That’s doesn’t make it a great idea, but it’s better than any of that other crap that was gleefully entered without experience or business plans but no one cared. Even though I don’t think it’s a good idea, it bothers me that it isn’t Meri’s mistake to make. Her kid is grown and she’s divorced. Kody clearly doesn’t want her.able to go create So she should be able to go create this new life or fail at it without their approval. They are against it because she wouldn’t be there all the time even though they don’t actually care if she’s there or not. Meri can't financially buy the house on her own, so she needs their help to finance the house so actually she does need their approval. She said that in the meeting with them. 5 Link to comment

Spiderella2 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 (edited) And they are back for more. So ToKyleti (strange even typing that) are quite entitled with all their demands for the wedding. And very out of touch with the realities of throwing a “huge party”. It sounds like Tony wants a circus party for everyone he’s ever met in his life, while Mykelti wants something more elegant and polished. Why don’t the Browns just give her a Reasonable budget and don’t give a cent more?. Say, Maddie’s wedding cost us $X, and you will get the same adjusted for inflation. Anything else, you have to come up with in your own. Keep the formula for all the other kids. Are they covering the entire or most of the wedding? It seems like that to me. The third property fit all their requirements, even had a bride and groom changing suite that was quite posh and not in a toilet. But Mykelti went with the 1st one because she vibes with the wedding planner. She probably saw how stressed Maddie was without one and desperately wants one. Does she not realize she could hire a wedding planner, and go with a dream venue? Meri , why buy a B&B in a backwards podunk town, 3hrs from an airport, with only a 3 month winter seasonal tourist season? Who do you really think will be coming to spend money here? It’s so out of the way that even your most rabid fans won’t or can’t venture too. And you don’t have that many fans in general, let alone those dedicated to come all the way to Podunk, spend all that money to come see you. It’s a horrible business potential, even with her social “celebrity” capital. Tell the truth, you want this as a settlement, and you are tired and ditching this horrible travesty of a marriage with Kodouche. I think the B&B business is just a ploy to finally establish her own life away from Kody, with a huge financial security blanket endowed from the family. That the other wives even went along with this financially was unfair to their kids and ridiculous. Once again, here is another prime example of Meri getting a bigger slice of the pie for herself. It won’t take off, but if it was a hit, I doubt she would share all the profits with the other wives. They are horrible business people...way too emotional. For once I agree with Kody.

Popular Post JDAlexander January 8, 2018 Popular Post Share January 8, 2018 According to the Iron County Appraisal District, Meri bought the B&B on October 19, 2017. The tax appraisal is $276,321 but there is a "consideration" of $346,500 from Stearns Lending (so I'm assuming this was the mortgage amount). Now how they were approved for yet another mortgage is beyond crazy. 1 27 Link to comment

Granny58 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 First thing that irked....Kody asking Tony if his parents would have any prejudices about polygamy. Sorry Kody, it's not prejudice....it's an opinion. Just because somebody doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it is a prejudice. Prejudice literally means pre-judge. It was stated that they live near St. George. Don't you think it is possible that they have considered the lifestyles of their neighbors and decided against it? Also, they are Catholic which doesn't condone polygamy. Also, Meriah....ugh. What a sullen brat. Any bigger chips on her shoulders and she'll look like Alexis Carrington. 22 Link to comment

