I've heard you guys loud and clear.

You guys want more drama, more stories

and get rid of all the extra stuff.

One thing I will never get rid of though,

is just my random banter because it's just

fun just to add some little commentary,

believe me, we get lots of stories, about

the moms because they do really have such

a vital role when it comes to weddings

and I think it's really important that,

We all understand our role

and we understand like how we

can be helpful not overstep.

I always say this time and time again,

I'm so lucky that my mom and mother-in-law

were both so helpful and respectful.

Like on the wedding day, not like

taking anything away from me.

They knew how important it was to me to

be able to plan, but also I kept them very

involved as much as they wanted to be.

but we have a lot of stories.

about mothers of the bride that did

not really understand their role.

people get pushed to the wayside.

People get told how they're gonna

do things and it causes some chaos.

So, like I said, we're gonna do

things a little bit different.

We're gonna just Keep it fun today.

I mean, not saying it's not

usually fun, but we're just

gonna jump right into the drama.

Let's start with some hot takes.

Okay.

here are some hot takes

around mothers of the bride.

First one says, if she's

paying, she's planning.

Okay, so this is interesting.

I shouldn't say I have mixed feelings

about this because I'm pretty

consistent with my feelings on this.

If you are paying for the wedding

because you want to help as a gift

you can help with as much as the bride

and groom still want you to help with.

It does not mean because you're

paying, you can take control now.

I think it's all about mutual respect.

If there's a good relationship between

the bride, the groom, and the parents.

Then I think absolutely.

Let's help each other out.

You wanna take on this?

I'll take on this.

Absolutely.

Like, let's do it.

However, if it's already kind of a

rocky relationship and you're doing

it to hang something over their

head, then yeah, let's not do that.

because if you're paying just

so you can control things, then.

That altogether is not a great thing,

but we hear about it all the time that,

oh, well, she paid for it so she can

change it, or she can do it this way.

And I just don't agree with that.

But that's a constant

thing that we always see.

Right.

Okay.

Number two, wearing white is

a passive aggressive flex.

Yeah.

I mean, again, it depends on the wedding.

There are some weddings where

they're like, I don't care.

We're white.

It's a garden wedding.

We're, Neutrals or whatever.

however, unless specifically stated on the

invitation or told to you by the brighter

groom themselves, don't wear white.

I've heard a lot of stories where a mother

of bride has walked in wearing white,

and you can tell it's just too upstage.

So just putting that out there.

number three, she should walk

in before the bridesmaids.

Yes.

I don't know if I've been to a wedding

where she walks in after the bridesmaids.

That's just kind of like

how it typically goes.

the first few people might change a little

bit, but you typically have the groom.

in a heterosexual wedding, you typically

have the groom walkout first, whether

it's with his parents or by himself.

Then you have, his parents and then you

have, Depending if you want people to

walk on the aisle, sometimes parents

just walk out as part of the guest.

but like in ours, we had my husband

walked down with both of his parents,

then my mom walked with my brother,

and then, I think we did grandparents.

Then bridesmaids were before me.

Bridesmaids and grimmen were before me.

Flower girl, ring bear, all that stuff.

So yes, I think the parents should walk

out before the bridesmaids because you

want your family set first before like

the wedding party starts basically.

They wanna be able to see everything.

Okay, here we go.

Famous mothers of the bride.

Guess that mother of the bride.

Here So I'm gonna read a clue,

I'm gonna pause so you guys can

guess at home who you think it was.

Okay.

She tried to steal the spotlight

by wearing a white dress to her

daughter's wedding then dance with

her ex-husband on the beach in Greece.

Who is that mother of the bride?

That is Meryl Streep and Mama Mia.

Okay.

I have not seen that movie in a long time.

It's probably been since I was in college.

but it's a movie, so it's entertainment.

So don't take any of this.

It's seriously, but there's already a

lot of problematic things with this.

the next one I'm gonna read.

This high society mother of bride

lied to her daughter about her

father's identity times three.

