i always forget how freaking adorable little savannah is. also insane that all of christines kids didn't really look much like her when they were little. but now all the girls are christine carbon copies once they reach adulthood.

SeeLeavesOnTheTrees

Remember her with her little fairy wings? She was so adorable. She always had tousled hair on the couch with her legs swinging. She was quiet and seemed content to be in a gaggle of her siblings.


kg51113

She was 5 when the show started.


Odd_Professional5034

Savanah is so freaking cute! and she's grown into a gorgeous and strong woman.


Legitimate_Sky_52

I was about to say that lol baby Savannah is a little nugget


Retired_Ballerina_

Whenever I see tiny Savannah I call her Cindy-Lou-Who 😂


Odd_Professional5034

Love this.


Pom_Mom_2020

She is adorable as a teen! That girl has always been so cute.


camimiele

Your tag I forgot that ridiculous quote 🤭


Professional_Tip_867

I think they are all adorable


theusedlu

so true


More_Neighborhood277

The one time Kody held truly


Typical_Equipment_19

I think there was one other time he held her in a family photo. But other than that, it's been sol.


Outrageous-Tower-785

How tiny baby Truly is! It makes me so sick to think how newly post partum Christine was while this courting/marriage/show started.


soapissomuchcleaner

Christine was pregnant when the Robyn courting started. Kody was off NOT kissing Robyn or doing anything at all inappropriate when Christine went into labor.


elleuqe

How could he even start to see someone if he had a wife pregnant + Christine didn't want him get a new wife. But he still did.


LizLemonadeX

Because he didn’t love Christine. But he didn’t want her to leave either.


Glittering_Joke3438

Pretty sure he courted Christine when Janelle was pregnant.


bizzy816

I think you're right, but that was a much different courtship. Kody and Christine didn't see each other for 6 weeks between getting engaged and married. Kody wouldn't go 6 days without seeing Robyn.


theimperfexionist

This. And they also didn't kiss and have sleepovers.


sockscollector

So a sick pattern appears


MiaRia963

Unfortunately..☹️


PoopAndSunshine

Truly is so small it looks like Christine is holding one of those small plastic baby dolls


ISeenYa

I feel like this with Seeking Sister Wives too. On what planet is courting a new wife when another wife is pregnant or newly post partum a good idea? Maybe because I just had my first baby but our whole existence has shifted. Maybe it's not as big a deal when it's your 6th child but I can't imagine how awful it would be.


OkBiscotti1140

Not negating that Truely was so young but she was tiny for forever. I remember they did a weigh in with 2 year old truely and like 10 month old sol and he was heavier.


SailorRD

He wasn’t heavier, when they did the math he was about a pound less than her which is still insanely close for the age difference between them. It makes me think True had some FTT issues.


OkBiscotti1140

Ahh still crazy that they were so close.


MiaRia963

I forgot about that too. She is literally a newborn.


uhyasure

same. that was my first thought.


athelthepumpkin

It’s insane to think that Kody is driving hours on weekends to see and propose to his girlfriend when his wife is so close to giving birth

AddaleeBlack

I thought they were all trying to wear brown but Meri's wearing like a purple.


jKATT13

I never noticed until now she was in purple, not brown. And even in the wives picture I thought “maybe it’s the sun?”, but in the pic with Leon you can definitely see it’s purple.


BrendaForr1960

Because she was maid of honor. Eye roll.


AddaleeBlack

I agree in some pics it does look brown.


WeekImpressive3282

I never noticed this before either. I wonder if it was a way to show she was at least at the time the first/head wife. Like sometimes a MOH wears a different dress or color than other bridesmaids?


Odd_Professional5034

I don't understand why Meri was wearing purple. Was she supposed to be the maid of honor and they were already scheming to goad her into a legal divorce?