Popular Post ghoulina January 8, 2018 Popular Post Share January 8, 2018 This show is so far behind. What's the point of watching Mykelti plan a wedding that happened over a year ago??? I do have to say, though. I don't like Tony. I just don't. I'm glad Christine grew to love and accept him, but I can't get on board with that dude. The Browns can claim he's "mischievous" and just "likes to push buttons". But I just see a disrespectful little shit. Who talks the way he does in front of his inlaws??? It's just annoying how funny he thinks he is, how controversial. He's a dumb, little dork. And Kody is his usual douchey self. Completely flipping out over the table and chair placement. "This has been planned by an emotional woman, not an engineer". Yea, because a lot of engineers spend their time on seating configurations. And you want to talk "emotional"? You're the only one yelling, sweetheart. Oh, and he thinks he's done having kids at his age, because - and I quote - "I don't ever want my kids growing up feeling lonely for a parent". Too late, fucker. Seen any of Christine's kids lately? Without being bribed by gym mats??? Tony's parents seemed cool, though. His mom appeared very sweet and it wasn't lost on me that she jumped right in to help clean up dinner. And WHO are these 400 people they need to invite to their wedding? I know I'm kind of a loner, but 400 people??? Seriously? Are they inviting all of their SM followers? That's just outrageous. If you want that many people, you need to plan something cheaper than a fancy country club. Who do these fools think they are? FLOVE Truly being over the flower girl gig. And that Kody isn't officiating this time. I KNEW the whole "Meri moving out" controversy wouldn't be what they were building it up to be. Personally, as much as I can't stand Meri, I'd like to see her get some distance from the family. I think it would be good for her. I'm not sure if the B&B is the best idea, but I totally get the sentimentality behind it. I'm very into family ancestry, and history in general. I get the allure. Would it be profitable, is the question? It seems like the current owner doesn't have a high occupancy rate. Maybe she could drum up some other business by renting the dining room out to local businesses for functions and what-not. Do more than just weddings out back. I don't know....this is just the most animated I've seen her in a long time. During the couch sessions - she just sits there. The other wives are cutting up and having a good time. Meri? Nothing. This is something that brings her joy, and I think it would be good for Annie as well. Maybe they could sell Meri's house (although, who'd want to share the cul-de-sac with these people???) to come up with the money for it. That's a whole lot of wasted house for one person. 31 Link to comment

He's really showing himself to be an asshat. His mischievous joking is just passive aggression and a ploy for attention. He has zero self-awareness, same as his wife (UUGGGHH I can't believe those children are married). His whole story that Hispanic people bring friends, children, etc. to events without proper invitation is bunk. I live in an area with a large Hispanic population and I've never seen anyone behave that way. Maybe it's not the culture is just that he hangs with people who have no manners. Either way, they need a budget and to stick with it. Kody should tell the kids that everyone get X amount of money. They can have a wedding or go to the courthouse and use the money to start their lives. I know which way I would choose. So many people plan every intricate detail of the wedding, but don't plan or work on the marriage. That's why people end up divorced. 27 Link to comment

More focus on the marriage and less on the wedding would be awesome! When two people are as obnoxious as Tony and Mykelti........I would imagine that the guests are only showing up to be polite and/or respectful of their parents. Those two have shown that they aren't mature enough to wrangle up a picnic. And their boss? He doesn't seem to know much about them. at all. I sense that couple lives in a fantasy land. and I don't believe much of what they say. Some of my other observations include: OMG. They all seem to have gotten out of control with food. They all now seem to have very enlarged middles. Is Robyn pregnant again? IF she has loose skin, then, I'm not including her. That can't be helped. But, most need medical check ups and wake up calls. It's way overtime. The adult kids are out of control too. It's painful to watch, imo. I'd send the wedding planner to the kitchen to get the price on the tacos. Even, with low cost food, 400 guests is too many. Those adult kids are crazy. NUMBERS on paper are more powerful that just looking shocked. And the idea of Tony and Mykelti at a country club? lol Considering their style and taste, I'd say that Chucky Cheese might make more sense. Their plans are more fitting for a child's birthday party, as someone mentioned upthread. I sense that the wives support Meri's B&B idea, in hopes that it will take her 3 hours away. But, at what cost? Kody is right. B&B's don't produce much profit, even under ideal conditions. It's just a vanity project.