Again, Amanda's mom and mama Mia.

So there's already some

problems, with that.

She wasn't completely

honest with her daughter.

so did she wear a white dress

to upstate her daughter?

I don't know.

Maybe she did.

Who knows.

Okay.

Number three.

she secretly planned her daughter's

entire wedding, didn't tell her, and

then expected her to go along with it,

including picking the venue and the dress.

Who was that mother of the bride?

That is, it's crazy 'cause you

read some of these and you're

like, that would never happen.

But I just, I just read a story

very similar to this that just

happened to someone that is

Jane Fonda and Monster in-law.

okay.

Number four.

She crashed her ex's new wedding

just to stir the pot because no

one upstages her in her own family.

I'm not familiar with this one.

That's Lucille Bluth vibes.

It says, in Arrested Development.

Okay.

There's two more.

This real life celebrity mother of

the bride wore a sheer beaded gown

to her daughter's Italian wedding

and somehow stole the spotlight.

The clue is momager.

Okay, that's Kris Jenner at

Courtney Kardashian's wedding.

I don't follow the

Kardashians very closely.

I used to watch.

What was their, show like on Hulu?

I've seen, I would watch that,

but I didn't grow up watching the

Kardashians, so I think I missed the

whole Courtney Kardashian wedding.

Now I know one of the daughters had

a wedding where they all wore white.

And guys, if you were big Kardashian fans,

you're probably laughing at me 'cause

you're like, what are you talking about?

I think they all just upstage each other.

I think they're all just

really into fashion and.

I don't know.

I think they all just are really

into it and looking good, so

I don't, I doubt she did it to

upstage her, but I could be wrong.

Okay, last one here.

She plays sweet and simple, but she's

the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Calmly steering the chaos of a

massive Greek family and reminding

us that the woman may not be the

head, but she's definitely the neck.

That is Maria Porticos in

my Big Fat Greek wedding.

I love that movie.

So let me tell you a

little funny backstory.

So I was in fifth grade, I

think, when that movie came out.

Not to age myself.

I think I was in fifth grade, and my best

friend and I at the time, we wanted to go

to the movies to go see something, right?

And it was one of those days, I think

it was like either a spring break

or summer, and we were just like old

enough to go to the movies by ourselves.

Like our parents would drop us off so

we could go and, my friend Valerie,

she was like, well this movie called

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is playing.

And I was like, I don't

even know what that is.

Like, I never heard of it.

And I told my mom, my mom was

like, oh, I think it's for adults.

I don't think you're gonna like it.

it might be just, Out of your

realm of what you would find funny.

And so we're like, whatever,

it's the only movie available.

And so we went and we were cracking up.

We thought it was so funny,

the whole Windex thing.

I mean, it's one of those classics and

I've since gone back and watched it.

'cause now I think they have two

or three of 'em and it's so good.

I love the mom.

porta, Collos.

I just think she's so wholesome and sweet.

Yes.

Is there some of that, control?

Of course.

That's more when they're dating though.

But you can tell she just like

so cares for her daughter and she

really, adapts to everything and I

think just, it's such a good movie.

So just a little side spiel.

Okay.

I better get into it guys, because

we've got four stories from the vault.

The first.

They get longer and longer as they go.

The first couple are pretty short.

The last one is The main one.

Again, I've not read these.

We kind of just searched for mother of

the bride and we're gonna see what happens

and we're gonna react in real time here.

Okay?

Number one, my mom stole several

thousand dollars out of our wedding

fund, so the night before I had to

cook all the food and make the decor

because it was the vendor money.

How does that work?

Because typically vendors are gonna

require deposit down and then still come.

So why would then you

have to make all the food?

it says she bought pills with it.

Tried to sell them to the wedding

guests while wearing a cocktail

dress that she was falling out of.

She also kept all my memorabilia, so we

literally had nothing from our wedding.

When I asked her why she would do

this, she shrugged and said, well,

you're getting married in my yard.

So this is very like off the

rails, but similar to I'm paying

for it so I can do what I want.

