Opie's 341 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: like not holding anything back and I love it. 342 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: Let it all out. 343 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 4: Grandpa chimed in, saying she was just worried, as she 344 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 4: is for anybody who has a mental health problem. So 345 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 4: at this point I screamed at him that none of 346 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 4: them cared when it was my grandmother and the depression 347 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: and mental breakdown they caught. 348 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: I was literally about to bring it up, like you 349 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: don't care, you're an advocate for mental health health. Yeah, 350 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: you caused it to one of the most important people 351 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: in everyone's lives right now. 352 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: Literally, And the only reason that they're bringing up, oh, 353 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: we just care is because Opie's call them out. I 354 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 4: stormed off and the next day went to Grandma's. She 355 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: said it was fine if I exploded that I've been 356 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: holding things for the sake of family peace and it 357 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: wasn't good for me, not mentally nor emotionally. Dad says 358 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: Grandpa brought this upon himself. Mom is furious and said 359 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 4: it wasn't my place to talk like that to her 360 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: dad or to bring up past events. Bro is super young, 361 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 4: so he didn't care, and Sis is very much on 362 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 4: my side with you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Yeah, 363 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 4: I think is it petty? Sure? Justified? Absolutely? 364 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 365 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: Grandpa reached out today to give some half buddied apology 366 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: and asked for one. I blatantly told him I have 367 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 4: nothing to be sorry about and he should keep his 368 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 4: mouth shut about certain topics. Mom is now giving me 369 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 4: the silent treatment, and Dad told me I went too far, 370 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: but understands. I think also the dads probably like, yeah, 371 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 4: you went too far. I totally get them. Well, no, 372 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 4: because he's like, okay, I can't wink well, but. 373 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 3: He's like yeah, yeah. 374 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: But I think he's trying to, you know, smooth things 375 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: out with Opie's mom and try and not get agrees 376 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 4: with op. 377 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: That's what I feel like, Like your grandma's your grandpa 378 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: freakings walks. 379 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: The rest of the family is divided, and my uncle 380 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: actually came to my house to discuss my lack of respect. 381 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: This is what I think. This is one of the 382 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: uncles that ditch grandma for dad because Grandma wasn't in 383 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: the oppressive state. And yeah, uncle is like, I don't 384 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: like this, So am I the a. 385 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 4: Hole for unloading like that and not apologizing. I think 386 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: that you were rolling in a lot of stuff and 387 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: your grandpa was running his mouth. Again, it's it's never 388 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: the best idea to unload in front of a big 389 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: group of people when you could have a conversation one 390 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 4: on one. But I don't think that you're necessarily like 391 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: I think you're justified in your ale is. 392 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 3: Justified pettiness again, this I feel like this story, it's 393 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: just a icky story that maybe you've seen your grandma's like, 394 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: it's okay, it's. 395 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: Okay, we're standing up for your grandma. 396 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and your mom and your aunt decided with your grandma, 397 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: which is weird. 398 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 4: Edit to add thanks for responding. First of all, I 399 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 4: have to clarify that Mom does have a problem when 400 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 4: it comes to the males in her family. She will 401 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 4: justify anything they do and it's terrible, which is probably 402 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: because she has her father, who's you know, acted terribly 403 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: her whole childhood. I think gotten away with it. 404 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: Not to mention it again, but I think it stems 405 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 3: from her mom, who got cheated on and she was 406 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: like letting back, let it back in. 407 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, she was actually getting better with therapy, but due 408 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: to money issues, we can't afford it anymore. So there's that. 409 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 4: I also want to explain the extent to this problem, 410 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: and I'll do it with one single example. Grandpa is 411 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 4: unapologetic about the cheating. He even denies it and has 412 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 4: made up a whole story about him and how he 413 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: and the affair partner met on the street, even if 414 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 4: we all know the truth, and Mom, instead of telling 415 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 4: me the truth, chose to keep this from me until 416 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 4: I was around ten years old and was angry that 417 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 4: Grandma wouldn't come to my birthday. I don't know what happened. 418 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 4: Mom made it seem like they broke up and Grandma 419 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 4: went absolutely nuts for no reason. I asked them to 420 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 4: sleep over at Grandma's something that I still do to 421 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: this day, and I asked her why she wouldn't come 422 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: to my birthdays or any celebration. That's when she told 423 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 4: me the story, and I was furious with everyone except her. 424 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 4: From then on, all of my cousins and siblings know 425 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 4: the truth. It either comes from their parents or myself, 426 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 4: because I'm sick and tired of Grandpa getting away with this. 427 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 4: But you won't get away with not joining us live 428 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: every weekday three PMPSD on YouTube. You just have to 429 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 4: tap our profile. 430 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 3: Just tap it and we won't leave you. 431 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 4: And there is another edit to add information. But do 432 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: you have any final thoughts to the story? 433 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: Fee? 434 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: It seems like this is just like a huge thing 435 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: that stems with this entire family, just. 436 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 4: A lot of family secrets and trying to reckon with them. 437 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: And I think half of the grandpa's kids are like, oh, 438 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 4: we have to respect our elders and we have to 439 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 4: respect our dad, even though he's shown disrespect to everyone 440 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: in the family time and time again. 441 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 3: It's just very gross. And I feel like maybe Mom 442 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 3: might be a little upset at Opee because Grandpa hasn't 443 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 3: been called out. Yeah, we haven't heard anyone call out 444 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: Grandpa just yet, or like anyone. 445 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 4: Scared of me. I think it's also so much generational, 446 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: and I think that you know, Ope's probably like, you 447 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 4: know what, I'm going to call people out if they're 448 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 4: acting badly, and the opie's parents and uncles and aunts 449 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 4: and stuff are like, well, it's he's her dad, so 450 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 4: you know, it doesn't matter if he did. 451 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: Something passes of the past. Yeah, no, he did. Someone 452 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 3: called our grandpa for his crappy behavior in the past 453 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: and his scummy behavior. 454 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. Another edit to add, Yes, the fair partner left 455 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 4: him when he ran out of money. She started going 456 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 4: out with three different guys that I know of, and 457 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 4: convinced them to pay for rent, car insurance, health insurance, clothes, 458 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: and several things from her family. Grandpa only came back 459 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: when he landed a big job. He rented a place 460 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: without anyone knowing, then called her and had her move in. 461 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 4: He left Grandma and his kids moved into the apartment 462 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 4: with a fair partner, and she had to cut contact 463 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: with the other guys. Six years later, Grandpa found out 464 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 4: she was sort of dating someone else, so she was 465 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 4: friging to Karma man while he was working this well 466 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: paying job. She begged for him to stay with her 467 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 4: and gave him her phone so he could be sure 468 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 4: she wasn't doing anything. From then on, she's been nothing 469 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 4: short of a housewife, except for the fact that they're 470 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 4: not married because Grandpa never signed the papers Grandma sent 471 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: and after a certain time, Grandma just didn't care enough. 472 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 3: I feel bad. 473 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 4: I feel so bad for this grandma. But that is 474 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 4: the end of that. Yeah, Unfortunately, that is the. 475 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: End that I taste in my mouth. 476 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 4: I am glad that it would be called out this 477 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: grandpa because he freaking sucks. He's the worst. 478 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 2: My brother's fiance demanded I change my appearance for her wedding, 479 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 2: and I. 480 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: Refuse your put down. Don't let anyone tell you what 481 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: to do. 482 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: It's my appearance, shut up.

I explained to my brother that 592 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: I was upset and uncomfortable and embarrassed about what his 593 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: fiance and his future mother in law had to say 594 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 2: to me. He said that this is their special day 595 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: and to suck it up and move on. From then, 596 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: I've just been seeing red and I went absolutely insane, saying, 597 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: how are you gonna let your soon to be wife 598 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: treat me this way? For context, me and my brother 599 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 2: have always been close growing up, even into adulthood. I 600 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 2: just felt I wasn't valued enough. After I expressed my feelings, 601 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 2: I went home to cool down and didn't speak to 602 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: my brother, his partner, or her mother. I got over, 603 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: I got a handful of phone calls and texts saying 604 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: all saying I was selfish and being petty. I am 605 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: pretty and petty. I then phoned them asking them if 606 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 2: we could all meet up and talk about the situation, 607 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: and they all agreed. We all talked and I explained 608 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: how I felt, saying that I wasn't comfortable changing how 609 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: I looked, as it took me years to get how 610 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: I wanted to look, as growing up I suffered with 611 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: bullying and having severe anxiety about how I look and 612 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: changing my appearance for one day, and that I thought 613 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: it was unreasonable and unfair for her and her mother 614 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: to change how I look. She then got upset and 615 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: started screaming and causing a scene, saying I was being 616 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: selfish and unreasonable and not taking her feelings into consideration 617 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 2: because it's her special day and everyone should bow to 618 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: her knees. The mother then said I don't know the 619 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: stress of planning a wedding and wanting everything to be perfect, 620 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: and I replied that I may not know that, but 621 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: I'm not changing my appearance because I like the way 622 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: I look. 623 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,120 Speaker 4: It's all such a so unbelievably hurtful to be like, oh, 624 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 4: I want everything to be perfect and you're not.

Sounds like we all got into 635 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: a massive argument, and I left feeling more hurt and 636 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 2: angry than when I went. I then texted my brother 637 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 2: and his fiance saying, I'm no longer attending the wedding 638 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: and do not want anything to do with the wedding, 639 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: and I will be taking back all the things I 640 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: put my hard work into.

