NeNe and Gregg Leakes held an intimate and posh Christmas party for their closest friends and family on Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012. Organizers (Ask April Love LLC) were hush-hush about the fabulous invitation-only fête, in an effort to ward off holiday party crashers. NeNe’s friends and classmates from her hometown were in abundance. She mentioned she hadn’t seen many of those guests in years. Also, during the couple’s welcome speech, Gregg became teary-eyed when he noticed his brother and his wife among the crowd.
It was a top-notch event held at the Mandarin Oriental, a luxury hotel in Atlanta’s Buckhead community.
Celebrities who came in bearing gifts from Tiffany & Co. and Jo Malone included “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Derek J., Miss Lawrence and Kenya Moore, former Atlanta Falcon Chuck Smith, “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’s” Mimi Faust, “Basketball Wives’” Jennifer Williams, who flew in town especially for this event, and actress Terri Vaughn. –yvette caslin
