She's gonna have the marriage certificate she never had 💕🥺💕 TBH I'm happy for her.

[–]Rightbuthumble 938 points939 points  (33 children)

Please TLC throw her a huge wedding with a really nice dress and televise it and let there be normal dancing and no Christine singing but invite everyone from the brown family but kody…oh let the celebration begin

[–]Moon_Burg 229 points230 points  (5 children)

I've struggled through the last few seasons, fast-forwarding multiple sections, but would 100% resub to D+ for this. Just putting it out there for any of Christine's kids who might be reading this to let the producers know 👋

[–]Beneficent_Ovum 87 points88 points  (3 children)

HBOMax and D+ are merging, too!

[–]VanessaIsGreat 36 points37 points  (1 child)

YAAAAAAS !That means I don't have to pay extra !

Can't wait to see Kootie doing his dumb dance at her wedding with that knife hanging out of his kidney.

[–]RKA625 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's going to dance as hard as he can to prove he's unbothered by all of this.

    Especially be sure to invite Robyn's kids.

    Christine took annoying little HRH Ariella Mae’s advice:

    “HAVE DATES!l”

    [–]Boss-Not-Bossy 66 points67 points  (9 children)

    And no Christine singing 💀

    [–]Context_is_____ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

    But how great would it be for Natasha Bedingfield sing ‘Unwritten’ live at the reception. I felt like Christine was singing that to herself as well as Ysabel when she performed it at Ysabel’s going away party. The words are like her anthem.

    [–]TheAmazingMaryJane 30 points31 points  (7 children)

    and for god sakes don't let kody officiate. can you imagine how cringeously delicious that would be though!!!!

    [–]bestneighbourever 21 points22 points  (5 children)

    And for sure don’t let Kody dance at her wedding

    [–]ChickenGirl8 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    That “dance” was so amazingly awful and head turning… I really hope we get an encore.

    [–]Rightbuthumble 8 points9 points  (1 child)

    Let’s hope she and her husband to be take really classy dance lessons and do some ass kicking, dancing with the stars waltzes and some really sexy other kinds of dances. Maybe do a line dance with the three original wives their kids and their kids significant others and David’s kids and their others. Oh my. You know kody grody and bobbin Robyn would be livid. Please.

            [–]Lazy_Wolf_0 745 points746 points  (73 children)

            Yep, and I'm hoping TLC filmed it.

            Robin is going to need hospitalization due to not being the center of attention.

            [–]FreudianSlipper21 444 points445 points  (46 children)

            There will be a full season arc coming up where Robyn finds various ways to make Christine’s engagement about her. Examples may include: not being informed personally about the engagement (“so hurt!”), not being invited to the wedding (“I just wanted to be there to support Christine!”), and some type of riff on how Christine’s happiness is pushing Kody to a dark place and that affects Robyn.

            [–]Lazy_Wolf_0 133 points134 points  (18 children)

            I absolutely believe this. She won't be invited to the wedding and will have a meltdown. She will find some way to try and upstage Christine. I am sure of that.

            [–]mmmmmmadeline 47 points48 points  (6 children)

            She def will, she will use her youngest kids to distract everyone away from the wedding. "😥😢 I'm sorry guys I'm sorry, I'm not tryin to make this a big dill but I gotta feed aurora, I dunno why she's crying I'm sorry guys please don't pay attention to me" all while she's pinching aurora to make her cry on cue haha

            [–]unik1ne 52 points53 points  (2 children)

            The fact that Aurora is like 19 makes this even funnier

            [–]mmmmmmadeline 18 points19 points  (0 children)

            🤣 I thought the youngest girls name was aurora 😂😂😂😂😂 well it works either way. I'm certain her older kids would cry on cue for her hahaha

                Kody will upstage! He will show up and want to do some ridiculous dance at the reception! He might even wear his short kilt again for extra attention.

                [–]Lampin5 20 points21 points  (0 children)

                Kody and Robyn can come to Utah to sleep in Mykelti's closet and watch her boys while she, Tony and Avalon attend the wedding,

                [–]BeautifulGlove 34 points35 points  (0 children)

                and then Mykelti will put on terrible eyebrows and kiss up to him and Robyn

                [–]dunkle8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

                Not the mini kilt!