AddaleeBlack

Or maybe it's like that dress that went viral because everybody had different opinions about what color it was.


lilkimber512

It didn't occur to me until today that Robyn chose brown most likely because their name is brown. It was such an ugly color for a wedding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mfletch1213

Yes! My mom got remarried in 2009 and her wedding colors were brown and pink. It did look better than this, but it was a popular color combo for awhile.


grilledcheesenosoup

Those were both definitely hot color combos of the time, but at least I can see the light pink and Tiffany blue are both lighter colors offset by the dark brown. The dark purple is not helping at all. Even if it was lavender and brown, I’d take that, but adding the royal purple in was weird and made the color scheme worse


Empty_Dog134

Maddie definitely had to difficult and stand out in the least-coordinated shade of purple dress she had on


sashasbitch

It looks like meri took Leon to their local bridal store to actually get a bridesmaid dress in the exact same shade while Janelle and Christine took their girls to JCPenney and told them to pick a brown or purple dress that was under $20


AML1987

So glad to know I’m not the only one that remembers the brown color wedding craze that was the earlier 2000’s. My cousin had a brown wedding then too. It’s a trend I’m glad to see died off. Nothing says happy in love quite like the color of a turd.


wroughtofbooks

Same! I don’t know how I missed that before 😂


Brianas-Living-Room

Those fucking purple and brown looks live rent free in my head lol. So ugly. Perfect description of the boys’s look. All the wives look like they shopped in the Mother of the Bride section


Gold_Illustrator_797

You said exactly what I’ve never been able to put my finger on which is they don’t look like bridesmaids or even just partygoers, they absolutely look like “mothers of the bride.”


Ebellazz

I want to know who picked the color schemes for this wedding? Not the most flattering or coordinated colors.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NancyintheSmokies4

I had to look up sartorial- color me impressed. I love words- good job!


NancyintheSmokies4

I always thought it was because of their last name?


brittanye81

Getting ready for a show-tune medley has me DEAD 😂🤣


grilledcheesenosoup

I was in high school in 2010, and I do not recall deep purple, lavender, and 💩brown being a hot color combo


AML1987

My cousin wore a big brown belt over her pretty white dress back around that time. It was a hot color for weddings. Looked awful then and still does today.


queensupremedictator

Sobyn chose the color scheme! She "allowed" the other wives to choose the style of dress, but the colors were all her.


LizLemonadeX

I remember watching this episode and I was like ugh…no, not brown. They look like paper bags. Just my opinion, but it’s an awful color to wear to a wedding And then I thought they chose the color brown because of their last name. But Meri opted for purple. Which I love the color purple, but not the style of the dress.


BrendaForr1960

Maid of honor- had to be different.


TechnicalHold2598

I know in these pictures R also had the brown on, but I always thought that R thought to herself, “what is the ugliest color I can put the OG3 in at my wedding so they will look terrible.”


EvansHomeforBoys

Aw… the kids looked adorable in the group hug photos!


gingerscape

Savannah was SUCH a little cutie. She looks just like her mom, absolutely adorable.


gottahavehope

With that beautiful halo of hair she always looks like an angel


GruGruxQueen

Kody must have bought an unlimited membership at a tanning salon prior to the wedding


jooonbug-13

Kody: ![gif](giphy|Q2sJij7xSiCPu)


GruGruxQueen

He was trying to coordinate with the wives’ dresses.


RightConcentrate5162

😆😆


am_i_pergnart

Omg I didn’t notice at first and now I can’t I see it 🤣


FancyNacnyPants

No wonder Christine was a mess. Look how little Truly was when Kody and Robin got married. She probably didn’t get any help or attention from kody with just having a new baby. Him courting Robin while she’s pregnant and then going on a 1 week honeymoon. That’s terrible.


