Hey guys.

Welcome back to another episode

of, here Comes The Drama.

I'm your host, Krista Ennis, and

this is a solo episode today.

If you guys are new here or new to

listening, I do one of these every

month other than the Patreon episodes,

which is completely separate.

but I thought we'd do something a little

different this month and because we are,

seven months in of doing the podcast and

it's just been so much fun to create.

I thought today we would do something a

little different and highlight the top

five moments from all the episodes so far.

And I've seen podcast use before where

they share like a little snippet,

but I want you guys to feel a little

like it's still a unique episode.

Okay?

So at the very end, of course, as

always, it's gonna be a brand new story.

But before we get to that, I'm gonna do

top five moments with different guests

on the show and play the clip from

that episode and introduce it as to.

Why it was just such a crazy moment.

these are moments that

had our jaws dropping.

I honestly had to do some double

takes because I wasn't sure that they

actually happened, but they're insane.

we get some crazy stories sent to us

and this is just a thank you episode

to everyone that submits stories

who listens and shares with their

friends because it just means so much

to me that I'm able to hang out with

you guys and, do what I love here.

So.

Thank you guys.

I know it was a little bit of a

ramble, but hey, if you're used

to hearing me talk, I ramble.

Sometimes it's just the way it goes.

Starting off, let's do.

Some would you rather.

Wedding Chaos edition.

I'm talking bridesmaids,

brides, all that kind of stuff.

so here we go.

and I'm gonna answer just, I

dunno, I haven't read these.

We're gonna see what happens.

Would you rather your bridesmaid

shows up in a white dress or your maid

of honor roasts you in her speech?

I've talked about this before.

I could not have cared less if

someone at my wedding wore white.

I think white dress would be fine.

I mean, if it's not a wedding

dress, I don't really care.

People know who the bride is.

Okay.

Trip down the aisle in front

of everyone or drop the wedding

cake right before cutting it.

I think I'd rather drop the wedding

cake tripping down the aisle.

I would be mortified.

A cake.

You know, you kind of laugh it off.

We got other desserts.

It's fine.

Would you rather have a makeup fail

in every photo or forget to change out

of slippers and walk down the aisle?

Forget to change outta

slippers, obviously, because

that sounds really comfortable.

I myself didn't even wear, no,

I wore heels for the ceremony

only, and then I put on sneakers.

So that's how I feel about shoes.

I really don't care.

would you rather sit next

to your ex at the reception?

So I'm guessing it's not my own wedding.

Hopefully that'd be kind of weird.

Or let your mother-in-law

plan the seating chart.

my personal, I would love my

mother-in-law to plan the seating chart.

She's super organized.

She's great at that stuff.

so yeah, I would definitely rather

my mother-in-law be involved with

the wedding and help with that.

' cause she was very involved in my wedding.

She's super crafty, super organized.

So yeah, I got lucky with that one.

Okay.

Would you rather go over your budget

by $5,000 or have your outdoor

ceremony completely rained out?

This is easy for me because

it was kind of rained out.

at our venue, we had an option to

get married inside, which we loved.

And there was an outdoor courtyard,

so if it happened to be warmer or

nice, we could get married outside.

But we woke up and it was pretty

chilly and I think it ended up

raining during the ceremony.

we weren't really counting on it

though, because we got married at the

end of March and where I live, it's,

you never know what you're gonna get.

You could be in seventies or you could

probably, you could be in like thirties.

I always joke about our wedding day.

It was like every kind of season.

We woke up, it was sunny, it was

like maybe forties, then we had

some rain, we had some clouds,

and we even had some snow.

So we got all of the seasons.

okay.

Would you rather find out your

bridesmaid is proposing to her boyfriend

at your wedding or learn someone

secretly brought their own cake?

Probably bring their own cake.

I mean, why not?

Who cares if you bring your own cake?

I mean, people have dietary restrictions.

Maybe they wanted something that they

could enjoy gluten-free or dairy-free.

Would you rather lose your

dress in transit or your wedding

accidentally scheduled on the

same day as a major family event?

Ooh.

See the planner in me is like,

well, how would that happen?

Because it wouldn't be that major

if other people are RSS v ping to

the wedding that are in my family.

So I would just say

the second one, I mean.

I don't wanna lose my dress in

transit, so we're gonna go with that.

It's funny.

So I am in my closet.

If you guys don't know

this, I recorded my closet.

If you're watching the video,

literally a bridesmaid.

I should do a bridesmaid.

You guys, I know you can't comment,

but I have a bridesmaid robe in

here from when I was a bridesmaid.

I should show you guys maybe in a

video on social media or something.

All the stuff I have

from being in weddings.

So I talk about it all the

time, but I don't talk about

like personal stories a lot.

But I have probably three or

four, robes in my closet, guys.

A DHD oh my gosh.

I forgot I was doing hot takes, whatever.

Okay.

I have four, five bridesmaid robes.

I've got two bridal jean jackets.

that's a story.

That's for my wedding though.

I've got a bunch of like.

