People Are Sharing Terrible Weddings They Attended
Sometimes, we need to learn to say no. Just because you were invited to the wedding doesn't always mean you need to go, especially when major drama is afoot. But, then again, you could be completely caught off guard and have no idea you were walking into a $30,000 nightmare. On the r/AskReddit subreddit, Reddit user Fantastic_Series_599 asked people to share the "Worst wedding you've been to and what happened?" Goodness almighty, when I tell you, some of these responses made me never regret not getting invited to every wedding. "The bride wanted her cat at the wedding, and the groom and his best man brought the uncaged cat in the car and went through the car wash right before the wedding. The cat freaked and scratched up the groom's face and pissed all over the best man's tux and hour before the wedding." "About 15 years ago, I went to a small wedding in Las Vegas as the Maid of Honor's date. Almost immediately after the ceremony, the newlyweds got into an argument about something (I have no idea what) and the bride and groom ran off in separate directions. My then-girlfriend went to chase after the bride, and everyone else chased after the groom. Within less than a minute, everyone was gone, and I had no service on my phone, so I hung out in the casino alone for about two hours until everyone returned and acted like nothing strange had happened. That couple split after about a year and a half." "I realised that I didn't actually want to marry him, and that it was in fact the loneliest day of my life, because he didn't even talk to me. He got so drunk that I had to knock on my sister's door to help me get out of my dress (hundreds of buttons down the back) while he was passed out, sprawled on the bed. The guests had a great time, it was a beautiful wedding. We're divorced." "It was at a Mormon church, and for some reason, Mormon churches have indoor basketball courts in them. Half of the court was a wedding reception, and the other half was a pickup basketball game being played by a bunch of strangers who wouldn't leave. The ball hit the food table a couple times." "I was a bridesmaid at a close friend's wedding. Her mother-in-law was a weirdo. She insisted that she be in the wedding party. When we were helping the bride get dressed (her wedding dress was ridiculous), she kept pinching the bride. Like helping her put on stockings and pinching her butt. It came to a head when we were helping her with lingerie, and the mother-in-law literally tried sticking her finger in the bride's bum. Like I saw it. It was fucking bizarre. The bride slapped the shit out of the mother-in-law. Cops were called. Things got crazy." — Anonymous "I worked a wedding where the bride's ENTIRE family didn't show. They didn't support the marriage. Empty tables everywhere." "My (now) ex-wife wanted an extravagant wedding; I didn't, but I went with it for her. Originally, her parents offered to either buy us a house or pay for this wedding, and she chose the wedding. She was a total bridezilla. She insulted both of our families at the rehearsal dinner, forced all grandparents to wear specific clothing she picked, ordered her choice of food for EVERYBODY regardless of what they wanted, (she ordered a salad for my overweight relative." "Worked a wedding as a caterer where the bride and groom were mixed race. The families apparently were not fans of each other and the mothers developed a tit for tat mentality for the wedding. If someone got something, the other had to have it too or better. We got prepped by the event planner that we couldn't serve one set of parents first, we had to serve them simultaneously, or else one would perceive the other as getting one over on them." "So many speeches. They had both sets of parents, of course, maid of honor, best man, of course. But then, every other member of the wedding party also had a speech; there were six members per side. I think some aunts and uncles also spoke. Thankfully, the speeches were mostly after dinner was served, so people weren't starving. But the bar was closed during speeches, and the table wine ran out very quickly. The dinner and speeches lasted over 3 1/2 hours. By the time they ended and the dancing began, a large portion of the crowd just left, didn't hang around for the first dance or cake, etc. "I went to what I can only describe as a redneck wedding a few years ago. Groom was 24, his bride-to-be was like 42 with two kids over the age of 18. So, a weird dynamic to begin with. The ceremony was at a public park under a gazebo, the groom's parents were visibly not down with the wedding, it was hot as fuck and there was enough food for maybe 30% of the guests." "At the reception, I was sitting at a table with strangers. Turns out the bride's ex was sitting with us. I know this because he told me so before he projectile vomited onto the table, hitting my plus one in the face. We laugh about it now." "It was in the middle of nowhere, held at a 'country club' which I don't think ever hosted an event of any kind. We arrived, went in, and there was hardly anyone there. We make our way to where they are going to have the ceremony in some courtyard, and the chairs are all blowing away, and there are staff trying to chase them down. But there had to have been a couple of hundred chairs, and there couldn't have been more than 20 or 30 of us. I don't even know who rented all the rooms; that's what I kept thinking about." "The priest who was supposed to officiate the wedding fell ill, so the church sent in a backup or relief priest (didn't know that was a thing). Dude starts the ceremony and proceeds to launch into this whole speech about how, according to the Bible, the wife is supposed to be subservient to the man and take care of making his meals and keeping the house clean, etc, etc. It was some straight out of the 1950s bullshit. We all knew the bride well and watched in amazement as she managed to keep her shit together but we could tell she was absolutely fuming." "Nice wedding, but just an unexpected and funny thing during the photos, which were being taken in a beautiful nature reserve. The kangaroos weren't originally part of the photo plan, but of course, the photographer went with it when they wandered up. And they made for great photos. Until one of the roos decided that lace looked yummy. And for non-Australians, you need to understand that when a medium-large kangaroo wants something, it's very difficult to stop. And that, kids, is the story of how your dad lived up to his best man title by wrestling a kangaroo for uncle Arthur and auntie Kellie." "I went to a wedding where the bride insisted on travelling by horse and carriage to the reception, it took ages as the venue was a few miles away from the church. Everyone was just standing around waiting for the bride and groom to show up. When they eventually turned up, the bride insisted on her and her new husband going to their hotel room to consummate the marriage (she was desperate to get pregnant). So even more standing around until they showed up. It was all really, really cringey. "We went to a friend's wedding about 20 years ago in a sweet little town. The wedding was early, at around lunchtime, in a big French Catholic cathedral. It was about 95 degrees outside, and the church was not air-conditioned. The wedding was a full mass plus an actual wedding ceremony. We were starving, hot, and thirsty by the time it ended. We didn't want to eat because we were expecting dinner. Everyone took their seats, did the usual speeches, and such. There was NEVER any food!" "Unity candle started a fire in the church. They were able to put it out before it got too bad, but that was definitely interesting." "We were invited to the reception but not the ceremony. When we arrived, it was as if the reception had been going on for a couple of hours already. The bride seemed surprised we were there. We grabbed our gift off the table and left. When she said, 'What are you doing here?' That was pretty telling. There had been no falling out, but we hadn't heard from her in a while. And now we haven't heard from her since (it was about 20 years ago, even)." And finally, "Outside, right after the church wedding, the bride told the groom that he shouldn't have worn his stupid glasses to the wedding. And told him that his father should go fuck himself. Unbelievably, they're still married after 30 years." I know you've been to a busted, drama-filled, scandalous wedding before.

