Was I Wrong for Kicking My Cousin off My Sister’s Wedding Zoom Call? Here’s How Folks Responded.

Family drama alert! And it’s comin’ in really hot!

And, because of the world we currently live in, we’re having family drama on Zoom! Of course, this was going to happen…

Anyway, take a look at this person’s story about what went down during a monumental zoom call and check out the reactions from Reddit users on the other side.

Let’s check it out.

AITA for kicking my cousin off of my sister’s wedding Zoom call?

“My [27M] older sister [30F] and her fiancé [31M] were planning for over a year for their wedding to be this month.

Obviously, they can’t have the wedding as planned, but they still would like to get married, so they decided on a “Zoom” wedding where all of the family/friends would just call in to watch the officiant, my sister, and her fiancé.

My sister didn’t want to be in charge of hosting the Zoom call because she thought it would stress her out, so she asked me to and I gladly accepted.

She and her fiancé decided to invite everyone they originally wanted to, and it was a very big list. When we were going over the list, my sister mentioned to me that she wanted everyone else to be muted for the majority of the wedding as she was worried that others would talk over her and her fiancé and quote “overshadow” them on their big day “that was already scaled down”.

However, her and her fiancé said that I should unmute everyone at one point so everyone could talk and have a nice time with each other.

Fast-forward to the day of the wedding—everyone is muted during the ceremony which goes great, and so I then unmute everyone and ask to please raise a hand if they’d like to talk so it doesn’t get confusing. My cousin (around my age) starts waving his hand crazily, and he’s with his longtime girlfriend (also similar age I guess).

He’s a very gregarious guy, so I was not surprised. Then, he says stuff like “(my sister) and (her husband) are such an inspiration, it’s given me the courage to do this….” then turns to his girlfriend and pulls out a box that is the size of an engagement ring box??

I immediately saw this as him trying to steal the spotlight (something that he’s done since we were kids, ex: he would secretly mess up my sister and I’s drawings if the adults would praise ours) and booted him off of the call.

Then I quickly announced that my cousin had technical difficulties and would not be joining again. Everyone else accepted this and went about talking, and my sister and her husband did too.

The rest of the wedding went smoothly—except for the fact that my cousin kept texting me angrily saying that he finally wanted to propose as a surprise with family all around and I ruined it.

My aunt and uncle texted me the same. AITA??”

And here’s what people on Reddit had to say about what happened…

This person praised the Lord Almighty that the cousin was banished from the call!

Another Reddit user said that the person did the right thing for their sister…and I’m inclined to agree with them.

A reader said that it’s a good thing the wedding was on Zoom, because if the cousin had pulled this in-person it could have been a lot worse.

A reader commented that people who make these kinds of huge gestures on someone else’s special day are 100% wrong all the time.

A Woman Asked if It’s Wrong to Uninvite Dad’s Girlfriend From Her Wedding if She Wears a Similar Dress

This is going to be a bumpy ride!

A woman went on the record on Reddit’s “Am I the a**hole” forum and asked if she was wrong to crack the whip and un-invite her dad’s girlfriend because the GF…get this…wanted to wear beige to her wedding…

Like I said, a bumpy ride…

Here’s how the story started.

Photo Credit: Reddit

What seemed like a nice birthday celebration went downhill in a hurry, however, when the woman noticed something alarming in her Dad’s girlfriend’s Instagram feed.

And let’s just say it caught her off-guard.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And she was definitely NOT happy with the girlfriend’s choice of clothing.

And neither was her sister.

Photo Credit: Reddit

So it was now time to talk to her dad about just what the hell was exactly going on here…

But she couldn’t reach her dad because he was off the grid…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Later on, the dad’s girlfriend texted the woman a birthday message…and the woman told her how she felt about her picking a dress so similar to her’s…on her wedding day.

And she asked her not to wear it…but she hasn’t received a response.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And the girlfriend had already been warned about a similar situation so it’s not like this should have been a conversation in the first place.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And she decided to lay down the law with her dad, as well.

