Wedding Photographer Reveals The Telltale Signs That A Couple Will Get A Divorce In Eye-Opening TikTok
But the same can be true for the other people in their lives. If their relationship isn't meant to last, their loved ones might be able to pick up on that too.
Wedding photographer and TikToker @onavicenta shared in a TikTok that there are clear indicators to her that a couple is not meant to last, and that these signs appear as early as their engagement shoot or "Save the Date" shoot.
Most of the signs that the TikToker indicates relate either to communication or empathy.
For example, when couples arrive for the photoshoot but clearly have not discussed their goals for the photoshoot at all, like any poses they'd particularly like to do, a theme or dress code, or what they personally hope to get out of the shoot, that's a red flag.
People who are also very critical and mean of their partners in front of the photographer, who's essentially a stranger, either because they don't want to be at the shoot, or because they are frustrated about how the photos are turning out, or because they want to make fun of their partner for their facial expressions and postures, are also terrible contenders for a long-term marriage.
It's, of course, understandable if the couple has never done a photoshoot before, if they're short on money or time, or if there are other stresses that they've brought to the photoshoot with them. In those cases, what makes the difference is if the couple tries to be there for each other, calm each other down, and lighten the moment. Those are positive indicators that can turn a negative experience around.

The TikToker also indicates in another video that her ability to see these patterns feels like a blessing and a curse, but that she's never been wrong about reading these signs. Curious about the couples she works with, she'll check their Instagram and other social media accounts later to see if the couple has reached their happily-ever-after ending.
For those whom she had a good feeling about, she'll see that they're still excited to get married or have already married. Those who she thought would divorce either wound up divorcing shortly after their wedding vows were exchanged, or they called off their weddings before even walking down the aisle.

Viral 'Pints And Ponytails' Event For Dads Who Want To Learn How To Do Their Daughters' Hair Is Giving Us All The Feels
And for some dads, they aren't always quite show to talk to their daughters, and may be looking for a way to connect to them in a more personal and meaningful way.
For this reason, two dads who call themselves "The Secret Life of Dads" on social media, decided to start a program called "Pints and Ponytails," through which dads can come together, socialize, have some drinks, and learn how to style their daughters' hair with the use of mannequins.
They reflected:
"Less than three weeks ago, we sat in this very space at the Lucky Saint Beer pub with 10 other dads, and last night, 35 dads walked through the door!!"
"Most of them came alone but were all there for the same reason… to learn how to do their daughters’ hair. What followed was one of the most special evenings we've ever been part of!"
What followed was a touching video, featuring three dozen dads of all different races and backgrounds, enjoying drinks and each other's company, and cheering each other on as they learned about different hair types and hairstyles.
You can watch the video here:
In a companion video, one dad opened up about how this totally changed his perspective about styling his daughter's hair.
"Learning to braid my daughter's hair changed what is often seen as just a task, like 'get the hair done before school,' into a moment of connection."
"That's when she gets to tell me about her day. That's when she shares with me things that are happening in her life."
"And it's a time that happens at the beginning of each day that I just get to be with her and listen and ask questions and connect."
"That has been the aperture for opening a connection between me and my daughter."

This was so incredibly wholesome, and we're excited to see "Pints and Ponytails" continue to meet and continue to grow.
When we say that actions speak louder than words, and that healthy masculinity lives quietly while "nice guys" speak through a megaphone, this is exactly what we mean.
Bruno Mars Sets The Record Straight After He's Caught Allegedly Liking A Post Calling Taylor Swift 'Talentless'
The accusation was dubious at best and fairly easily debunked if people just checked out the accounts shown as posting the reel and the original X post.
But instead of doing that, the Instagram account Pop Faction (@popfaction) posted a photo accusing Mars of liking a Swift hate post. They backed their claim with a copy of the reel of a reel—from a parody account.
The reel of a reel posted by the account Pop Base (@bopbase) showed Mars allegedly liked their reel about an alleged X post by BTS_Official (@btsbighit) that got 1.6 million views, 34.6 thousand reposts, and 80.3 thousand likes.
One key detail Pop Faction ignored was Pop Base's description, saying they are:
"...your best source for all parody..."
Google
Regardless, Pop Faction's Instagram post was captioned:
"Bruno Mars likes hate post about Taylor Swift on page that promotes mass content against the singer:"
A review of the BTS_Official account on X doesn't show any content related to Taylor Swift, let alone the "mass content" Pop Faction claimed. As Pop Base's Instagram no longer exists, it's impossible to check their content.
It seems Pop Faction either fell for a parody reel by Pop Base trying to claim Mars and BTS think Swift is talentless or chose to amplify the hoax because they knew it would garner attention for their Instagram account.
The X post in the Pop Base reel was captioned:
"Genuinely how did she get famous? White privilege is crazy because imagine if an Asian was as talentless as her"
After including the caption from the alleged BTS_Official X post, Pop Faction noted:
"[Mars] has since unliked the post."
But if the official BTS account really posted an attack on Swift on X that got over a million views, wouldn't that have been major entertainment news? Very little common sense or deductive reasoning seems to have gone into Pop Faction's accusation against Mars.
You can scroll left to see the reel of a reel Pop Faction used to accuse Mars here:
Two posts were made on X with that exact caption on March 14 and 15, but neither is by BTS_Official.
The first post was reposted five times, but never by BTS_Official.
As the original post featured in the reel that Pop Faction claimed Bruno Mars "liked" doesn't seem based in reality, other people did their due diligence and discovered this is likely all a hoax.
Right? Right‽‽
After the backlash on X against Mars became headline news, and after a Rolling Stone investigation, the 16-time Grammy Award winner finally had to address an accusation based on seemingly nothing.
Replying to one of the accounts amplifying the accusation on X, Mars wrote:
"Taylor has always been supportive and kind to me. Only love over here."
But fans were determined to keep this nothing burger going despite ample evidence it never happened.
As for Rolling Stone's "investigation," they concluded the reel alleging a like by Mars was "a likely fake bait post that proclaimed to show him dissing his fellow pop superstar."
So did Mars really like the original Pop Base reel, if it ever existed, or did someone create a reel making it look like he did?
Who knows?
The dark side of AI is that even the most minimally talented individuals can create deepfakes and edit to create a reel showing fake posts and fake likes. Even screenshots can't be trusted.
With no original reel, just a reel of alleged screenshots of a reel, it's hard to tell parody from reality.
Common sense is going to be more important than ever in separating truth from deliberate misinformation.