Stuff from my bachelorette party

when I was engaged and guys, I

probably have six bridesmaid dresses.

The weddings I were in in the beginning

of my bridesmaid career are long gone.

sorry if you guys are listening.

They're, they were dresses I would

knew I would never wear again.

I think that's probably the first three or

four bridesmaid dresses are were donated.

So.

Sorry guys, but I have a bunch of

other ones in my closet right now

that I've been telling myself I'll

wear again, dunno if I will or not.

We'll see.

okay.

Sorry guys.

Back to where I was.

Let me know if you guys think I should

do some kind of video on all that stuff.

I don't know.

Okay.

Would you rather have your

officiant call you the wrong name?

I read a story about that once

or your wedding video go viral

for all the wrong reasons.

Ooh, those are both like E, those Sting.

I would say officiant.

Call you the wrong name.

' cause with my name with Krista, I've

been called the wrong name my whole life.

I've gotten Crystal.

Christina, Chrissy, Christie.

I kinda just brush it off.

So I think I'd rather do that.

I don't want my wedding video to

go viral for the wrong reasons.

' cause I've seen that.

I've seen that.

And it's not fun.

It's not fun.

Okay.

last one.

Oh gosh.

Would you rather catch your best man doing

a drunken strip tease or get a text the

morning of the wedding that your DJ quit?

DJ quit.

I highly recommend DJs obviously,

but worst case scenario, if a

DJ called, quit or whatever.

Tons.

All my friends have great playlists

on their phone ready to go.

We got Spotify.

I know it doesn't replace the

announcement the DJ can do.

we loved our dj.

He did a great job, but worst case,

I do not want my best fan doing

a dance on the floor like that.

Okay.

Let's get into it.

I think another episode, I

wanna talk a little bit more

about the weddings I've been in.

I've shared little stories here and

there, but it's funny, I was thinking

about reflecting on different weddings

I've been in and I was like, I don't

really have that many of crazy stories.

I do, what I can kind of share right now.

The first wedding I was ever

in, was my sister's wedding,

and I was the maid of honor.

I was.

19 or 20 years old.

So that looked way different

from the last wedding I was in.

The last wedding I was in,

I was 30, how old am I now?

I'll be 35 when this episode comes out,

sharing a little detail about myself.

well, the last wedding I was in, I

was pregnant, so I was probably like

32. I was six months pregnant.

Completely different scenarios.

Right?

That was for, a friend of mine, my

husband's cousin actually, and I was

a matron of honor in that wedding.

Maid of honor.

Maid of honor.

So, what I can say is with the

first Wedding I was ever in.

I didn't really know

what to expect, right?

So I'm underage, I can't like plan a

crazy bachelorette, that kind of thing.

the bridal shower was at my parents'

house, so we kept it really small.

This was kind of before

Pinterest and all that stuff.

So it was very simple.

It was fun because it was family.

my sister had a pretty, I would

say, small wedding party, right?

My speech, I like took time.

I wrote it all out.

I made sure it sounded, you

know, very like heartfelt.

I was also in college, so there

was a lot going on, right.

I go to get my speech, I

wanna say I was second.

Yes.

So the best man goes before

me, had nothing planned.

He stood up and just

went on a whim and just.

Started talking.

I didn't have a clock in front

of me or a phone in front of me.

I don't know how long he talked,

but I wanna say he talked for like

10 minutes and no one cut him off.

And it was someone that I

think in his mind was like,

oh, I know all these things.

I'm gonna say I got three points.

I'm gonna go with it.

And then it just kept going.

So meanwhile, I'm sitting there and I'm

getting more and more nervous because

you know when you're ready to talk and

then they just keep pushing it back.

You're just like, okay, okay, I'm ready.

I'm ready.

So eventually I stood up to talk and

I had a printed piece of paper, and

I remember shaking the whole time.

I felt like I was giving

like a school speech.

I looked out here and there to

the audience, but most of the

time I was just like staring down.

yeah.

So then the last one, like I said,

I was six months pregnant and.

gosh,, it was a really fun wedding,

but I wish I would've asked for more

help because here I am, like on the

floor trying to move her dress and

like train behind her with my big

belly, and I'm on the shorter side.

So when I was pregnant, it

was like I had a big belly.

Guys, I'm not afraid to say it.

It was just really hard to move.

So I'm like trying to get

down these, in these heels.

and it was not easy.

Doing all that, but it was fun.

it was fun to be in a wedding

pregnant, however, It was

interesting going dress shopping.

You had to find, I guess, a certain one.

Then you try to get it fitted around it.

Right.

But as my mom says, it's way

better now than when she was

pregnant as a bridesmaid.

They just didn't have the flattering

styles to fit your pregnant

belly, I guess she would say.

But there's like eight

weddings in between all that.

So maybe one episode I'll kind of

share some highlights about each one.

They're all just different.

Every bride is so different to what

they need, their audience, their family.

The type of wedding I've

done very DIY weddings.

I've done something from like.

Campsite.