Photo Credit: Reddit

She added that she doesn’t want to be a “Bridezilla”, but this was totally inappropriate.

Photo Credit: Reddit

So… what did the internet think?

Not. The. A**hole.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Not at all.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And that’s just tacky!

How about you?

What do you think about this situation?

Interesting Wedding Cakes That Might Want to Look at Twice

The day you get married is supposed to be magical.

But the cake better be beautiful and it better be tasty…or else you’ll be haunted by that memory forever.

And I have a feeling that’s what happened with these folks because these cakes are…well, you’ll see…

Let’s take a look.

1. This is totally hilarious.

“Why is there a wedding?”

Wedding Photographer Had the Perfect Response to Bride Wanting to Cancel After Seeing Her Black Lives Matter Post

Twitter heaped support on a photographer who clapped back at a bride demanding a refund of her deposit when she saw the photographer’s Black Lives Matter social media post.

The bride had sent a message to Shakira Rochelle, the photographer she’d contracted for her upcoming wedding. In it, she claimed Rochelle must be “unstable” if she felt like lending her support to the movement and that it would be too “embarrassing” for her to have Rochelle at the wedding. After insisting “all lives matter,” she demanded the return of her deposit.

Here is her Instagram post on her take on Black Lives Matter.

“Shakira Rochelle Photography stands in solidarity with the black community. The black lives matter movement has my endless support,” she wrote.

Twitter user Q first posted Rochelle’s DMs with the bride on Twitter where it went viral.

The first DM is from the bride expressing her disappointment that her wedding photographer decided to stand up for the Black community.

The bride and her fiance simply “can’t bring themselves” to work with a photographer who would do such a thing and questions Rochelle’s mental health.

Rochelle responds with her standard operating procedure which says no refunds for cancellations.

She also thanks the bride for the lovely donation of her deposit to Black Lives Matter.

The bride wrote back, “You will be hearing from our attorney.” For what that’s worth.

Q captioned the viral tweet with, “I love it here.” The tweet so far has been retweeted nearly 200,000 times and has more than one million likes. Q even tweeted Rochelle’s contact information in case anyone would like to book her for their events.

As for the attorney threat…

And as this guy pointed out, so what if the bride is one of those “all lives matter” people and her photographer is choosing to support a hugely marginalized community? Rochelle is a professional service-provider with a human brain that allows her all the free will to think whatever she wants. It has nothing to do with this bridezilla’s wedding.

But the icing on the wedding cake is the gratitude for the donation!

Another excellent point about deposits.

But the outpouring of support for this small-business owner was incredible.

Shekira Rochelle’s Photography can be found here. If you’re needing photography services in Cincinnati, OH, check her availability.

Don’t wait. Everyone wants this talented lady now!

Mom Buys a Dress for Her Son’s Wedding, Bride Loses It

There’s a ton of stuff that goes into planning a wedding. Where will it be, who do we invite, what will we eat, what will it cost, etc etc etc. But one stress that probably few people are expecting is “Will my mother in law dress like the bride in some kind of crazy attention stunt?” That was the situation one Reddit user found herself in recently. The user goes by the name AITAthedress, so she must have created this account specifically to pose this question. It was posted to r/AITA, or “Am I the as$hole?,” a forum where people describe their situations and users weigh in on who’s in the wrong. Here’s the original post, in which she uses “MIL” for “Mother in Law” throughout:

AITA for making my MIL buy a different dress for my wedding? from AmItheAsshole

The comment section, which at the time of writing is approaching 500 contributions, revealed two things very clearly:
1) This is a surprisingly common problem that happens to more brides than you’d expect
2) Literally nobody thinks OP is the as$hole in this situation

This is not bridezilla behavior.

Via Reddit

Apparently this happens quite a bit?

Via Reddit

Why would you even want to do this?

Via Reddit

She needs to get off this train.

Via Reddit

Even this woman who let a similar situation go didn’t find fault with OP.

Via Reddit

Many mistakes were clearly made.

Via Reddit

Pics or it didn’t happen?

Via Reddit

There’s no way she wouldn’t have foreseen this.