Before I texted this, 649 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: I turned to my family and friends and my partner 650 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: at the time and my bridesmaids. But they all say 651 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: that it's her special day and I should do what 652 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: they want and bend over backwards to make her happy. 653 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: My parents and partner think my sister in law is 654 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: being unreasonable, but my friends and the bridesmaids are split 655 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: and still fifty to fifty on the situation. Some say 656 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: she is being unreasonable and I should suck it up 657 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: and get on with it for one day, while others 658 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: agree that she overstepped the threshold. And I do love 659 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 2: my sister in law, but she overstepped the boundaries and 660 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: was asking way too much. I have so much guilt 661 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: for not being there for my brother, as me and 662 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: him are so close and I just feel like we're 663 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: we have drifted apart, and I feel awful. So am 664 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: I the a hole for not attending my sister in 665 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: law's wedding If she insists I change my appearance and 666 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: we do. 667 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 4: Have an update? Oh man, I don't know. I think 668 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 4: that there would have been a way where the sister 669 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 4: could have gotten her more in line with the aesthetic 670 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 4: of the wedding if she had asked nicer, like she 671 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 4: could have been like, hey, like not talking like not 672 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: asking her to cover up the tattoos, but saying like, hey, 673 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 4: can we wear this type of dress or can we 674 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 4: do this type style of makeup and stuff. It really 675 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 4: feels like there was a way for everybody to be 676 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 4: happy about this, yeah, and that it just was nowhere 677 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 4: close to executed. No, it's like there are some things 678 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 4: that you can't it's very hard to cover up, like 679 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 4: tattoos and her hair. Yeah. 680 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 2: And then the insult of being like and these are 681 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: all wrong. Yeah, everything about you is.

I have decided 699 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: to have one last conversation with my sister in law 700 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: and my brother. I approached them with a mix of 701 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: emotions and determination and vulnerability I had experienced, hoping that 702 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: my sister in law would understand how much her demands 703 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: affected me before I delve into the crap show that happened. 704 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: Before I went to see them both, I had a 705 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: separate conversation with my brother. He apologized to me, saying 706 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: how deeply sorry he was and he shouldn't have taken 707 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 2: his anger or stress out on me, and that his 708 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: fiance has been putting him through heck about this wedding 709 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: and it being perfect. 710 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 4: At least he's apologizing, Yeah, that's something, taking accountability first step. 711 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: In reality, it shouldn't have to be perfect and there 712 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 2: is no need for us to fight and fall out. 713 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: I explained to him that the way I look is 714 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: really important to me and is a part of my identity, 715 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: and I didn't feel comfortable to change it. He said 716 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: he would have a conversation with his fiance. 717 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 4: I'm glad that he's like. It feels like maybe the 718 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 4: brother was kind of caught up in all of the 719 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 4: wedding stress and wanting it to be you know, quote 720 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 4: unquote perfect first way. 721 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: And he's hearing all this other stuff too, and he 722 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: can't you just please just take your piers down and 723 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: cover up your tatoos. 724 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 4: For me, please, And then he's like, you know what, 725 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't have said that, because. 726 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 2: I know you, says I'm sorry, my man. Okay, on 727 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 2: to me letting up with them. Like I explained to 728 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: my brother, I also explained to them that my appearance 729 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: is who I am and alternating would make me feel 730 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: like a stranger to myself. I pleaded with them for 731 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 2: her to see me as her future sister in law 732 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: and not just a potential disruption to her perfect wedding vision. 733 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: Sister in law, however, did not like the idea and 734 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 2: was unmoved, and even more doubled down, insisting that it's 735 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: her wedding day and it's so important to her that 736 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: I should be able to make this small sacrifice for 737 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 2: her happiness. She accused me of being selfish and disrespectful, 738 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: saying that I don't really care about her and I 739 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: should just do as she asked. The conversation escalated into 740 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: a heated argument. The sister in law accused me of 741 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 2: always seeking attention and making everything about myself. I countered 742 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: that she was being unreasonable and controlling. In a fit 743 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 2: of frustration, I told her that if she couldn't accept 744 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: me as I am, I wouldn't be attending the wedding 745 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 2: at all. I stormed out, feeling a mix of anger 746 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: and heartbreak. Although I was still in the area, I 747 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: could hear her and my brother arguing and shouting. He 748 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: then said that he no longer wants a wedding and 749 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: to be with someone who is so controlling and not 750 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 2: putting his family's interests and feelings first in this situation, 751 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 2: and how he doesn't understand how and how she doesn't 752 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: understand how hurt I am, and he wouldn't let anyone 753 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: get between him and his family. 754 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 4: Wow, he what a switch up.

Yeah, 762 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 4: it's like they don't like each other. 763 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 2: Something needs to be done here.

I 829 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 4: don't normally do cakes anymore for people outside of family 830 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 4: and friends, as I'm currently pregnant, have a one year old, 831 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 4: and I'm currently pursuing another master's degree in education administration 832 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 4: so I can be a school principal. Wow, because teaching 833 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 4: is a dead end without an admin license. Unfortunately, the 834 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 4: administrators are where all the money's at in America. At 835 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 4: the time when she asked, I was also teaching full 836 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 4: time and finishing up a different master's program. So, yeah, 837 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 4: you totally have so much free time that you can 838 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 4: make this cake with. 839 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't you just just. 840 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 4: Throw on like another cake?

What do you the King 842 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: of Space? 843 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,959 Speaker 4: By the way, this comes from Cheese and Cake eighty 844 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 4: eight on the Okay Storytime suburned it, So I agreed 845 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 4: to make this cake over a year ago, I told 846 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 4: Mary when she offered a pay that I would do 847 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 4: it for free as my wedding gift to her. I 848 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 4: directly said wedding gift. She accepted, and we started planning 849 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 4: the design. Mary wanted a four tier cake, with each 850 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 4: tier a different flavor, white chocolate, yellow, and lemon, and 851 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 4: several sugar flowers and fonded decorations, as well as three 852 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 4: different flavored butter creams. It was a lot, but since 853 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 4: she's having an August wedding, I had time because school 854 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 4: would be out for summer and I'm actually taking a 855 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 4: year off since finding out I was pregnant a few 856 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 4: months ago. No, I was going to derail us to 857 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 4: talk about cake flavors. I can't do it though. 858 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: I'm just a lot of how I'm doing it. How 859 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: do we have vanilla and yellow? Aren't those the same flavors? 860 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 2: What is yellow cake her flavored? Is that just cake flavored? 861 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 4: That is a great question. Like there's white, chocolate, yellow, 862 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 4: and lemon. 863 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense to me. Two of those 864 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 2: weren't flavors, Yeah, two just colors. Those just colors, Okay. 865 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 4: Saturday, I went to Mary's bachelorette party. The party itself 866 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 4: was fine, nothing remarkable happened. I couldn't drink, but everyone 867 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 4: had fun. One of Mary's bridesmaids asked what we were 868 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 4: all getting her for her wedding. I said I was 869 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 4: making the cake for free. The bridesmaid and other girls 870 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 4: there said that was a gift because cake cakes are 871 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 4: expensive and they wished they had gotten one for free. 872 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 4: That's it. I had heard nothing else about it until today. 873 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 4: Mary texted me and asked why I wasn't getting her 874 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 4: wedding gift. And there we have it. Now I understand 875 00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 4: the title that is so wedding cakes are very very expensive. 876 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 2: We didn't need that. 877 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 4: Wedding cakes are very expensive. And for her to be like, 878 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 4: you're not getting me a gift also just weird, just 879 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 4: weird in general, even if like someone wasn't getting you 880 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 4: a gift, to be like you're not getting me a gift, 881 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 4: that's so rude of you. 882 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, what is this an eleven year old's 883 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 2: birthday party? 884 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 4: Very strange? 885 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 2: What come on? 886 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 4: I told her I was, and that it was the 887 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 4: cake and reminded her that the cake was free. She 888 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 4: said that wasn't a gift, and that's a favor. I 889 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 4: told her it's a gift, and that she can't tell 890 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 4: me what I can gift her. I then asked why 891 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 4: she was mentioning it, and she said the bridesmaid I 892 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 4: spoke to Saturday. I told her that she was so 893 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 4: lucky to get a free cake, which you are so 894 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 4: literally everyone else realizes how lucky Mary is except for Mary. 895 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like free cake. 896 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, killing who that I want a gift sports call. 897 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 4: She agreed, but then was upset when the bridesmaid said 898 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 4: that's a good gift. I asked her if her own 899 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 4: bridesmaid thinks it's a good gift, what's the problem. And 900 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 4: she said it's not up to the bridesmaid to tell 901 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 4: her what her gifts are. I told her, this is 902 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 4: her gift. She said that a gift needs to be 903 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 4: something she could use in her marriage, not just the 904 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 4: cake at the wedding. 