So without further ado, here is my awesome interview with Saron from Saron things.

Enjoy.

Well, hello.

Thank you for coming on.

Thank you for having me.

I'm thrilled

to be here.

I'm so excited.

I was saying before we started, I feel like I know you from watching,

all your videos and your hot takes.

I mean, you talk a lot about things in the media, I mean, right now

it's like the Justin Valdoni and, I was gonna say Serena Vanderwiltsen.

Oh my gosh, aging.

haven't watched Gossip Girls in so long.

Blake Lively, totally a brain fart right there.

Could not even think of the thing

that people say about her is that, she plays the same person in every

character she plays.

So, like, Serena Vanderwoods and Blake Lively, kind of interchangeable.

It's fine.

I do get a lot of news from you.

Like, I'm like, okay, when I, like, see your video, I'm like, okay, I need

to see what's going on in the, news.

TikTok, it brings us all, the good stuff we want to hear about.

Can you just tell everyone a little bit about yourself, what you do?

and then we'll kind of get into these crazy hot takes.

Yeah.

So I make pop culture, content on Instagram and, uh, TikTok.

It's content about like the zeitgeist things that are going

on the media, celebrity gossip.

the most of my.

viewers and followers are women.

And I like to think that, women contain multitudes, right?

Like, I'm a political consultant in my, nine to five day job, but, I also am

obsessed with all things pop culture and, you Bravo and similar things.

So I like to, say that smart women Love this kind of shit as well.

so I like to take it from a kind of Look at these things

kind of from a higher level.

I like to be like fact based, but I also like to talk shit

So it's a fun little community.

Yeah, I love it.

I feel like it's just a great Real Housewives, that kind of stuff, it's great

to just turn your head off, do your mind off, and just, watch some, trash TV.

I haven't watched Real Housewives in so long, like, that kind, but I was a

big, like, New Jersey girl all the way.

Loved watching it.

So good.

You

have to, if you're gonna watch the Housewives, Salt Lake City.

Just watch that one.

I urge you.

To watch Salt Lake City.

There's only five seasons.

It's immaculate.

It's horrifying.

It's.

incredible, just please.

Okay.

I didn't even know there was one.

So I got to jump back in.

I kind of like hop around when it comes to reality TV.

I was in bachelor nation for a little in it.

I wasn't in it.

I watched it.

I missed

Oh, yeah.

No, definitely not.

and then I would watch Bachelor in Paradise and I was like, I don't know.

It's all the same.

Like I can't get into it.

So I like more of the reality.

Like what's going to happen is who's going to fight with who?

Right stuff.

Yeah, really

got into The Bachelor because I feel like none of the couples really make it.

So we're just doing the same thing over again.

We know how it's, they're going to, they might be with each other for a

little bit and then they break up or there's two happy endings and 30 seasons.

So, yes.

Yeah.

And it's funny.

I don't know if you saw, um, and by the time this comes out, this

will probably be old news, but.

Alex Cooper interviewed, I don't even know if you know who that Rachel Kirkholm.

Yeah, and they were one of the couples I was like, they're holding on strong.

They always presented themselves so happy.

And you see that and you're just like, it was all a lie.

Well, I think a lot of people are saying that he was just never gonna

marry her if he didn't want to get engaged at the end of this process

where the end goal is to get engaged.

What would make you think in the next four years something would change?

So I'm excited to listen to that interview too.

Yeah, I was listening to it last night part of it and I was like, Oh

my gosh, is, she got her like quick.

Let's talk about it.

So one of the reasons I was like, you would be perfect to have you come on

this podcast is because you have so many great hot takes and I feel like just with

these crazy, wedding stories, I get, um, proposal, engagement, all that stuff.

I was like, I need someone with some good opinions and we can just

kind of banter through some stuff.

So the first kind of category is crazy stories and wedding hot takes.

So I have some different hot takes that people send me.

And um, so I want to get your opinion on these.

