When diving into her unique arrangement, Mary admitted that it was her grandmother, Rosemary Redmon Cosby, who wanted her to marry Robert Sr. and take her place as the head of the family’s church.
Another part of the arranged marriage was business related with the RHOSLC star assuming the ownership of Rosemary’s assets, including the family churches, restaurants and more.
‘Basically, Robert Sr. was 20 years younger than my grandmother,’ she said. ‘My grandmother felt like she robbed his youth. So she said, “If something ever happens, I want you to marry one of my girls, because I know that they will be loyal to you and treat you good like you treated me.”‘

‘You can’t go through a marriage for 22 years and be happy,’ she said before clarifying their love was more than surface deep. ‘Like every single Chanel, he’s bought it for me. And I haven’t had to buy myself anything. All my designer things, Robert Sr. has gotten them for me.’
‘We’re happy. You can’t say or do anything to take happiness away from me. It’s hard to get. If you can find that in a man, it doesn’t matter where he came from.’