                [–]mmmmmmadeline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                He will bring over those god awful dance moves from that other wedding lol

                [–]PeopleCanBeAwful 35 points36 points  (4 children)

                I think TLC will film it and pay for it, so unfortunately Robyn and Kody might be there.

                [–]booobsmcgeee 82 points83 points  (2 children)

                Christine has been so firm in her boundaries that I don’t believe she would take TLC money for the wedding if Robyn and Kody would be there. I can’t imagine her personality inviting them either after setting the boundary with Robyn that she didn’t want a friendship. Also, that means kody would do his weird, crazy dancing at the wedding and i would hope Christine is over that. 😂

                [–]TheAmazingMaryJane 25 points26 points  (1 child)

                oh he'd try to grab all of the attention! and try to humiliate christine by giving toast after toast about the bride and groom! i'd get a peice of paper not letting him within 50 meters of my wedding.

                  [–]mojones18 81 points82 points  (15 children)

                  I can't decide if I were in Christine's place whether I would invite them or not. I WOULD definitely invite Janelle and even Meri and all the OG kids. There's plenty of reasons not to invite SADKRAB but a couple of compelling reasons to include them.

                  To be clear, whatever Christine decides is the correct answer because it's her wedding, but it's such a unique situation that I honestly don't know what I'd do myself.

                  [–]Fine_Gardening 111 points112 points  (2 children)

                  After the way Kody & Robyn acted at the good bye "party", no way would I give them the opportunity to mar my happy wedding day even a bit.

                  [–]mojones18 40 points41 points  (1 child)

                  Fair enough! The risk of kody dancing---alone is enough to avoid it.

                  [–]ChewOnADog 25 points26 points  (0 children)

                  What a good point! It would be a shame for her to go to all this trouble to tear her life apart and start over, only to return to having big events overshadowed by The Chode-ster.

                  [–]itsbritbeeyotch 29 points30 points  (2 children)

                  I know some people have relationships like that but I would never invite my ex to my wedding. I think she invites Jenelle and that’s all.

                  [–]LizWords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                  I think she’ll invite Meri too.

                  [–]AfterSevenYears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                  My ex is not a bad person and there are no hard feelings, but it's over and they're not part of my life anymore, period. Of course, Christine's situation is a lot different — her ex is a thoroughly shitty person, but they have children and grandchildren together — but I think she knows if she invites him, he'll make her whole wedding about him.

                  [–]ImpossibleProcess452 17 points18 points  (2 children)

                  If they aren’t invited, they will claim Christine is alienating truly from their children. Guaranteed

                  [–]mojones18 11 points12 points  (1 child)

                  You know it will come up. Mykelti can haul the tenders. Problem solved. .

                  [–]whatevertoton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

                  I sincerely hope she does not invite Kody and Robin or even Meri. She doesn’t need the emotional baggage staring her in the face at her new beginning.

                  [–]Greeneyedbandit28 35 points36 points  (0 children)

                  I wonder if she’ll have a private ceremony with David and maybe later have a reception where she puts out an open invitation to the entire family and whoever wants to come, comes. I’m an avoider though so that’s how I’d handle it.

                  [–]katzen_mutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

                  A wedding is a celebration. The people you want at your wedding are close friends and family that love you. Kody told Christine he didn't love her and the way Robyn treated her definitely was not loving. They need to stay home and stew.

                  [–]Rripurnia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

                  That could be solved by them eloping but I feel like they’re both very family-oriented and they’d want their kids and grandkids around for the ceremony.

                  Regardless of what she does, it’s her prerogative. It’ll be her day and she should be able to enjoy it to the fullest!

                    "I hoped we could all still be a family. I'm her sister wife, but I didn't even get to meet David before they announced this. I know social distancing would have made that impossible, but they didn't even think about me. Obviously, I haven't told my children; I don't know how they're going to take this. We don't even know how Truley feels. Does a 9 year old even understand? Kody can't risk passing David's stench on to our little kids to even see her. This whole engagement has put a strain on our home when we're still trying to process all the pain of the divorce. I'm just sitting here-- while they run my life."

                    [–]Murky-Court8521 28 points29 points  (1 child)

                    You nailed it! I would have loved being a fly on the wall when Kody and Robyn heard the news.

                    Mykelti probably told them.