So what is one wedding trend or something that you've seen at

weddings that you either absolutely include or you despise seeing?

cash bar, certainly, never, it's never okay under any circumstance.

That's a huge problem.

That's a huge problem.

Even if you don't drink.

Oh, alcohol free weddings.

Even if you are sober, you got to provide, got to provide a drink or two

and you can't make people pay for it.

I think it's like the tackiest thing in the world.

Period.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I love it.

I love it.

No, I love it.

I think it's great.

me personally.

I agree.

I feel like you need to have.

Something there.

I remember one time this actually just came to me.

We're talking about like crazy stories.

we're at a wedding and it started off semi open bar.

So like, I think certain things were selected.

It was fine.

But then they switched to cash bar without telling people and it was

like mid people getting their drinks.

my now husband and I were up at the bar and he ordered drinks for us.

And they were like, Okay, it's this total.

And he's like, Oh, I thought this was open.

Like, we didn't have like our wallets on us or anything.

And they're like, No, switched to cash at 8 p. m. It was the weirdest thing.

I would have said, Oh, I thought

this was a wedding.

Yeah,

I was like, Wait, this is weird.

so then he ended up getting his wallet, buying the drinks.

Then we left our drinks on the dance floor while we were dancing and they

cleared everyone's drinks off the table.

So we're like, they switched to cash bar mid wedding, didn't announce it.

And then we're clearing the drinks off tables when people were dancing.

Oh no,

that is absolutely unacceptable.

Absolutely.

You're like providing an experience.

People are coming out of their way to, celebrate you.

They're probably giving you a present.

They might've flown out here.

it's not a paid experience.

there's already enough investment being involved in a wedding,

just going to a wedding, doing all the events around a wedding.

No, give them a good time if you're gonna do it.

Yeah.

I totally agree with that.

so what are your thoughts on the bouquet and garter toss because this is one of

the ones I always ask Instagram followers and this is like the one that comes up all

the time as get rid of it, stop doing it.

It's weird.

It's gross.

So what are your, take on it?

yes to the bouquet, no to the garter.

The garter is when the guy goes literally under her dress.

that is a horror, that's not okay.

I feel like I'm at the wedding

My dad's here, that's so insane, no, please.

That's not.

I don't feel particularly passionate about the bouquet as passionately as I

feel about the garter knot should not be a thing, it's fun, but I hope no one

actually thinks that it means that you're gonna be the one to get married next.

I. Literally have been to so many weddings where the women get

vicious and they like push you.

I'm like, we know we're not actually the next one.

Like it's going to be okay.

I've seen the videos too where they like literally push out of the way

and I'm like, it's not that serious.

Like full on shove her to the ground.

No, not

for me.

Not for me at all.

And then there's the like, you throw the bouquet and then someone catches it.

Or like she hands it to the woman so that she can get proposed to.

That's my list of no's as well.

proposals at the wedding.

Yes, I'm so glad you brought that up because someone shared a confession with

me last week saying at her wedding, the best man during his speech proposed to

his girlfriend, who was also a bridesmaid.

no one knew?

The bride and groom didn't know that was gonna happen?

No one knew.

She said she was mortified.

Security.

Security.

I was like, I need to know more.

I messaged her and I was like, can you tell me more?

And so she, said her husband ended up pulling him away and

being like, this is not okay.

And they didn't understand why.

But then he still came back, put the ring on her finger.

She hugged him and said yes.

In front of everybody.

She's walking around the dance floor showing off her ring.

She's like, I can't even believe this happened.

And she's like, I always watched your crazy wedding stories thinking

it would never happen to me.

And that happened.

Were there any signs that this man was a psychopath prior to?

they said they've been friends with him for a long time.

And I don't know.

doesn't realize, how Weird and rude that is.

No, it's so tacky.

No.

Unless, you know,

the bride is in on it.

