‘Sister Wives’’ Christine Brown Reveals Why She Didn’t Invite Meri, Robyn, or Kody to Her Wedding
Christine Brown wasn’t willing to expand her wedding guest list.
Though the Sister Wives star wasn’t technically engaged to now-husband David Woolley while filming the TLC series’ Oct. 27 episode, she and her boyfriend of one month were deep into wedding planning, spending the majority of the episode touring Utah wedding venues and discussing their oversized guest list.
“We’ll invite Janelle to our wedding, Janelle’s kids,” Christine shared of her sister wife Janelle Brown and Janelle’s six children. “Leon [Brown], for sure, Meri [Brown]’s child. I am not ready to be around Meri and Robyn [Brown] and Kody [Brown] yet.”
In the wake of her 2021 split from ex Kody—dad to her daughters Aspyn Thompson, 29, Mykelti Padron, 28, Gwendlyn Brown, 22, Ysabel Brown, 21, and Truely Brown, 14, and son Paedon Brown, 26—Christine cut ties with her former sister wives Meri and Robyn, saying she was not ready to work on a relationship with the two women.
Shortly after Christine left Kody, Janelle and Meri both separately split from the dad of 18, leaving Robyn as Kody’s only remaining wife.
“I’ve heard rumors about Christine dating,” Kody shared in his confessional. “I’ve heard rumors that he’s Christine’s soulmate. She’s very excited about the relationship. I’m offended for her on the idea that she’d be stuck with me for eternity when her soulmate was out there to be found.”
And though Kody, Meri and Robyn didn’t make the cut to score an invite, the couple were set on making sure their nuptials were a grand occasion.
“We’re thinking minimum of 350,” Christine told one venue coordinator of her headcount, noting that if she were to really invite all of David and her family members, she’d need to send out 700 invitations. “We have really big families. I have six kids but we have 18 kids all together in my family and then David.”
And while David seemed content with tying the knot in Las Vegas, he also was on board to give Christine the big wedding of her dreams.
“Christine deserves to have a nice, big wedding she never had,” he shared in a joint confessional with his future bride, “and that’s the thing I want to give to her, even though it would be cheaper to go to Vegas.”
Of course, the couple did get married in Moab, Utah, in October 2023, with Janelle and the majority of their children present. They recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary and Christine exclusively shared with E! News that they have big plans coming up.
“We’re finally going on our honeymoon,” Christine shared. “We’re leaving on November 1.”
