Christine Brown’s dreams of a fairytale wedding have finally come to life!
At 51, the “Sister Wives” celebrity celebrated her union with David Woolley, 59, in a picturesque ceremony in Moab, Utah.
The event was attended by a whopping 330 guests.
“It’s a fairytale,” Brown gushed to PEOPLE.
“Walking down the aisle to David and seeing that look in his eyes… it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of.”
The wedding festivities kicked off with a bang on Friday night.
The couple treated their guests to a scenic dinner cruise down the Colorado River.
Brown shared her excitement, saying, “We wanted as many family and friends there as possible. We’re all set to have a blast!”
The outdoor wedding was a visual treat, with the décor perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Danielle Rothweiler, the wedding planner, chose a palette that included shades of rust, dusty rose, mauve, deep plum, and peachy coral.
Woolley couldn’t help but marvel at the setting, commenting, “The view, the scenery, it’s unreal. Nothing can top this.”
This wedding held a special place in Brown’s heart. Woolley revealed, “Christine always wanted to wear a white dress and walk down the aisle with her dad. She missed out on this during her first marriage. She’s been dreaming of a grand wedding with all the bells and whistles.”
Brown chimed in with a smile, “It’s true. I’ve always wanted the big white wedding!”
On the big day, Brown’s son, Paedon, and her father proudly escorted her to the altar.
She looked radiant in a dress from Boda Bridal, which boasted a deep neckline and intricate beading.
Eliza Schmidt took care of Brown’s hair and makeup, while Cortney Hall worked her magic on the bridal party.
Brown shared her vision, saying, “We wanted our kids, grandkids, parents, David, our officiant, and me to all walk down the aisle. It’s all about family for us.”
The couple then exchanged their vows under a floral arch, with the Colorado River as their backdrop.
The ceremony concluded with the couple sealing their vows with a passionate kiss.
As the classic “At Last” by Etta James filled the air, they were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Woolley, much to the delight of the cheering crowd.
The reception that followed was nothing short of magical, with a tent adorned with mesmerizing lights and flowers, all curated by Ali McDermott from Magnolia and Lace.
The guests were treated to a lavish spread during the cocktail hour, which included sparkling apple cider, champagne, Moscow mules, and mojitos.
This was followed by a hearty buffet dinner with dishes like roast beef, BBQ chicken, cowboy potatoes, baked beans, and corn on the cob.
The dessert was the cherry on top, with a three-tier naked cake and Woolley’s special Darth Vader-themed groom’s cake.
The love story of the newlyweds is nothing short of a modern romance.
They first crossed paths on a dating website in 2022.
Brown recalls being instantly smitten by Woolley’s profile, especially his captivating eyes.
She reminisced, “Seeing him with his grandkids, at Disneyland, and on a beach, I thought, ‘I want that life with him!'”
Woolley was equally enchanted, saying, “From the moment I saw her, I knew she was special. I’m so fortunate that she was available because she’s truly one-of-a-kind.”
Brown, who was previously in a polygamous marriage with Kody Brown for 25 years, shares six children with him.
Woolley, a father of eight, lost his wife in 2012.
Woolley proposed to Brown in April, and she couldn’t be happier.
“David makes me feel like a queen every day,” she shared.
“With him, the world seems brighter, and I’ve never felt love like this.”
As they embark on this new journey, both Brown and Woolley are filled with gratitude.
Brown sums it up beautifully, saying, “David is my home. With him, everything just feels right. We’re a solid unit, and I’ve found my true partner in him.”