And I've seen videos where like the bride is full on team, get proposed

throughout my wedding, like here's the bouquet, turn around, like, yay.

And do you, God bless you.

That's incredible.

right.

Couldn't be me, but incredible nonetheless.

So

that's fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a lot of steps you should take before making sure that's okay.

no surprise it.

Let's not surprise a bride and groom on their wedding day.

Right?

No.

Okay.

So these are just some fun, like pick a side on these wedding drama debates.

These are other like unpopular opinions that people sent me.

so this person said having kids at the reception is a good thing and

they should come and feel welcome.

What's your take on kids at weddings?

I think that just like A declarative sentence, having kids at a wedding is a

good thing, like, by what measure, you if the bride and groom feel like it's

going to be a safe experience for them and whatever, sure, but if they want to,

party and not have to worry about some kid getting trampled on the dance floor,

that's completely up to them, and you should absolutely respect it, It's not

up to you, so, I don't understand why people get so upset about it, it's a big

deal for them, it's the one event where they're allowed to kind of do this, if you

can't be away from your kids, just don't come, it's fine, just RSVP, no, yeah.

I know, that's why I'm like, when people get so upset about it,

I'm like, if you can't go, just say no, wouldn't be offended.

Either way, I'm like, now that I have a toddler, I get it.

If people do not want a toddler, day, night, either for me, or if

we can't get a babysitter, I will say no, because I would not want.

A toddler there.

Like, I get it.

it's just like, when people get so mad about it, I'm like, I

don't understand the philosophy.

that being said, I told you I was engaged once and I almost got married.

were like a couple months out from the wedding when, it was cancelled.

But, having said that, I'm more than okay with child free weddings.

We had, set up child care for the people that were going to come and, babysitters.

And there was a different, they were in a completely

different place with their home.

They would have been with their own food and their own people watching them.

And their parents could have gone back and forth to see whatever.

So, If you're going to have kids at your wedding, I think

that that's a nice way to do it.

I love that.

I've been hearing that more and more.

People have a separate area, a fun room for kids.

or fun things like, yeah.

Padded walls.

Exactly, yeah.

because that's the thing.

It's like the biggest thing I think with kids at wedding is, It's the

parents that aren't watching the kids, or they're at a certain age

where they can get into anything.

Like, I know if I bring my toddler somewhere, she's gonna figure

out a way to try to do something.

there's certain ages, too, where it's like, you have to either be on them the

whole time, or you can't enjoy yourself.

So, I feel like, um, the extra room is great.

Like, we had just, like, our nieces and nephews at our wedding,

which was, like, so great.

seven kids.

but we were provided like coloring stuff.

We had like their own kids table.

Plus we knew them well enough to where like, okay, we know they're

going to be well behaved there.

I think that that's perfectly fair as well.

If you're just like only the children that are related to us can come

and if people make a stink about not being able to bring their kids

because, Oh, why can they come then?

Yeah.

Sucks to suck.

I know, because that's something I hear too.

They're like, oh, but if you say no to my kids and I come and your nieces

and nephews are there I'll be so mad.

It's like, you're gonna be mad that the bride's niece is there versus like a

co worker's son or something like that.

I'm like, that's So different.

The entire drama is like, wild.

They just don't come.

It's fun.

It is so wild.

This person said, White bridesmaid dresses are weird.

bride likes it, I love it.

I'm not judging someone's, like, aesthetic choices in, that sense.

If the bridesmaid dresses are, like, stunning, gorgeous white, as long

as they look good, I don't care.

I don't know if you've watched, like, Selling Sunset, Christine Quinn.

She had, this black ball gown wedding dress.

Oh, I did!

Right?

is it my style?

No, but don't know.

It's 2025.

We've been doing weddings for a long time.

Like, let's, I don't know, let's mix it up.

I love when people do like unique, crazy stuff.

I love when the bridesmaids all wear white dresses along with the bride.

I think it looks pretty.