Popular Post islandgal140 January 8, 2018 Popular Post Share January 8, 2018 (edited) What kind of world am I living in when a Sister Wives show airs and Kodi is prominent in it yet he: 1) isn't the biggest braying jackass and 2) I actually agree with him about something? The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west right? Congrats Tony. You are the biggest loser and no you haven't lost weight. In fact, during the couch THs you looked to have put on a good 30-50 lbs. He is an annoying jackass. Mykelti and Tony are such entitled little shits. Last season, after announcing their engagement and demanding an August wedding, directly on the heels of Maddy's wedding, Tony essentially shrugged his shoulders when questioned about the expense and said "the family could take a mortgage out" to pay for his and Mykelti's wedding. There was a twitter backlash and Christine and the others rushed to his defense saying he was kidding. Well, I didn't believe that mess then and I doubly don't believe it after this episode. Kodi and Christine, instead of hemming and hawing and saying 400 was a lot, should have just set a budget and anything over that amount they are responsible for. Did they ever get confirmation that the venue they chose actually could hold 400? I actually don't think taco stands are a bad idea. I just hope that they serve abundant hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour and offer chicken and fish tacos along with beef because not everyone eats red meat. There is significant cost savings though in them not serving alcohol. I also seem to remember last season Mykelti wanting the wives and sibs to put together some fakata fabric floral arrangements, so if they go that route, not paying for fresh flowers are a significant savings also. Goodness help me I agreed with Kodi about wanting to see a business plan but have to LOL! when I think back a few season about their presentation of Sister Wives' closet's business plan to a group of investors.

Piñata, taco truck blah, blah, blah were all over Pinterest a few years ago. I laughed when FT said tacos are cheap because all you need to pay for is the meat. So who is going to make a bazillion tacos? He had no idea how a catered event works. When they posted pictures of the wedding LAST YEAR, everyone looked liked they were freezing.

Seriously, it is not like 27 people are going to be involved in the same conversation at the same time. You speak to the people seated directly beside you and directly across from you. You shouldn't be yelling down to someone located 20 people away from you. It was all just too much and too chaotic. It should have been a dinner with Mykelti's immediate family and maybe the sister wives and the rest could have just been introduced after or before the dinner or maybe just came over for dessert/coffee, but that would've made too much sense. 17 Link to comment
Calibabydolly January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 I think one of the Sister Wives followers (cult) would love to snatch up Meri's house in a second! They would actually be a fly on the wall. Can you imagine what they would watch out their windows and doors? I wonder what she would get for her house in this market today? Las Vegas has really went up in prices. 3 Link to comment

In many instances, the extended family gets together at a big party . . . like a wedding. I agree; it should have been the parents and Mykelti and Tony the first time. They didn't need to have all those people there around one big table. All for show. Oh, and Kody's comment that the tables were put together by an emotional woman rather than an engineer? Is he driving trains now? LOL. 5 minutes ago, Calibabydolly said: I think one of the Sister Wives followers (cult) would love to snatch up Meri's house in a second!

Las Vegas has really went up in prices. Well, after My Sisterwives Closet went online, the most common comment from the cult followers was, "Oooooh. We LOVE the jewelry, but it's out of our price range. ($80ish) Reading the comments on their social media, one would assume that most of them didn't finish high school, much less college, and their idea of a big cash inflow is when their tax refund comes. 4 Link to comment

But Tony’s parents?!?! Huh? Wasn’t Christine’s mother (Annie) the one who wants Christine out of the polygamist lifestyle? You think that maybe she is starting with Meri since she can see Meri leaving before Christine? The Kodouch should only shell out the same amount of money he paid for the last kid’s wedding. If it doesn’t stretch for 400 people, then Fatter Tony and Mykelti should pony up the rest. I was shocked how casual Fatter Tony’s parents were about the polygamous family. Fatter Tony! Totally LOLd! And Meri should have the first two letters of her name in caps ME-ri, cause me, me, me. 8 Link to comment

Sorry Kody, it's not prejudice....it's an opinion. Just because somebody doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it is a prejudice. Prejudice literally means pre-judge. It was stated that they live near St. George. Don't you think it is possible that they have considered the lifestyles of their neighbors and decided against it? Also, they are Catholic which doesn't condone polygamy. Also, Meriah....ugh. What a sullen brat. Any bigger chips on her shoulders and she'll look like Alexis Carrington. Mariah is Meri all over again. Both are selfish, entitled bitches. Serves Doofus right, greedy pig that he is. Polygamous men are depriving other men of wives. I can't stop watching and snarking, either! 6 Link to comment

Either way, they need a budget and to stick with it. Kody should tell the kids that everyone get X amount of money. They can have a wedding or go to the courthouse and use the money to start their lives. I know which way I would choose. So many people plan every intricate detail of the wedding, but don't plan or work on the marriage. That's why people end up divorced. 37 minutes ago, ghoulina said: YES. What was that???

