I feel like for some time, that Kody has been a one woman man.  I believe they are all just sticking around for the show and the money that comes along with it.  Plus the boost that it gives to their side gigs.

Meri came out and said she stays for Kody, hoping that he will want to work on the relationship. She could probably survive without the show given she’s rilly big in LuLaRot.

I'm impressed you can name them all, much less attach names to faces. 

Now let's see if Kody can do that.

The crazy thing is, I haven’t watched in years, since the last Vegas season. I just follow along here. The older kids are the same age as my oldest so I was always more attached to them.

Stupid question maybe, but is my keyboard the only one that struggles with Brown-names? Truely has always been a true issue for my spelling check as was Savanah and Aspyn. But I just realised that it keeps changing Paedon into Pardon too....

So Kody and Christine were only separated by the aisle.

No, Janelle is in front in the first row, Kootie is in the second row on the other side of the aisle. If you look closely you can see the end of the row in front of him.

Those are lovely photos! Thanks for sharing @ginger90.

Right.

Kody and Christine are both in the second row, with only the aisle between them.

Kody is always going to be what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine.  He'll try to disguise it as for "the family."

Gwen has close to 5,000 subscribers on her Patreon. At the lowest price, $5, that's a significant wad o' cash in less than a week. Good for her! And some are paying more, so they can have 1-1 time with her. Even if the work becomes overwhelming and she cuts back on the time she spends on it (which I think would be healthy/self-preservation), she's still done really well. 

Michelle posted "get that bag!" (= cash). Michelle seems like a total sweetheart - she always posts supportive things on Logan's siblings' Instagrams. She's a real cheerleader for the group - kind of like Christine.

None of these kids got any money from having their lives on display without their consent, so I'm happy to support Gwen in a small way.

Kody was on display as a second row relative. At his firstborn's wedding. At his son's wedding. At his firstborn son's wedding.

Of course he was right where he should be, but he can't stand it. I bet he ruminated about it the entire time.

Kootie doesn't give applause.  He is the only one worthy of receiving applause in his teeny little mind.

I'm in here dying laughing at work.  

He can't even pretend. He was probably sitting too close to Christine, across the aisle, and was pissed about it. I bet he sat at his table all night pissed off with his ugly ass hair, while everyone had fun.

So, were there any of Logan’s family members in the bridal party, besides Hunter?

If by "ruminated" you mean whined, grouched, bellyached, and bitched under his breath to anyone who looked his way, then I agree.

Quote

From @Libby‘s post in the social media thread
There were a few incidents when the kids were young where you could tell that they thought he was a fool. A couple that I remember...

1. When Kody was showing the boys how to empty the sewer in the rented RV and dumped sewage on his foot. The teen boys were holding back laughter and smirking like he was an idiot.

2. While preparing for a trip, Kody told Garrison that he was the general and Garrison was to follow orders. In reply, Garrison asked Kody if he was aware that sometimes the troops killed the general for giving stupid orders.

Kody's kids have realized for a long time that he was a jackass. That doesn't mean that they didn't love and need him. It's very sad.

One of the reasons why I love Garrison so much! He’s usually on the side and not saying very much but when he does, it’s brilliant! Could someone point me to Garrison’s killing -the-general-scene please? I can’t remember it but that sounds like so much fun!

As for loving him: Like you said, he’s their dad. Kids are unconditionally loyal and loving to their parents. It takes a lot to hit that breaking point and I think the boys are getting closer to it every day.

Regarding covid, I don’t consider it acceptable to tell someone you are using certain precautions and that not be the case.  It’s too critical for people with health conditions. This applies to Garrison, Kody, Janelle, ……..whomever.   Motivations are personal issues that may be important, but not worth the risk of human life, imo.  Back when the early covid episodes were shown, multiple Brown family members seemed flip about it.  I think that attitude was concerning, especially from someone who lies about their practices.

100% agree. I think Gabe and Garrison's attitude toward covid was typical due to their age, but their attitude about putting others at risk was not. And they cavalierly put their mother at risk daily, when she had an increased risk for complications. Fortunately when Janelle did have covid, she was fine, but no one knew before hand how it would pan out.

[LilyD]

Just watched those beautiful wedding pictures again and I just cannot wrap my head around the awkward family placing. In my opinion there are only two possible explanations as it so goes against everything that is customary:

1. Kody simply refused to sit with his family and therefore ended up 2nd row across the isle as there was no way the parents of the bride would give up their pride of place.

2. Janelle and her kids are far more estranged from Kody than we thought. Even possibly Logan. They have all simply shut him out and he was forced to second row (to make a statement).

Not sure which is more likely. My gut just tells me something IS wrong. Not wanting to sit next to an (ex)-wife could explain why Kody and Janelle weren’t sitting next to each other as parents of the groom. But then moving the father of the groom across the isle behind the parents of the bride simply defies every single rule in the wedding book. 

[GeeGolly]

I think Gwen said there was only assigned seating at the reception, but not at the ceremony.

Kody probably arrived late and no one saved him a seat.

You could be on to something.

And for what it's worth, my family was always flexible with "sides".  If the bride or groom had fewer attendees, we always sat on that side to even things out because, it the end, the bride and groom brought their respective families (and friends) together.

[GeeGolly]

I wonder if Meri felt she was sitting with the enemies once Kody and Robyn got there and sat down.

[GeeGolly]

I think Gwen and Gabe look more like full siblings.

If that’s the case, he’s even a bigger douchebag than I thought. Arriving late at your own son’s wedding is both disrespectful and embarrassing to the bride and groom. I guess it tells us all about the end of the polygamous marriage. Kody should have entered and sat with Janelle, not Robyn, if they still regarded each other as “husband” and “wife”.
 Lastly, If no one saved him a prime seat as Logan’s dad, it says all about how they perceive him: not good! They obviously couldn’t care about where he was.

This is where people were sitting prior to Janelle, Christine, Kody and Robyn’s arrival:

Does it seem weird to anyone else that Maddie and Savannah are sitting in the second row farthest away from the center aisle - meanwhile Meri, Leon and Audrey are front row center?

Ah, but the wedding happened in current time and we've heard that Janelle left Kody. If that's true, it makes perfect sense for them to not sit together. Janelle is Logan's primary parent and gets the front row. Kody sat with his favorite and only legal wife.

We didn’t do “sides” at my wedding either. People just sat themselves. We did have seating for the reception.

Hmm, I wonder if Christine was escorted down the aisle as a mother of the groom too. That would mean Meri wasn't.

Nope, I’m sure Meri still regards herself and her family important enough to take pride of place. Even at the cost of others. 

However….It could well be that the Browns have a strict “you are all full siblings-policy”? They were one big family after all.  If that’s the case, then technically Leon holds the same status as Savanah and Maddie. In that case, it doesn’t really matter where they sit.

They switched around. Not the best picture:

[GeeGolly]

That is some tight seating.

I'm not surprised there aren't a lot of Brown siblings in the wedding. First there is a lot of them and second, Logan has been off living his life for nearly a decade now, so I'm sure he has a lot of friends that he's closer to than his siblings.

It would be impossible to ask one without the others feeling slighted.  Plus I think Savannah is very reserved and doesn't really want too.  Logan and Hunter are closer in age and grew up in the same house.

In the "pre-Janelle" photos, Christine and Ysabel are next to Meri, Audrey, Leon.

Then Christine and Ysabel switched to the second row.

Given that Kody only refers to the offspring living in Robyn’s home as his, I agree his name should be removed.  Maybe the moderators will open a poll for a new name