But I saw this bride that had a dress that turned into a rainbow

she's like unbuttoned it and it turned into this rainbow dress.

And I was like, that is beautiful.

That's stunning.

That's something I never would have thought of.

Yeah.

you go, girl.

Be creative.

You don't have to, shove yourself into this box.

Like, As long as you're getting married at the end of it, that's the end goal.

Just like throw the party you want to throw and invite the

people you want to invite.

Like you're spending a lot of money on this shit.

do whatever you want do you.

Yeah.

Do you black out all the haters?

Pluck out the naysayers, provide

booze, but provide,

provide booze.

Yeah.

Provide some good entertainment.

Good DJ.

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's jump into.

This week's story.

It's a long one.

I have not read it.

Just beginning starts with momster in law.

So it's about to get kind of crazy.

I love monster in law stories.

It's

insane.

I read these and I feel so grateful that I have a great mother in law.

I reason I'm just like, these are insane.

I've been holding my tongue for a long while, but I'm angry all the time and

I needed to get this off my chest.

So who better than to tell you?

Hopefully this will give some content, because I honestly don't know what

else to do about my momster in law.

I got engaged July 2024, and from the moment we announced it, my future

mother in law started bombarding us with questions about the wedding.

She asked when it would be, how many people we were thinking of inviting.

I told her around 250 guests and she immediately said,

no, it should be 500, 500.

Holy cow.

that's the thing, too, is like you find the ones that are so opinionated are not

even giving any money a lot of times.

I would think that would be an obvious, like, you can't say you

can double the wedding if you're not paying for the wedding.

That's insane.

Okay, continue.

Yeah.

No, I agree.

I calmly explained that we only wanted people we were close to, family or not.

I also mentioned it would be a kid free wedding except for nieces and nephews.

There we go.

She lost it and started a fight.

a few weeks later the topic came up again, and I mentioned we were planning

a sober wedding since my fiance is two years sober He's like covering

all the things we just talked about.

I swear

we did not cover

Literally, I don't even put these together because I don't want to read

them ahead of time so did not even My mother in law and future sister in

law laughed and said That was fine.

But my fiance would need to leave the reception because they would be drinking.

Wait, but isn't this his mom and sister?

Why would they want your

fiance?

The groom would be leaving his own reception to drink

elsewhere apart from the

what?

And this is confusing because I'm like, it's the mother in law, you think she'd

be up against the bride, but not the groom because the groom's her son,

I think that she's probably positioning this as oh, he wants to have a

good time and drink So he can't stay at a dry reception all night.

we got to go to the bar or some Insanity like that.

I don't know.

Please.

I can't wait to go.

What?

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

That is crazy.

Okay.

Eventually my fiance and I decided to get married in Las

Vegas to avoid all the drama.

We kept the guest list to immediate family and one friend each because

the venue could only hold 50 people.

We thought this would make things easier.

It didn't.

Oh yeah, someone like that's going to come right in being like, You didn't invite me.

Continue.

There's no winning.

Okay.

Yeah, this is like two weeks before the wedding.

Okay, so they still were going to have this big wedding.

They just did like an elopement, just the two of them.

So two weeks before the wedding, my mother-in-law started talking

about my fiancé's dad's nephew.

I'm like, fiancé's dad's nephew, okay?

I'm like, drawing a tree in my head.

I'm like, where did this go?

I never met this nephew.

In the 12 years I'd known my fiancé, I told her the guest list

was set, and there was no room.

She said that was fine, he could just join us afterwards.

I agreed.

Five days before the wedding, my fiancé got a text from his sister.

Inviting him to dinner.

He asked if I was welcome and she said, no, family only.

That's weird.

His mom chimed in doubling down saying only immediate family.

She cannot come.

Don't you think like a fiancé kind of becomes that?

Okay.

this was a dinner to celebrate my fiancé getting married and I wasn't invited what

Getting married to you and they didn't want you to come.

