SAD SNUB Sister Wives’ Leon Brown and partner Audrey Kriss cut from Christine’s wedding special after estrangement from dad Kody
CHRISTINE Brown and her new husband David Woolley were quite selective when it came to their dream wedding guest list.
And not everyone from the Sister Wives’ extended family made the cut.
Christine, 51, married David, 59, at the beginning of October in a fairytale ceremony at Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab, Utah.
About 330 guests, which included her ex-sister-wife-turned-best-friend Janelle Brown, 54, and her children, attended the wedding.
To no one’s surprise, Kody, 54, and his last remaining wife Robyn, 45, were not invited to the wedding.
And Christine’s remaining ex-sister wife Meri, 52, was also left off the guest list.
But, her family wasn’t completely left out of the event.
Kody and Meri had one child together, Leon, 28, who was invited to Christine’s wedding.
Leon, who uses they/them pronouns, was included in the large family picture taken at the wedding, along with spouse Audrey Kriss.
CUT OFF
Since Leon came out as nonbinary, Kody has essentially cut them off because he does not support their transition.

A source told The U.S. Sun, “Kody has not supported Leon’s transition.”
The insider added, “Kody is telling close friends, ‘This is a new person. I don’t know who this person is, but this is not the little girl that I raised.’
“They don’t have a relationship anymore, and because of it, it has affected his relationship with Meri, 100 percent.”
Christine and Kody share several children: Aspyn, 28; Mykelti, 27; Paedon, 25; Ysabel, 20; and Truely, 13.
They also share Gwendlyn, 22, who was not present at her mother’s second wedding.
MERI-LY ROLLING ALONG
A source recently shared how Meri felt about being snubbed from the October 7 nuptials.
“Meri didn’t care about attending,” the insider told The U.S. Sun.
“Truthfully, she could care less. They had a falling out and have been distant ever since Christine left the family and moved to Utah.”
The source continued, “They were never close as sister wives or best friends for that matter. There is no love lost between them.”
Christine and Kody announced their split in November 2021 after 25 years of marriage.
A few months later, she moved to Utah, leaving Kody and her sister wives behind in Flagstaff, Arizona.
In December 2022, Meri and Janelle also announced their separation from Kody.
MOVING ON
Meri has since reportedly moved into her bed and breakfast in Parowan, Utah, as of April 2023.
It’s located a few hours away from Christine and David’s $770,000 home in Lehi.
A source told The U.S. Sun that a reason why Leon Brown’s mother isn’t so bothered by the wedding invite is because she’s happy with her life away from the sister wives.
“The thing about Meri is she is really happy with her life right now,” a source said.
“Aside from not having Kody in her life, she has found her peace.”
The source continued, “She’s not lacking anything in her life at all. She doesn’t have animosity or anger.
“She’s in a really good place, and that makes her not care so much about what the other wives, whom she’s not even close to, are up to.”
Meri’s latest social media posts have been with other family and friends of hers that she appears to spend most of her time with.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to TLC for comment.