Like we literally were at a

campsite, not a bridesmaid.

I was just there helping, where we picked

wild flowers and it was very chill and

laid back and we could wear just like

sundresses all the way to like a super

expensive, fancy wedding in the city.

where we took a bus around

downtown getting photos and

that just felt so elegant.

and.

They all end up beautiful.

So I know I'm going on like a little

tangent now, but just kinda reflecting

back, okay, let's get into it.

Top five moments.

I didn't have anyone vote on these.

It just kind of based on like downloads

and then me looking at the stories

again and being like, oh my gosh.

Yeah, that was a insane story.

So these are like top five.

I want to hear from you guys though.

Which one of yours were like the.

Craziest.

Okay, so coming in at number five is when

Cassie Harrell Wedding Pro cast came on

for the social media screaming match here.

It's

When we announced that we were

engaged on Facebook, oh gosh,

everyone seemed very happy about it.

Then I started to see angry faces

and a lot of negative comments.

My mother-in-law commented saying,

how effing, the actual word,

effing dare you announce this

without asking my permission first?

not on a public facebook post

This is terrible.

So bad.

then it only got worse from there.

She proceeded to call me names

and tell me that I wasn't

good enough to marry her son.

Oh my gosh.

all while she was commenting, my

sister-in-law was calling and yelling

at him about how they should have

had a family meeting about allowing

a woman with kids into the family.

What?

I felt sick and unwanted.

That is terrible.

Family meeting.

Oh, my gosh.

Eventually we get to planning the

wedding and his mom had made it

very clear that she did not want any

part of helping plan the wedding.

We tried to include her many times, but

she would just keep saying rude things

about how my wedding didn't need to

be the center of every conversation.

So my husband is from a really small town

and we went there for the Fourth of July.

This was the first time I would

be meeting his dad and step

mom, his brother and sister.

Yes, the same sister that was

calling and yelling at him.

It was a good time, and they were

very interested in all the things

that we had planned for the wedding.

Okay, so it seems like some

family member was like,

this is turning around.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Maybe.

His dad told us that we had an

allotted amount of money to use, and

that if he needed anything beyond

that, his mom would have to help us.

the dad's ex wife.

so it was the day we went dress

shopping and because we had so many

bridesmaids, the place was a full house.

Everyone was having the best time.

Then we felt a shift in the

energy and my mother in law

walked in just the gray clouds.

Here we go.

She was extremely upset that no one Picked

her up to bring her to the bridal shop.

She sat down and shouted,

Let's get this thing over with.

I don't want to be here all effing day.

She seems nasty.

Yeah, why even invite her?

Like, I would be like,

No, you're not coming.

Cause I wouldn't even want

someone's opinions like that.

My mom looked over at her and asked her to

leave then if she didn't want to be there.

Yeah.

Then she said, She's been married

before, so I don't know why

she even needs to buy a dress.

That is terrible.

I hate that.

She could have gotten one at Goodwill.

No.

Okay, that is terrible.

This lady's a witch.

Yeah.

I ignored the comments and

started trying on dresses.

There wasn't a dress I tried on that

she didn't have a rude comment about.

I would be telling her

to leave at that point.

That is, yeah, that's so like unenjoyable.

I finally found the one and

loved it and it made me happy.

Later that evening at

dinner, she tells my husband.

I found the dress that

hides my arm flab the best.

No, this is bad.

I don't know who this

woman is, but this is bad.

This is bad.

This is like one of the

worst stories I've read.

Oh my gosh.

The night of my rehearsal, my mother

in law sat there complaining the

whole time how she had to sit at

the same table as my father in law.

She kept saying he better not talk to me.

Then finally my brother in law shows

up late and my mother in law demanded

that I allow my brother in law's

wife in the wedding as a bridesmaid.

Excuse me?

At the rehearsal dinner?

Okay.

She was supposed to be my bridesmaid and

then they broke up and I guess they got

back together the week of the wedding.

Surprise.

Okay.

They called me many times that week

and never said anything about it so

I was a little taken aback by this.

my mother in law told me that she

told her to bring the dress with

her and that she would make me

let her be in the wedding again.

Okay.

So force this girl into the wedding.

Yeah.

and make my other bridesmaids sit out.

Wait, so that's even worse.

Like, we're just going to

swap you right in there.

This is terrible.

Oh my gosh.

I told her I wouldn't allow my other

bridesmaid who paid money for the

dress to sit out and they would both

have to walk down the aisle together.

That didn't make her happy and she told

me to just tell my bridesmaid that we

would reimburse her for the dress and

she could sit down and enjoy herself.

I again told her absolutely not.

She got upset and called

me a spoiled witch.

I'm a little taken back by this woman.

all right.

That was wild.

All right.

Coming in at number four is Rebecca

Rogers and the Surprise Wedding Guest.

On the morning of my wedding, the

bridal party was getting ready

in the bridal suite the groom was

getting ready in the groom suite.

One of the groomsmen didn't

follow instructions and showed up

two hours late with a different

girl than who we RSVPed for.

