Woman Leaves Cousin's Wedding After Discovering Other Kids Were Invited but Not Her Own
A woman shared on Reddit that she left her cousin's wedding after learning that other kids were invited but not her own
"My husband and I were furious," she wrote
Now, she is wondering if she was wrong to leave the wedding early without saying goodbyeA woman says she was "furious" after arriving at her cousin's child-free wedding only to see some kids had been invited.
In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, the 35-year-old woman explained that her cousin's wedding invitation specifically noted "no children." Because the OP (original poster) and her husband had a 2-year-old daughter, she reached out to her cousin to make sure that the wedding was indeed a child-free event.
Her cousin confirmed the no-kids policy due to the venue being a winery, but noted that an exception was being made for the flower girls and ring bearer. Hearing this, the OP arranged for her mother-in-law to travel to the city where the wedding was being held so that she could care for the toddler while she and her husband attended the event.
However, she was surprised to arrive at the wedding and see a number of young children there, despite her cousin's insistence that only the flower girls and ring bearer would be in attendance.

"My husband and I were furious," she wrote, explaining that they stayed for the ceremony and dinner but then got up and left "without saying goodbye" to the newlyweds.
Making matters worse, during dinner, several people — including the groom's brother and the OP's other cousin — asked where their daughter was. "We made sure to tell them that we were told it was a child-free event so my husband's mother was watching her," the OP recalled.
She concluded her post by asking if she and her husband were wrong to leave the wedding early due to their frustrations over the situation.
In the comments section, many readers pointed out that the extra children at the wedding were likely brought there by guests who decided to ignore the no-kids request. They told her she was wrongly placing the blame on the bride and groom.
"What is more likely: the wedding couple giving everyone except OP an exemption from the child-free rule to specifically spite OP or that several sets of parents decided the rules didn't apply to them, brought kids, and the wedding couple chose to not toss these guests out on their ears," one person wrote.
Another agreed, commenting, "It seems more likely that those other people brought their kids in spite of that request, as opposed to the bride/groom intentionally excluding you from bringing your kid. YTA [you're the a------] for misplacing that aggravation as the responsibility of the bride."

Others told the OP that, no matter the circumstances, she could have handled the situation more diplomatically. "Leaving without saying goodbye was in bad form," one reader said, while another added, "Leaving in a snit because you couldn't bring your toddler is extremely childish."
Someone else told the OP she was making too big of a deal out of the perceived slight and should have just stayed and enjoyed the wedding. "Honestly, when my son was 2, regardless if kids were invited, I would have opted to leave him home anyhow. 2 year olds are unpredictable and you have to watch them the whole time. It can be hard to really enjoy the wedding when you're constantly wrangling a 2-year-old," they wrote.
The commenter added, "I don't understand why so much offense needs to be taken instead of just focusing on enjoying the evening as an adults night out."

Taylor Swift ready for ‘completely different' NFL season with Travis Kelce
It looks like Taylor Swift could be at more games this upcoming NFL season. For the first time since Swift and Travis Kelce started dating, the 14-time Grammy Award winner will not be on tour during the Chiefs' season, and she's excited for it, People reported. 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule,' a source close to the couple told People on Thursday. Travis Kelce celebrates with Taylor Swift after the Chiefs' 17-10 victory over the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game at M&T Bank Stadium on Jan. 28, 2024 in Baltimore. Getty Images 'This fall will be completely different,' the insider continued. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' During the previous two seasons, Swift, 35, was on her record-breaking Eras Tour, as she performed a total of 149 shows worldwide. 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work,' the source told the outlet. The tour finally concluded in December 2024, and Swift is expected to attend more of Kelce's 13th season with the Chiefs. 'Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped and she's genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently,' the insider shared. Travis Kelce warms up before the Chiefs' win over the Dolphins on Nov. 5, 2023 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Getty Images 'Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,' the source added. 'They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change.' Rumors have swirled around that Kelce, 35, might retire after this upcoming season, but teammate Patrick Mahomes remains confident that this will not be the star tight end's final year. 'If it's the last ride, you would never know,' Mahomes said during the Chiefs' OTA's earlier this month. 'The way he's talking about football, the way he's talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year, he doesn't seem like a guy like it's his last ride, like he's tired of the job.'

