Porsha Williams Shares an Update on Her Wedding to Simon Guobadia
The RHOA alum enlisted the help of her mom and daughter for a sweet wedding planning outing.
Bride-to-be Porsha Williams is turning wedding planning into a family affair. As The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum’s special day(s) with her fiancé, Simon Guobadia, draws nearer, she enlisted the help of her daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley, and her mother, Diane Williams, on October 3 to tie up one major “I do” detail.
“Wedding venue hunting day!!! Whoop whoop!” Porsha captioned a series of Instagram photos with PJ and Ms. Diane, adding a church emoji. “Whose idea was it to have two [weddings?] Lawd have mercy lol.” She capped off the post with a “Guobadias Loading 2022” hashtag, seemingly indicating that the nuptials will take place before the end of the year.
Ms. Diane, for her part, shared two of the same family photos on her Instagram the same day, writing, “Blessing everyone! Live life to the fullest!!” along with three green heart emojis.
The two weddings Porsha mentioned seem to be a small step back from her initial plan. Shortly after she and Simon confirmed their engagement in May 2021, the RHOA alum revealed on a DISH Nation episode that they were actually planning three different celebrations across the globe.
“He’s African, so we’re going to have a native law and custom ceremony and a regular wedding, and then we’re going to have another wedding at one of the houses that is out of the country,” Porsha explained at the time.
More than a year later, she hinted that their wedding day was quickly approaching. On August 30, Porsha posted on Instagram that she was looking for Atlanta-based tailors “to make Nigerian Asoebi,” the traditional family wedding uniform from Simon’s homeland, before October.
By the time she put wedding planning on a short pause to film Peacock’s upcoming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 in Thailand this past summer, she already had her bridesmaids locked in. Among them are RHOA’s Shamea Morton and Porsha’s sister, Lauren Williams.
“Yesterday I asked a couple of my sisters to be bridesmaids!!” she captioned an April 25 Instagram post. “They said yes and we partied all day.”
Once the rest of Porsha’s loved ones — including PJ and Ms. Diane — are added to the mix for the main event, that’s when the party is sure to really get started.