Okay.

This, this girl had a very

strong Russian accent.

went into the groom suite and started

talking to the groom and asking questions.

For example, is this a yee-haw wedding

and will you be doing square dancing?

Okay.

Interesting.

I mean, I guess like switching, I get it.

Like, girl, it doesn't really

matter, but it's interesting.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

Go ahead.

the boys kicked her out and told

her to wait somewhere else, and

she came then to the bridal suite.

She came in and started acting

faint and sat at a table demanding

attention from all the bridesmaids.

They were taking care of her because

they were worried and had a hard time

understanding her because of her accent.

When they turned away to finish getting

ready for the day, she ate my lunch,

the bride's lunch, the audacity.

There was no more food left until after

the ceremony, so I went to my wedding

hungry see I'm a big, like weddings that

I've been in and like helped coordinate.

I am big into like no one other than

the wedding party be in the room.

Like, yeah, why was she in there?

Yeah.

I feel like it's probably the

groomsmen that wasn't paying attention.

Being like, oh, just go in there.

You're fine.

You're one of the girls.

' cause I've seen that.

Yes.

That's what I can see that,

yeah.

okay.

I could give her the benefit of

the doubt in the groomsman suite.

I could give her the benefit

of the doubt and I'm like, ah.

She's just, you know, I think there

are such stereotypical views of

Americans in different parts of Europe.

Mm-hmm.

I can see her like

genuinely getting excited.

Is this a yha wedding?

Because like everywhere is Texas.

Yes.

People in Europe don't understand that,

they think cowboys, they think McDonald's.

they have very specific ideas

of what they think America is.

Yeah.

And.

Sometimes when they're like, oh my God,

am I going to be able to experience this

American thing that I only see on tv?

Like, they can get excited it can

come off as rude because I feel

like, especially in, Eastern Europe,

sometimes people are much more blunt

than we're used to here in the us.

which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It's just different.

But then the going into like weddings,

wherever you go, the bride is the star.

why are you demanding

attention as a guest?

That should be common sense.

Yes.

Why are you going and bothering

people you've never met before?

Like if, right.

I can even maybe see like a, Hey, we

don't want you to mess up with the setup.

Stay in the groom suite.

Why are you sending her?

I can see why a man, I love men.

Some men are dumb.

Not all men.

Always a man.

Not all men, always a man.

Yeah.

Why is some man being like, yeah.

This is not babysit your girlfriend

time, Tinder, chick of the week.

Like she could have even been

established as a new serious girlfriend.

It's not everyone else's

job to babysit her.

That's weird.

That's strange.

Why, did you have to bring someone?

Like if she had

nowhere else to go, why did you bring her?

yeah.

Especially being a groomsman.

I feel like you've got your guys

there, you got other stuff to do.

All right, let's, right,

let's see what happens next?

So she goes to the wedding

hungry at that point.

Oh, wait, that's not all.

Oh my God.

Okay.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh my gosh.

You there was the whole story, girl.

We've got lots.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Continue.

Continue.

So Molly, okay.

Okay.

At that point, she got kicked out

and was told to wait in the ceremony

space wedding, and sues with no

other problems until the reception.

During the reception, the girl tries

to enter the bridal suite and the

groom suite where the wedding planner

catches her and tells her that it's

locked until after the wedding.

No one is allowed in except

for the bridal party.

Okay, good.

I'm glad the wedding party

planner is there now.

Right?

The girl on top of this Exactly.

The girl retrieved her groomsmen and they

tried picking the lock to the groom suite.

What, For what?

Why does she need to get in there?

Yeah.

All right, coming in.

Number three is Suzanne Lambert

and the Lake House Pantry Showdown.

My fiancé and I discussed how

upset we were with the day, okay,

so now, now he's around, and how

comfortable she had made things.

he was very supportive and felt

the same way two days later, he

called her to address it, telling

her that her behavior was unfair

and made everyone uncomfortable.

She exploded saying, I'm going

to change her name again?

Is this why Kelly doesn't like me?

And hung up.

She then gave us a science by right.

Like the, yeah, the girl

that wrote the story.

Yeah.

Okay.

huh?

what gave it away?

Like, are you

acting?

it's so funny because like

mother in law's like this.

a level of awareness.

Like, they get there, right?

They get, oh, Kelly doesn't like me,

but they don't see any of the lead

up to anything they could have done.

They look at it as a spontaneous event.

Yeah.

and all of a sudden she didn't like me.

And it's like, are you forgetting

the a hundred things you did

before she reacted the one time

or the time that they

finally like snap back.

they're so mean.

I don't do anything wrong.

And it's like, that was like

the story I read yesterday.

I'm like, Oh my god, this victim mentality

of like, why would she say that to me?

I'm just your mom.

I just care so much.

It's like, no, that

was not the full story.

No,

because if you cared, you, would be

like, oh my god, I hurt your feelings.

I'm so sorry about that.

that's a normal way to do.

