Only one wedding a year

Think they are getting married this next month.

I think the problem stems from the idea that whomever marries Kody's daughters will take over his fatherly role for them, instead of concentrating on making their daughters strong, independent women that can take care of themselves. Not even having a conversation with Mykelti before her boyfriend asked for permission to marry her is way screwed up. And, yes, they both seem very immature and ill equipped for marriage.

I think the Browns thought because they had raised their kids in such an open way and put emphasis on education and because they are all so smart, they would finish their education before getting married. I guess they didn't take into account some of them would be just like them - minus the polygamy - so far. 

BINGO! It's all about TLC footing the bill, and negotiating that took time. I'll never believe otherwise.

"No no no. What's ridiculous is postponing a MARRIAGE (not just the wedding) because your sister got engaged first. What's ridiculous is thinking that joyous events are somehow less so if there's two of them. What's ridiculous is the expectation of brides and grooms to reserve an entire block year for their wedding. They get a day, not a year. You actually expect Mykelti or anyone to now be delayed in having kids by a year? What if several years down the line these girls end up getting pregnant at the same time? Should one have an abortion or an emergency premature c section because apparently some people can't share the spotlight? Absurd. If they're really right for each other, yes or course they COULD wait a year or two but why? No reason. The very thought of postponing life is so silly."


I think you make some valid points here. I thought it was ridiculous the way Janelle's nose was getting out of joint because another of Kody's daughters was going to get married TWO MONTHS afterwards! What the heck?? Hasn't the excitement of the wedding faded a bit after TWO MONTHS? But I am guessing that they are just thinking that it's too much to pull together....you can't put a wedding together in a couple of months because the venue has to be chosen and booked far in advance... along with many other aspects of the wedding. (Caterers, etc.) ... so that would mean dealing with two at once and it really is a lot of stress!

Now this is just MY opinion here.... but I think Tony and Mykelti should wait because even though they are seeing stars and are "so much in love".... as many people know, sometimes once you have known a person longer you see some serious character faults or incompatibilities that would make a successful marriage quite difficult. I would guess that everyone just wants the couple to see if the flame is still burning after a few more months. If so - GREAT! If not - ALSO great - because they can both go find someone who is a better match.

Jupiter, respectfully, I don't think you're seeing Christine's and Kody's point at all.

First, Mykelti and Tony DO NOT know each other that well as they've only been dating, at the time this was filmed which was earlier this year, for about 5 months. Mykelti also, probably purposely, has not brought Tony around to get to know the family that much. Christine is thinking of this aspect of the situation.

Secondly, Maddie had a lavish wedding back in June that, at the very least, they are making it look like that Kody paid for (it's up for debate as to whether or not TLC footed the bill for it but most--me included--think they did). Kody is looking and thinking of the financial impact of having another lavish wedding so soon after Maddie's.

Thirdly, all the sisters wives alluded to the fact that Mykelti seems to be of the mind set that she's in some sort of competition with Maddie because they are close in age.

To me, it's of no consequence when they get married because Kody did get his way and Mykelti did not get married in August and I believe they are indeed getting married this next month and another poster commented that Mykelti was given a shower last weekend.

Considering Mykelti is only 19 years old, has only been seeing tony for 5 months, and has a history of making spur of the moment rash decisions and not following through on them, it seems like waiting a year or so would be the smart thing to do.

There is nothing wrong with parents asking their daughters to wait for a time between weddings- especially when the parents are paying for it ( I realize TLC could be paying). Planning a wedding can be all consuming, and emotionally as well as financially exhausting. I think it is immature and selfish for Mykelti to even bring it up such a short time before Madison's wedding, and expect the family to put on a wedding just a few short months afterwards. Tony's entitled, immature comment about Kody taking out a home equity loan to pay for their wedding speaks volumes.