                      Remember how he said that no man would ever want her since they knew that she gave up a good man? Hmmm. Yet another proclamation from Kody that doesn't come true....David seems like a GREAT guy! Has a business that seems to actually make money, has lived in the same house (that is big enough for all of his kids) for many years, and seems to have a good relationship with his adult children-- at least the one's we've seen. Yeah, Kody, Christine had to pick from the bottom of the barrel!!!!

                      [–]FreudianSlipper21 64 points65 points  (1 child)

                      Oh my gosh-what a perfect first question for the tell all! Replay the “good man” quote and juxtapose it with Christine’s engagement announcement. Return to Kody on the couch and simply say “Comment?” 😂 Unfortunately Suki and the producers will fumble the easiest part that Kody has already served up on a platter.

                        If they get a better honeymoon than Kody and Robyn. Robyn will flip out. Also if Kody is looking for another sister wife or [wives], Robyn is going to be in bed 24/7 with migraines, talking to her Precious Moments figs. like they are her friends/real people.

                            I hope that Kody is thinking that what he accused C of is coming true (you are just gonna go find another husband and come after all my money and custody) even though it isn't true.

                            Proof living well is the best revenge.

                            You know his rants about “his” money and poverty are only going to intensify now.

                            Meanwhile it appears that David is a successful businessman who must have been better at finances throughout his life to make it the way he did.

                            Kody can eat crow!

                                Honestly, I get what people are saying, but I think they have been dating longer than we think. And dating and marriage in your 50’s is way different than when you are barely 20.

                                Christine had been ‘single’ for a long time. Just because she hadn’t left Kody yet doesn’t mean she wasn’t alone. I think she has been on a journey of self discovery for years. She has been living her life with her kids, on her own terms.

                                She found someone who makes her happy and feel special. I knew I loved my husband a week after meeting him. We started talking marriage a few months after we started dating. We lived together less than a year after we met and have been together over a decade. This was not our first marriages and we were not ‘young’.

                                I don’t think there are red flags. I don’t think she is going too fast and I think she knows exactly who she is and what she wants.

                                I was going to say the same—we are seeing an abbreviated timeline of what they have actually experienced, since a lot of life news is delayed for the show’s release. Also, she’s been in a loveless marriage long enough to figure out exactly what she wants and go for when she finds it. People who are a bit older tend to have a better understanding of their own wants, needs, and goals than someone in their 20s who is still figuring out who they are.

                                ALL OF THIS.

                                These aren't immature kids running off to play Romeo and Juliet. These are grown, established adults with grown children of their own. They are at ENTIRELY different places in their lives than people in their late teens/early twenties. And Christine has very obviously done a lot of work on herself during her marriage to Kody, and while that was ending. I think it's very clear that this isn't just some cutesy, infatuated fling for either of them, and I hope people can trust that Christine knows herself and her situation better than any of us. I wish them all the love and happiness with each other!

                                ​

                                And FWIW to all the naysayers, my husband and I were talking about marriage within a couple months of meeting, and were married 11mo to the day after our first date. We've been together 13yrs now, married 12, and I love him more than I did the day I married him. So not every relationship or couple needs years and years together to "figure it out". Sometimes people just know, and that's fine too.

                                Agreed! My partner and I started dating in October. Moved in together in February. Married in August. I can't confirm but strongly suspect my own mother was taking bets if we were pregnant (we weren't).and if we'd last (we did). This all happened 41 years ago. When it's the right one, you know.

                                My grandparents got MARRIED after 2 weeks, at 19 and 23, and were married for 64 years. They were the cutest, still held hands while walking, cuddled on the couch. My grandfather passed away 15 years ago almost and my grandmother misses him horribly and hates listening to her widow friends who say they're better off now that hubby is dead.

                                My husband and I were planning our wedding before we ever started officially dating. We started dating and got engaged 6 weeks later. We will hit 21 years this year

                                    My PawPaw went home from his first date with my MaMaw (which had been a blind date set up by a friend) and told his mother, my great grandmother, that he had met the woman he was going to marry. They married 2 months later and were married for 55 years when he passed away.

                                      ITA- Married almost 20 years. We joke that we skipped dating as we never made that part official. We started seeing each other in October 2004, engaged December 2004, and married July 2005.

                                      When it’s right, you just know and there’s no reason to wait.