Can you imagine like if someone called

you and was like, Hey, at our engagement

party, you made us feel bad and sad and

whatever, like you would be horrified

because you're a normal person.

Imagine like.

that's why they don't like me?

Oh my god.

what?

I don't understand.

And, like, if she had been like, oh,

that's why she doesn't like me, that

would be like such a different thing.

Like, oh, okay.

I didn't realize how

annoying I was being noted.

You know?

Won't do it again.

sometimes you need a little kick in the

ass to be oh, I'm like acting a weird way.

Yeah.

But that's wild.

And then to hang up, I don't

believe in hanging up the phone,

especially on your own son.

Right.

this is a long one.

I love this.

Sorry, Nellie, but I'm living for this.

This is crazy.

Okay.

She then gave us a silent

treatment for three weeks.

I bet it was a really nice three weeks.

That sounds lovely.

That sounds like a vacation.

Yeah.

Silent treatment.

That sounds ideal.

She should do that more often

and with others in her life.

I would imagine.

That is beautiful.

Best case scenario.

I feel like in these scenarios,

just keep it going, please.

She even ignored my fiance's birthday,

which is weeks after the incident.

Normally they every other day.

So this was very shocking

until then we had no issues.

And I thought our relationship was fine.

Her behavior was hurtful,

especially to my fiance.

Thankfully his who witnessed

everything supported us agreeing that

his mom's actions were out of line.

We had a wonder if the aunt is on the

dad's side or the mom's side, cause that

also kind of changes things a little bit.

It's her sister.

Hopefully the aunt is going to

her being like, You're being nuts.

If it's the dad's sister,

she's like, Oh, I've seen this

from this from the beginning.

One of us wanted him to end up with her.

Like, we all wanted him to end

up with the other girl, you that

dynamic is interesting, too.

Yeah, I know.

Like earlier at the party,

I think she said the mom's

sister or the on the mom side.

That's

worse, honestly.

your own sister being like, yeah, but

again, hope the aunt is going to the mom.

Like, if I saw my sister acting

that way, or if they saw me acting

that way, they would be the first

to be like, hey, cut it out.

Exactly.

Okay.

We had a 4th of July weekend

planned at his family's lake house,

and she was supposed to join us.

She didn't show up until

the weekend was nearly over.

When she arrived, there was no

warm embrace, no belated birthday

wishes for her son, just coldness.

It's like, why even come?

It was incredible.

Yeah.

Awkward.

Cause she wants to have

her Real Housewives moment.

She thinks she's on Real Housewives of

Orange County, with a dramatic show up.

Girl, no one was worried.

the silent treatment, the weekend

without you, where we're just like,

chillin eating hot dogs, waving

flags, like, it was all going really,

the vibes were high, like, yes.

yeah, she wanted to come in with the

sad music, everyone's like, oh no,

what's, wrong with Barb over there?

A fur coat.

Yeah, like, mope dramatically

around the house.

Puffin and puffin Like, what we

would do when we were like, sleeping.

Seven and like our parents made

chicken for dinner and we didn't want

chicken that's what she's she wanted

spaghetti She didn't want chicken.

So now she's making it everyone's problem.

Yeah.

Oh my god.

So true my fiance I decided

we needed to address this.

He pulled her aside in the pantry

while I stayed around the corner

I love, like, the sour

cream and onion chips

listening in,

you know?

That seemed like the best

spot.

Funny

setting conversation.

I love that she added that in.

Yeah, the pantry,

it really sets the scene.

It's like, this is dire.

This is a dire situation.

That was the quickest spot.

He started by saying we wanted to

resolve things, but she exploded again.

She accused us of keeping the

wedding a secret because we

wouldn't share the venue address.

A narrative she created.

She claimed I had promised to send it to

her and didn't, saying she didn't do shit.

At that point, I stepped in the

conversation and said, Well,

it's my turn to enter now!

Okay.

And just a little note, guys, that was the

one we did the follow-up episode where the

original person that sent in that story

came on and shared her site even more.

So if you're looking for some more

detail on that, check out that episode.

And number two was with Saron

oba, the Las Vegas letdown.

Two days later, I made a Facebook

post about the wedding and

saw that my mother in law had

untagged me from her earlier post.

When my husband asked why, she

said, it was a post only for you.

Ew.

Do you wanna fuck your son?

Like, what is going on here?

Why?

I'm sorry, curse here?

Yeah, you're fine.

I'm a

little late to ask that question, but.

Redo!

No.

Yeah, it'll be fine.

I don't know.

That is, yeah, why?

I don't get these mother in laws that

hate their daughter in laws so much

that they don't care what they say,

like no one's good enough for their son.

I don't, know what it is.

It's enmeshment.

I think that's the word.

no, it's emotionally incest, even worse.

Yes.

No, that's creepy as hell.

Right.

once you meet this psycho

mother in law, right?

and you see that this man sees nothing

wrong with their relationship and kind

of encourages it and won't ask her.

How are you still attracted to this

man that might want to fuck his mom?

Like, how do you not get the

ick immediately and run away

from, like, self preservation?