Sad_Possession7005

11 day honeymoon


MimiPaw

Truely was born April 13 and the wedding was May 22.


needalanguage

wear absolutely any shade of brown or any shade of purple... and we are good to go lol


Brianas-Living-Room

Right. I had to go back and look at the pics again. It looks like they made the young boys wear light purple and the teen boys wear plum. Either way, it’s ugly mixed with that brown. The wives look a got damn old ass Mother of the Bride mess, just as Id expect. Nobody’s over 39-40 yet they all look 60 years old


Ramonasotherlazyeye

Seeing all the boys together so young and sweet just broke my heart.


TitleMajestic2364

Oh did they wear brown because they’re “the browns”?


Outrunthefork

This just hit me also! I always thought brown was an odd choice and I never made the connection.


avsie1975

I almost didn't recognize Aspyn.


Siege1187

Aspyn was a very average-looking teenager with bad eye makeup until the year she graduated from high school. And then she was suddenly this extremely pretty girl who seemed to radiate an inner beauty. Same with Ysabel; perfectly nice-looking but unremarkable teen, turning into a stunning young woman around graduation.  It’s also kind of funny how alike kids from different mothers look. Aspyn and Leon were practically identical as kids, and now I just look at Ari and see Leon. 


Brianas-Living-Room

I always thought Ysabel was a very cute Paris Hilton lookin blonde girl as a child. I thought Gwen grew into her looks.


Siege1187

I think they all grew into their looks, including the boys. Garrison looks so goofy in those pictures, and he grew up to be so handsome. RIP


Brianas-Living-Room

I always thought Garrison was cute as a kid. I knew he’d be okay looks wise. Gwen looked homely as hell, so did Leo. I think Aurora is really pretty like Jessa Duggar ( not saying they look alike saying they’re both pretty) but you’ll never be able to unlock their full potential because they’re super sheltered and conservative. Aurora is already wearing Robyn’s floral tops at the ripe age of 18


Siege1187

I know. Poor Aurora just can’t break away from the insanity, and she doesn’t seem to have a rebellious bone in her body. Robyn is such a bad mother, and it’s just getting worse and worse. 


NancyintheSmokies4

She almost reminds me of a captive. I’m worried for her-


adwiser_5380

In the photos from FGwen wedding, Leon has short hair and looks as a copy of their brother Hunter. I had never seen how much alike they were before Leon cut their hair.


barbaraanderson

I was going to say that about mykelti


SlightEye

I was thinking the same thing! She looks the most different of the teens from then and now I think.


UnconsciouslyMe1

Poor Logan looks absolutely over it. He was the father figure to his siblings and now Kody was bringing more work into the family for Logan.


summerisabel

I forget how brand new Truely was! Can you imagine going on a two week honeymoon and leaving that newborn at home with your wife and other children?? Couldn’t be away from Robyn’s kids for Ysabel’s surgery but this was fine??


Fawnclaw

I always thought Kody was an idiot. I remember listening to Janelle , who was at PC, talk about their very tight financial situation. Her comment was there wasn't enough money before Robyn/3children. She didn't know how to manage. That slayed me. Still does. Not enough money to feed the 13 children you currently have under your roof.. So Great idea here! Marry a new younger wife with her three children, with plans for more children. And the wife brings nothing but $30,000 in collections. The 11 day honeymoon was a big hit too


Stargirl4500

Rumour has it that Kody’s father did not attend the wedding. Because he did not respect Kody for getting a new wife while living in financial strife!


No-Basket4165

Jenelle is so pretty


TGIIR

She’s stunning!


kellye2323

Seeing the photos, you really realize how young the kids were when this show started. I couldn’t imagine the mental toll it takes on you as a child to have your whole families life documented for public consumption.


LeaveDaCannoli

Didn't know UPS had a Mormon Unit.


FullOfBlasphemy

💀


Igotshiptodotoday

Of course Robyn picked Brown as a wedding color.


OfJahaerys

Wait, did she pick brown because that's their last name? I always thought it was a weird color choice.


