Woodn't it be nice? via Did You Know & HomeMade Modern

It's no secret that wedding planning and fitting into a certain wedding aesthetic bring out the worst in some people.
But with the help of the "Wedding Shaming" subReddit and TikToker @sundries.snark, we may have uncovered one of the most atrocious and entitled wedding arrangements yet.
Known for her snarky commentary on weddings and wedding planning, TikToker @sundries.snark was eager to share the "absolute insane bridal subReddit post" that she believed her followers were not ready for.
The post was a series of screenshots from one of the groomsmen in the wedding party and also featured some information from one of the bridesmaids, who is related to the groom.
The post takes an immediate leap when the bride announces that the wedding, on short notice, has changed its date and location. The couple planned to have the wedding ceremony the day before the originally saved date, at a church instead of a beach, and the reception would take place the next day, on the original date. The TikToker also points out in a second video that the two locations were five hours apart.
Those changes alone would be enough for someone to potentially have to decline attending—as a wedding party member or as a guest—but the changes only continued from there.
The bridesmaids by this point in the wedding planning had already purchased gray dresses and high heels for the original wedding day. To accommodate the changes in venue, the bride required the bridesmaids to purchase a second yellow dress to match the aesthetic of the church, and to save the gray dress for the wedding reception on the beach the next day. Also, if the bridesmaid was over 5'5, she would be required to purchase flats to wear with the yellow dress.
The bride said she "understood" if not everyone could make it to both events on both days, but that only people who appeared on the wedding ceremony day, and helped pay for the photographer, would be able to be included in the professional photos.
After these changes, the bride's notes became increasingly passive-aggressive, noting thanks to those who "stuck with" the wedding party and who "actually care."
Notably, they also were not working with a wedding planner anymore, though it can only be assumed who fired whom.
The bride also included a lot of expenses and expectations to "plan accordingly."
The wedding was suddenly going to be child-free on both days, and the goodie bags given to the wedding party included plants, which those who needed to travel might have to consider.
The makeup each day would cost $300, though the bride stated that professional makeup was only required if the bridesmaids wanted to be included in the professional photos.
There was also nowhere provided for the groomsmen to get ready on the beach reception day, because the groom couldn't see the bride, even though he would have already seen her at the wedding ceremony the day before.
Then the expenses really started to pile on.
The bride first shamed members of the wedding party who had "set a bad example" by not paying the $25 per plate per person deposit that was required of everyone attending the wedding. She stated this looked bad to other wedding guests, who would also have to pay.
The wedding party was also expected to "chip in" $650 for wedding expenses, and the bride jabbed that she felt bad for asking, but "it is customary for the wedding party to just offer."
Later, she asked if anyone wanted to "help" get a dairy-free wedding cake. She guaranteed that people would even be thanked at the wedding for chipping in.
Finally, it seemed that drinking was expected at this wedding.
The wedding party would be able to access the open bar as a "thank you" for 30 minutes prior to the rest of the guests having access to it, and the bride wanted people to consider whether or not they really wanted to drink at this wedding, as it was a "once in a lifetime celebration" and that it would "only take one wet blanket to snuff out everyone's fire."

@sundries.snark how are these real people? how did they convince anyone to be in their wedding party? is this a simulation?! #greenscreen
Some were alarmed by how much the bride expected her wedding party and guests to pay.

Some were also certain that Meghan the wedding planner either fired the couple as clients or fired herself from the gig.

TikTok was left more and more shocked with each slide, and since the wedding was set for June 28th, all we can do is hope that the groomsman who shared the original post will share some kind of update.
It's wild to imagine that some people still participated in this wedding, or even just attended it, with all of the last-minute changes and expenses.
We've all had our embarrassing moments, but most of us can say that our embarrassing moment didn't lead to calling the fire department.
While having a relaxing Saturday night at home with wine and a personal karaoke system, TikToker @trace_myjournee was concerned when a loud and shrill alarm started to come from inside her apartment.
She patrolled her apartment, checking appliances and detectors, looking for the source of the sound. Based on its shrill and loud nature, she was certain that it was a serious issue and even became concerned that it could be harmful to herself and her neighbors sharing the building.
Eventually, she called 911, and a group of firefighters was dispatched to her location. In the meantime, the noise had stopped, which made their hunt around her apartment harder, but when the sound started up again, it was soon obvious where the sound was coming from.
The TikToker had originally been suspicious that the sound was coming from the stove in her kitchen, near where she'd been sitting and relaxing. Surprisingly, one of the firefighters picked up her karaoke microphone and said the sound was coming from it.
All concerns resolved, the group laughed about the misunderstanding, and the TikToker even sang a song for them.
Upon leaving, a police officer in attendance cracked a joke by pointing to the bodycam he had on the chest of his uniform and said the best part was that he'd caught the whole incident on camera.