She's obviously not paying for it.

I mean, I don't know what parts she

was kind of paying for, but providing

the yard in her mind, she's like, well.

That means everything that's on this

yard belongs to me, I can control

things still several thousands.

I'm also wondering like, how

did she get access to it?

Was this a bank account?

So many questions you guys.

That's, bad.

That's pretty bad.

Okay.

Story number two, this happened at

my fiance's best friend's wedding.

First, his mom and uncle were very

upset because the groom said there

wasn't going to be any hard liquor

served at the reception only wine

in a couple different kinds of beer.

Oh my gosh, you guys, if you watch

my content, you've seen that one

that I just, not that long ago.

I think it was, Aaron.

I think it was like all

names from the office.

It was like Aaron, Pam, gosh, I don't

even remember who else was in it.

Jim.

it was so similar.

It was the sister like that didn't

wanna come because she was like, why

are you not having any hard liquor?

That is crazy.

His mom and uncle actually threatened

not to come, but then they decided to,

they would just have some hard liquor

before the wedding and showed up drunk.

They also snuck hard liquor into the

reception that they kept to themselves,

and also one of the groomsmen was

the grooms girl best friend as the

groom's mom was leaving the reception.

Okay.

Drunk as a skunk, she pulled the

girl best friend aside and told

her it should have been you.

Oh no, just reading this, I'm

realizing like, oh, this is

like a girl's mom, but whatever.

there's a lot to say here.

There's a lot to say here.

I mean, first threatening

to not come to the wedding.

This is your son's wedding, right?

Yeah.

The uncle and the mom are, threatening to

not come because there's no hard liquor.

That's a problem.

That is a problem.

If you're gonna refuse to not go

celebrate someone as close and

important as your son, that's a problem.

Then she decides to get drunk in

the parking lot or wherever before

the wedding tells the best friend.

Oh my gosh.

Should have been you.

the girl best friend, felt

instantly awkward and talked to

my fiance, who was the best man.

Not sure if she should

tell the groom or not.

In the end, she decided

it was the right thing.

She had to tell him.

Oh my gosh.

See, I think you should avoid

telling the bride and groom

anything until after the wedding.

Let them live in their wedded bliss.

Don't keep telling about the drama.

because there's so many people that

I've had stories send to me that

there were like, our day was amazing.

We had the best time.

Later we found out, or someone

told me this later, and I

just think let's do that.

Let's let them keep the peace.

And just live in their wedded bliss

because I don't know, it'll distract

them from their day if we're just telling

them like every little drama thing.

Anyways, it says the groom got in a big

fight with his mom and they ended up not

speaking for something like three months.

Oh my gosh.

That's insane.

Okay,

next one.

I'm breaking this one up so I don't.

Mess it up.

Story number three,

trying to not lose my voice again,

as of the date I'm recording this.

I had just lost my voice and I'm starting

to get it back again, but I'm realizing

like I'm doing even more talking.

This week I had three podcasts

episodes to film and filming content,

so I'm really trying to like.

Make sure I'm drinking water, taking

breaks and all that good stuff.

anyways, okay, so my brother married this

girl that literally my whole family hates.

We all tried to talk him out of it because

she and her family are nothing but drama.

hard.

And I know in her mind, and

again, I'm not a part of it, I'm

only reading a story here, but.

In her mind, she's like

helping him by saying that.

But there's some things you just have

to let them figure it out on their

own, because if something were to

happen, you don't want him turning his

back on his family being like, well,

you guys did this, or You guys blamed

them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

He needs to figure it out on his own,

otherwise it's gonna cause like a

bigger rift between him and his family.

but he wanted to marry her.

So my mom and aunt literally

did everything for the wedding.

Full on DIY, decor and favors

and helped pay for the venue.

I didn't wanna be in the wedding unless

I could stand on my brother's side

with our cousin and older brother.

She told my brother I was being

a selfish b*tch and a baby, and

if I didn't stand with her, I

couldn't be in the wedding at all.