Via Reddit

There’s really only one answer here.

Via Reddit

This particular comment deserves a thread all its own.

Via Reddit

So there you have it. Don’t dress like a bride unless you are a bride. Even the most unsophisticated among us can probably hold that particular piece of etiquette in our heads. Don’t spoil someone else’s special day, they paid a lot of money for it.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

Brides Are Swapping Heels for Sneakers and We’re Here for It

A lot of people find weddings a little intimidating. There’s the big life change it represents, of course, but on top of that there’s a lot of cultural pressure to make it an impossibly grand, very expensive, perfectly glamorous event. But as Diply recently profiled, one current wedding trend is a little more relaxed.

Instagram is filling up with shots of brides exchanging uncomfortable fancy wedding shoes for good ol’ sneakers.

Check out those laces!

The idea is popular enough that Converse has a whole wedding line??

You can go with the highly-customized angle!

Or the color-coordinated…

Or just stick with the comfy classics – it’s your day, after all!

The benefits for an outdoor wedding are obvi!

It’s not just in America either – check out this example from a bride in India!

What do you think? Would you consider sneakers for your big day?

Let us know in the comments if you’d hop on this trend.

Fans of ‘the Bachelor’ Can Now Get Chris Harrison to Officiate Their Wedding

Isn’t this interesting…?

Some people like to do something big and memorable for when they pop the big question, others would like to have a celebrity preside over the nuptials. Well, if you’re a mega-fan of all things related to The Bachelor, you might want to jump on this opportunity.

Chris Harrison, the host of the massively popular ABC show, has been an ordained minister since 2012 with Universal Life Church and he is available to officiate your wedding…for a fee.

In order for Harrison to consider being at your big day, you have to fill out an online form and give all the details about your big day including location, budget, etc. Harrison doesn’t list a price for his services, but he says he will travel anywhere, including internationally. On his Instagram page, the TV host said, “I’ll even come officiate your wedding – as long as there’s rose or two there..oh and good wine!”

And if you really want to get crazy, you can even book Villa de la Vina, the mansion that’s used in The Bachelor. The sprawling mansion is located in Malibu, California.

If for some reason you can’t afford to dish out the big bucks for Harrison to actually be at your wedding, you can always have him give you a video shout-out, if you are so inclined.

If you could pick a celebrity to officiate your wedding, who would it be?

Oh, and…will you accept this rose…?

A Couple’s Wedding Photo Captured the ‘New Normal’ of Wildfires in California

A couple’s California wildfire wedding photo has gone viral in a huge way, as it’s the perfect example of the “new normal” for many Californians.

California is once again being ravaged by multiple fires across the state, including the Getty fire, the Hill fire, the Maria fire, and the Easy fire.

One of the largest fires is the Kincade fire in Sonoma Country. It has blazed over 77,000 acres worth of land and destroyed at least 352 structures so far.

On Saturday, a couple from Chicago got married at the Chateau St. Jean vineyard in Sonoma County, just miles away from the Kincade Fire. Photographer Karna Roa took this photo at their wedding.

In the photo, Katie and Curtis Ferland wear masks to protect their lungs from the smoke. The wildfire is seen blazing in the background in hues that resemble a dystopian sunset.

“I immediately thought of the American Gothic painting from the 1930s and how that couple at that time represented the normal America,” Karna told ABC 7. “And all of a sudden, in a very strange way, this has become our new normal of the wine country.”

Karna says this is the fourth wedding in three years that she’s photographed that was threatened by wildfires.

The wedding vendors had to evacuate hours before Katie and Curtis’ wedding, forcing their wedding planner to re-do the entire event on the fly. Somehow, they pulled the wedding off.

The next morning, the newlyweds evacuated too, along with all of their guests.

They say the now-viral wedding photo is a reminder of all the people who came together to make this wedding happen. For Karna, it’s a possible way to draw attention to the wildfires in Northern California.

“As long as it can bring more attention to the wildfires and the problems that Sonoma and Napa County and Northern California are facing, then I would love more people to see it,” Karna said.
