Couldn't Bravo think of a better title for Kim Zolciak's spin-off show?

Dreams really do come true ... but why do they have to come true for despicable people? Bravo officially announced the spin-off show for Kim Zolciak of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" fame: "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding." The completely uncatchy title is taken from Kim's party jam "Don't Be Tardy for the Party,," which I've got to hand it to Kim, was the first Housewife single. (Now all the Housewives have a song, I'm looking at you Countess). Why not title the show "Close Your Legs to Married Men?" The spin-off will follow Kim plan her wedding to the younger, richer Atlanta Falcons Defensive End Kroy Biermann in the style of "Bethenny Getting Married," New York Housewife Bethenny Frankel's spin-off. But Bethenny was quick, clever and aware of the hilarity of reality TV. At best, Kim is a cigarette-smoking court jester in an expensive big blond wig. The show's title is bad enough, but we've got to break down this Bravo press release to truly revel in its glory (Bravo PR's punctuation intact).

"I am so excited to give an up close and personal look at the next chapter in my life." Kim said "My life has turned into a true Cinderella story and to watch the pieces unfold is going to be great! I can't wait to share with all of you!"
Translation: I've gotten too famous for cat-fights with the other Housewives. I'm ready to have a show all by myself. Surely a show examining my family life won't harm my new marriage.

Each thirty minute episode will follow the adventures of Kim preparing for her wedding on the lucky date of 11/11/11. With less than 2 months to plan, she enlists celebrity event planner Colin Cowie to help design a dream wedding in her brand new multi-million dollar home.
Translation: Event planner to the stars Colin Cowie is desperate for publicity. He had never heard of the "Real Housewives" but thought Bravo would be great to strengthen his brand.

The pressure is on as Kim rushes to find a dress, lose remaining baby weight and cosmetically enhance trouble spots.
Translation: Entire episodes will consist of wacky plastic surgery scenarios. Laser fat removal? That's so kooky Kim!

With the date quickly approaching, problems mount— her invitation is leaked to the press ...
Translation: Kim leaked her invitation to the press. No one cared.

... and her mother refuses to attend the wedding.
Translation: Kim invited the press to her wedding but forgot to invite her mother.

Still, Kim is determined to marry Kroy and won’t let anything ruin her perfect day.
Translation: Kim is so strong and determined, audiences will no doubt identify with her gold-digging struggles.

And yes, I'll be watching.