It's hard.

if you already don't like the bride, then

I get not wanting to be in the wedding.

But you'll also at the end of the day have

to realize it's the bride and grooms day.

So if they want bridesmaids

on their side and groomsmen on

the other, that's their thing.

I've seen more and more sides get mixed

up with guys and girls or whatever, but

at the end of the day, it's their choice.

I don't know.

That's hard.

That's hard.

She says, fine.

Wedding day comes, and I was helping my

mom literally set the whole thing up.

We were at the venue all day.

her family was getting their hair

and makeup done, and they never

even asked my mom if she wanted

to come with them to get ready.

Her mom, this is the mother of the bride

came to the venue, which was a barn since

they did a fall country casual theme.

She showed up in a full blown sequin

floor length gown with fake eyelashes.

Hey, I'm not knocking fake eyelashes

though, because I had them at my

wedding and I got married in a,

Old Mattress factory.

That's a story for another time.

I mean, it's not really a story, it's

a cool, like rustic looking thing

Anyways, and we all have fake eyelashes,

but you can have 'em done different

ways and hey, if that's what you're

comfortable with, you do, you girl.

But a full blown sequin, floor length

gown is a little over the top for a barn.

That's where you kinda wanna know the

theme, But as a mother of the bride,

you should maybe know it, but I dunno.

it says the woman is 60.

She said the decor that my mom and

aunt made was tacky and looked cheap.

Okay.

No, that's just downright rude

When you didn't help with anything.

You cannot come in and tell them

that it looks tacky and cheap.

Like, come on.

There are zero pictures of our parents

with her parents during the reception.

Her father sat outside the entire

night and we honestly never saw him

after the father-daughter dance.

Her mom had invited her friends they

stayed outside all night and her

brother brought weed and was smoking

it with the flower girls right there.

Oh my gosh.

This is a mess.

Okay.

My dad was freaking out that we were

gonna get kicked out of the venue.

Meanwhile, the bride

didn't speak to anyone.

Changed into a t-shirt and jeans was

just on the phone, the entire reception.

Why are they getting married?

It sounds like they don't wanna be getting

married or like someone's pressuring them.

But if like his family doesn't like

her, the families aren't talking,

the bride herself seems unhappy.

Put on a t-shirt and jeans

right after it was on the phone.

Like, what's happening here?

The bride's brother took off his

shirt and was drunk running around

trying to pick a fight with guests.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, this is crazy.

The owner of the venue told my

dad to get him out of there, or

he was going to call the police.

Why is it up to the groom's dad?

That's weird.

My dad found the mother of the bride

and asked her to remove her son.

She told my dad that we were

being judgemental her son

was just having a good time.

No.

Oh, this isn't good.

my cousin, who was a groomsman, ended up

having to carry her brother out of the

venue get someone to drive him home, the

mother of the bride yelled at my cousin

for touching her son and making him leave.

That was our family being

rude and the whole wedding

was a disaster because of us.

That just shows you that.

Whoever tells the story is

gonna tell it from, you know,

obviously their perspective.

so this mother of the bride's probably

going around saying like, uh, the family

that my daughter married into is horrible.

They ruined their wedding.

They were so judgmental.

they took my son out.

They grabbed him.

all those things.

When in reality, well, we weren't there.

So we don't know what the real

story is, but according to this.

Sister of the groom, they were just

pretty disruptive and rude and drunk.

So that's what I'm getting from all that.

That's crazy.

That's when like, I really can picture in

my mind, like I picture them at this barn.

I picture them the brides in her little

t-shirt and just like, don't talk to me.

It's just awkward vibes.

Have you guys ever.

Been to a wedding where

there's just awkward vibes.

Like either people just feel

like they shouldn't get married.

There's a lot of chitter chatter.

There's a lot of like tension because

I definitely have, and you know, the

second you walk in, people are not.

I don't know.

seems a little more tense.

You can kind of feel it and like

I've known to be like a little

more like aware of these things.