905 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 2: I'm just really, I'm I'm honing in on the like 906 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 2: the bridesmaids don't get to choose what gifts they are. 907 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 2: That's not getting a gift. That's like making people run 908 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 2: errands for you. 909 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 4: Literally, And I mean, there is a wedding registry, but 910 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 4: the cake is for your wedding. The cake is for 911 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 4: your wedding. Yeah, she's presumably paying for all of the ingredients. 912 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 2: Four tiered wedding cake, four tiers. 913 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,760 Speaker 4: She's paying for all the ingredients. 914 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 2: And she's doing all the time dollars. 915 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, that's a huge deal. I told her, with 916 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 4: me going to school and not working right now, this 917 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 4: is a major expense that I'm taking on by doing 918 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 4: it for free. And she said that wasn't her problem 919 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 4: and that a real friend would do both. Hmmm, I guess, 920 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 4: so he's not a real friend, then, I guess. I 921 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 4: guess we've established that you guys aren't friends. 922 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,399 Speaker 2: That's the response right there. 923 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 4: Yeah. I responded with, fine, I'll get back to you, 924 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 4: and she thanked me for understanding. Damn. About thirty minutes later, 925 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 4: I sent her a bill for her cake. The bill 926 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 4: was for seven hundred dollars, with a deposit of three 927 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars due by this Friday. 928 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 2: Dang, and it was all the money. 929 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 4: Oh, Pi's like, you know what, I know how much 930 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 4: I'm worth. I know my time is worth money and 931 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 4: the rest. Twenty four hours before the events start time. 932 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 4: She asked me what that was for, and I told 933 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,959 Speaker 4: her it's not since it's not a gift, she needs 934 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 4: to pay for it. She said she couldn't afford it, 935 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 4: and I told her I didn't care, and this was 936 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 4: what business looks like. 937 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 2: OOO. 938 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 4: I did promise to get her a gift off her 939 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 4: registry though she told me no, cake is worth seven 940 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 4: hundred dollars. But in the bill breakdown, I pointed out 941 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 4: where it was going, from ingredients to transportation. Her venue 942 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 4: is forty five minutes away, additional labor. My husband helps 943 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 4: me deliver cake, so he's getting paid to last minute 944 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 4: booking time and the size of the cake on top 945 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 4: of the intricate decorations she wants. If she thinks that's 946 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 4: that seven hundred dollars is too expensive, then she can 947 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 4: go buy her own cake. She doesn't have to buy 948 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 4: it from op. 949 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: Why don't you make your own cake then figure it out? 950 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 4: Oh but you can't. You literally, this is so frustrating, 951 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 4: like people just taking advantage of their friends and their 952 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 4: friend's time because they think, oh, well, you're my friend, 953 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 4: so you owe me this favor. It's like, no, i'm 954 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 4: your friend, but also my time is valuable and you 955 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 4: don't get a just demand whatever you want She said 956 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 4: she shouldn't be charged for anything since I promised to 957 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 4: do it for free and it's too late to find 958 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 4: another baker. I said, that sounds an awful like, that 959 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 4: sounds an awful lot like not my problem, snaps, snaps, 960 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 4: because it isn't. She then asked if I could just 961 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,320 Speaker 4: do the cake for free and forget the gifts. Oh, 962 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 4: now we're noubbling back because you realize how expensive it is. 963 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny. I realized a cake was seven hundred dollars. 964 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 2: That's a good gif. 965 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 4: You can give me that. But I said no, this 966 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 4: is the new deal. And I have not responded to 967 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 4: her texts since she and her fiance were venting in 968 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 4: a group message with the wedding party that I'm not in. 969 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 4: One of the bride'smaids, who was a mutual friend, asked 970 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 4: me what happened after telling me what was being said 971 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 4: in the group text, and I sent her the messages 972 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 4: of our exchange. And now apparently the bridal party is divided. Ooh, 973 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 4: there's some discord in the group. 974 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 2: You've sown discord in the bridal party. 975 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 4: Some are saying I should go back and do the 976 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 4: cake for free, like I originally promised, while others are 977 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 4: telling Mary she was wrong and apparently it's become a 978 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 4: huge ordeal. 979 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: In what universe? Are people telling you you need to 980 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 2: actually do the free cake thing. You've made a mistake. No, 981 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 2: she needs to apologize, She needs to grobble and just 982 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 2: be like, Okay, look, I didn't realize exactly what level 983 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 2: of sort of gift slash favor you were doing. 984 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was totally my I'm so sorry. 985 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 2: I'll never do that again. 986 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you give her an extra hundred dollars. 987 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 4: Her fiance is now mad at both of us for 988 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,399 Speaker 4: being petty and ridiculous. My husband is team Mary can 989 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 4: suck an egg and doesn't think I should do the 990 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 4: cake or get the gift, but he told me to 991 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 4: remember this could cost me a friendship, but he'd support 992 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 4: me either way. But he thinks I should stand my 993 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 4: ground in this and not let Mary push me around. However, 994 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 4: my husband also doesn't really like Mary for unrelated reasons, 995 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 4: so he may be biased. Am I the ale for 996 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 4: charging my friend for the cake and refusing to do 997 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,479 Speaker 4: it for free after she got mad at me? And 998 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 4: edit to add burner account because I'm pretty sure Mary 999 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 4: has a reddit for wedding subs and there is an update. 1000 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, my official verdict on this would be not 1001 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 2: the ale. Not the ale as long as you have 1002 00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 2: not received a heartfelt, grallity apology from Mary. Yeah, and 1003 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 2: then it'd be like all right, okay, and then still 1004 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 2: maybe charge one hundred body yeah, and then get her, 1005 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 2: you know, a cheap thing off her for gift. 1006 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 4: Registry her like a bowl, just one Ikia bowl. 1007 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1008 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 4: No, I think, yeah, I think if she apologized heart felt, 1009 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 4: it'd be different. But as of right now, you are 1010 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 4: not the able at all, and you don't know or 1011 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 4: something that she's not grateful for. 1012 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. And it sounds like she weaponized the bridal party, 1013 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 2: is what It sounds like she kind of she it's 1014 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 2: not found out. 1015 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 4: This is what happened. 1016 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 2: That's how they found out. They found out because she 1017 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 2: was like, oh pe tacking my cake away. 1018 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. So she's already not only has she not apologized, 1019 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 4: but she's actively like pitting people onto op. 1020 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1021 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 4: But there is an update. I read as many comments 1022 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 4: as I could, tbh, I did not expect the amount 1023 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 4: of responses I got and responded to who I could. 1024 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 4: This post was originally going to be answering as many 1025 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 4: repeat questions as I could, but this morning, mutual friend 1026 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 4: bride'smaid I'll call Pam, messaged me today to give me 1027 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 4: an update. Mary and her fiance I'll call Frank are 1028 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 4: currently not on speaking terms because they got into an 1029 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 4: argument last night. It wasn't directly because of the cake, 1030 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 4: but what the cake debacle revealed to Frank Apparently Mary 1031 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 4: has been spending a lot of his money on the wedding. Now, 1032 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,799 Speaker 4: we all kind of already knew that Mary told us 1033 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 4: Frank and his family would be footing the bill. He's 1034 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,320 Speaker 4: an engineer and his family has a lot of money. 1035 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 4: I'm not exactly sure what their family wealth is from, 1036 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 4: but it was enough to pay out of pocket for 1037 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 4: him and his siblings to go to expensive universities debt free. 1038 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 4: That's a pretty good deal. What we didn't know is 1039 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 4: that they've been arguing about the finances this entire time. 1040 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 4: Uh oh, and my cake was the last straw for Frank. Oh. 1041 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 4: Mary's budget for the wedding was thirty thousand dollars, and 1042 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 4: she's apparently spent almost double that on intricate flowers, her 1043 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 4: wedding dress, decorations, engagement photos, catering, open bar entertainment, and 1044 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 4: flying her family in and paying for their accommodations. Yeah, 1045 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,280 Speaker 4: just a sixty thousand dollars wedding. 1046 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 2: Just a good sixty k on sixty k. 1047 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 4: That's crazy. Yeah, oh my god. 1048 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 2: Never understand it. I never will. I never understand spending 1049 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 2: even five figures on a wedding. Like I'm gonna get married, 1050 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 2: come to the park. It costs you zero dollars and 1051 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 2: we're all gonna hang out. 1052 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 4: We're just gonna hang out and wander around the park 1053 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 4: and also married. 1054 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,760 Speaker 2: I've got a preacher there. We're getting a we're getting 1055 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 2: married at the park. 1056 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 4: Form a line. Anyone else, Barbara get married. I want 1057 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 4: to have a backyard barbecue wedding. Yeah, so that's and 1058 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 4: that costs the cost of food. Well, I think my plan, 1059 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 4: which some of you have heard, I want to have 1060 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 4: it in like maybe my future backyard and put the 1061 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 4: money into like fixing up the backyard that you went 1062 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 4: into a wedding. 1063 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 2: Oh so it's like a breaking in the house slash. 1064 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,280 Speaker 2: I like how we're now talking about our weddings instead 1065 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,479 Speaker 2: of all right. 