Chaos Ensues as Bride Refuses to Plan Her Wedding: 'Everyone Is Scrambling to Try to Throw Something Together'
A bride's family is in disarray as she refuses to organize her own wedding
She won't commit to a bridal shower or bachelorette party, but moved the wedding date up one year, leaving the family scrambling
"Is it normal for the bride to be so hands-off without hiring an event planner?" the Redditor askedA bride's family is trying to help her plan her wedding, but the woman has shown little interest in prepping for her big day.
In a post to Reddit's r/bridezillas forum, the bride's sister, who has been shouldering most of the work with the maid of honor, expressed concern about the rapidly approaching nuptials and the many details that still need to be sorted out.
The wedding was initially set to take place in the summer months of 2026, but the bride and groom decided to move the date up one year. Now "everyone is scrambling to try to throw something together," the sister wrote — except for the couple.
Though the bride's sister and her maid of honor have been doing their best to plan the nuptials, the bride also won't commit to any dates for a bridal shower or bachelorette party.
"I'm in law school, and MoH is in nursing school. I'll be working two jobs this summer and MoH is taking her NCLEX in june, so the scheduling of certain events is really important for both of us to schedule around, and the bride refuses to make any decisions or commit to certain dates," the Redditor wrote.
"Finally, when [the maid of honor] tried to communicate ... the bride sent her fiancé to essentially intimidate [her]," the sister wrote. "He told her 'she doesn't understand how her words affect the bride.'"
The groom then sent the maid of honor a longer text, scolding her for not "doing a good enough job." He told her she was "required" to float any ideas past other members of the bridal party, and then sent a screenshot of the conversation to the entire wedding party.
"i have never been to a wedding before, and none of my close friends are married, so i don't know if this is normal behavior. are we right to be frustrated by this? is it normal for the bride to be so hands off without hiring an event planner?" the Redditor asked.

Those in the comments unanimously agreed that the bride was being unreasonable. One user called the upcoming wedding a "no-win situation" — even if the sister and maid of honor planned the most beautiful day, it would still disappoint the bride because she never gave any input.
Others questioned if the bride is actually ready to get married, as someone who's looking forward to the wedding should want to have a hand in planning it. Even if planning isn't the bride's thing — it's not everyone's cup of tea — a wedding planner or even an elopement are much more feasible options, another comment read.
Another chimed in: "I'd be out and never speak to the bride again. No one's wedding should stress you out this much, and no one's wedding should have priority over your career."

39 Infuriating TV Moments That Enraged Viewers
A bit ago, Reddit user Whitino asked, "What TV show or movie had a character or plot that made you genuinely angry, and what was it?" and people had plenty to share. Here are 39 TV plotlines, aspects, and scenes that made people so genuinely angry, they almost gave up — or even did give up — the show. On Dexter, when Deb confessed her feelings for step-brother: When Andy became a brat again in Season 9 of The Office: When Landry killed someone on Friday Night Lights, and his dad helped him cover it up: When Five and Lila got together on The Umbrella Academy: Just everyone helping Mike cover up his fraud on Suits: The plane crash in Breaking Bad: When Nate leaked Ted's panic attack to the press on Ted Lasso, then went to work for Rupert, because he felt "neglected" by Ted: When The Walking Dead killed Glenn: And, before that, Glenn's fakeout death: Also, Beth's death on The Walking Dead: When Rory revealed she was pregnant at the very end of the Gilmore Girls revival: On Game of Thrones, when the Mountain killed Oberyn: And when Stannis sacrificed his daughter Shireen: Aaand when Bran became king: Just the existence of Brian in The Office: When Denny came back as a ghost on Grey's Anatomy: When Logan died right after marrying Veronica on Veronica Mars: When Spike attempted to sexually assault Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Frasier had Daphne go away to 'fat camp' because the actor was pregnant: When it was revealed Luke had a daughter on Gilmore Girls: When Dan was revealed to be Gossip Girl on Gossip Girl: Suggested by u/FreshLuxeThis will NEVER make sense to me. There were times Dan reacted to a Gossip Girl post while ALONE as if he was just seeing it!!! Also, I don't know how it was a love story to Serena. He spread rumors that she was pregnant and that she had an STI, among other things — the whole site started with a photo of an underage Serena in a wet, white dress that revealed more than Serena would've wanted shown. He constantly stalked her and her friends — yes, even if a lot of it was through others sending tips, I think it still counts. Also, let's not forget his tip caused the paparazzi swarm that caused Blair to have a miscarriage. And I haven't even gotten to the stuff he revealed and wrote about his own sister. I don't care if she gave him permission or not. And when Dan and Blair dated on Gossip Girl: When House had a bone marrow plotline and made it seem terrifying: When Ben killed Locke on Lost (literally like two minutes after convincing Locke not to kill himself???): When Bones decided to make Bones baby wild: And when Bernadette and Penny got pregnant on The Big Bang Theory: On The 100, when Bellamy betrayed everyone and voted for Pike as chancellor: And of course, when Clarke killed Bellamy, which was wildly out of character: When Rick and Morty moved to the new Earth on Rick and Morty: Alll the messed-up messaging about men and consent on Friends: And when Joey and Rachel got together on Friends: When Jackie and Fez got together on That '70s Show: Regina's redemption arc on Once Upon a Time: When Tyler was brutally assaulted in the bathroom on 13 Reasons Why: Suggested by u/KovuthebilionThis show had already taken things too far in what they were willing to show onscreen. But once they moved past the source material of the book, it got even worse. This was genuinely so disturbing to watch, and I never turned on the show again. I don't think they needed to have yet ANOTHER character go through a sexual assault, and if they insisted on writing that, they still did not need to show it. It was so gratuitous and messed up. When Roseanne revealed that the entire last season of Roseanne had just been a fictional story she was writing in a book: When Christopher cheated on Adriana on The Sopranos: When A was revealed to be Spencer's identical British twin, Alex, on Pretty Little Liars: Suggested by u/cannoliruleYes, this happened right at the very end of the show, but it still made me mad (though to be fair, it hadn't been good since the time jump). It felt like they wanted to honor the novels — which gave Ali a twin — but did it in the worst possible way. I think Troian was the best actor on the show by far, but her British accent was so laughably bad I can't take it seriously. The whole thing was nonsensical and ridiculous. When Kim showed up on Law & Order: SVU: And finally, the end of How I Met Your Mother: Now it's your turn — what TV plotline made you so furious, you had to stop watching the show, or at least take a break?