Okay.

he went while I stayed home and then he went.

See girl, this is why, I already know how I feel.

You can't marry this man.

This is a crazy situation.

you're asking for misery for the rest of your f***ing life.

Yes.

who will go to a party about a wedding that you are the bride

in, that you are not invited to.

He said, chill, bet, this sounds normal to me.

This is how you want to start our union?

This is insane.

you can't do this.

You can't marry this.

man

What?

I am shocked.

Why would he go without you?

That would be a no for me.

That would be like, sorry.

you're choosing your immediate family who, your fiancé new wife,

should be your immediate family.

No.

Marry your sister then.

Marry your mom.

What?

okay, so he went, while I stayed at home, later my mother in law

made a Facebook post congratulating him and tagged me in it, which

this is important later, she says.

The day before we left for Vegas, my mother in law asked me to lunch.

Even though I had so much to do, I agreed.

At lunch, she told me my fiancé's little brother had

invited a friend to the wedding.

I corrected her, saying he asked but we said no.

Okay, so that little brother had already asked them and they said no She replied.

Well, he invited her weeks ago, and I said it was fine.

It's too late to her now

It's not even too late to uninvite you bitch.

Okay, so what do you mean?

It's too late to uninvite her

Like what is this controlling behavior?

I'm already so Angry for this person because I'm like your

fiance is not even on your side.

I'm sweating.

Okay,

this is bad feel like hot

Okay, I was furious but decided to talk to my fiance first when I told

him he immediately texted his mom explaining It was disrespectful to

invite someone without asking us that she needed to tell the friend he

couldn't come This sparked a meltdown.

My future sister in law started calling and yelling at him, but he

stood by me, okay, finally, saying no one else was getting a plus one.

When we arrived in Vegas, my mother in law asked again, Okay, so the wedding in

Vegas is where the mother in law's coming?

Did I?

She's coming to both.

Okay.

They did the wedding in Vegas first because they thought it would placate her.

And they invited only the immediate family from both sides, right?

But they're still having this big wedding.

Okay.

They thought it would shut her up to do the first thing.

To do her own thing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

Because I'm like There's so much happening.

Yeah, you've got me.

Okay.

When we arrived in Vegas, my mother in law asked again if the nephew could come to

the wedding because he was already there.

I reminded her there was no room and my fiancé backed me up.

On wedding day, I went to brunch with girls from both sides of the family.

My mother in law ignored me completely.

Even when I greeted her, I brushed it off and enjoyed the day.

This mother in law hates her.

I would be like, you can't come.

This is terrible.

Like, why would you want to feel like a stranger or unwanted at your own wedding?

She just has the worst energy.

She's she's gonna try and ruin your day.

I would hire security, give them a picture and That would be it.

Yeah, because it's not her right to be at this wedding.

I'd be like you're done.

Sorry.

I don't want you there.

She's a guest.

She's a guest.

Yeah, you are nothing more than a guest who could easily be scratched right off.

at this ceremony, my sisters told me that my fiancé's family had taken up the

front rows on both sides of the pews.

My mother in law refused to move, saying her parents can find another place to sit.

No, so now she's rude to, her family.

this would not be, go well

for me, or, or, like, cause now you're gonna be, like you said, you're

gonna be dealing with this mother in law for the rest of your life.

if it's bad now, imagine if they have kids, or if they buy a house,

you know, any step in there,

I don't understand why anyone would sign up to deal with that forever.

Like, You're asking to be miserable for the rest of your, what man is worth that?

What man is worth having to deal with the devil day, no.

Yeah, I really hope this ends with they cut her off.

Like, they're done with her, I hope.

Fingers crossed.

cause that's the only way this is gonna work, I feel like.

okay.

So she said she had to move.

I had to ask the officiant to step in and remind everyone which side was for the

bride's family and which for the groom's.

This made my mother in law furious.