Like if I go somewhere, like I can

tell like when there's tension,

some people don't notice it, but

like I've been to weddings where I'm

just like, what's the issue here?

Or are they not supposed

to be getting married?

Who got in a fight with who?

Like something's off.

I don't know.

Okay.

And this last one, Ooh, I need more water.

This one's like a long one, so

I need a voice break after this.

Alright, you guys need to share some

more of like your wedding guest stories.

I feel like I haven't been

to a wedding in so long.

Like I said, I don't know, I've said

another podcast, but like my husband and

I used to go to weddings all the time.

We were in weddings all the time.

And then, I don't know if it was just

perfect timing, but after having our

daughter, it seemed like less and less

people in our friend group were, getting

married or they were already married.

We've gone to one since my daughter

has been born and, she was only

three months old at the time.

And so, I feel like we're in that

lull where it's like we probably

won't have a wedding to go to for

a while, so it's nice break, but I

also like going to weddings a lot.

So, I'm gonna be a day of

coordinator for a wedding this

year, actually my birthday weekend.

So that'll be kind of fun.

I'm excited.

So that'll probably be the next wedding

I'll go to, but I won't be a guest.

And then I was day of coordinator.

Okay, now it's all coming back to me.

I was a day of coordinator

last January for a wedding.

That was really fun.

But I'm working, I'm

running around for those.

But any who?

Story number four.

This one's gonna be good.

All right.

She says.

I'm getting married in

late April of next year.

Back in June, I set up two

wedding dress appointments.

My sister who lives across the country,

two of my bridal party, my soon-to-be

mother-in-law and father-in-law,

and my mom and aunt were all

planning to come down and be there.

For context.

My mother had planned an engagement party

for us when my sister visited with my

niece for the first time last September.

It was more of a shared event so

that my sister-in-laws who were

also visiting could meet our family.

My aunt from both sides were also there.

We had to beg my family to take

photos of my fiance and me at

the event, but we laughed it off.

We were still so grateful

they planned something for us.

I sent everyone handwritten

thank you notes.

Afterwards, when I began wedding

planning, my mom started acting oddly.

She never really asked if I needed

help, but instead consistently brought

up things that she didn't like about

other weddings, including my sisters.

This is what we call unhelpful advice.

When all you say is things you don't

like and just start complaining about

things, that's not helpful because.

That only teaches the bride to be

critical of herself and question

everything that she does because

she's like, oh, is mom gonna like it?

Oh, she seems to like hate

a lot of things, right?

she sent me suggestions for things

she wanted to see at our wedding.

When it didn't fit what we had

wanted, I would politely decline,

but always thank her for her input.

As we booked our venue in my

fiance's hometown, his mom kindly

offered to plan the rehearsal dinner

at a small historic inn in town.

The Inn only seated 25 people max.

We were grateful for her help and

loved the venue, but after counting

parents stepparents our wedding

party and their plus ones, which is

traditional, we were already at capacity.

The only extended family invited was my

fiance's uncle, who is our officiant.

A few weeks before everyone came

down for dress fitting, I called

a video chat with my mom sister to

explain that we couldn't invite any

extended families to rehearsal dinner.

My sister said it made sense.

Traditionally only you invite

extended family if there's

room after immediate family.

And the wedding party now,

we'll obviously continue.

I have some different feelings about this.

I am more someone you picture who you

want at your rehearsal dinner first.

Then you try to find well

within your budget, right?

Then you try to find a

venue to support that.

Because I've been to weddings and been

a part of weddings where they're like,

well, we want this venue and we can only

fit 20 people, so now we're down to 20.

And then you have to make cuts of

important people that you want there.

And me, I look at it the other way.

I'm like, people first.

venue second, budget first, obviously you

wanna think of your budget, but I would

never personally, like if I have people

flying in for the wedding, I would never

leave 'em out of the, re rehearsal dinner.

That's just me.

I feel like you should invite

everybody that's flying in or like

immediate family flying in or in

your wedding party, but I know people

have different opinions on that.

