.

Kim insisted she ‘did my best’ at reaching back out, and admitted: ‘My dad, I miss him. But my mom — totally different bad game. It’s been like 20 years and she’s never changed.’
She told the cameras in a confessional later: ‘I tried calling my mom because Brielle wanted to — but it didn’t work. Same s**t, different day.
‘Any sliver of hope for my mom and I to ever have a relationship — she just squashed that again.’

However, he also admitted: ‘I love football, but there are risks involved. I definitely want to be around when my grandkids are born — when they’re playing, when they graduate. I want to live a long, prosperous life.’
