What Each Of Kody Brown's Four Weddings And Honeymoons Were Really Like

While she might have been the wife many felt had the hardest relationship with Kody Brown over the years, Meri Brown was the one who got a more traditional and grand wedding, complete with a big, lavish wedding dress, a white tux for Kody, a classic cake (and other desserts), professional photos — the works.

As his first wife, and at the time, the only one he was legally married to, Meri was able to have the big and grand affair that seems reminiscent of the weddings monogamous couples might also have. She and Kody didn't have to be as secretive with their union, because, unlike his future wives-to-be, their marriage wasn't a crime. Kody's later spouses could not be legally solemnized, and therefore, the celebrations were expected to be smaller.

One interesting fact to note about Meri's wedding was that one of her future sister wives was actually in attendance at the event. Janelle Brown, who went on to become Kody's second wife, was there. At the time, she was actually Meri's sister-in-law. Shortly after Meri and Kody's 1990 wedding, Janelle divorced Meri's brother, and by 1993, she was married to Kody as well.
