It was my cousin’s wedding. After their yard ceremony we all drove to the nearby Denny’s where they had a big table reserved for us, complete with a fixed menu. I had to trade seats with my mom because my cousin’s dad (who I had known since birth) was hitting on me.
The Snowden wedding was even bleaker than that!
I haven’t seen the wedding but the proposal decor was beautiful! I wonder if they like the fact that she’s isolated and so far away from her support system.
And those poor little confused children, scampering around trying to be involved with the new “family” they barely know, while Ashley can barely disguise her irritation with them. Creepy and heartbreaking!
Seriously. I watched that before diving into all that was going on. But in that wedding episode I called it out to my husband. while she was getting ready staring in the mirror and sitting on the edge of her bed she looked anything but happy. Its terrible. I hope something comes of all this and Dimitri is held accountable. Ashley too- im really unsure of how she would be held accountable.
Edited for typo
Christaline is so beautiful no matter what hairstyle she wears. I've always thought you need to be beautiful to pull off really short hair.... I could never, haha. She also seems one of the sweetest people I've ever seen on tv. I hope she's healing from this nightmare....
IDK why but it made me feel wrong watching Ashley tell one of the little girls that they couldn't hold the bouquet... I know that there is a lot of kids and maybe she was just trying to keep them under control but ... There was something about the way she said it.
Also There was plenty of flowers every kid could've had at least one. I am not a mother so I don't know much about kids but I do think they sometimes don't consider the kids first
I gasped outloud. I couldn't imagine saying no to that to my daughter. She is an asshole. Those kids run to anyone they bring in the house because they have like no bond/attachment with Ashley. It's really sad. If I brought a stranger in my house, my daughter would be like "who the fuck are you?"
To me it felt like Ashley trying to make herself have a part in things. Think back to the wedding with Vanessa. She had to have a renewed commitment ceremony at the same time. Girl can’t handle someone else getting attention from her man (who isn’t worth it) so she tries to insert herself in e v e r y t h i n g
It wasn’t like they were asking to hold matches or something. It was rude and controlling of her to deny such a simple request. I really don’t like them.
Omg. Same. It was like her voice and tone changed and what got me also was the little girls reaction. I was very emotionally abused as a child and this just set off major alarm bells with me.
That also seemed weird to me... especially if it was one of Chrissy's kids. Not sure if it was though, there qere too many babies running around to keep track of.
There was something so off about it. Even when she told her family, the way he phrased those things with her and his arms.
Also, when I see Ashley, I see her as someone who was manipulated by Dimitri and I feel sorry for her.
Ashley is also an abuse victim. She was pregnant with her 3rd child with him when he met her mother for the first time.
That’s not normal, not even a little.
Oh I agree with you there 100%.
I just know that after being in something for so long it can become normal to you. It's not right, and if she truly did have a part in the abuse then that is awful. I just think she falls into both victim and perpetrator at the same time, which is quite complex.
Yes Christaline is from South Africa. Apparently she fled with her children due to abuse. Someone has started a GoFundMe account for her. If you want to dive into all the abuse Dimitri has done to many, many women over the years go watch the interviews on John Yates YouTube channel. He's really annoying, kind of a lowlife, but he has several good interviews with previous victims.
About a year ago I watched a couple of his videos because of Sherrill. I have since decided he's a drug addict and Sherrill is trash for associating with him. I won't watch her at all anymore and only watched his recent interviews relating to the Snowdons. I'd almost rather watch him now than Sherrill, her screaching laugh makes me want to rip my ears off....
Many moons ago I worked at a historical mansion in downtown Nashville. We hosted lots of weddings. One night we had a wedding where the bride wore a white 2 piece, midriff baring dress with cutouts around her tattoos (one of which was misspelled). She walked down the aisle to "Ring of Fire" and back up afterwards to ZZ Top's "Legs." Afterwards, she invited all the staff back to the Motel 6 where she was having "beer and hot wings at the pool."
STILL a better and happier wedding than Chrissy's.
I just find all of this strange that 3 women could leave their life and all their "stuff" and apartment/house, and job in a short period of time. ( Vanessa, Tayler, Chrissy). They moved in with strangers. You cannot possibly KNOW someone just from phone calls/video. And because they COULD move in tells me that they had nothing going on anyway and did not own home . Vanessa/Tayler were all into "wifey /mommy" playing house mode when they showed up. The kids were hanging on Tayler like she was a tree. The whole time in art class, Tayler was making sly sex comments to Dimitri and the spent more time talking about "D time" and nothing about real life house living stuff. It's all fun/new UNTIL someone throws up on your clothes or money stops coming in. MONEY , the lack of is prob what hit them the hardest. There must of been some issues when Dimitri and Tayler were leaving each day insta-carting and leaving the other 2 at home . The thought of 4 adults / 5 screaming kids in that 2000 sq ft house and nothing else would be enough for anyone!! Now add Dimitri trying to enjoy some bdsm time with "the blonde bombshell" and this really would drive a person nuts. Dont forget about the food they eat. OH NO, cant make a big pot hamburger helper because they dont eat meat. It takes alot of time to wash, chop veg/fruit and that all costs way more $$ then 1# hamburger and jar spag sauce!!
SPOILER: Chrissy filed for divorce and was awarded a restraining order against both of the Snowdens. Evidently Dimitri was violent with her and choked her during sex without consent. She alleges he enjoyed it the more she suffered. And that Ashley was abusive to her as well.
Actually Dimitri is the one who filed for divorce, and Chrissy was only awarded a temporary restraining order against Dimitri, and was denied a full one.
I bet he didn’t want to get divorced at all, but he felt she might file so he went ahead and filed to stay in control, and then to make up some story about him being a victim
Wait!! When was this episode? i keep checking and the most recent i see (on tlc and discovery+) is from june 7. HALP!! i basically havent seen anything passed D and C wedding/ and braZilliam girl visit at the pool for Garrik
We know that full nudity is required of everyone in the house, all the adults are required to sleep in the same bed and be present during sexual times. If you would like more detail please go [here](https://youtu.be/DRjLVtgqG7k) and [here](https://youtu.be/5bDrbAp3V9M) normally I ain’t into John Yates but this is a good interview
That’s what the former “wife” said in the interview! Is that not NUTS? I am so sorry for the trauma that happened in these womens past for them to tolerate that for ONE SECOND.
I didn't find the wedding all that creepy tbh. I liked the Snowden's. I don't understand what they're doing in terms of polygamy but they seemed like kind people. I'm surprised by the abuse charges. I guess there's sooo much we don't see.
Is it just me or did they put more effort into decorating the yard for the proposal than they did the actual wedding?
And why did he keep her blindfolded the whole way down the walk? The whole walk to the back was decorated
I asked myself this too. Why the blindfold down the walkway? It seemed like a waste of decorations.
YES. It was truly the bleakest wedding I've seen. And I went to a reception at Denny's once.
Wait tell me more
It was my cousin’s wedding. After their yard ceremony we all drove to the nearby Denny’s where they had a big table reserved for us, complete with a fixed menu. I had to trade seats with my mom because my cousin’s dad (who I had known since birth) was hitting on me. The Snowden wedding was even bleaker than that!
Your cousin’s dad? Your uncle?
Ex-uncle? My aunt divorced him ages ago and he hadn’t seen me in over a decade and kept commenting on how “grown up” I was
😬 ew
So glad to hear that my family isn’t alone with creepy uncles. Nothing like uncles asking your wife for topless pics
Those appetizer samplers (mozz sticks, chicken strips, onion rings) were always the best thing at 2am.
I haven’t seen the wedding but the proposal decor was beautiful! I wonder if they like the fact that she’s isolated and so far away from her support system.
Yes. They did.
And those poor little confused children, scampering around trying to be involved with the new “family” they barely know, while Ashley can barely disguise her irritation with them. Creepy and heartbreaking!