1066 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 4: Right, ope's wedding Mary, Mary's clearly trying to take advantage 1067 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 4: of everyone in her life. And maybe it's not the 1068 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 4: best friend. Maybe this is not the type of friend, like, 1069 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 4: maybe this is the revealing situation where you realize that 1070 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 4: Mary is just not a good friend, not. 1071 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 2: A friend at all. Didn't sound like a friend to me. 1072 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 4: The venue alone took a good chunk of their money 1073 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 4: because of the size and location an hour away from 1074 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 4: where we all live. It's a large house, maybe considered 1075 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 4: a mansion, I can't remember. With several acres of land, horses, 1076 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 4: a lake, and a field for wedding photos. 1077 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 2: That's a mansion, dude, I can tell you that, right. 1078 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 2: I don't really remember if it was a mansion. It 1079 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 2: just had a lake in a field and a question 1080 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,760 Speaker 2: in the scenario. 1081 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 4: Wild horses roaming. The entire wedding party is supposedly staying 1082 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 4: there for a few days leading up to the wedding. 1083 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 4: I've not seen it in person. Again, I'm not in 1084 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 4: the wedding party and never was, but the photos online 1085 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 4: make it obvious why it's so expensive. That's crazy that 1086 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 4: Opie's not even in the wedding party, Like, is doing 1087 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 4: all of this this huge favor for Opie He's not 1088 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 4: in the wedding party, and Mary's still sorry. I'm doing 1089 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 4: this huge favor for Mary, and Mary still expects a gift. 1090 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 4: It's not even in the wedding party. That's crazy crazy. 1091 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 4: I had no idea they had spent that much, and 1092 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 4: neither did anyone in the wedding party. As far as 1093 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 4: we all knew. The most expensive thing Mary had brought 1094 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 4: had bought was her wedding dress, to the tune of 1095 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 4: five thousand dollars. Wow. I only know because I went 1096 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 4: with her to try some on with some other friends 1097 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 4: and bridesmaids. Pam's fiance is one of Frank's groomsmen, and 1098 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 4: Frank's been venting through the groomsmen and texts about how 1099 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 4: much this is costing, and he's not sure he wants 1100 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 4: to do this anymore. 1101 00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 2: Whoa, uh oh oh No. 1102 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 4: However, he feels compelled to because the money has been 1103 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 4: spent and is non refundable. But he said he didn't 1104 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 4: know Mary would be this way about a wedding because 1105 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 4: she typically sticks to budgets, which is true. He needs 1106 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 4: to go have more conversations with Mary and less to 1107 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 4: his friends. Yea, he needs to stop complaining about his 1108 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 4: wife and urged yeah, talking to Rich be like, hey, 1109 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,320 Speaker 4: we don't have the money, like this is the amount 1110 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 4: of money that we have, we can't go over. Literally, 1111 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 4: everyone is surprised by how much she is supposedly spending, 1112 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 4: including my husband and me. Mary is the person who 1113 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 4: gets everything off brand at the store to save a dollar, 1114 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 4: even when she doesn't really need to. From what Pam 1115 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,759 Speaker 4: told me, Mary asked him to just pay me so 1116 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,319 Speaker 4: she could have the cake, and he said no, not 1117 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 4: because he couldn't afford it, because he was tired of 1118 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,920 Speaker 4: spending money on just one day. He told her to 1119 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 4: figure it out herself. 1120 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 2: You want that cake, figure it out, make it your shelf, 1121 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:52,879 Speaker 2: figure it out. 1122 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 4: So nobody knows what is going on anymore, and if 1123 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 4: there will even be a wedding. No one has reached 1124 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 4: out to me about making the cake either, and my husband, 1125 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 4: for those wondering, is still team Mary. Can suck an 1126 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 4: egg before anyone asks. No, Mary did not grow up poor. 1127 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 4: She was very much middle class like I was, and 1128 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 4: she's never been broke or anything. She's also never seen 1129 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 4: like she wanted overly expensive stuff. She drives a ten 1130 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 4: year old to Dan that despite Frank saying she needs 1131 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 4: a new car she won't get rid of because it 1132 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 4: runs fine and my dad taught me to drive my 1133 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 4: cars into the ground. So this is like totally off 1134 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 4: brand for Mary. She's it seems like she's pretty frugal 1135 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 4: except for this sixty thousand dollars wedding. 1136 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 2: Want the one day I was just so, I want 1137 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:36,720 Speaker 2: my one. 1138 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 4: Day, want my one day to be day to be 1139 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 4: sixty thousand dollars worth of day. Yeah, so believe me 1140 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 4: when I say it really is out of character for 1141 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 4: her to be this nonchalant about money. I'm not sure 1142 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 4: if I'll have another update. If I do, it'll be 1143 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 4: after the wedding if there is one. And edit, I 1144 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 4: know a lot of people are saying things about Mary 1145 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,879 Speaker 4: just using Frank for his money, But at the same time, 1146 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 4: I want to remember that Pam only gave me rank 1147 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 4: side via what he's been telling the groomsman. I have 1148 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 4: no idea what part he played and if this is 1149 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 4: really if this really actually bothered him up to this point, 1150 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 4: or if he's ever mentioned the amount she's been spending 1151 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 4: to her. It's now six pm and I've not spoken 1152 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 4: to or heard from Mary since yesterday. After giving her 1153 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,720 Speaker 4: the quote, So I don't have any more to add 1154 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 4: other than my perspective. It really does sound out of 1155 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,720 Speaker 4: character for Mary to be doing this, But I remember 1156 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 4: when I got married that my husband said he wanted 1157 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 4: me to have what made me happy for our wedding. 1158 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 4: If he's been telling her what my husband told me 1159 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 4: and still giving her money, then he's definitely not an 1160 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 4: innocent party in my opinion. And there is an update. 1161 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 2: Let's dig Let's dig into this update. 1162 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 4: Long story short, the villain in this situation wasn't Mary 1163 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,320 Speaker 4: plot twist, Oh, it was Frank. It was Frank Frank 1164 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 4: along and no they did not get married. If you 1165 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 4: want to read the first updates, there are only other 1166 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 4: to post in my profile, and this update is all 1167 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 4: the information I've gathered from bridesmaid Pam and her fiance, 1168 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 4: so bear with me. Most of this is what Mary 1169 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 4: has told Pam, who then related to me. I love 1170 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 4: that opiaza a woman on the inside. 1171 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 2: She's got the inside track. 1172 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 4: Anyway. I've mentioned before that Mary was and is a 1173 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 4: frugal person. That's why we all thought the gift and 1174 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 4: cake thing was weird, as well as her spending a 1175 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 4: bunch of money for the wedding. It turns out that 1176 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 4: Mary has actually been trying to save money despite doubling 1177 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 4: their budget. Apparently, Frank's family always throws extravagant celebrations and parties. 1178 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 4: This includes birthdays, holidays, graduations, and weddings, so Frank had 1179 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 4: been emphasizing to Mary that this wedding was supposed to 1180 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 4: be huge because that's just how his family is. I'm 1181 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 4: guessing it's a way to flaunt success, but that's just 1182 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 4: a guess. I don't actually know the real reason. But 1183 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 4: Frank has been hands off the entire time. I'm not 1184 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 4: surprised my own husband only cared with the food cake 1185 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 4: flavor and that the colors weren't pink. But Frank had 1186 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 4: been telling Mary to save money since that's what she's 1187 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 4: good at, that's what she's good at, and that he 1188 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 4: didn't want to spend a bunch of money on one day. 1189 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 4: So Mary picked out things that were cheaper. But we're 1190 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,879 Speaker 4: not good enough for Frank, Like that mansion slash large 1191 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 4: house where everyone would be staying. Yeah, Frank's idea, Hey, 1192 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 4: you gotta do that for Frank. Gotta do it for Frank. Frank, 1193 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 4: he needs his mansion Mary apparently wanted to do a 1194 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 4: hotel that hosted weddings because her family could stay there 1195 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 4: for less money and the hotel was just cheaper to 1196 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 4: host a wedding versus a literal mansion with horses. He 1197 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 4: would do this with everything and veto things like her 1198 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 4: choices of decorations and vendors because they weren't big enough 1199 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 4: or I'm guessing extravagant. Damn Okay. So it seems like 1200 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 4: Frank is doing kind of two things. He's saying, Oh, 1201 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 4: I want you to budget for the wedding, and she's like, okay, 1202 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 4: here's a suggestion. He's like, no, that's so late, that's ugly, 1203 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 4: that's not good enough. 1204 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 2: I told you to budget for the wedding. Don't make 1205 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 2: us look pulled. 1206 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, He's like, I want a mansion, but also a 1207 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 4: budget mansion. 1208 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 2: On a budget. Sell did you misspell horse garden? Because 1209 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 2: that's what I want at the mansion that we have 1210 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 2: a wedding at belt. 1211 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 4: And says Frank and his family can't have it both ways. 1212 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 4: It's either extravagant or affordable. It seems like Frank just 1213 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,760 Speaker 4: doesn't because he's wealthy or grew up wealthy doesn't really 1214 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,440 Speaker 4: understand the value of money. It's like, oh, I want 1215 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 4: you to budget, but also doesn't understand that these things 1216 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 4: that he wants are very expensive. 1217 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,800 Speaker 2: He's he's a he's two faced. Two Francs inside of Frank. 1218 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 4: There are just a little Frank. 1219 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 2: One is fighting to not spend money and the other 1220 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 2: one wants to spend all of his money. 1221 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 4: He even told her how big her bouquet to be 1222 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 4: and that her dress needed to have a lot of bling. 