My father in law's side is Hispanic, his father came over from Mexico as an adult (and learned English). NO ONE behaves like this! They actually send out invitations with RSVPs and everything. No one has ever brought extra randoms with them to any of the events I have been to. Fatter Tony is a fucktard that thinks he is hilarious when in fact he is just a rude and ignorant child. 29 Link to comment
SunnyBeBe January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 Unless you have actually priced how much catered food is per person, it's difficult to understand how pricey it is. Even events like a bridal shower where you have chicken salad, fruit, cheese, etc. is very expensive. I have no idea of their budget, but, the way Kody acted, their taste is too rich for what they have. Perhaps, an afternoon event where you just serve cake and ice cream., would be more in line with their budget. Then dancing and fire hazards. 1 15 Link to comment

Really the only reason anyone would stay there would be to catch a glimpse of Meri IF she happens to be there at the time. If I had a choice between paying $125-135 a night for a single room that sleeps 2 and $80 for an entire home/condo that sleeps 6 with its own kitchen, I'll be happy to make my own breakfast. She kept saying it was an area for skiers. I've skied a couple of times and am by no means an expert, but I do remember that you come off the slopes dirty, sweaty and WET. We stayed in condos near the slopes that had on site washers and dryers so that we could clean up our gear and be ready for the next run. Plus, there's lots of gear involved: skis, boots, bibs, jackets, etc. In my opinion, a B&B with antiques and what looks like smallish rooms is not a good choice for skiers. It's a pretty house, but I can't see it bringing in lots of revenue. Meri would need to really hustle to find ways to attract tourists and we all know Brown's are allergic to actual work. At least it will give Meri one more reason to have a pity party when things go south. 9 Link to comment

Their English was actually pretty good, when they could get a word in edgewise. I'm sure the situation is that while they can communicate just fine in English, they PREFER to speak Spanish, and really, who wouldn't want to retreat to the comfort of their first language, especially when placed in a stressful situation, such as being surrounded by Brown Clowns while having teevee cameras stuck in their faces? Also, I noticed that the long bits of Spanish that had to be subtitled had to do with their feelings on Tony marrying into the Brown clan; I know from experience that while you can be pretty fluent in everyday conversation, expressing complex thoughts or feelings is a whole different kettle of fish. Adults who have learned a second language also have more fear of making mistakes and looking "stupid." There's no excuse, though, for the crap that comes out of Tony's mouth, in either language. I had some major brain-lash watching this, because they kept saying they were getting married in December, and I couldn't fathom the fact that that was over a year ago! It seems like we saw wedding pictures just a few months ago--where did 2017 go?? Then again I planned my *own* wedding (which Mr. 'cat and I paid for our own damn selves, thankyouverymuch), so the whole year was kind of a blur. No, I didn't have 4000 tacos ;) I keep trying to break up with this show, but I just can't. Sigh. 18 Link to comment
AZChristian January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 Right after they talked about Tony's parents not speaking much English, the Browns start talking in sarcastic sentences (saying the opposite of what they meant, followed by "Just Kidding!"). Then Kody went off on some ridiculous monologue that I didn't even understand the meaning of, although I was born and have lived in the USA my entire 71 years. As a courtesy . . . if you're speaking to a person with limited English skills, speak simply, clearly, and slowly. 16 Link to comment

I agree with your points about complex versus simple statements, getting a "chance" to speak, and comfort to fall back into your own language. However, FT or M said before they were even there that they didn't speak English well. Seems like their standard level of use. 1 Link to comment