                                        100% this. She’s already put years into the important work of figuring out what she wants in a relationship and learning to be okay on her own when she isn’t getting that. Now that she’s experiencing what it’s like to have what she wants, I’m all for her embracing it! Get that marriage certificate to go along with the ring, girl!!!!

                                        I think she should move as fast as she wants. She’s been a single wife and mother for years. I knew I would marry my husband on our first date. We’ve been married 8 years now. When you know, you know. She deserves love, happiness, and a huge wedding if that’s what she wants.

                                        Also it’s not like they’re going to be in a covenant marriage. If down the line they decide it’s not working, they can simply divorce if that’s what they want!

                                          YES. Once you reach a certain age and if you've been committed to your own journey of growth and self-discovery, there's a certain point that you just know what you need. Good on her for finding it!

                                          Agreed. She hasn't been "with" Kody for decades. Even if they were acting otherwise. She found someone who treats her like the queen she is. Go Christine

                                          My parents (step-dad and mom) got engaged at 6 months. They were in their early-mid forties. They are soulmates and they knew it. My mom was also “single” for a long time in her marriage to my bio dad. IMO, Christine is a sensible, grown adult and she can make her own decisions. I also believe they’ve been together much longer than social media would lead us to believe.

Frankly, all I can think of is will the show televise the wedding. It will be amazing to see Christine as an actual bride in a dress that makes her feel beautiful.

                                          I had a very similar experience! We met, we dated for a few months, but we knew within weeks we wanted forever.

                                          We dated, got engaged…we never lived together, but that was a product of our upbringing…and were married within a 2 year span. We celebrate our 25th anniversary next month.

                                          We are also 26 years into a week long celebration of Valentines Day he calls The Seven Days of Valentines…7 days of poems and gifts ending on Valentines Day. He writes a poem- and he does it the day of, spontaneously, never pre-written. The poem is a clue as to what the gift is. He gives me the poem and I guess the gift. I’ve been right, I think, less than 10 times. Hahaha! The gifts get more elaborate each day. (And he did it BEFORE The Simpsons episode featuring the same concept!).

                                          Nothing has ever made me feel as special as the year I realized he was going to do this every day until one of us died.

                                          Honestly that has nothing to do with any of this I just wanted to brag because I’m terrible. 🥲

                                            I also hope TLC films it’s so Kody can can watch it and realize he ran off the wrong one. You know he’s having a bitch fit and Robyn is rubbing onions on her eyes so tears will flow for her polygamy dream being flushed down the toilet

                                                Ahhhhhh. I love that she feels this way, but I also love that these words will repeatedly stab Kody in the kidneys.

                                                This woman has been divorced from her “husband” for nearly two years now, after years of nearly zero intimacy or anything that resembled an actual marriage, and has been dating him now for over 6 months. She’s also in her 50’s. He’s in his 60’s. This isn’t really “rushing it.” I’m happy for her and think this is awesome. If she was 19, I’d agree. But how much longer does Christine have to wait to be happy to just appease everyone else? She’s done plenty. Let her have her man.

                                                Exactly X2.

                                                We have no way of knowing more than they put out there.

                                                Imo she did a metric fuckton of work on herself and people with that insight seem to have fewer waffling issues. If you spend ~30 years in a miserable relationship, that is a lot of time to contemplate all the ways it could be non-miserable as you pluck tiny ramen noodles out of pillowcase seams.

                                                The question that's left is if she is so excited about th good things that she is ignoring the bad things. And again, I don't think we have a way of making an informed guess off social media and peripheral drama.

                                                But even if she is, her youngest child is more mature than many adults and the older ones seem to have sensible heads on their shoulders - Paydon isn't my cup of tea, but he doesn't seem dependent on her. She is not making a rash move with a dozen toddlers in tow and a baby in the oven like her ex sperm donor. If they get divorced in 3 years, who cares?

                                                Tangentially related, who do y'all think has better odds of staying married long term - Robyn and Kody without a TV show gravy train and 3 wives to take the blame for all the things, or Christine and David rushing to marriage? 😂

                                                  I think they’ll do something low-key and involve all their kids and grandkids, they both have big families and seem to be very involved with them.

                                                  It would be adorable to see and I would absolutely LOVE Christine getting that special money ALL to herself, safe from Kody and Robyn’s sticky fingers!

                                                  The series finale is a three part wedding and honeymoon special of Christine. Beautiful way to end the series!