1223 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 4: So basically, Mary has been trying to stick to the budget, 1224 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 4: but what was in the budget didn't match Frank's taste 1225 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,879 Speaker 4: or expectations. So when I said she had to pay 1226 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 4: for the cake, Frank accused Mary of not saving the 1227 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 4: money despite her being so money conscious. And Mary wasn't 1228 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 4: the one who had the problem with the cake, it 1229 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 4: was Frank. I guess they both knew the cake was free, 1230 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 4: but Frank didn't know I was making it as a gift. 1231 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 4: Mary explained that I was, and he said that didn't 1232 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 4: count and to ask me about it? 1233 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 2: What Frank, Frankie, shut up, Frankie, how to shut your mouth? 1234 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 4: He said it didn't count because friends doing friends for 1235 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 4: friends doing favors for an event like a wedding isn't 1236 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 4: a gift on some level, she must have agreed, because 1237 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 4: she didn't mention Frank being the one with the problem 1238 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 4: at all in the messages. But whatever. Anyway, the cake 1239 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 4: was what Mary was really looking forward to because it 1240 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 4: was the only thing she felt she had one hundred 1241 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 4: percent saying regarding the wedding, and when I charged her 1242 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 4: for it, Frank was upset that Mary was not saving 1243 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 4: the money like he was expecting. This resulted in a 1244 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 4: fight where they ended up not on speaking terms. When 1245 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 4: Frank was complaining to Pam's fiance and the rest of 1246 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 4: the groomsmen, it was in text, and according to Pam, 1247 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 4: Mary found them and left Frank for making her seem 1248 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 4: like a greedy bee to everyone and when she was 1249 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 4: only getting things Frank wanted without Frank's help. Yeah, that's 1250 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 4: really frustrating, I think, regardless of the money issue, to 1251 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 4: have someone who like, have a partner who doesn't want 1252 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 4: to help you at all with planning. Yeah, but also 1253 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 4: is so many little like nitpicky. 1254 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Frank is the bride woods in this situation. 1255 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 4: He is, and he doesn't want to help anyone. 1256 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,919 Speaker 2: He's the groom gantua. 1257 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 4: I was trying to think of another one, but I couldn't, 1258 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 4: and that if it were up to her, they wouldn't 1259 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 4: have most of the expensive things she bought for the wedding. 1260 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 4: The only contact I've had for Mary was an apology 1261 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 4: text message when I told her it was okay and 1262 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 4: we were still friends. She didn't answer. In fact, she 1263 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 4: hasn't answered anyone other than to tell the wedding party 1264 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 4: that the wedding was off wow, apologize for the inconvenience. 1265 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 4: And since then, oh, this is what Mary has done, 1266 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 4: and since then she's been quiet. She did post on 1267 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 4: her social media a long apology for canceling, she said, postponed, 1268 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 4: but I noticed her relationship status was gone. But the 1269 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 4: location check in is in the hometown where her parents live, 1270 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 4: not where we live, So I think she went back 1271 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 4: to her parents' house after calling the wedding off. But 1272 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 4: that's all I know, and I heard its secondhand from Pam. 1273 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,439 Speaker 4: But according to Pam, Frank is upset Mary left because 1274 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 4: all his money is tied up in vendors that he 1275 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 4: can't get back, and he's been trying to plead his 1276 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 4: case with the groomsman but only his brother is on 1277 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 4: his side. Pam's fiance and the other groomsmen have stopped 1278 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 4: talking to him. Frank is losing all of his friends 1279 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 4: because he sucks. 1280 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 2: Frank has lost all support. 1281 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 4: But you know what, we would never want to lose 1282 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 4: you joining us live every weekday through PMPST on YouTube. 1283 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 4: Just tap her profile and there is a li litle 1284 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 4: bit left to the story. But what are our final 1285 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 4: wrapping up thoughts? 1286 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 2: You know? 1287 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 5: I feel like like a lot of the the blame 1288 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,880 Speaker 5: is now immediately shifted onto Frank, which is fair, but 1289 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 5: I feel like Mary is not blameless in this. 1290 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 4: I don't think Mary is blameless, especially after I mean 1291 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 4: like she did text Op about that regardless of Frank's 1292 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 4: you know. 1293 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 2: Mary was on team Frank. Yeah, Mary was pro Frank. 1294 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 4: I think, regardless Frank's part in this, you know, and 1295 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 4: maybe in egging her on to go and tell Ope 1296 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 4: that the gift wasn't a good enough gift, Mary still 1297 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 4: play it was an act of participant in it, and 1298 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 4: I think it's good that she apologized. Yeah, she's not 1299 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 4: completely blameless, It's it definitely seems like Frank is way 1300 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 4: more of a problem. 1301 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 2: But if Mary apologe by being like, no, it's. 1302 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 4: The wedding's off, but you can still make that cake 1303 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 4: for free. We can eat it, you can cry, We'll 1304 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 4: eat that cake together. Yeah, a man? What is switchero? 1305 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 2: Frank? Frank was Bridezilla the whole time, but all along. 1306 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 4: Scooby Doo mask comes off. It was a it was 1307 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 4: frayed along. Also there's more. I heard Charlotte asking why 1308 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 4: Mary wasn't paying for the wedding too. I can't answer that, 1309 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 4: but Mary works as an s as STNA and doesn't 1310 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 4: make a lot. Her bachelor's was in psychology and she 1311 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 4: never went on to get her doctorates, so getting employed 1312 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 4: in her field isn't very easy. Bless you. I also 1313 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 4: don't know if they're still together.

Wow. 1352 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 2: We were devastated. It put me into a dark place 1353 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 2: which I didn't think I could get out of, and 1354 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 2: we almost called off our wedding, but I pushed through 1355 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 2: and tried to look forward to our wedding day a 1356 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 2: lot of strength there. I had asked my husband's sisters 1357 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: to be two of my bridesmaids as we had become 1358 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 2: close since my hubby and I started dating, as well 1359 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 2: as two of my cousins. All four of them said 1360 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: yes with excitement. I also told them I planned on 1361 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 2: paying for us all to get our hair done on 1362 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 2: the morning of the wedding at my hairdressers, and then 1363 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 2: we can all get ready together in the hotel room 1364 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 2: I had booked at the location of our wedding. 1365 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 4: Seems like a nice deal. 1366 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like just taking care of these four ladies. 1367 01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 2: They all agreed and we're all excited. A month before 1368 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 2: the wedding, I had to pay the salon, so I 1369 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 2: messaged them on the Bridle WhatsApp group to make sure 1370 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 2: they could all make it still as I had to pay, 1371 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 2: and they all said yes. So I went and paid 1372 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 2: two hundred plus is that pounds or euros pounds? Two 1373 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 2: hundred plus pounds? So I went and paid two hundred 1374 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 2: plus pounds for all of us to have our hair 1375 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 2: done and told the girls to look at styles they wanted. 1376 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 2: I didn't care what they chose or if it looked 1377 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 2: better than mine. I don't like being the center of attention, 1378 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,760 Speaker 2: so I didn't care if one of them upstaged me. Anyways, 1379 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 2: fast forward to ten days before my wedding, I sent 1380 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,440 Speaker 2: a message to the WhatsApp group about how excited I 1381 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 2: was for the morning of having our hair done and 1382 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 2: getting ready and if they had all decided on a hairstyle, 1383 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 2: and then several things happened. 1384 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 4: Oh, I hope he was being so good about being like, hey, 1385 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,360 Speaker 4: you know, like, are we ready? Are you guys on 1386 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 4: the same page? 1387 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 2: Can't wait ten days? 1388 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 4: Hey? Why did several things have to happen. 1389 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 2: Let's see what they were first. My hubby sisters said 1390 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 2: they were planning on getting their hair done and would 1391 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 2: be getting ready together at one of their houses, so 1392 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 2: they wouldn't be coming to the salon or getting to 1393 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 2: the hotel until just before the wedding. One of my 1394 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 2: cousins said she wouldn't be able to make it because 1395 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 2: her car had broken down. I asked her if her 1396 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 2: dad could bring her and she still lived at home, 1397 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 2: and she gave me some excuse which I can't remember, 1398 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,120 Speaker 2: and then suggested she stay at my flat the night before, 1399 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 2: as hubby was staying at his dad's and we can 1400 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 2: have a girl's night. And her response to that was, 1401 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 2: I don't sleep well at other people's, so I'd rather 1402 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 2: stay at home and do my hair and makeup and 1403 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 2: look good for your wedding. I didn't respond after. 1404 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 4: This, wait, so he said, what was the like you 1405 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 4: can say? It was like, yeah, come, you can come 1406 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 4: stay at my place day before. She's like, I wouldn't 1407 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 4: sleep very well. I mean, that's kind of understandable. I 1408 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:21,280 Speaker 4: don't always sleep well, you know, I had to. I was, 1409 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 4: I've I think I've lost the ability to sleep over 1410 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 4: at my parents' house because I was I was house 1411 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 4: sitting and I was I stayed over last night and 1412 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,040 Speaker 4: I just felt like I just didn't get any sleep. 1413 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 4: But also that might have been because I'm becoming else. Yeah. 1414 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 2: I was about to say, you are also sick. You 1415 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 2: did just get sick. Both could have been. Maybe it's both, 1416 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 2: who knows. 