She spoke to PEOPLE about their wedding, saying, “This is just about us and us saying, ‘You know what? We love each other. Let’s do this.’ And then when we actually have the big wedding, we won’t be as stressed out, and we’ll be like, ‘This is just a party with our friends.”
Windham-Burke then shared how they told their friends about their last-minute wedding. According to her, “I literally this morning [Dec. 3] sent a text to our friends in Nashville, ‘We’re getting married tomorrow if you’re free.’ So we’re going to have some of our friends here, but that is how we live our life, ‘Let’s do this.'”
The couple began dating in 2022. She spoke to Andy Cohen in January 2024, revealing how she and Spinner met. According to Windham-Burke, “On Tinder. My girlfriends set up a fake account for me, and kind of pre-dated some people. And I met her on Tinder.”
Cohen then asked what made her decide to come out as a lesbian. The former RHOC star replied, “There was a photo that TMZ had, and they gave me the consideration to tell the story in my own terms first.”
