A relaxed bride has stunned internet viewers with her unconventional wedding dress choice.
Devon Coleman (@devonchubbsx), 30, a hairdresser from South Wales, has gained traction on TikTok after sharing a glimpse of her nontraditional wedding day—complete with a gray dress, bridesmaids in white, and a stress-free attitude.
In the now-viral clip, Coleman poses for photos in her gray gown alongside bridesmaids dressed in white, and they realize the "type B" bride has forgotten her bouquet for the shot. The video has racked up more than 72,300 views on TikTok.
"I have always known that I wouldn't wear a white dress as I never wear white anyway," Coleman told Newsweek. "Then I went to Laura Ashley in Cardiff, and that was the first dress I saw and tried on. Then I found out the name of the dress, and the dress was called Sutton, which is my little girl's name, and I just knew that it was made for me. I felt absolutely amazing all day. I even slept in it as I didn't want to take it off."

Type B personalities are typically relaxed, flexible, and easygoing individuals who handle stress well and are less driven by competition compared to their Type A counterparts.
Rather than being inspired by trends or tradition, Coleman said her choices were purely based on what she liked.
She had always envisioned getting married in a barn surrounded by fields and mountains—and that vision came to life at Sugar Loaf Barn in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. She described the venue as breathtaking, with panoramic views of the Welsh countryside and a unique feature where guests arrive on the back of a tractor.
Coleman said that both she and her partner took a very relaxed approach to planning. Despite having 10 months, the couple didn't finalize most details until just a few weeks before the wedding. There was no seating plan or order of the day—guests were free to enjoy the event at their own pace. Instead of a formal sit-down meal, they served food from Mexican and Italian street-food trucks, creating a more casual and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The couple even invited their sheep dog to the venue, who they momentarily forgot about, and he pelted his way to the farmhouse they were staying in. Luckily, he returned to walk down the aisle just before the bride.
Coleman's gray dress has sparked particular interest online—especially because it challenges the long-standing tradition of brides wearing white.
White wedding gowns became popular in the 19th century after Queen Victoria wore a one to marry Prince Albert in 1840. Before that, brides typically wore their best dress in any color.
TikTok users flooded the comments section with praise for Coleman's fresh take on wedding fashion.
"This is stunning. I love a different colored dress," wrote Kayleigh Campbell.
"Wow … you look insanely beautiful," added another fan.
"Omg [oh my God] how utterly gorgeous and so cool," posted one commenter.
"VERY DIFFERENT and VERY BEAUTIFUL I LOVE LOVE IT," wrote a user named Audrey.
"When I spotted the bride it took my breath away, absolutely stunning," shared another viewer.

Parents feel ‘fambushed' by teens — who are tracking their every move
It was supposed to help parents sleep at night — now it's their kids who won't leave them alone. Thanks to family-tracking apps like Life360, a new generation of teens has turned the tables on their parents, using the digital leash meant for safety to spy, stalk and score snacks. The trend has been dubbed 'fambushing,' a mashup of 'family' and 'ambushing,' and parents say it's ruining their peace, their privacy — and their queso. Advertisement 3 Family-tracking apps like Life360 were made to keep teens safe — but now the kids are flipping the script, using them to stalk, snoop, and snag snacks on demand. JRstock – 'I can never run errands in peace,' wrote mom Nicole DeRoy in a recent TikTok clip, where she revealed her teen now tracks her every move. 'POV: you downloaded Life360 when your teen started driving to make sure they were safe, but now they track your every move,' she wrote. Advertisement Some moms are even getting surprise visits while dining out. 'When your daughter stalks your location and sees that you're out eating Mexican food,' Chrysta captioned her TikTok video — which documents her daughter stopping by the restaurant. 'I hate Life360.' Jayme Beecher Crosby got hit with the ultimate chip heist when her teen daughter showed up at her restaurant table and helped herself. Advertisement 'When your daughter tracks you on Life 360 & shows up to steal chips/salsa and water,' she wrote. According to Life360, teens — especially the driving-age crowd — now open the app 25% more often than their parents and set 70% more 'Place Alerts,' turning everyday errands into opportunities for freebies or family ambushes. And Gen Z, the first generation of true digital natives, isn't stopping there. Advertisement Between Snap Map and iPhone's location sharing, many teens know where everyone is, all the time — and they're not shy about pulling up. ''Safe' is the number one term that comes to mind for 66% of Gen Z respondents when thinking about location sharing,' Lauren Antonoff, Life360's COO, told Parents. 'Eighty-seven percent of Gen Z respondents said they use the technology for long-distance driving, 80% when visiting new or dangerous places, 77% when going to an event, concert, or festival, and 78% when they are going to party or on a date.' Antonoff adds, '72% of Gen Z women believe their physical well-being benefits from location sharing.' 3 Life360 says teens — especially the ones with car keys — are checking the app 25% more than their folks and setting 70% more Place Alerts to turn errands into ambush ops. sdx15 – Still, even the experts admit this digital snooping can go too far — especially when it's the kids playing parent. 'When teens track their parents and show up unannounced to ask for things like Starbucks or rides, it can blur the line between connection and control,' pediatrician and mom Dr. Mona Amin told the outlet. Advertisement 'If a parent were tracking a teen this way — constantly checking in or popping up — we'd probably call it helicopter parenting.' 'The key is making sure there are agreed-upon boundaries and that teens still learn how to ask, not just access,' Dr. Amin added. 'Parents are people too — and teaching that early helps foster mutual respect.' As previously reported by The Post, nearly nine in 10 Americans say sharing their location actually makes life better — at least according to Life360, the tracking app with 80 million users and counting. Advertisement However, there are still caveats. Connecticut mom Jennifer Long had no problem tracking her teens on Life360 — until the tables turned. 3 If the roles were reversed, and Mom was popping up unannounced? Experts say we'd call it what it is — classic helicopter parenting. Synthex – Advertisement When her daughters spotted she was 'getting some aesthetic work done,' the flustered mama slammed the digital door, blocking them from following her every move. 'It's really more about me watching their safety,' she told The Post. So next time you sneak out for margaritas? Maybe go airplane mode.