                                                      I keep thinking of Billy Crystal’s line from When Harry Met Sally, “when you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. “

                                                      They’re older and older people tend to move a little faster because they’re experienced and know what they want. They’re also just engaged, who knows how long they’ll be engaged for?

                                                        People have literally been together 10 years before getting married and get divorced. Some people are together 2 weeks and stay married. Let people take joy where they can.

                                                        Half the people in here get divorced and are projecting their own traumas onto other people.

                                                        And if they get divorced, who cares?

                                                        Y'all think you never should have experienced your first kiss because you aren't with Kevin from the 8th grade and it took away from something because you aren't legally bound for eternity? Let people have their moments, it's really not hard.

                                                        People get married in Vegas for jokes, it's not that serious. Maybe she wants to experience a wedding and a dress and a man just for her very own with support around her and dance the night away. It's going to be ok.

                                                        This is true. I was engaged to my first husband for years before we got married. The marriage didn’t last.

                                                        I met my now husband shortly after. We dated a few times, and he called my work one day and asked for his wife. He was, of course, horrified because it just slipped out! He said he just knew we’d be married the first time we went out - which is surprising because the date was a disaster! I had no interest in a serious relationship, and definitely not looking to get married! But…

                                                        We met, got pregnant, got married, bought a house, and moved twice - all in four months. We hadn’t even met at Thanksgiving, and were married in March. The family was shocked that he hadn’t mentioned a girlfriend at Thanksgiving dinner. They were more shocked when they found out we didn’t know each other!

                                                        We just had our 23rd anniversary. When you know, you know.

                                                        Good for them! We have no idea how long they've been together, and besides, who cares? When you know, you know. How many people have said "I knew within XYZ days/weeks I was going to marry this person"?

                                                        Yes! My dad asked my mom within 3 weeks. She said yes then dumped him 8 months later. He waited and she came back after a few months. Married 69 years before she passed. He is devoted to her/. Visits her gravesite every single day !! I knew I would marry my husband after our 3rd date. Married 37 years

                                                            So she just recently went public y’all. They could have been dating for over a year.

                                                            They’ve been definitely dating for a while now, the show’s timeline is seriously behind.

                                                            Plus, they’re older, they come from similar backgrounds, both have big families, and they know what they want out of life and a partner.

                                                            It doesn’t feel rushed at all!

                                                            They said their first date was to see the play of the Little Mermaid, which was touring Utah in fall/winter 2022, so no, they’ve been dating ~6 months.

                                                              What’s the timeline real life vs show? Is this like two seasons from now? There has to be some serious concern from TLC that all these “spoilers” are leaking. They may need to speed Christine’s spin off to market or the show just may get cancelled if all their storylines are being worked real time.

                                                              Why are they always so behind? Do they just not prioritize the editing?

                                                              There was a period of time where they were almost canceled. Like the seasons were like 2 small seasons a year in the first part of the year and then again in the Autumn. Then in 2013 the show started July 21st, then the next new season was June 8th, nearly a year later. After that they just never caught up again.

                                                              It's awful because other shows on TLC are sometimes like 2-3 months behind. And what the last thing we saw was Janelle talking about the holidays for 2021? So like 18 months behind. I don't know why they haven't thrown in an extra season and bridged that gap.

                                                              Especially now that there’s so much interest in the show, they should have a longer season to get caught up closer to real time.

If it doesn't work out then she can experience a legal divorce lol 🤣. Once you get to the second half of your life you just say fuck let's do this, you could both be dead tomorrow so why the hell not. If she were younger I would agree way too fast, but she's lived a full crazy life and now she's just doing whatever the fuck she wants I support that. Hopefully she's smart enough to get a prenup.

While we were together almost 2 years and 1 child before we married, I moved in with my now husband 4 weeks after we met because my lease was up. I knew it was right and went for it, even though I heard all the comments. Tomorrow is our 23rd anniversary.

                                                                    I still say when you know it's right, you know.

I’m a little concerned based on her saying 2-3 episodes ago any confrontation made her physically ill and she’d stay in her room all day. I hope she’s worked through those issues and her passive aggressive method of communication and resolution she was forced to use in polygamy.

                                                                          Coming from a quasi cult into the real world can be brutal based on any number of memoirs and documentaries even if at first everything seems happy and dream like. She deserves happiness so if he’s understanding I think they can work through anything.