1417 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 4: Maybe it's maybe Lene, Maybe it's a bit of both. 1418 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, my auntie, Oh, this is bullet point number two. 1419 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,920 Speaker 2: My auntie, the mother of my own my other cousin, 1420 01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 2: messaged me to say my cousin won't be up in 1421 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 2: time to get to the salon. They lived over two 1422 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 2: hours from us in the appointment was booked for nine 1423 01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 2: am when the salon opened, so she will just do 1424 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 2: her hair when she gets up and make up on 1425 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,040 Speaker 2: the journey to the venue. I asked, can't they come 1426 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 2: down the night before like the rest of the family 1427 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 2: who lives hours away, But I was told no because 1428 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 2: my cousin was going out with her friends to a 1429 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 2: concert the night before my wedding. To this, I just 1430 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 2: said fine. So on the day of my wedding, I 1431 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 2: was the only one that got my hair done at 1432 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 2: the salon. When I told my hairdresser it was just 1433 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 2: going to be me. The morning of my wedding, she 1434 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 2: felt terrible for me. She gave me a refund for 1435 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 2: my bridesmaids and for the champagne they would have brided 1436 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 2: at the bridesmaids attended. 1437 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 4: I mean, at least you got a pity refund. But 1438 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 4: that's so frustrating when everyone agreed. Honestly, you should have 1439 01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 4: made them all pay for it. You should have been like, hey, 1440 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 4: you guys agreed. Oh wait, no, she was paying for 1441 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:50,440 Speaker 4: it all. 1442 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and she got the refund and also the 1443 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 2: chum pagna. She got that bad. 1444 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,360 Speaker 4: That's so sad. But yeah, that's that really sucks. You're 1445 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 4: already gone. 1446 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,160 Speaker 2: You know, it supposed to be a girl day. 1447 01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 4: Friends, because you just had something kind of really traumatic 1448 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,600 Speaker 4: happened two months prior, and it doesn't seem like they 1449 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 4: care enough to be there for you. Yeah, because you know, 1450 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 4: I've I've realized recently and that I have really great 1451 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 4: friends because they show up, and you want to have that. 1452 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 2: You have friends that show up for you, Yeah, for sure, 1453 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 2: that's the goal. So so I only paid for myself. 1454 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,360 Speaker 2: During the session, I was trying not to cry, thinking 1455 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 2: about how none of my brides were getting ready with me, 1456 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 2: as well as thinking about how far along I would 1457 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 2: have been if I hadn't miscarried, and the tiny bump 1458 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 2: that I would have had damns so sad sad. Anyways, 1459 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 2: fast forward, my hair's done and my dad picks me up. 1460 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,639 Speaker 2: We had to go and collect the table center pieces 1461 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 2: from a local shop. Now on to that third thing 1462 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,799 Speaker 2: that ruined my wedding day. After picking up the center pieces, 1463 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 2: I had a phone call from my mother and she 1464 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 2: started shouting at me down the phone, asking where me 1465 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 2: and my dad were. She needed help finishing the cake. 1466 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 2: My mom made the wedding cake, and she still had 1467 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 2: to get ready and we were taking too long. I 1468 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,680 Speaker 2: told my mom that Dad was just dropping me off 1469 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 2: at the wedding venue and then would be on his 1470 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 2: way home. After dropping me off at the venue, I 1471 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 2: helped finish setting up the reception room and then went 1472 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 2: to get ready, where my photographer took pictures of me 1473 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 2: getting ready, and it was lovely but lonely. 1474 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,800 Speaker 4: It's supposed to be here, you got your friends surrounding you, 1475 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 4: It's supposed to be you in a girlies. This is 1476 01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 4: so messed up. 1477 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,639 Speaker 2: The girlies are not coming through for you right now. 1478 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,720 Speaker 4: Who goes to a car. What's even more frustrating is 1479 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 4: the person who went to the concert when like they 1480 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 4: knew about this wedding for seemingly a long time. 1481 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, also, come on, wake up early, Come on, also, 1482 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 2: wake up early. 1483 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 4: Literally just waked up hours early. This is like that 1484 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 4: one store. I don't know if you were there, but 1485 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 4: there was a story where this guy refused to get 1486 01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 4: up at like I was there for that. 1487 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 2: I can't make it because it's just I'm It's like, 1488 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 2: shut up up, shut up, dude. 1489 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's this. 1490 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,680 Speaker 2: After I was ready, though, all the bridesmaids turned up 1491 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 2: better after I'm ready than never. Huh. However, it was 1492 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,759 Speaker 2: ten minutes before I was due to walk down the aisle. Wow, 1493 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 2: the girlies really dropped the ball. 1494 01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:22,799 Speaker 4: That's crazy. 1495 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 2: Anyways, I digress. The ceremony went with no problems, and 1496 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 2: so did the pictures after, and so did the wedding breakfast. 1497 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 2: Not sure why it's called breakfast. We sat down and 1498 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 2: eat at like two pm. 1499 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 4: Damn. 1500 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,719 Speaker 2: After all the food and speeches were finished at about 1501 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,360 Speaker 2: four thirty pm, I decided on a two hour free 1502 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 2: time break. So this way, our photographer got a break 1503 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 2: and food, and everyone could do their own thing before 1504 01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 2: the reception started at seven, where other guests we couldn't 1505 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 2: afford to invite to the wedding would be attending. My 1506 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 2: husband and I went back to our hotel room just 1507 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 2: to have some alone time as a newly married couple. 1508 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 2: I hope you were doing anything inappropriate, and they're okay. 1509 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,759 Speaker 4: But to keep it appropriate that is interesting, really quick. 1510 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 4: The two hours of free time between I don't know. 1511 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 4: I mean, unless everyone has a place to stay, I 1512 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 4: don't know if I would love that. 1513 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,679 Speaker 2: I just wandering around, wandering around, wander around for two hours. 1514 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,880 Speaker 2: I'm taking my wife back to the hotel room, like. 1515 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,799 Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know if I would. 1516 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:27,679 Speaker 2: Like that, but we're like, yeah, okay, here's where. The 1517 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 2: fourth thing that happened that day, which also ruined my 1518 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,759 Speaker 2: day for me, My hubby and I were talking about 1519 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 2: how our morning's had been. I told him mine, and 1520 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 2: when we talked about his, he dropped the bomb show 1521 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,400 Speaker 2: that he had overheard Oh yeah, his two sisters complaining 1522 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 2: about me, saying they didn't understand why I was so 1523 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,599 Speaker 2: upset over the fact that they weren't getting their hair 1524 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,479 Speaker 2: done and ready with me. Wait wait, jaw dropped. 1525 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, dude, why are you telling your your wife 1526 01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 4: this on her wedding day? We didn't need to tell 1527 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,680 Speaker 4: her this, Like maybe maybe this is a conversation that 1528 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,599 Speaker 4: you have with your sisters later. Yeah, but you say, hey, 1529 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 4: don't talk about my wife like that. You don't need 1530 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 4: to tell your wife on her wedding Day's like, by 1531 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 4: the way, all your girlies don't like it. You know, 1532 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 4: they're freaking talking crap. 1533 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 2: I love that we're getting married. None of the girlies 1534 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 2: or your friends. 1535 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, why would you tell her to say that? Keep 1536 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 4: your mouth shut? 1537 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 2: He wants to tell the truth. I get it, there's 1538 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 2: a principle. 1539 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,360 Speaker 4: But I think there's there's a time. Wait one, Yeah, 1540 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 4: you have to wait. But also it's like you could 1541 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 4: have gone and stood up for her. 1542 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, my jaw dropped. I asked Hubby if he stuck 1543 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 2: up for me, and he said no, he didn't want 1544 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 2: to cause an argument with them. 1545 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 4: Then why are you even bringing it up right now? 1546 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,439 Speaker 2: This pissed me off, but I let it slide. I 1547 01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 2: didn't want to have an even crappier day that I 1548 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,919 Speaker 2: was already having. Finally it was time for the reception. 1549 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:50,799 Speaker 4: Yay. 1550 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,040 Speaker 2: We had our first dance, which I hated. Again I 1551 01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 2: don't like being the center of attention. And then came 1552 01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 2: time to cut the cake, the final thing that pushed 1553 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 2: me over the edge and completely made me wish my 1554 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 2: husband and I had just eloped. As I said previously, 1555 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,320 Speaker 2: my mom had made our wedding cake and it was 1556 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 2: beautiful and I was so grateful. We cut the cake. 1557 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 2: There was no smashing it in each other's faces, just 1558 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:20,599 Speaker 2: very simple. However, one of my hubbies relatives came up 1559 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 2: to me and made a joke about the cake looking 1560 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 2: cheap in front of my mother. 1561 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,639 Speaker 4: Why would you say, who are these people? Old family? 1562 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,760 Speaker 2: Kind of suns They didn't know, maybe that the mom 1563 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 2: made the. 1564 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 4: Cake, relatives didn't know, didn't know, But regardless, why would 1565 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 4: you say that about someone's wedding cake? 1566 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, why, you're right? Why make a joke about 1567 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 2: the cake looking cheap? At really a weird wedding? These 1568 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 2: people always sow their mouths shut. Now, just for backstory, 1569 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,559 Speaker 2: my mother doesn't warm people. My mother does not warm 1570 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,679 Speaker 2: to people very quickly, and after meeting my husband's family 1571 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,760 Speaker 2: at my hen party, she disliked them. I'm not sure why, 1572 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,439 Speaker 2: but it could have been anything like they looked at 1573 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,519 Speaker 2: her the wrong way. Anyway. My hobby's relative then said 1574 01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 2: he was joking and that the cake looked amazing, but 1575 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,880 Speaker 2: it was too late and the damage was done. My 1576 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 2: mother flew into a rage and started yelling at my 1577 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:19,760 Speaker 2: husband's relative. I told my mom to please stop. She did, 1578 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 2: of course, but she stormed off. A couple minutes later, 1579 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 2: my dad came up to me and started telling me 1580 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,599 Speaker 2: off for not sticking up for my mom, and now 1581 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 2: she was crying at that. I just said, if this, 1582 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,679 Speaker 2: I'm done, and I stormed out of my own reception 1583 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 2: and ran straight to the bridal suite I would be 1584 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 2: staying and flooded of flooded with tears. 