S08.E04: Maddie Gets Married

[Galloway Cave]

Quote

Madison Brown is getting married, marking the first wedding of all the sister wives' children.

Launching the topic a bit earlier this time!

[jacksgirl]

Thanks Galloway Cave. I do like getting to weddings early so I can sit in front. Just a side note, I sit on the aisle,  I won't move down for late comers. Excited to see the mothers of the bride dresses, hair and makeup.

Any prediction's for tonight's episode?

Clips of Maddie as a young girl, maybe? With the Browns reminiscing.

The Browns reminiscing about their wedding day(s), AGAIN.

Maddie and Caleb talking about how they met.

The Sister Wives talking about how this is a monogamous wedding, and how Maddie will miss out on the benefits of plural marriage.

Then the last thirty minutes will be of the wedding itself, then the reception.

Kody crying. Robyn crying (so surprise here). Christine crying, squealing at times. Janelle stoic.

Just my thoughts. I'd love to hear the thoughts of anyone else.

[Galloway Cave]

You're welcome, jacksgirl. I figured there would be some pre-service mingling going on! Mock-cocktails and appa-teasers in individual plastic cups too.

Predictions:

Kody runs and catches the bouquet, then turns and hugs Caleb.

Mykelti talks about what she will do at her wedding (despite the fact that we will already know from social media).

Words of Wisdom from Truley. Hopefully a bunch of TH from her. Plus a free-ranging Sol driving everyone insane.

Not even taking bets on what the Mothers of the Bride dresses will look like. Come on Meri, please step it up!

Mykelti wearing a white dress?

I was just coming to remove my comment.  I found everything over there.  You were right.....

Janel says she noticed at the furneral of Kody's brother that Maddie and Caleb were making googly eyes at one another and it was obvious. Then cut to Maddie talking about how she and Caleb got to know each other better after the funeral. Her version is that she was going up there to 'help' the aunt (by marriage). And Caleb was also coming around a lot to 'help' the aunt. Maybe I'm cynical. But it seems like Maddie was going up there to hook up with Caleb. Helping aunt was probably just a convenient reason to go. Terrible, I know, but that's where my my immediately went ?

Eagerly waiting to see the part where Kody tells Maddie she is the prettiest bride he's seen. Wonder is Robin will give him the hairy eyeball. Or cut him off later, in the treehouse.

Perhaps someone should remind Janelle that three years ago Maddie was 16 and Caleb was 25.  I would have been deeply concerned if it were my daughter, because she was still a minor.

Well, since in polygamyu older men often marry underage girls it probably didn't even trip any alarms.

[Armchair Critic]

Maddie and Caleb thought it would be too stressful to write their own vows so they thought it would be less stressful to leave it in the hands of Kody who they knew would leave it to the last minute and would need somebody to reign him in. WTF???

[MarysWetBar]

Is that Mykelti or Pariah in the cruella Deville lipstick? I can't tell them apart. They look the most alike of all of them. 

[VedaPierce]

I have yet to see Janelle lift a finger to help Maddie in any way with the wedding.

I had to laugh when she was "helping" with the dreamcatchers, she sat there and said she had the wrong string and then Maddie had to cut her another piece. Yup, not much help.

[tinaw]

Maddie makes a beautiful bride

[Armchair Critic]

I wonder what a mature man like Caleb's father really thinks about manchild Kody?

When I was 21, I dated a guy who was 36. Even though I was grown, my mom was totally against it and let me know often. She said a guy that age dating a girl my age isnt ever a good idea. And that normally men date much younger girls so they can control them. Women their own age have their number and don't usually put up with it as much. Within a month of dating he was talking about when we were going to get married to how I birth his children (homebirth only). I realized my mom was right and  broke things off. He stalked me for close to a year. But to this day, I think about my experience with that older guy, when I see young girls/older men.  Maddie seems like she wears the pants in the relationship though? But I could be reading it wrong. 