After the ceremony, during photos, the photographer suggested moving

one of my fiancé's siblings to my side to even things out.

My sister in law loudly said, Hell no, I'm not going over there.

I ignored it.

At the bowling alley reception, my mother in law Who are these animals?

Who

are these beasts?

I don't know, why do they think they're so much better than, her and her family?

Oh, God.

Jesus.

I'm speechless.

This is probably one of the worst mother in law stories I've read.

And I've read a lot.

At the bowling alley reception, my mother in law refused to sign

the guest book, despite me and my husband asking multiple times.

When she finally did, she just wrote congratulations with no warmth, and

she left without saying goodbye.

Like why?

That's the nicest thing she's done thus far.

That's the most pleasant been in this whole story.

Yeah.

The next day, my mom invited us to lunch before she left town.

My mother in law didn't contact us, but took my husband's brothers to

go karting and sightseeing instead.

When my husband asked why we weren't invited, she said, you were busy.

We weren't.

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.

There was this skit, I don't know if you watch SNL.

did you see, oh, who hosted the Timothee Chalamet one?

No, I haven't seen it.

This last weekend?

Okay, you have to watch it, but there's one about that, but it's like

extreme, like the Oedipus Complex.

It's about like Mother's Day and like the sun being like, hey mom.

I don't know,

I'm horrified that I'm going to be looking this up just

immediately after we get off this.

You need to.

It was cringe, but I was like.

It's like way over the top, but it was like some of these

moms, yeah, I could see it.

I find

it, 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.

Yeah.

crazy mother in laws like this, like let things go.

Oops.

I know, did

she come creeping back?

It's over, yeah, right.

They're not that easy to get rid of, I'm

pretty sure.

I wonder how soon she sent me this story after it happened.

So, if this was, like, that day or, like, a week later.

Yeah, we might need a,

Yeah, we might need her to like follow.

Yeah, we need to follow up.

We need like one of those episodes where it's like you tell us

everything that happened since.

Did she really not speak to her word?

because yeah, it could be that like victim mentality of like, fine,

I guess I'll never see you again.

You know, so dramatic.

Yeah.

They show up at the front door.

Let's make up.

But big

romantic gesture.

Yeah.

Come Running back to them.

well that was a crazy story.

really hoping that this, bride woman, got some stronger boundaries away from

this mother in law because if she comes crawling back, you it's going to be worse.

I don't think this woman's not realizing what she's doing wrong.

Yeah.

Yeah.

honestly, this ended best case scenario for me.

Like this is your best chance at peace, ma'am.

So let's just continue praying every night that she sticks to

no contact, and you can live your life peacefully because she sounds.

Absolutely horrible.

But like, is your husband sad about it?

that's not your problem.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm glad the husband I hope he kind of realizes showing up at that

dinner without her was kind of weird.

Because it seems like later on in these stories, he's defending her more.

So I'm like, okay, the way my mom's acting is weird.

Yeah, it was

weird for me to go to a wedding without the bride that I'm marrying.

Yeah, perhaps.

that's

Yeah.

That was weird.

That was weird.

Let's do that.

Jesus.

That was insane.

That was, yeah.

props to you for keeping your boundaries up and I just hope it stays

that way and, husband realizes that.

He needs to back you up first.

Yeah, let us know if, she stays out of your life.

I pray that she does.

Yeah,

yeah, I think I need to do, there's so many stories on here that I, need

follow ups with, so I feel like I need to reach out to some of these people and

be like, a follow up episode and, share what's been going on since, they sent it.

Cause this was, 2024, so we're talking seven months later now.

Hopefully seven months of peace

and quiet.

So much of peace and quiet.

It's like your first seven months being married.

I would imagine you just want to enjoy that.

You do want someone tainting every big life milestone.

Every time you have kids, she's going to make it a problem.

every holiday.

Like, you're literally signing up to never enjoy anything, ever again.

Best case scenario is that she eliminates herself from the situation.

Yeah.