1585 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 4: This is so so much, so much is happening right now. 1586 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 2: I can understand why you don't like to celebrate your 1587 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 2: wedding day. 1588 01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:49,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1589 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,000 Speaker 2: I text my Hobby that I was back at the 1590 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,839 Speaker 2: room and I wouldn't be coming back to the reception. 1591 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 2: I went into our room, ripped my dress off, through 1592 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,719 Speaker 2: it onto the ground, and just changed into normal clothes 1593 01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 2: I had packed. Ubby came bursting into the room, asking 1594 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 2: what had happened. I explained to him that, and he 1595 01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 2: was pissed off with his relative as well as my 1596 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 2: parents for making me cry. My parents then turned up 1597 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 2: in our room, and my mom and I got into 1598 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:16,879 Speaker 2: an argument. 1599 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 4: Yay, it's something everyone here like. All of the relatives 1600 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:22,839 Speaker 4: are just exhausting. 1601 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 2: All of the relatives are not making your day any easier. 1602 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 4: You know, if he's already going through a lot emotionally. 1603 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 2: There's a lot going on. Well, we both cried and 1604 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 2: then both apologized to one another. 1605 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:35,960 Speaker 4: That's good. 1606 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,679 Speaker 2: I did leave my room, but only to have food. 1607 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 2: I never went back into the reception room, and I 1608 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,880 Speaker 2: just sat out by the front doors of the venue 1609 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 2: until the reception was over and everyone left. In hindsight, 1610 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 2: I should have stuck up for my mom, but she 1611 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,000 Speaker 2: was already on edge with his family, and she was 1612 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,200 Speaker 2: threatening to kick off if anyone from the husband's side 1613 01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 2: looked at her. Funny again, I just wanted to keep 1614 01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 2: the peace at my wedding because after that my family 1615 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 2: would never see his family ever again. But we want 1616 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,120 Speaker 2: to see you every day, weekday when we're live on 1617 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 2: YouTube at three pm PSD. 1618 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 4: All you gotta do is tap our profile and you'll 1619 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,360 Speaker 4: be let's tap it, you'll join in, man oh man. 1620 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,160 Speaker 4: And there is a little bit left in this story. 1621 01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:18,360 Speaker 2: But there is a little bit left. 1622 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 4: I got Okay. One, I think that op just didn't 1623 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 4: really this is not necessarily like a fault thing. But 1624 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like this wedding was really catered to 1625 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,479 Speaker 4: Ope's wants and desires, like she doesn't want to be 1626 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 4: the center of the tension. But a lot of this 1627 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 4: was surrounded, you know, was a lot of traditional wedding stuff. 1628 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:42,960 Speaker 4: Is putting the bride in the groom, at the center 1629 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 4: of protection, at the dead syndrome. Yeah, So if that's 1630 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 4: not your vibe, then like express that to your partner 1631 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 4: and be like, hey, is there any way we can 1632 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 4: cut these parts out or something, or maybe compromise about 1633 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 4: what we keep in. 1634 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the plan should have been Elope from the. 1635 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 4: Video, Yeah, I would you would think that's what it seems. 1636 01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 4: Your family sucks. And then the fact that your husband, 1637 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 4: like most so many times, his family was just being 1638 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,920 Speaker 4: awful and just saying awful things about you and disrupting 1639 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 4: the wedding and he did not stand up for you, 1640 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,680 Speaker 4: and then your family on the other end is you know, 1641 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 4: making problems. It's just a whole mess. 1642 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 2: There's problems all over the place. I later found out 1643 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 2: my husband's relative tried apologizing to my mom, but she 1644 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,640 Speaker 2: just gave him a cold shoulder. My brother wanted to 1645 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 2: start a fight with the relative and his family. Oh great. 1646 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,680 Speaker 2: Someone who I had never met before, who was the 1647 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 2: girlfriend of one of our guests, attended our reception without 1648 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,720 Speaker 2: us knowing, got so wasted and caused a scene and 1649 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 2: tried starting a fight with one of my relatives. And 1650 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 2: that my sister in law, my husband's brother's wife found 1651 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,880 Speaker 2: out she was pregnant on the morning of our wedding day, 1652 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 2: and that our anniversary is special to them too. Just 1653 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 2: another reason to hate that day. Looking back, we should 1654 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 2: have eloped and just had a at a local village hall, 1655 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 2: or even better, just not got married at all. 1656 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:08,559 Speaker 4: Oh, I honestly think that really quick. I think that 1657 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 4: given that op was in such an emotional state, I 1658 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 4: think they should have postponed the way. 1659 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think village hall wedding. 1660 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think you can still do that. Some 1661 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 4: of the says do redo. I think you just do 1662 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 4: that radial moment. 1663 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe just your mouths or whatever, like the like 1664 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 2: a old folksy European. 1665 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 4: Tavern, find a little Irish to little Irish plub where 1666 01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 4: they're playing some folks. 1667 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 2: There's a fiddler in there. 1668 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 4: That's all I want. 1669 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,519 Speaker 2: I'm not their wedding. 1670 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 4: I think I was in somewhere in Scotland. 1671 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 2: I thought you one of the backyard wedding.

All I saw was my husband next 1722 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 4: to me, look at me. Then I fell to push 1723 01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 4: to the side, my husband stepping in front of me, 1724 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 4: and the next thing was my brother out cold on 1725 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:10,759 Speaker 4: the ground with blood on his face. Niama, nice, niem. 1726 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 4: All I heard is my mother yelling and my husband saying, 1727 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 4: you don't talk to my wife like that. I warned 1728 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 4: you already. 1729 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,160 Speaker 3: Wow, you guys got a barbecue and a show. 1730 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 4: Before I continue. My husband didn't hurt me. He didn't 1731 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 4: push me hard or anything like that. Don't know how 1732 01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:27,400 Speaker 4: to describe it, but it was like a push that 1733 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,840 Speaker 4: someone will give you when they're trying to pass. I 1734 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 4: went like one step back, that's all. I'm not mad 1735 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,479 Speaker 4: at my husband. I'm mad at my brother. The whole 1736 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,600 Speaker 4: day he was demeaning me, insulting me, belittling me, I 1737 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 4: don't know where this came from, as he's never talked 1738 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,040 Speaker 4: to me like that or to anyone that I know of. 1739 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,559 Speaker 4: I wonder what he thought he knew. I'm wondering if 1740 01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:45,679 Speaker 4: he thought like Ope. 1741 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 3: Something didn't get ages or anything like that. No, no ages, Okay. 1742 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 3: I feel like if we read more, we're gonna find 1743 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:54,479 Speaker 3: out why. 1744 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 4: I think I think the brother probably thought he found 1745 01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 4: out something about Opepe, like she was cheating or something 1746 01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,520 Speaker 4: like that, something. 1747 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 3: I don't know, but also maybe intoxicated positive. 1748 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1749 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 3: We didn't get that detail. 1750 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 4: The bigger problem is that I have to choose either 1751 01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,479 Speaker 4: my husband or my parents. My parents are pissed and 1752 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 4: have given me an ultimatum. I either leave my husband 1753 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,000 Speaker 4: and divorce him, wow, or they cut me off completely. 1754 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 4: I mean, are they not going to do anything about this? Brother? 1755 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. Do you understand why? Yeah, the husband 1756 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,760 Speaker 3: was defending Ope. 1757 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 4: My husband doesn't give a crap that they're mad. The 1758 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 4: only thing he's mad about is that he only got 1759 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 4: one puncheon his words. I love my husband and don't 1760 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 4: want to lose him, but I also don't want to 1761 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 4: lose my parents. They've supported me through a lot and 1762 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 4: I've always been there for me. I know they're serious, 1763 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 4: as this is the first time they have ever issued 1764 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,559 Speaker 4: me with an ultimatum. They also threatened my husband with 1765 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 4: an assault charge, but he doesn't care and welcome them 1766 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 4: to do it. Yeah, I mean I visually, I don't 1767 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 4: think that what violence is ever the answer. But I 1768 01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 4: also understand that from Ope's productive, her husband was defending her. 1769 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:00,719 Speaker 3: Yes, and he did give warning. 1770 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm stuck between a decision that will change my 1771 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,360 Speaker 4: life forever, and I'm panicking. I have received messages from 1772 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,839 Speaker 4: friends and other family members that have given me support 1773 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 4: and condemned my husband, but they are leaning more on 1774 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,639 Speaker 4: the support side. Any advice will be appreciated. Edit to clarify, 1775 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 4: I'm choosing my husband. I have never questioned that, but 1776 01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 4: I also don't want to lose my family. I am 1777 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,160 Speaker 4: very family oriented and family to me is everything. I 1778 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,639 Speaker 4: want to find a solution where I can keep both 1779 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 4: and there is an updates. 1780 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:28,679 Speaker 3: We still didn't get a reasoning. 1781 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,600 Speaker 4: We don't know I maybe she doesn't know. 1782 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, maybe, but why are the parents just 1783 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,080 Speaker 3: out of the blue, like we're taking your brother's side? 1784 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:41,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, especially when OPI said he said the effing or 1785 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 4: thing loud enough for. 1786 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,560 Speaker 3: It, and everyone heard it. Maybe not everyone heard it, 1787 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,559 Speaker 3: but people heard it where it was just like, yeah, okay, weird. 1788 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 4: We're not going to follow up on that at all. 1789 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 3: I don't know where the parents are coming from. Like, yeah, 1790 01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,719 Speaker 3: he kind of deserved it, did he did? He really 1791 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 3: hurt him a little bit? Was it well deserved? Yeah? 1792 01:23:59,120 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 3: Shut him up? 1793 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think if I were in this situation, I 1794 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,560 Speaker 4: would be a little bit mad at Like if i 1795 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 4: Ropio would be a little bit mad at the husband, 1796 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,800 Speaker 4: I'll be like, Okay, that's not how we do things. 