Okay.

The, she said her sister had a rehearsal

dinner at a brewery that held 60

people, so she was able to include more.

I explained to my mom that ours just

couldn't accommodate that and even sent

her a wedding etiquette article to help.

My mom didn't have a traditional

wedding and never planned one, so I

thought it might help her understand.

My stepdad reassured me that she

understood and she would explain it

to my aunt and that it would be fine.

Something tells me it won't be fine.

My mom had mentioned that she

wanted to help with the wedding

in some way since my mother-in-law

had offered to help with my dress.

I gave my mom the same opportunity.

I told her my budget and what

the deposit would look like,

both the minimum and the maximum.

And also discussed having lunch

with two of my bridal party members,

which she offered to pay for.

I even sent her the menu and

after confirming everything was

okay, I made the reservation.

Well, somewhere between that call and

everyone arriving for dress shopping, my

mom and aunt had worked each other up.

They thought I was being rude to my

aunt who helped pay for the engagement

party, which I did send a thank

you for, that I was being selfish

asking my mom to pay for things.

My sister knew they were upset,

but they didn't tell me until we

picked her up for the airport.

She did tell her friends and

husband that she expected drama

but hoped it wouldn't happen.

So they're all talking about

her behind her back saying like,

this is nasty or this is bad.

There's gonna be drama, you know?

Oh my gosh.

We picked her up at four in

that day and had a three hour

round trip and no time off work.

My fiance and I were exhausted.

That same day my mom and

aunt arrived at our home.

They were apparently upset that I didn't

offer them coffee or food immediately,

which my mom would bring up later.

But again, my fiance was at

work and I was running on fumes.

The next day we went dress shopping

and had lunch with two of my bridal

party members and my mother-in-law.

There was an odd tension the whole time.

One of my bridesmaid later told me

she noticed my mom and aunt whispering

about the rehearsal dinner during lunch.

Oh gosh.

At the end of the lunch, my

mom didn't offer to pay for

the other women as discussed.

They kindly paid for

themselves without complaint.

She is some very good storyteller.

She gives a lot of great details.

We moved on to the dress shopping

and found a beautiful gown that

night we had dinner and dessert with

everyone, family in-laws and friends.

As I was helping serve coffee and cake

for 10 people, my mom started yelling

at me front of everyone to get her

coffee without ever offering to help.

Oh my gosh.

Out of nowhere.

I asked her to please be patient.

We were going as fast as we could.

Why can't she get it?

But this was all happening in front

of my friends and my fiance's parents.

It was so embarrassing.

My mother-in-law who lives outta state

and wasn't aware of all the drama,

took this as a moment to ask me a few

rehearsal dinner questions showed us

some pictures she took of the inn.

She was being helpful and including

my mom and aunt in the conversation.

Thankfully, my friends were in the

other room because my mom started

dramatically making faces and

sat beside my aunt who responded.

With only one word answers.

The mood was awful.

So they're feeling some type of

way and just being like cold and

standoffish without actually like

communicating, even though she's

trying to communicate to them, that

just makes things like so much worse.

The next morning at 7:00 AM I

got a text from my mom saying

she wanted to speak privately.

We had a group breakfast planned

with both sides of the family, and

she showed up early to catch me.

In front of the others, she told

me that my aunt's feelings were

hurt, that she wasn't invited, and

that I should quote unquote, do the

right thing by either adding her

or dis inviting my little friends.

She put that in quotes to.

That is insane.

For the record, my wedding party

and I are all in our thirties.

She said I was being

disrespectful and ungrateful.

She claimed my mother-in-law, clearly

expected my aunt to be invited.

She didn't and brought up again how my

aunt helped pay for the engagement party.

I get the hurt feelings and I get

it's uncomfortable and I get, she

probably expected to be there.

I don't know how close she's

with her aunt, but dictating

that you need to be there.

Or saying like, I need to be invited.

Do the right thing.

That's not a right or wrong thing.