Yeah, cause my thing is, this

is not the first time something

like this has happened.

She had of given signs before

they got engaged, or when they

first met, I'm thinking, like,

first dinner at a parent's house.

Every girlfriend

had a book before

him, before her.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Yeah, like, what were the signs before?

Yeah, because it wasn't like, oh, they're

engaged now, they're serious, now my

real, like, craziness is gonna come out.

Like, I feel like she had to have

treated her poorly before this.

Right.

And the sister in law is also a as well.

Yeah, what's the deal with that?

Okay, three days after the wedding, she

texted my husband saying she wanted to

talk about my behavior at the wedding.

What?

He told her he wouldn't have

that conversation without

me there, and she refused.

A few days later, she blocked me on

social media and deleted my husband?

So what her behavior was like having

boundaries and like, No, expecting her

parents to be able to

sit in the front row.

Yeah.

And not allowing the friend of

a co worker of her neighbor's

nephew to come last minute.

Those were the things.

Right.

Those were the things.

Those are really harsh to have.

I mean, maybe blocking on social

media and deleting the husband is

like the best thing, because then you

guys can't see her on social media.

I wouldn't have said a thing

about that.

I would have

said,

great.

I'm like, awesome.

Yeah, you saved it.

saved me from doing it.

When I tried reaching out,

she called my husband crying.

Here we go.

The victim saying she'd been crying

every day because of how I treated her

when he defended me like a good, she

hung up because she realizes he gone.

he's not backing you

up anymore, crazy mom.

He is now

someone else's husband.

Not yours.

Yeah.

Not yours.

Finally, my husband texted her

saying she had two options.

Have a conversation or lose him.

She replied, I guess I won't

be seeing you anymore then.

I mean, I would say hallelujah.

I would be like, I'm so sorry, babe.

Yeah.

It'll be like, we'll, we'll get this.

It's just trying to keep my face straight.

Okay.

I know.

I feel like the petty in me, I'd text

her, I'd be like, well, have a great life.

Best of luck.

Yeah.

Honestly, I'm relieved, you know, and

I really hope they don't contact her.

And I hope it's just like left that way

because like we were saying, this mother

in law would make her life a living hell.

number one for the craziest wedding story

I ever read on a podcast episode was

with Pile Desai wedding brawl disaster.

My sister and I were always super

close to our cousin and his sister.

When he got engaged to his first wife,

they invited my sister, his sister,

and me to be a part of their wedding.

We happily accepted during the planning.

They asked my boyfriend at the time to

be a DJ for the wedding, and he accepted.

We were getting everything set up for him.

We had to travel out of state for

this while also getting our dresses.

During the time his sister announced her

pregnancy, his fiancé did not like that,

and then kicked her out of the wedding.

Wait, what?

So their cousin The girl cousin?

Yeah Announced

Her pregnancy.

And the fiancé kicked her

out of the wedding for that.

Oh, wow.

That's awful.

Fast forward to the wedding and reception.

The ceremony went well, but the

reception was a complete disaster.

Her parents went through the

wedding gifts and cards to pay

my boyfriend for his DJ services.

Oh my

God,

that's so

Tacky That's so, this is why, and

I've said this before, it's like

when you hire friends, they're

looking for like a little discount?

Mm-hmm.

Or they just not as, I

don't know, professional.

I don't think like friends

and business ever mix, No.

No, they don't.

That's a no for me.

You need extra like contracts in place

or to really make sure it's someone

that you want to work with, but most

of the time it's like, yeah, no,

it just gets mucky.

It gets mucky, and then you're

trying to go through cards to pay.

Dj,

the number of stories that I've

read about people hiring friends

for photographers and vice versa.

Mm-hmm.

And then they ended up with no photos

or they ended up with crappy photos

'cause it was someone just starting out.

Like, no, we're not doing that.

Guys.

well, and with a friendship

or even like with family, like

a falling out could occur.

And so why would you if it's a

professional and it, you don't have

like a relation to that person.

There's a contract and you abide by that.

But a lot of times if you're working

with a friend, like you may forego

the contract 'cause it's like, oh, we

don't have to make it all official.

Like you'll just do it for me.

there was a lot of animosity between

her family and ours the entire night.

If my family was ever on the

dance floor, which was most of

the night, her family stayed away.

What is the deal?

Also, I feel like if something like

that happened where they kicked out

someone for announcing a pregnancy, I

would already be like, this is weird.

Like, I don't know.

Especially like it's his sister

being kicked out of the wedding.

Yeah, when

you pick up your family and be

like, why are you kicking my sister

out for announcing a pregnancy?

do you think that there's like

an obligation to, including

like your husband's female?

Uh, family members in the wedding party.

'cause I don't think, there is no, like,

if you don't have a closeness with them,

like you should not feel obligated.

'cause I feel like when you do, this

is the kind of stuff that happens.

Whereas if you're just like, Hey,

I'm marrying into your family,

you're marrying and into my family.