Taylor Swift Wedding Photos Slammed Over Plastic Surgery Allegations
While celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Sami Sheen are opening up about the plastic surgery that they've had done, Taylor Swift has remained relatively quiet on the topic. However, after accompanying her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, to a family wedding, rumors are circulating on social media that the "Shake It Off" singer has had work done. The "Cruel Summer" singer joined the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end to celebrate the wedding of Kelce's cousin, Tanner Corum, and his bride, Samantha Peck. Photos of the event quickly circulated on social media, with some speculating that the high-profile couple had already tied the knot themselves. Other fans, meanwhile, speculated that the singer might have had plastic surgery since ending her record-breaking Eras Tour. 'She looks really weird lately,' one fan wrote on Reddit above a photo of Swift posing at the wedding. 'I feel like she got more plastic surgery, right?' They went on to say how she looks so 'uncanny' and pointed out her cheeks, noting that they look 'strange and overdone,' which they supposed was the result of cheek filler. 'I don't remember her face ever being that full,' they noted, explaining that her eyes look a 'little weird' too. 'It's pretty crazy seeing her next to a normal-looking person,' they continued. 'I'm honestly so sad she's going down this road. In my opinion, she looked pretty and normal even a few years ago. I hope she doesn't continue getting more procedures done.' 'Her face looks super tight like she can't make real emotions,' one netizen commented. 'So yes. I honestly base people's plastic surgery journey off the Kardashians because they're the final boss of that sh-t and she be looking like Kris Jenner more and more every day.' Another user agreed, writing, 'Yeah, she reminds me of Joan Rivers in her later years… already.' Joan Rivers got some love from fans for owning up to her plastic surgery instead of denying it, with another fan writing, 'RIP to a real one. People who get plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments in general should take notes from people like Joan Rivers and Dolly Parton— own it. There is so much more power in owning it than denying it and claiming you're just using a good moisturizer and doing facials.' Other users were disappointed with her new look and blamed it on the 'WAG lifestyle and persona' while trying to fit in with the NFL aesthetic. 'Obviously, everyone can do with their body whatever they want, but I think this level is pretty sad cause it often roots in insecurities (which she even admitted to herself multiple times),' one fan wrote. 'I think she looked very pretty and "unique" during Reputation - Evermore or even until Midnights. To m,e she had a more natural and 'peaceful' aura about her.' 'Something seemed to have changed a lot with the Eras Tour and other circumstances in her life changing,' they continued. 'She adapts so much to the people surrounding her and this also shows in her appearance imo.' Kylie Jenner recently opened up about the plastic surgery that she had done by Dr. Garth Fisher. As The Blast previously reported, fans have been begging to know the details behind Kylie's breast augmentation. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," she wrote in one of the comments of the video, earning praise from fans who were eager to replicate her figure. Prior to her nose job, the daughter of and also had surgery in 2023. As previously reported by The Blast, she told her followers that she received 350cc silicone implants. Although she initially supported her daughter's decision to join OnlyFans as soon as she turned 18, Denise Richards did not support her daughter's decision to get breast implants because she wants to get her own pair removed. 'I'm trying to talk her out of it because, and the reason why I'm getting them out, is I didn't know how toxic [they are] when I was 19,' Denise told Bustle in 2023. 'And it's not an easy surgery. It's painful!'

Stanley faces criticism over controversial Post Malone collab
I love my Stanley cups. I have one for travel (the IceFlow) and one for home (the Quencher). Of course, I keep things simple. My wardrobe is mostly black and white, and so are my Stanley cups. One black. One white. No matter what I'm wearing or where I'm going, my cup always matches. Meanwhile, I've noticed some people seem to have 100 different Stanley cups in 100 different colors - one to match every mood, outfit, or season. Related: Stanley cup maker has a problem on its hands That collector mindset explains why so many fans are watching Stanley's latest move so closely. The brand released a first look at its upcoming Post Malone collab, and it's already sparking debate online. Fans of Stanley's clean, classic aesthetic aren't exactly embracing the bold look of the Post Malone designs. And some are questioning whether the company is leaning too hard into constant limited-edition releases. If you scroll Reddit, it's clear this latest collab has stirred up a lot of chatter - and not all of it is positive. The new collaboration includes a limited-edition 40-ounce Post Malone Quencher featuring a MultiCam® camo design with bold orange accents and a patriotic Posty Co. keychain. The standalone tumbler is priced at $65. A second version, priced at $75, pairs the tumbler with a matching pouch and belt. The collection isn't available for purchase yet, but it's already live on Stanley's site, fueling buzz across social media. Reactions to the collab have been polarized. Some users are flat-out rejecting the design: "It is ugly anyway, so with the MultiCam print or not, I would never buy this one," wrote u/gandalfpr. Related: Lululemon rival, Alo Yoga sued over social media claims Others took issue with the aesthetic on a deeper level. Some users even debated whether the design was politically charged or "MAGA"-coded. "I don't want to look like a Republican or white trash," commented u/flowercrownkurama. Skepticism about Stanley's constant stream of limited-edition drops also surfaced. "I swear they are just testing the limits of how gullible we are," said u/Friendly-Catch-6888. Still, not everyone is disappointed. "It's so cute, I might actually die!!" gushed u/burgledhams, showing that the drop does have its fans. Love them or hate them, Stanley's limited-edition drops have become big business. The company, founded in 1913, saw a massive resurgence in recent years, thanks to viral demand for its Quencher tumblers. According to CNBC, Stanley hit $750 million in sales in 2023, up from just $73 million in 2019. A key part of that growth strategy? Collaborations. By partnering with influencers and celebrities, Stanley keeps buzz high and demand strong. The constant stream of new designs creates urgency and taps into the collector mindset - even if some core fans feel fatigued. Collaborations have become a key tool for keeping the brand fresh and driving ongoing demand. Still, as this latest Post Malone drop shows, there's a fine line between exciting customers and overwhelming them. Stanley will need to strike the right balance as it rides this wave of success and faces ever-higher expectations from its loyal fan base. Although this "Manley Cup," as u/Sonicorp called it, may not be for me, I'll be watching from the sidelines - while staying hydrated, of course.