Like I said, we all have our

opinions on how we personally

would do it, but like I said, I've

been to weddings where rehearsal

dinner is very small and that's it.

But every family's also different,

different, I personally, if I had

an aunt flying in, I would have

them be at the rehearsal dinner.

I do that for my own wedding.

So, I don't know.

I wouldn't say it's the right thing

and, to uninvite little friends because

obviously she wanted them there and

they were part of the wedding party.

Oh my gosh.

She said I made her pay for my dress

and the lunch that the restaurant was

too expensive that I should serve people

better when they come to my house.

I was so hurt and overwhelmed.

I walked out to the deck in tears.

My fiance followed me and told

me what she had said, or, and

I told him what she had said.

He was stunned.

He couldn't believe how cruel

and irrational she was being.

My mom and aunt left

after that with my sister.

I stayed behind with my in-laws and my

mother-in-law helped me while I sobbed.

It was the first time I had ever cried

in front of them, and I was beyond

embarrassed about my family's behavior.

To wrap it up, we went to one last

dinner before my mom and aunt left town.

My fiance paid for that too.

My mom and I didn't speak for a week until

I called her and confronted everything.

I gave her most of the money

back for the dress and the lunch.

She said there was fault on both sides

that I hadn't communicated well enough

and told me I was in your corner

until I read the article you sent.

It said, anyone who pays for

the engagement party should

be invited over other guests.

Oh my gosh.

So even if the article did say that

why is it the one thing she's pulling?

She's literally saying, this is etiquette.

Like this is all who I want

to invite to the party.

She held onto that.

I'm glad they're having like communication

now, but it sounds like the mom

just didn't really wanna hear her,

and I feel like once the aunt came

in and realized she wasn't invited,

that's when she's like, no, no, no.

I need to be invited.

This is not done.

This was not right.

She said, I reread the

article a dozen times.

It never said that I couldn't find

any etiquette source that did.

The mom is literally trying to.

I don't know what the right word is.

Coax her into thinking that that's what

it said, because that's so specific too.

Anyone who pays for the engagement party

should be invited over other guests.

Like what?

I doubt that's a thing because

that's such a specific thing.

that's, I don't believe it.

she said, so am I crazy or did

I make a terrible mistake while

planning my first wedding?

I mean, at the end of the day,

it's your choice what you wanna do.

I don't think there's

anything wrong in it.

Like I said, every bride's

gonna do it differently.

It depends on your relationship with

the person, the budget, location.

you specifically only want that one

location that has room for 25 and

you're like, this is what we're doing,

we added everyone up, that's it.

Then that's your choice.

So you can't really do

anything right or wrong.

again, if it were my wedding, I

would do it a little bit differently.

I would include the aunt, but.

I don't know how big her family is.

Maybe if you include that aunt.

You also then have to include her husband

and her kids and, their other cousins.

And their other aunts.

I don't know if it's just one aunt.

I'd be like, just include the aunt.

The best I got from

her was a half apology.

She later told my sister she

wouldn't be planning anything else

for me like the bridal shower.

Luckily, some of my friends are stepping

in, so I don't miss out on the experience.

But honestly, that weekend, which was

supposed to be joyful and focus on the

wedding, was completely overshadowed.

Oh my gosh.

So that was, crazy.

I feel like it was one of those

where there's a miscommunication,

and people see how it should be their

own way, they're afraid to like.

speak up, but instead of

just communicating, they're

gonna hold a grudge.

So I think the aunt got her all

upset about it And then they

just, completely took it from her.

Oh gosh.

All right guys.

Well, that was a crazy episode.

Thanks for hanging out with me but if

you guys love this episode, do me a

huge favor and tell a friend about it.

Share it.

because, you word of mouth is just the

best way to get it out, and it's just a

fun new little segment we're doing here.

I'd love to hear from you if you

guys, have an idea for an upcoming

episode, a new theme, something

you've seen in, the media.

Let's talk about it.

thanks so much for hanging out with me.

Until next time, keep the drama

fun and the champagne flowing.

Bye guys.