Let relationships happen like organically

and over time people become close or they

don't, but like, just including them for

optics is kind of a problem, I think.

Yeah.

As the night went on, my boyfriend

played our family song and

everyone was having a great time.

Out of the corner of my eye, I

saw someone shove my grandfather.

Okay, what's going on here?

After that, all hell broke.

Loose fights erupted all

over the hall, tables broke,

and there was blood everywhere.

What?

That's awful.

Wait.

That escalated so fast.

I'm like, what happened?

Like, so I feel like there is like a piece

of this story missing where there was

some like conflict or tension that is not

being shared because there's no way that.

It went from like kicking somebody

out of the wedding and then

everyone's angry at each other.

Two sides, of the family are

not interacting, engaging.

Dancing together, celebrating, and then

all of a sudden it's like a, a bloodbath.

What?

Yes.

No, I'm like

picturing it like, um, like Romeo

and Juliet right now, or like

the two sides are like battling.

Um, and it started off very innocent.

Like, hey, like they, they like chose

the wedding party, we're all in it,

we're excited, and then boom, like.

I don't know what the heck.

This is insane.

It says the bride's mom got

into my face for no reason.

Mind you, I was only 18 at the time.

She went to shove me,

but I was pulled away.

Why are people just shoving people here?

what is happening?

Someone threw my mom to the floor

and broke my boyfriend's custom

built speakers, like, oh, no.

Someone threw your mom to the floor,

pushed your grandfather, like this is

the most violent story I've ever read.

Yeah, Okay, wait, there's

a little bit more.

it says the state police arrived.

It turned out, the bride's parents had

told my cousin his new wife to leave the

reception before e everything escalated.

So they had no idea what was going on.

Okay.

So like I said, those

are some crazy stories.

If you did not hear the full stories

of those, go back and check 'em out.

We're gonna put the links to the

full episodes in the show notes.

You guys can check them all out.

But I'm so curious to hear what you

guys thought were the craziest episodes.

Tell me on social media, DM me.

Post it in my Patreon,

whatever suits you best.

and as I promised, we are gonna do

an exclusive story because I just

couldn't fathom the idea of sharing a

new episode without a new story in it.

I know the whole point of sharing

some highlight episodes is so I

can like take a week off, but I

just felt weird about doing that.

Okay, here we go.

So why her sister-in-law?

Why would they come after her?

Mind you, I had no intention

of doing it that way.

I had just been confirmed Catholic

and everyone else in the family had

already been raised in the church.

This all happened before

her bridal shower, which of

course became another issue.

The bride and groom had planned for

everyone at the shower to head over to

the bride's parents' house afterward

for a small after party, just a

casual thing, maybe 30 plus people.

The groom's mom shut it down immediately.

No, we are going to my brother's

house after you two or just

the groom need to be there.

What, why are they so upset about it

being at the bride's parents' house?

This is another one where it's like the

parents are competing with each other

because of some hidden reason, right?

Like there's a just story I just

read where it's about money.

There's another story where I have

read where one felt like the other

one had more control, but they

won't just come out and say it.

It's also hard when it's

not your wedding, right?

So.

Depending on their relationship with

their son, maybe he's not relaying

all information to them, so when

they're feeling left out, I don't know.

It's hard.

I've never been in that position, so I

don't know what that could feel like.

The groom replied, we live 20

minutes away and they've never

even invited us over before.

The bride's parents have been planning

this after party for over a month.

Okay, so what ended up happening?

My fiance, me the groom and his

dad all went to the uncle's house.

Meanwhile, the groom's sister and

mom went to the bride's parents'

party and were confused and upset

when the rest weren't there.

Wait, I'm so confused by this

story, so you're telling me.

Last minute just because

his parents demanded it.

They ended up going to the uncle's house,

but the groom's sister and mom

went to the bride's parents' house.

That's so weird.

Why would they do that?

Okay.

Sometimes reacting in real time

is hard because I'm still piecing

like the puzzle pieces together.

I'm only like getting part

of the story too sometimes.

so that's my first reaction.

What the heck is happening here?

Okay.

Fast forward to now, the groom's parents

are insisting on using their PTO to come

visit, even though the couple explained

that they had used their PTO for the year.

Between their own wedding, honeymoon,

other family weddings, and my wedding.

So

they're talking about events

that are coming up still.

So the person that wrote

this is currently engaged.

There's a bride and groom's wedding

that's coming up, and the groom's

parents are the ones that are kind

of causing an issue in all of this.

Don't like the wedding invitation.

Something on there offended them

Probably because I think it's like the

bride's family is introduced, right?

And it's like the daughter of so

and so is getting married too.

Right?

So they were offended 'cause they're

not like the main name on it.

then they're mad because they want

everyone to go to their house after

there was a plan for over a month.

But it's just weird that part of

the family decided to go, okay.

Still, the groom's parents were

offended saying they felt unimportant

and never got to see their son.

Keep in mind, they live three hours away.

The groom manages a PT clinic.

the bride is in law school working at

a firm, and their schedules are packed.