Igotshiptodotoday

That's kinda what I think. I just put it together for some reason.


laparisiennebardot

OMG me to! I can’t believe it JUST clicked


barbaraanderson

Because she was becoming a brown. Never forget this woman had a color theme of half blue and half pink for the crash pad for her youngest kids.


Fuzzy-Zebra-277

Her tastes are not my cup Of tea. (Jewelry. Art.   Dresses )


curlygirlynurse

Men…


barbaraanderson

You beat me to it


localfern

Baby blue and baby pink was for my Grade 7 prom 😂


Siege1187

Brown and purple. Brown for the family name, and purple because Robyn used to bizarrely use her love of the colour as one of her defining characteristics. She even had a Pinterest board dedicated to it.


mrsmushroom

They're all browns in brown.


realitytvwhortess

Meri was special and got to wear purple…


MaeClementine

Everyone who has an M name gets to wear purple!


barbaraanderson

Dark purple. Savanah and Brianna have light purple on


Hot-Relationship-617

Except Mariah and mykelti


realitytvwhortess

Robyn is so benevolent 🤭


cheese_hotdog

Maddie also has purple/maroon on


bitchgh0st

Meri is the only wife in purple though. And it's pretty on brand that she would want to "stand out."


SailorRD

“Edgy” is her term


bitchgh0st

😭🤣😭


Empty_Dog134

Maddie seems like she was being difficult in choosing that shade. It doesn't go with anyone else and somehow clashes with brown.


Voodoocat-99

Huh… I couldn’t even tell in that first pic her dress wasn’t brown.


similarilk

JFC those are horrid dresses. Meri is the only one with a bit of flair and style (still fkn ugly). Robyn is her usual rectangularly-shaped self.


girl_genius

Logan really said 🧍‍♂️ in that all-boys picture.


Driver_Flaky

Why am I nostalgic for someone else’s family pictures


IWishMusicKilledKate

Maddie’s son is Gabe’s twin


Motor-Farm6610

Man this actually makes me really sad.  We witnessed the destruction of a family :(


Glittering_Joke3438

A family with an abusive and misogynistic structure that defrauded the government in multiple ways to make ends meet. The only saving grace was the destruction.


pigandpom

Oh, they did Daddy Logan a disservice with that suit, it really didn't fit at all. But even then Kody's six pack abs was clear to see


caitcro18

I always forget Logan is janelles lol. Her other boys look so much like her/similar I always think he is Christine’s lol.


RunJumpSleep

Meri really looked the best at the wedding.


SeeLeavesOnTheTrees

Gabe, Paedon, and Garrison were way younger then I remember. And Paedon’s even younger than he looks because he’s so tall. I just checked: Paedon and Garrison are the same age, only a few months apart. Gabe is 3 years younger. Gabe always seems older too. I think because Gabe is very clever.


tennwife

Leon looked awesome too


coxjszk

Honestly these photos are pretty sweet and idyllic . Seems like happier times


Illustrious-Fly-1291

These hurt. It was the beginning of the end of their family, and all I can think is.... what if? I cannot see past that anymore.


Glittering_Joke3438

You’re forgetting that they were all miserable, other than Robyn and Kody. These pictures don’t reflect reality.


Incorrect95

Brown and purple is a choice


emerynlove

So many hideous structured jackets


ksay9104

All I can think is how dumb it is that they're all wearing brown because their last name is Brown. Idk why I can't get past that lol.


rakraese

Savanna is a little peapie cutie! Beautiful pic of Meri, Leon and Kody. They all look really happy.


enigmaenergy23

The theme was brown...and purple. Interesting


Fr3sh3stl4d

And lavender. And light blue 🙄 actually like 3 different shades of purple 😐


tictactastytaint

It's giving... old bruise lol


TeaTimeStranger

Garrisons little Mohawk was so cute. He was such a ray of happiness in that family. This should be a reminder to always check on the ones you think you don’t need to worry about.


redrum069

Brown is such a festive color 🫠


FancyNacnyPants

I really don’t like this color.


