Kody Brown and Meri Brown met at church
Meri Brown and Kody Brown met in a pretty traditional way—the couple, linked by religion, connected at a church event. According to In Touch Weekly, Meri befriended Kody’s sister when the Brown family began attending Meri’s church. From there, she was introduced to Kody, who had recently returned from a mission trip. After the introduction in October 1989, the couple began dating. Kody was 21, and Meri was 18.