That's hard when you

live three hours away.

That's really hard.

I don't know if the parents are working

as well or if maybe they're retired.

That's probably a little bit

easier for them to go to them.

However, not something you

really have to plan for.

I know like my parents live

just about an hour away from me,

so we have to make an effort.

Like we have busy schedules,

but you have to make it work.

However, we don't know this relationship.

We don't know if he wants to

make it work or, I don't know.

Three hours is a lot.

Maybe they can do a zoom call.

but the groom's parents still try

to force FaceTime calls at random

times that don't work for them.

Now, week of the wedding, the

groom's parents are insisting the

dad give a speech at the reception.

Oh, you knowgo.

You guys know how I feel about

someone insisting a speech.

Traditionally, the groom's family

can give a speech at, the rehearsal.

I've seen that many times.

Not always.

And then typically it's like the bride's

dad or family does it at the wedding.

I'm all for throwing

traditions out the window.

You don't have to stick

to your Traditions.

But insisting, I don't know.

It's hard.

'cause I feel like there's

like a lot of heart.

It sounds like there's a

lot of communication error.

The groom's parents miss their

son, they wanna see him, they feel.

Being pulled away.

However, they're just going

about it the wrong way.

and I just never feel like you should

insist, like, Hey, he needs to speak.

Maybe he's gonna say

something inappropriate.

Maybe he doesn't know his son

well enough to speak about him.

Maybe he doesn't know the relationship.

Maybe he doesn't support

the bride and groom.

So if you are personally not asked

by the bride and groom, don't

say you're gonna give a speech.

I've seen it happen so many times where.

Someone that wasn't supposed to give

a speech stands up and gives a speech.

Someone tells the bride and

groom, Hey, I'm giving a speech.

And sometimes they work out great, but

I feel like a lot of times the bride

and groom's then pushed into a corner.

So they say yes when they

don't really want to.

okay.

The bride explained that the dad

already had a planned speech at

the spot, at the rehearsal dinner.

So here we go.

Since there were already two maid of

honor speeches, a best man speech,

a short message from the priest and

her dad's speech at the reception.

So kind of like what I

was just talking about.

So they were like, Hey, you can

absolutely speak, but we've reserved

it for the rehearsal dinner,

the groom's mom responded with.

So no one's going to hear

the groom's dad speech.

Mind you, there'll be almost 70 people

at the rehearsal dinner, and they're

mostly from the groom's side of the guest

list anyway, so we'll see what happens.

And yes, I'll send another story.

If anything wild goes down this weekend.

Oh my gosh.

I kind of wanna quickly see if

this person sent me another story.

Okay.

They haven't yet, so we'll have to

do a follow up and see what happened.

I wanna get my feedback though

on this, or my comment on this.

If you really care about your son and

you're really excited about giving

a speech, it's gonna be for your

son and your future daughter-in-law.

It's not gonna be for everybody else.

And if you're pushing more like, oh,

well, no one's gonna hear my speech.

Your son is gonna hear your speech, the

person that it really matters about, and

there's still gonna be 70 people there.

I guess not the main setup, but if

someone asked me to do a speech at

the rehearsal, I would be honored.

I'd be like, that means so much to me.

so again, I'm reading this as

there's a lot of hurt going on.

There's a lot of miscommunication.

And, they're not really

going about it the right way.

It also sounds to me like

the bride and groom probably

aren't making it a priority.

I mean, they live three hours away.

They seem to be kind

of living their lives.

and again, I'm only getting this

much detail, so I don't know what

went on or if they've always just

been closer to the brides family.

And that's hard.

That's hard when.

One set of parent is closer to the

bride and groom, or the couple,

because the other one sees them kind

of like, dwindling away or they kind

of feel like they're being pushed out.

But, there's a lot going

on here is what I'm saying.

Alright, well that's pretty wild.

I am gonna reach out to this person

and see if there's a part to the story.

They sent it a month ago,

so it happened a month ago.

We'll see if anything wild happened

during the wedding weekend.

I would hope the groom's dad just

accepts it and just gives the

speech at the, rehearsal dinner.

Who knows.

I don't know.

I've seen it.

Like I said, I've talked

about this before.

I've seen it before where

people push to give a speech,

and it doesn't always go great.

All right guys.

Well that's all I have this week.

Thanks for hanging out with me again.

This was just a very special episode to

kind of reflect on everything so far.

It's been so much fun to create

this for you guys and just hang out.

The stories I get are wild, and it's

just fun to kind of react with you guys.

if you guys don't follow me on YouTube,

YouTube's where I put the longer

content, I don't really talk about

that a lot on here, but obviously I

do the skits, and I do some one-off

reading on, TikTok and, Facebook,

Instagram, but YouTube every single

week I do release a long form video.

and I say long form where it's, it's

like 10 minutes, but I do read other

story submissions there as well.

So if you can't get enough, we

got more there and I got more on

my Patreon once a month as well.

So thanks for hanging out with me

and I will see you guys next time.

Bye now.