And she can feel like a victim all she wants and you can live your best life.

So

100%. Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

So I like to end this with a weekly confessions game.

So people send their confessions and We can rate them.

Sometimes it's kind of weird rating them because I feel like, I'm like,

oh, your confession wasn't great.

So, we can rate them if we want.

But, um, so people send these ones.

Here we go.

my sister in law got mad she wasn't my maid of honor and then questioned

all of my wedding decisions.

she sounds awful.

no wonder she was not your maid of honor.

And you sound like you have discernment, ma'am.

So,

yeah.

Sounds like she didn't even know you knew why.

You're not allowed to get mad at people for these choices that

they make in their wedding, right?

Like, if she feels that someone, she wanted to have someone be her maid of

honor what she did was her being honest.

Her changing her mind is just doing it to placate you.

Why would you want that?

Let her have whoever she wants beside her.

If you're her sister and you love her, whatever, make sure she has the day

that she wants and it's not about you.

It's literally not about you.

Yeah, totally agree.

oh, this one says told a couple not to marry each other.

was begged by so many people up until the wedding to stop it.

So I don't know what the outcome was.

but I did see one similarly where she said they still got married and

they still regret it or something.

letting it happen?

yeah, she said she like told a couple, yeah.

You have to be okay with like every possible outcome.

You gotta play this every way, I tell her and she is, fuck you, I

never want to speak to you again.

Is this worth me potentially losing my friendship?

are the problems with him big enough or dangerous enough that it's worth

risking her reacting poorly and me losing her and her being like, even

more isolated with this person?

you just have to think that through.

Some, hills are not worth dying on and others are.

You just have to trust your gut.

I know.

I've definitely been a part of a wedding where she Was very unhappy and you

could tell like, bachelorette party.

They were, she was very upset.

Like, I don't want to go through with this.

And we're like giving her support, like, Hey, we're here.

Like, you don't have to do it.

I'm talking the night before the wedding, like after the rehearsal

dinner, crying in the car with us and long story short, they got a divorce.

So It didn't work out.

And, Were there signs?

There were lots of signs.

Lots of signs.

I think you're right.

Like,

literally weeping the night before your wedding.

Yeah.

Not of happiness is

So we could have been like, no, you're not gonna marry him.

we'll beg, But ultimately, it was her decision.

she was more worried about vendors that they already paid and this and that.

And it's just like

Vendors?

That's like a couple emails and you just gotta be, okay, eating, believe

me, I've done it before, eating like tens of thousands of dollars, not great,

but like, that versus, divorces are more expensive, first and foremost.

Yes.

If you, have something worth losing and if you have the, Ability to stop the train.

Stop the fucking train.

Yes.

Yeah.

As quickly

as possible.

Okay, like, don't wait to get so far down the road.

Yeah, did you see the girl who went viral because she was left at the altar?

Like, literally the most terrible, like, humiliating thing, right?

But she turned it into, like, this fabulous party and they documented the

whole thing and I was like, you go girl.

I don't even know, she went viral of, sharing this, amazing video of

herself dancing at the wedding, and, I was like, yeah, you know what?

That's what you do.

You turn up, you have a great party, that's what you gotta do.

I saw

that, and you're 100 percent correct.

She is, like, the strongest.

an inspiration.

She completely turned it around, and, when something that, happens, two

months before, with me, devastating day of, I can't even fucking imagine,

I can't imagine, and to be able to, find some joy in that day, and actually

Realized that, oh, there are a bunch of people here that really love me.

And this is a very sad or scary moment for me.

And I could like isolate myself and, kind of immediately start dwelling in it.

Or I could try and make the best of it with all these people who

adore me and want to see me happy.

And it was incredible to watch.

And she's an inspiration.

Yeah, I love that.

I'm like, I don't know.

how it acted at something like that.

But I'm like, she's definitely an inspiration in aspect.

well, that is all I have planned for today.