1797 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 4: But I'd also be like the brother is the problem too, 1798 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 4: Like he started this, he was running his mouth about me. 1799 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,200 Speaker 3: This all stemmed from the brother. Yeah. Again he was warned, 1800 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 3: if you don't stop, I'm going to shut you up. 1801 01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:21,880 Speaker 3: And guess what, he shut him up. 1802 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 4: And there is an update. My husband is my choice 1803 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 4: and I have no intentions of leaving him at all, 1804 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 4: never had. I know it's early for an update, but 1805 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 4: I'm more confused now about what's going on. My parents 1806 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 4: invited me over to have a talk with them, but 1807 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 4: they wanted me to come alone as they didn't want 1808 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 4: my husband at their house. My husband refused to let 1809 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 4: me go alone and said if he isn't going, then 1810 01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,040 Speaker 4: he won't allow me to. I don't like that. No, 1811 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:45,559 Speaker 4: he basically said, with you alone, that they will just 1812 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 4: pile on you, and that I won't let that happen. 1813 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 4: So we went together. My parents weren't happy to see him, 1814 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 4: and my mother wanted to say something until my husband 1815 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 4: told her he isn't there for them but me, and 1816 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 4: if he's forced to leave, I will leave with him. 1817 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,640 Speaker 4: I agree with them. Reluctantly, they agreed. My brother was 1818 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,600 Speaker 4: there as well. He had a broken nose and a 1819 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 4: chip tooth and refused to look at me or my husband. 1820 01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,120 Speaker 3: You deserved it, man, He just kept looking. 1821 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 4: At the ground even while talking. Apparently, what happened with 1822 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:13,799 Speaker 4: my brother is that he broke up with his girlfriend 1823 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 4: a month ago. It's more like she broke up with him. 1824 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 4: Don't know the reason, don't care. I wasn't aware of this, 1825 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 4: as we aren't close like that. According to him, the 1826 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 4: reason he had to go at me this weekend is 1827 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,639 Speaker 4: because of my life. Terrible reason, terrible reasoning. 1828 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,639 Speaker 3: No, No, so many people have. 1829 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 4: Gone through breakups and they don't start you know, saying 1830 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 4: you know, yeah, calling their siblings' names. Yeah. According to him, 1831 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,720 Speaker 4: my perfect life with my husband kept popping up on 1832 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 4: his feeds and he got jealous. 1833 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 3: Sounds like an issue, you brah. 1834 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 2: Come on. 1835 01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 4: Everything on my social media is with my husband. I 1836 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 4: don't really use it for anything else. But his feed 1837 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 4: was full of my posts and that sent him off 1838 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,479 Speaker 4: as I had something that he didn't. It got worse 1839 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 4: when he overheard me and my mother talking when I 1840 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 4: had a discussion with her over children. Me and my 1841 01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 4: husband are currently trying to have a baby, and that 1842 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 4: just made everything worse in his head. His life was 1843 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,000 Speaker 4: falling apart and mine was going perfectly, and I was 1844 01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 4: trying to have what he wanted with his ex. He 1845 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 4: said he didn't take my husband seriously when he pulled 1846 01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 4: him aside, and my husband warned him. I seriously don't 1847 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 4: know why he went after me, as nothing he said 1848 01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,680 Speaker 4: was true in any sense, and I did ask him 1849 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 4: why he said those things. He refused to answer me. 1850 01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 4: I asked him why the ore comment, because he knows 1851 01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,479 Speaker 4: my husband was my first and everything and it has 1852 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 4: only been him all these years. He refused to answer. 1853 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 4: I asked him if trying to have a baby with 1854 01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 4: my husband makes me an oar as it involves spicy 1855 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:33,760 Speaker 4: sleep and he just left the room. 1856 01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,320 Speaker 3: Dude, you imagine being so insecure because you just got 1857 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 3: broken up with for maybe a good reason. 1858 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,680 Speaker 4: It's show seemingly a good reason. If this is how 1859 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 4: you're acting, and. 1860 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 3: You're taking it out on your sister because she's having 1861 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,480 Speaker 3: a happy life and she wants a baby. 1862 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 4: Crazy, you are like, regardless if she was married or not, 1863 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 4: it's totally out of line to say this comment. But 1864 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 4: also she's married. 1865 01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,920 Speaker 3: You're a sad little man. You are a sad little man. 1866 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,840 Speaker 3: And wow, the fact that you're like I can't say 1867 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:03,839 Speaker 3: anything with a broken nose. Again, broken nose was well deserved. 1868 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 4: I asked my parents why they didn't step in and 1869 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,280 Speaker 4: tell my brother to leave or stop. My dad said 1870 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 4: he wanted to, but my mother told him to leave 1871 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 4: my brother be as he's actually not hurting anyone. He's 1872 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,640 Speaker 4: not hurting you. That's ridiculous. He's not hurting you. 1873 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,599 Speaker 3: He was hurting Ope, yeah, what if he called mom? 1874 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, i'ms the same with the ultimatum. They wanted to 1875 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,400 Speaker 4: protect my brother. I asked what about me? And they 1876 01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 4: were silent. That's so sad. All my father said was 1877 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,439 Speaker 4: the ultimatum was my mother's idea, and he went along 1878 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,599 Speaker 4: with it. Yeah, it seems like you're a freaking coward, dude. 1879 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,280 Speaker 4: He's like, oh, well, she told me not to talk 1880 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,479 Speaker 4: to your brother, so I didn't the app Well, she 1881 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,080 Speaker 4: wanted to have an ultimatum, so we did that. 1882 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,320 Speaker 3: The apple does not fall from the tree here. 1883 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 4: It seems like this is basically where we are at 1884 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,160 Speaker 4: the moment. A lot more was said, but I don't 1885 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 4: think it matters. My husband did apologize to my parents 1886 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,160 Speaker 4: for what happened, but refused to apologize to my brother. 1887 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 4: When my mother asked him to apologize to my brother, 1888 01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,640 Speaker 4: he outright said no, he won't apologize for standing up 1889 01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 4: for me and my brother got what he deserved. He 1890 01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,639 Speaker 4: was warned and didn't listen. My mother said, it still 1891 01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 4: doesn't excuse him for hitting my brother. My husband asked 1892 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 4: my dad what would he do if someone called his 1893 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 4: wife in orr. My father said I would have a 1894 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 4: talk with that person, but would never hit someone. My 1895 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,639 Speaker 4: husband laughed and told my dad he was a weak willed, 1896 01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 4: spineless man if he allowed someone to demean his wife 1897 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 4: like that I do think that this guy is spineless, 1898 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 4: but I am I would not want my partner to 1899 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,519 Speaker 4: punch someone, even if they were saying things about me. 1900 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 3: I think it was just a like the spur of 1901 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,640 Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah, and like I said, will deserve but 1902 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:33,720 Speaker 3: violence is never the air. 1903 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,040 Speaker 4: Events is never the answer. I still yeah, it's like 1904 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,680 Speaker 4: I guess I'm of the mind of if you're going 1905 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 4: to start talking crap, expect to get hit, but you 1906 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:42,200 Speaker 4: should not hit someone. 1907 01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:43,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that's true. For clinching. 1908 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that got my mom read in the face. I 1909 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,920 Speaker 4: could see her get angry. That is when I told 1910 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 4: my husband it's time to leave. I told my parents 1911 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,439 Speaker 4: that I will be going low contact with them, and 1912 01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 4: the ultimatum they gave me broke the trust I had 1913 01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 4: in them. I understand they wanted to protect my brother, 1914 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,640 Speaker 4: but in doing that, they hurt me. This seemed to 1915 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 4: take all the anger out of my mother. They asked 1916 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 4: if I will be cutting them out completely, and I 1917 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,479 Speaker 4: told them that's up to them. I don't want anything 1918 01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 4: to do with my brother at the moment, as he 1919 01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:10,479 Speaker 4: can't even apologize for what he said to me. I 1920 01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 4: told them, if they can respect my wishes. We'll see 1921 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 4: a you would be respecting our wishes if you joined 1922 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,320 Speaker 4: us live every weekday three pm PST on YouTube. Just 1923 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 4: tap her profile and there is a little bit left. 1924 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:22,479 Speaker 4: But regardless of how I feel about you know your 1925 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 4: husband's actions, I do think it's the right move to 1926 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,599 Speaker 4: go low contact because your parents are just not at 1927 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,559 Speaker 4: all supporting you or recognizing that you got hurt in 1928 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:31,799 Speaker 4: this situation. Yeah. 1929 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes actions speak louder than words, and sometimes 1930 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 3: words speak louder than actions. And obviously this was all 1931 01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 3: stem from the brother of just being jealous, Yes, just. 1932 01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 4: Being jealous, and your parents letting him get away with that. 1933 01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 3: I don't understand why the parents are just like, it's okay, 1934 01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 3: so that's what siblings do. Yeah, no, no, no, no 1935 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 3: no no. 1936 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 4: When we got up to leave, my husband went over 1937 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 4: to my parents and actually still greeted them politely, but 1938 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 4: told my dad it's time to grow a backbone. Dang. 1939 01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:58,880 Speaker 4: I don't know what I saw, but I think it 1940 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 4: was shame in my mother's face, because my dad looked 1941 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,360 Speaker 4: at my mother and she looked away from him. This 1942 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,400 Speaker 4: is where we are at the moment. My husband on 1943 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 4: the way back home apologized for possibly escalating things, but 1944 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,479 Speaker 4: told me it was time someone told my dad the truth. 1945 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,840 Speaker 4: He said, whatever punishment comes, he'll take and deal with 1946 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,439 Speaker 4: any fallout. I don't need to worry or stress about anything, 1947 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,479 Speaker 4: and that is the end of that story.