[Armchair Critic]

Kody spoiled the groom's cake surprise, what an idiot.

[b2H]

Kody did a bar mitzvah for Hunter because he thought it was cool???

Ee-jit.....

[Chicklet]

This is Death by Wedding.

[escapetoreality]

Is Kody feeling any pressure about the vows???? Oh if we only knew.... Sheesh.

Same thing as the rest of us.  What a douchebag.

[escapetoreality]

"Who gives this bride away?"

"I do. Kody Brown."  We can all see who it is.  What a douche.

Well, you got the clips as a young girl and Maddie and Caleb talking about how they met.  We are pretty close to the last thirty minutes being of the wedding.

You win the prize......  Close enough.

[Armchair Critic]

Kody is stuffed into that vest, I have said before I am no slim shady but every Brown family member walking down that aisle could have stood to lose a few.

MEOW!

Caleb is more emotionally mature than Kody will ever be. Kody always has to be the clown at the center of attention even when it's not his day to shine.

Wouldn't the appropriate answer have been "Her mother and I do"...    Oh, but wait.  Janelle mostly let Christine raise her...

Can I borrow a time machine to go back, and maybe slap some sense into whoever decided to ask Kody to officiate?

Maddie did.  A cautionary tale of be careful what you wish for.

[Armchair Critic]

How classy (and fitting... did I say that?) they have a V I Poo commercial during this show

[Galloway Cave]

Twirling Truly. The only saving grace of this incredibly boring show. 

[Meowwww]

I feel like Christine has really come into her own. She is beautiful.  

[Armchair Critic]

Dial it down Kody... I am cringing in embarrassment just watching him doing this ceremony 

Oh dear....

[MelissaMinion]

What religion is Caleb's father a preacher for? I wonder how hard his teeth are grinding right now?

And yes, Christine and Robin are both beautiful today.

[Armchair Critic]

"Never use sarcasm except with your friends and family". Did Kody just say "poop storm"?

[MelissaMinion]

Ahahahahaha! Kody says "rings? I never did rings...." .   and then TLC cut to the logo shot of the Male Ring, with the 4 attached Female Rings.....

[b2H]

Oh, good lord, Mykelti just got the worst end of the stick.  After weeks of Maddie and her wedding, Mykelti gets a 60 second commercial.  geez.......

[Armchair Critic]

During the commercial break they showed Mykelti and Tony at their wedding. Tony... hahaahaaa at his hair. I am cringing and oh dearing all over again....

Edited December 19, 2016 by Armchair Critic

[Chicklet]

Is "poopstorm" trending on Pinterest yet?

[Galloway Cave]

So did Mykelti's wedding just get a commercial instead of a whole 2-hour episode??!!

[Armchair Critic]

Is Mariah coming out next? Stay tuned....

She most definitely is!!!! 

[b2H]

When I saw Mariah crying during the procession, my thought was, yeah, because this will probably never be you.  It wasn't a nice thought, but even if same sex marriage is legal where she lives, the family isn't going to make this big a deal out of her marriage.

[Armchair Critic]

"I was happy whether they were happy or not". Kody Brown, what a father.

[Absolom]

Mykelti only got the blip on the show tonight because the wedding was just held.  It will take them months to get to it in their timeline for a regular show. 

[Armchair Critic]

So in other words Janelle says she is stuck with sucky people but she stuck it out.

[MelissaMinion]

"Mom gets emotional when it's something that matters to HER..." and her speech is about sticking with your spouse even when the marriage is crappy....

 

I need to stop now, because I'm getting too poop-stormed about how Maddie's parents made this all about them....

[Armchair Critic]

No wonder Caleb will end up shaving his head... he can read the writing on the wall look at his relatives

[VedaPierce]

Janelle's speech was awful. This is what happens when you wing it and don't take the time to really put some thought and effort into your words. She only had an hours long car ride to sit and work on a speech for her daughters' wedding day. Janelle is so lame.