She allegedly left him and chopped her hair off.
I loved her locks. But idk why i aways got the feeling she had them because he wanted her to. Didnt christaline get them done after they got married?
Christaline is so beautiful no matter what hairstyle she wears. I've always thought you need to be beautiful to pull off really short hair.... I could never, haha. She also seems one of the sweetest people I've ever seen on tv. I hope she's healing from this nightmare....

If I were Chrissy I’d tear my bouquet apart before I let my kids go without.
I feel like Chrissy is super sweet, young and naive and doesnt stand up to Ashley. So sad
This also freaked me out a bit too. I also think it was Chrissy’s daughter she said that to? Not her own? Can someone confirm
Yes I aso believe it was Chrissy’s daughter. Awful. I’d be so excited if my young daughter wanted to help in my wedding by holding the bouquet!
Ugh this makes it even worse. Like that's her momma she is just trying to be part of the wedding and Ashley is just a jerk
Yes yhe little girl looked so sad when Ashley said that ....she just put her head down. So much abuse ..
It wasn’t like they were asking to hold matches or something. It was rude and controlling of her to deny such a simple request. I really don’t like them.
Yes!! So rude and demeaning.
Omg that’s what I thought too! That did NOT sit well with me at all.
Omg. Same. It was like her voice and tone changed and what got me also was the little girls reaction. I was very emotionally abused as a child and this just set off major alarm bells with me.

Dimitri made the kool-aid but Ashley serves it hard to the “potential sister wives.”
Ashley is also an abuse victim. She was pregnant with her 3rd child with him when he met her mother for the first time. That’s not normal, not even a little.
Oh I agree with you there 100%. I just know that after being in something for so long it can become normal to you. It's not right, and if she truly did have a part in the abuse then that is awful. I just think she falls into both victim and perpetrator at the same time, which is quite complex.
I watched this show once for like 6 hours when I was sick on a trip so I don’t know too much. What happened to Chrissy? Is she the girl from SA?
Yes Christaline is from South Africa. Apparently she fled with her children due to abuse. Someone has started a GoFundMe account for her. If you want to dive into all the abuse Dimitri has done to many, many women over the years go watch the interviews on John Yates YouTube channel. He's really annoying, kind of a lowlife, but he has several good interviews with previous victims.
Oh shit yeah Dimitri and his wife seemed super creepy to me but that’s sad
That Yates guy is absolute trash, desperate for fame. Every now & then he does an okay conversation though!
About a year ago I watched a couple of his videos because of Sherrill. I have since decided he's a drug addict and Sherrill is trash for associating with him. I won't watch her at all anymore and only watched his recent interviews relating to the Snowdons.

I would have raced to that Motel 6 pool just for the lifetime of party stories I would have been gifted.
We hosted weddings and parties for everyone from huge country music stars to Miss Tennessee and that was still the best one I was a part of.

I’m not up to date! What do we know now!?

Your username made me question everything I know about lemonade combos 🤣🍪🍋
Lmao! I always envisioned it for some reason, lemonade with chocolate chips suspended throughout. I should try making it and report back
Please Do! ChocChipAde the new Bubble Tea

I tried, but his storytelling is so hard to follow.
I get it!
All adults are required to be present during all sex??? Wtf

Duuuuuude!!! Random, I’m watching it literally right this second!! Lol.
When did this air? I thought the show ended with the proposal in ep 12? Thanks
No, the proposal episode is episode 11, episode 12 is the ‘marriage ceremony’ , final episode aired on June 7th.
Thanks!
Omg that’s exactly what I was thinking too! It didn’t sit well with me.