While this TikToker might be embarrassed about the reality of the situation that she found herself in, the truth of the matter is that she surely will begin to see the humor in this in time.
As for the men who came to her aid, they were likely grateful for an almost-emergency that turned out to be funny rather than tragic—and, of course, to have a funny story to share around at the station.
The bride and groom generally put a lot of effort into planning a wedding that they will love and that will represent who they are as a couple.
But there's a time and a place for anything—especially dancing for a skeptical audience.
Three years ago, TikToker @alexojennings was excited to do a solo bridal dance for her new husband, set to the song, "End of Time," by Beyoncé.
Mid-wedding reception, she changed into a white bridal tracksuit and black tank top underneath and performed in the middle of the reception hall for her husband, who was sitting in a chair to watch. Friends and family looked on awkwardly, some blatantly staring while others did double-takes at the performance.
The bride wrote as a text overlay on the video:
"That time I performed a dance on my wedding day, knowing my religious family would look down on it."
In the caption of the video, she further explained:
"Debated doing this for so long that by the time I convinced myself to do it, I only had less than two months to learn the choreography."
"DO WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, LADIES. My man loved it."
"To further explain, I purposefully wore this covered-up outfit and played down the dance moves out of respect for said religious family."

Some cringed at the video and imagined having to sit there, watching in person.

The bride doubled down on her decision, claiming that the comments were "all love."
"Y'all roasting me is killing me. The mean comments are only telling me what I already know: you're not gonna hurt my feelings. It's TikTok doing its thing. It's all love."
She also confessed in a text overlay on the video:
"I had to improvise the part before Beyoncé started singing the 'let me upgrade you' part because I forgot."

While beautiful, the bride looked solemnly and seriously into the camera.
Instead of this convincing anyone, TikTokers quipped that she was thinking about her upcoming dance.
@alexojennings/Tiktok
But in the end, it seems that the bride and groom were a perfect match for each other. She has video "evidence" of her husband being a total goofball in the comfort of their own home.
The groom even learned the bride's infamous dance routine.
@alexojennings He ain’t had to outdo me like that 😩🤌🏼🤣 & with the OG sweat suit 🤝🏼 #fyp #alexisjennings #alexisjenningswedding #weddingdance #husbandwifecomedy
May they live happily and goofily ever after.
Part of raising a child is sometimes having to stand by while they do something difficult in order to grow.
That was not the case recently where mom Susan Grove found herself forced to stand by while her special needs daughter crawled off of an American Airlines flight because there was no wheelchair.
Grove, who filmed the event at the time, and who updated later, said an aisle chair was not available even after an hour of waiting to de-plane, so her daughter was forced to crawl off of the flight after four days of grueling travel.
"The aisle chair never came, so our special needs daughter had to crawl off the plane," Grove captioned the video.
An aisle chair is a slimmer wheelchair specifically made to move people with limited mobility on and off airplanes.
Grove claimed she and her husband, Joe, tried to carry Ava off the aircraft, but she weighs 150 pounds and "carrying her down the small aisles is very difficult."
After the video went viral, Grove received a small message from American Airlines, offering $75 each to her, her daughter, and husband.
She said:
“I said that was unacceptable and that I would love to speak with a manager."
@susangrove This cannot happen to special needs people/families. Also; we tried to carry her but she is 150 pounds and carrying her down the small aisles is very difficult. #americanairlines #notokay #viral #spreadtheword
This was not American Airlines' first such incident. In fact, this sort of thing used to happen so often that they were slapped with a federal lawsuit to force them to cover incidents similar to this one.
The airline's PR team had a response, which was milquetoast at best.
“[American Airlines will] continue the airline’s significant actions to improve the travel experience for customers traveling with wheelchairs and mobility devices.”
Folks were outraged with the airline.

This story is still developing.
Actor and singer Reneé Rapp had a very public coming out as a lesbian in a sketch on Saturday Night Live back in January 2024 after previously identifying as bisexual.
Since then, the star of The Sex Lives of College Girls and the Mean Girls Broadway and movie musicals—inspired by the 2004 Lindsay Lohan film—has spoken about struggling with accepting and then eventually embracing her sexuality.
Now she's giving advice on dealing with going to a concert with a resistant mom.
A TikTok fan account for Rapp shared a clip from a livestream featuring the entertainer answering questions.
The question in the clip was:
"How do I convince my homophobic mum to come to your show?"
At first, Rapp was like, "Thanks, but no thanks," saying:
"I don’t know if I want her there, I’ve got to be honest. I feel like you should just run."
@reneeismotherr/TikTok
Tackling the query, Rapp said:
"But if you’re trying to open up the doors and you want it to be 'it’s us altogether' and not 'us versus them', that I respect, and you absolutely can bring her."
You can watch the clip here:
@reneeismotherr I’ll try sedating and knocking them out cold and let you all know how it goes #reneerapp #wlw #livestream #live
Rapp continued by offering some unconventional advice on getting that reluctant mom to stay at her concert.
She said:
"I’m not sure she’ll like it, I’m not sure she’ll leave being a changed woman, but you could try sedating her and maybe dragging her against her will, perhaps."
"Knocking her out cold, and then she wakes up in the middle of GA [general admission] at one of my shows, and she’s surrounded by a bunch of gay people, that might help."
People appreciated Rapp's authenticity.

This is not the only advice Rapp has offered.
She shared the importance of building community with Cosmopolitan magazine in June.

And Rapp shared advice about feelings in musical form on Sesame Street.
Like Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby learned, feel your feelings and maybe give yourselves a hug.