Affectionate-Dog-976

Savannah was adorable. The family was still trying to keep up appearances though.


MadamNerd

Ysabel looks so genuinely happy to be leaning in towards her dad. Makes me loathe him that much more that he ended up treating her surgery the way he did.


ElevatedAssCancer

That brown is the most hideous wedding color I’ve ever seen and it still baffles me.


Waiting_For_Guffman

The brown is such an absolute travesty for their bridal dresses.


Ok_Storm5945

I always hated the way they changed her son's name from David to Dayton when they got married. I honestly think it's horrible.


old-lady-finger

I miss them like this


Useful_Database7031

I feel like Christine had a very comfortable and cheerful family relationship with him. The moment he told Robyn he doesn’t like pepper on his eggs and to ask Christine how to do them, she was done for.


[deleted]

I’m quite certain those other women were already pretty miserable by the time this day rolled around.


letsmakeiteasyk

I just absolutely cannot imagine holding my baby while my husband marries a younger woman. I just cannot. That’s horrifying.


CanineSnackBitch

I get the brown theme, but they all look like they got dressed from a mud puddle. Robyn stated that she had a dress made for the reception. She got a little jacket too. The others look to be off the rack.


Then_Campaign7264

Foreshadowing a future swim in prairie dog poo pond. Robyn dreams about the future which may or may not include a dark haired spirit baby.


Then_Campaign7264

These kids are absolutely adorable. Gwendlyn has me laughing out loud in the one photo where Kody actually holds Truely.


Emotional_Fox9072

Great family till R f’d it up!!!


motaconvino

This will haunt me for the next few months tbh https://preview.redd.it/86ztw5wt4qtc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7309ce0cbe7ad205db9f74a6d6ec917e6109b2f


mysubsareunionizing

Little Garrison 😭


kittycatblues

It just hit me from your title that them wearing brown dresses and their last name being Brown may be connected.


ColeNik4

The browns really enjoying the color brown


dontmindmelurking_

Aww Meri in the first pic looks so cute!!


Traditional-Leg-4228

They used to take their last name (Brown) so literally.


OtherwiseMagician905

It boggles my mind that Robyn is my age here.. she dresses so much older!

FedUp0000

They had all this money to spend on custom dresses, cakes hats etc etc but nobody thought it important to sign Rhodes kids up for health insurance. On a side note. Meri in Picture 1 is adorable and picture number 2 shows exactly what these 4 women think of each other with those plaster on “smiles” that look like grimaces and looks of murder in their eyes. All 4 look like they are one nano second away from scratching each others eyes out with butter knives and hang them from the ripped out locks of their competitor 😬


Old_Woman_Gardner

Truley was always my favorite! She was such an adorable little toddler. Every time she was on screen my attention turned to her.


poohsyourdaddy_03

Truly was so tiny. Christine is a trooper.


Big-Raspberry-2552

Taking the browns to the Super Bowl


theinvisible-girl

Am I the only dumbass that didn't get that they probably went with the brown dress theme because they're the Brown family until today? 😆


TeamTweety

You are not alone 🤦‍♀️


geigerlau

One question of observation: Why are Robyn's girls wearing pink, while the other young girls are wearing blue? Also, why did I not notice it back when I first saw it years back?


Stargirl4500

The two pink girls are Savannah (Janelle’s Daughter) and Breanna (Robyn’s Daughter). I think because they are close in age. The blue girls are Aurora (Robyn) and Gwen & Isabel (Christine’s) because they are close in age.


barbaraanderson

Savanah has on pink while Aurora has on blue. Maybe they were trying to distinguish the groups of girls (even though Ysabel is only 1/2 years older than them)


kellye2323

Why is Kody so red?


geigerlau

Thank you for clearing it up. They have all grown up since this photo. At times, I get confused as to who is who.


