Courtesy of Christine Brown/InstagramChristine BrownDaughter Ysabel had some reservations about her mother whirlwind engagement husband David Woolley.
Sister wives fans watched Christine and David tie the knot on the Sunday, January 12 episode of the reality series, which also documented the reactions of their loved ones until the wedding. While getting ready for the big day, Ysabel, 21, told Christine when she realized David would be the one.
“We were out of town and he looked at you and said, ‘Oh, I love you so much,’” Ysabel said. “Like, just fair and clean. And I’ve never heard someone say ‘I love you’ so much.”
Christine smiled as she listened to her daughter tell a slightly different story in the confessional for the TLC cameras.
“When David first proposed to my mom, I thought it was very quick. I thought it was too early,” Ysabel revealed. “But I think I’ve had time to, like, adjust to it.”
Christine was previously in a spiritual marriage with Kody Brown over 25 years, announcing their split in November 2021. Kody’s relationship with his wives Janelle Brown and Mary Brown finished soon after. He remains legally married to Robyn Brown.
After the split with Kody – who she is with shares six childrenincluding Ysabel — Christine began her romance with David in February 2023. He proposed two months later, and the couple exchanged vows in October 2023.
“It gave me a lot more clarity to see how much they love each other,” Ysabel said in Sunday’s episode. “I’m just excited and happy for them.”
When it was time for Christine to walk to the altar, her son Paedon followed her. “I said (to him) ‘Should I be nervous?'” Christine recalled in the confessional. “I’m not even nervous. And then we started walking and I just looked at David, and it was like, ‘Here’s my heart.'”
Paedon fought back tears as he walked beside his mum, telling her that David was “a really good man”. He handed Christine over to her father, Rexjust before they reached the altar.

While thinking about Christina’s wedding day, Ysabel thought about the “perfect” ceremony in Utah. She then described how she adjusted to Christine and David “getting married so quickly,” saying she couldn’t be happier for the couple.
“I think I’ve had time to get to know David and get to know him, like, as a father and as someone who’s a really cool guy,” she said on camera. “Now I couldn’t imagine life without him.”
Christine’s children celebrated seeing her so happy – and they weren’t the only voices of support. Janelle’s children were also on hand to help usher Christine into her next chapter.
“For the first time in a long time, I felt like the real Brown family was back,” said son Gabe, whose relationship with Kody has been rocky for years.
Kody even expressed his support for his ex’s new marriage. “Really, where I’m at, Christine is happy and that’s great,” he admitted, despite feeling “FOMO” about missing the actual wedding day.