Hunger strikes! Tears! Arrest! It's been a week of ridiculous performances as NYC liberals chase folk-hero status
What's another starving BS artist? Cynthia Nixon's daughter Seph Mozes, who identifies as a man, is going on a hunger strike for Gaza — but really for attention. 'He and five of his compatriots are doing a hunger strike in Chicago … ,' a proud Nixon told Newsweek, adding that her 28-year-old child has no 'illusions that he's going to end the war, but I think he wants to do everything he can.' To earn a merit badge in the art of self-congratulations, apparently. 6 Cynthia Nixon told Newsweek that her child Seph Mozes is now doing a hunger strike for Gaza Instagram/Cynthia Nixon Maybe Nixon's offspring had the misfortune of seeing the actress in bed with Rosie O'Donnell in the third-season premiere of 'And Just Like That.' Such a sight would put anyone off eating. But it's probably more like the famous anti-drug PSA from the '80s: 'I learned it by watching you, Mom.' Shortly after Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Nixon — who ran an unsuccessful campaign for New York governor in 2018 — boldly announced she was joining lawmakers, including current nutjob mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, in a five-day fast supporting ceasefire in Gaza. Nixon, however, committed to just two days of the five — a full 48 hours of abstaining from her beloved cinnamon raisin bagels with lox. She knows sacrifice and solidarity. 6 A Trump supporter shouted at marchers during the June 14 'No Kings' march in Manhattan. Aristide Economopoulos It's only fitting that Nixon's most recent proclamation capped off a banner week of performative activism by New York City progressives in search of folk-hero status. One pol was arrested, another cried and there were many self-righteous tweets posted with the presumed expectation that they'll end up in the Smithsonian one day. It all kicked off last Saturday with the No Kings anti-Trump protest, which was a social mixer for Boomer hippies. Did it mean anything? Like its predecessor the pink pussy hat marches, this was a collective tantrum against a duly-elected president. And maybe a guarantee that participants would get in their 10,000 steps for the day. Only days later, City Comptroller and Dem mayoral candidate Brad Lander desperately tried to revive his rotting corpse of a campaign by getting arrested on camera — not the first time. 6 City Comptroller Brad Lander was placed under arrest by ICE agents Tuesday after he obstructed them from an arrestee by refusing to remove his hand from the man's shoulder. Dean Moses/amNewYork 6 Lander's arrest was captured in a series of dramatic photos. via REUTERS In this instance, he pathetically tangled with ICE officers after demanding to see a warrant for someone being detained outside federal immigration court. Clinging to the guy's shoulder, he made a clear provocation to the officers to cuff him. And they made his day. Lander thought it would be a profile in courage. But it produced a series of unbelievable images that made him look like the town drunk being hauled out of his local watering hole for getting handsy with a waitress. In one, his bulging eyes rolled back into his head, he resembles Rodney Dangerfield. No respect! He was sprung by Gov. Kathy Hochul, who seems to only visit New York City for photo ops. Who can forget her riding the subway to tout its safety … on the same day a woman was incinerated by an illegal migrant on an F Train. 6 Kathy Hochul posted this picture of herself and Brad Lander walking after Lander was released without charges. Governor Kathy Hochul / X This time, our Democratic guv marched into the federal building and collected Lander, who was released without charges. She then tweeted a photo of them defiantly walking together, captioned with the state slogan 'Excelsior' — Latin for 'ever upward.' In Hochul-ese, it translates to 'empty political posturing.' After his publicity stunt, Lander was greeted like a conquering hero by lefty loonies including Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and absentee Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, who posted a photo of himself hugging the candidate and touting his 'courage.' Do these people know that we can't even buy toothpaste in this city without buzzing a worker to unlock it? But hey, they got their photo op. 6 As he was facing questions about his use of the phrase 'Globalize the Intifada,' mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani cried while telling reporters about the Islamophobia he's faced. Bernadette Hogan/NY1 Our pols are severely misguided. They regularly pledge to fight against Trump rather than fighting for everyday New Yorkers to have order and an affordable city. The rotten cherry on top was Mamdani — a political novice but a seasoned performer. He tried to blunt a blossoming new antisemitic scandal, fueled by his use of the phrase 'globalize the intifada' … by pivoting into his own victimhood. 'I get messages that say the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. I get threats on my life,' he said, choking back tears. Even the mere threat of political violence is an abomination, full stop. Just ask Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who had his house burned in an attack police said was driven by antisemitism. Or the families of the young couple killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in DC, allegedly by a man who said, 'I did it for Gaza.' But if Mamdani is going to cry every time he hears or sees some nasty words, perhaps being mayor of New York — which requires a firm hand and a thick hide — is not the job for him. The Big Apple has enough actors and clowns. Let's get some serious adults in here to run things.