Billy Joel's first wife walked out on him in hospital bed after motorcycle crash that nearly killed him
Billy Joel is reliving some of the most painful moments in his life. In the upcoming documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," the "Piano Man" crooner, 76, recalled the moment his first wife, Elizabeth Weber, walked away from their marriage shortly after his near-fatal motorcycle crash. "I always romanticized motorcycles. There's something about it. I feel like I can be completely disconnected from the world. There's a sense of freedom about that," Joel said in the doc, per People. Billy Joel Cancels All Concerts Due To Brain Disorder Diagnosis Joel said his admiration for motorcycles left Weber "scared all the time." "I on many occasions said to him, you know, 'You can't do this, this is dangerous,'" she said. Read On The Fox News App "Elizabeth had warned me, she said, 'Be careful, be careful, 'cause you're going to have an accident,'" the musician recalled. In 1982, Joel suffered multiple injuries after his bike crashed into a vehicle mid-intersection. "I was amazed I was still alive. I should have died in that accident," he said. "And I laid there in shock for a couple of minutes and I went to the hospital." The accident left him with a broken arm, leg and wrist. While he recovered in the hospital, Weber opted out of the marriage. "I would've stayed, I would've been able — like so many women before me — to make that accommodation for someone you love ,but there was no way that I could stand by and watch him kill himself," said Weber, who recalled placing the house key onto a tray in his hospital room. "I just didn't have that in me. And I felt very strongly that that's what was going." When Weber left the hospital, she recalled telling Joel, "You know, someday they may write about us and I hope that they say that we really did something." According to her, Joel responded with, "I hope they could say we went all the way." She added, "And that was it. That really was the final. That was it." The couple were married from 1973 until 1982. "After 'Glass Houses' came out I was always on the road, working, working, I look back on that guy and I don't even know who he was, he had to be so ambitious to work that hard and work that much," Joel said in the documentary. "So, it must have not been easy to be married to me at the time." "I wasn't asking him to change, but I just did not want to live like that. My response to it was to get a place in New York City where you can enjoy anonymity — so it wasn't so much as we separated, but we started to get a little bit isolated from one another and I also knew that he wasn't in a good place. We were all under a lot of stress," Weber said. "All of us dealt with our stresses in different ways. And so there was a lot, a lot of alcohol use and eventually a lot of drug use." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News Elsewhere in the documentary, Joel also opened up about what led him to attempt suicide twice and fall into a coma. When the musician was in his early 20s, Joel was part of a band called Attila with his best friend, Jon Small, who was married to Weber at the time. He ended up moving in with Small, Weber, and their son, according to People. "Bill and I spent a lot of time together," Weber confessed in the documentary, per People. She added that their friendship was gradual and a "slow build." Joel eventually told his best friend, "I'm in love with your wife." "I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker," Joel admitted in the documentary, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday. "I was just in love with a woman, and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset." Billy Joel Opens Up About Affair That Led To Two Suicide Attempts The betrayal not only ended Joel and Small's friendship at the time but also dissolved their band, Attila. Consumed by guilt and depression, Joel's personal and professional life unraveled, as he began to spiral. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter "I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats, and I was depressed, I think to the point of almost being psychotic," Joel said in the documentary. So, I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.' I was just in a lot of pain and it was sort of like why hang out? Tomorrow is going to be just like today is, and today sucks. So, I just thought I'd end it all." Joel's sister shared in the film that she was working as a medical assistant and gave him sleeping pills to help with the restless nights.

"I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet. I thought that I'd killed him." While Joel acknowledged that he had been "very selfish" during the tumultuous time, he recalled his first thought when he woke up from his coma was that he wanted to attempt suicide again. During Joel's second attempt at suicide, he ingested "lemon Pledge," a furniture polish. Miraculously, he survived both attempts, after Small rushed him to the hospital. "Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life," Joel explained in the documentary. Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this post.
