When Christine Brown married husband David Woolley in Moab, Utah, over the weekend, the guest list for the affair included just one of her own Sister wives costars.
Janelle Brown was on hand to help celebrate the couple’s big day, while Christina’s ex-husband Kody, as well as Meri and Robyn, were away for the wedding.
Janelle, 54, and Christine, 51, have remained close since both left their decades-long marriages to Kody. Christine left in 2021 after 25 years. She shares daughters Aspyn (28), Mykelti (27), Gwendlyn (21), Ysabel (20), Truely (13) and son Paedon (25) with her ex.
Janelle split from Kody the following year, after nearly 30 years of spiritual marriage. They are the parents of six children: sons Logan (29), Hunter (26), Garrison (25) and Gabriel (21), and daughters Madison (27) and Savanah (18).

Kody and Meri are no longer together either. The father of 18 is still legally married to Robyn, whom he married in 2014.
Earlier this year, Christine told PEOPLE that after meeting Woolley, she immediately let him know that Janelle was a big part of her life.
“When I told him, I said, ‘I have a lot of kids and I have a sister wife, and wherever I go, Janelle has to go with me, and all her kids go with me, too. There isn’t just me,’ she recalls. “And he’s like, ‘Okay. Alright.'”
Following the announcement of Christine’s engagement to Woolley earlier this year, Janelle shared her excitement for the couple’s relationship milestone.

She commented “hooray” with multiple exclamation points below Christine’s Instagram post. Janelle also shared a post on her Instagram Story and an animated sticker that read, “HAPPY.”
Ahead of her nuptials, Christine told PEOPLE that planning the Oct. 7 nuptials, which took place at Red Cliffs Lodge, was stressful at times.
“There were so many touching pieces with people coming and not coming, and then you’re always going to offend someone,” she says.
Woolley adds, “There’s always family drama.”

Despite the ups and downs of preparing for the big day, which included a stunning cruise on the Colorado River (the couple enlisted expert Danielle Rothweiler to help them plan the festivities), their ceremony was exactly what they wanted.
“The view, the scenery, it’s unreal,” says David. “You can’t win.”
Christine adds: “It’s a fairy tale. That’s all I thought I’d have. I go to the altar to David, he just looks at me the way he does, it’s a dream come true.”
Following their vows, the newlyweds danced the night away with their 330 guests under a tent decorated with twinkling lights and flowers. “All people we absolutely love,” says Christine.
“We are very lucky,” says David.