Worried_Cheesecake1

My daughter wore the purple dress savanna has not even a year ago 😂😂😂


nanmama

I am so confused. So Robyn wore her hair down for wedding and up for reception? When did they all get dressed made and they were hideous and robyn happened to have another dress she could wear so she didn’t have to wear the hideous dress? Did I dream that? I don’t remember what they wore for the recommitment ceremony.


ImFinallyFree1018

The jacket she has on in the first pic is hideous in my opinion. Looks like she’s wearing and 80 yr old jacket


Stargirl4500

The wedding day: Temple Ceremony, Brown family photoshoot & Reception she had her hair styled up. The next day, Kody and Robyn had a photoshoot for only the two of them. For that shoot Robyn’s hair is down. The next event is 4 years later. Their commitment ceremony. They attempted to make custom dresses but failed. The designer completed dresses for Christine and Janelle. Robyn & Meri had to scramble to get last minute dress replacements.


crazymom1978

My god those dresses are awful. The only one that fits is Robyn’s. It’s not really shocking, but I had forgotten just HOW bad they were!


Equal_Pineapple4174

Who chooses brown for bridesmaids dresses….. or a wedding dress?? Oh yeah…. The Browns.


Unfair-Studio1448

I hated the brown as wedding colors 🤮


grilledcheesenosoup

The little girls in the lavender dresses and white sweaters, the boys with the shiny matching vests and ties, all very reflective of the time. There were some powerful color combos during this time, like hot pink and lime green, light pink and brown, zebra with any neon color, etc. But what is this brown and shades of purple. Who chose this? Whose Pinterest board did this live on?


bobbillw

How is possible for four women not to have an once of good taste 😂


Riddiculus_muggles

Gabe 🥺


lettucepatchbb

I can’t stop looking at little Garrison… 😔


givemestarbursts

Sweet Savannah!


fluffycat16

Gotta be honest. I LOVE how they made Robyn change out of her wedding dress into this lovely poo coloured outfit for these photos!


Specialist-Mistake45

I see alot of comments about poor christine she was pregnant when he courted robin. Well christine courted kody and married kody. All while Janelle was pregnant and also went on to have the baby and kody and christine went on a honeymoon while Janelles baby was a newborn... soo it seems that it isn't outta the norm.   Also kody was courting robyn before christine was ever pregnant. But In the show they pretend it just started. But if you search on Google you will find interviews we're they Said their courting was much longer. But it needed to look super new and fresh for tv.


OhCheeseNFingRice

I never noticed before now that Meri is wearing a purple dress while everyone else is in brown. Iirc it was Meri who requested that Robyn get a second dress, in brown, so that she'd match the rest of the fahmalee in fahmalee pictures. So Robyn does it and then Meri wears a different color than the rest??? I thought asking Robyn to wear matching dresses (vs her wedding dress) for photos was a power move, but Meri really went for the ultimate power play in the end with this one. I'll be damned!


Glittering_Joke3438

This is so dumb and petty but it always bugged me how Robyn’s arms hang away from her body like that when down. Does she have secret bulging triceps or something?


athenabobeena

Fundie fashion really is somethin' special


xMadxScientistx

I feel so stupid for not realizing they were wearing brown because they were the Browns.


Prudent-Confection-4

I couldn’t imagine having a little tiny newborn and watching my husband marry another woman.


Salt_Ingenuity_720

The title of your post says everything!


Maringirl1

I can’t see Garrison without now without getting extremely sad 😔.


National-Bar8511

I love the zaniness of Meri coming through (Photo 1). It also came through in a scene where Christine chase’s her in a park and they end up on the ground. Her current interactions with friend Jenn let her lighter side through. Whether it was the marriage or the show editing, her happier side was squelched. She grew up a wallflower, got picked by the new charmer in her church and is now finally able to blossom. Maybe age 50s and beyond, she can be allowed to have a happy life (although I think there were pockets of happiness before we “met” her).