Best Cast Younger Versions Of TV & Movie Characters
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which actors were the best-cast younger versions of a character. Here are 28 of their top responses: "Violet McGraw as Yelena Belova in Black Widow and Thunderbolts." —Anonymous "Lindsey Gort as Samantha (Kim Cattrall) on The Carrie Diaries. She looked so much like SATC Samantha and had the Samantha vibe for sure; it was uncanny. I did a double-take in the first couple of episodes of The Carrie Diaries." —Anonymous, 45, Oregon "Azriel Dalman in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV show! If you told me that Walker Scobell and he were siblings, I'd believe it!" —rainbowqueen13 "Kyra Adler and Sydney Sweeney as Cassie from Euphoria." —Anonymous, 18, Nice, France "I thought Tom Blyth did an amazing job as the younger President Snow in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. He certainly looked the part, but more importantly, he'd clearly studied how Donald Sutherland played the part before him in intricate detail, as he got his mannerisms, voice, and even the tiniest glances and inflections spot on. It wasn't a carbon copy of his performance, but a realistic portrayal of someone who still has many things to experience and a lot of life to live through before becoming the older version of themself. I'm really interested to see how Ralph Fiennes will play the middle-aged version of the character in Sunrise on the Reaping." —Anonymous, 41, UK "It's obviously Jaidan Jiron as young Cece (Hannah Simone) in New Girl." —Anonymous, 33, Washington "Jack Dylan Grazer as a young Timothée Chalamet in Beautiful Boy." —Anonymous, 18, New Jersey "In A League of Their Own, Geena Davis's older version of her [Lynn Cartwright] was so close that I thought it was Geena just made up older!" —sharpjester79 "Older and younger Kaz Brekker (Fflyn Edwards and Freddy Carter) in Shadow and Bone." —Anonymous, 28, Tennessee "Mythic Quest Season 3, Episode 7 — Isla Rose Hall plays a young version of Poppy Li (played by Charlotte Nicdao). The physical appearance is good, but it is the acting that nails it. The mannerisms and voice patterns convince you that you have gone back in time to see Charlotte Nicadao as a child." —radmagazine667 "Michael Fassbender as Magneto [a role Patrick Stewart originated in X-Men] was pretty much peak in X-Men: First Class." —sonictiger "McKenna Grace and Kate Siegel in The Haunting Of Hill House was PERFECT." —misaamaneyagami "McKenna Grace as Caroline Forbes (Candice King) from The Vampire Diaries." —Anonymous, 15, Portugal The three Righteous Gemstones kids, especially J. Given Wilde as young Danny McBride. He has his cadence and mannerisms absolutely nailed." —barbiesdreamhouse "Snow White in Once Upon a Time. Bailee Madison was the perfect casting for the young Snow White. She looks just like a younger version of Ginnifer Goodwin." —Anonymous, 41, Michigan "Viola Prettejohn as young Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) in The Crown. They look so alike that I genuinely thought they used CGI to de-age her, and my mind was blown when I found out it was actually a completely different person." —Anonymous, 39, Massachusetts "Sheldon from Young Sheldon [Iain Armitage] and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory [Jim Parsons]. They never fail to deliver a good laugh." —crispyeggplant465 "Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse from Yellowjackets! But you could say that for the whole cast — the casting director ATE!!!!!" —Anonymous, 23, Canada "Colin Ford as a young Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) in Supernatural always gave me chills." —Anonymous "Harrison Ford in The Age of Adaline. Anthony Ingruber absolutely nailed the voice. If you closed your eyes, I'm not sure if you'd know the difference!" —buttercupbailey "On Orange is the New Black, a lot of their casting is pretty spot-on for past iterations of the characters, but Barb and Carol Denning were so accurate, it was spooky. I had to look it up to see if they were actually related to their grown counterparts!" —Anonymous, 34 Boston, MA "The younger version of Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (Christopher Serrone), I always thought was a good shout." —barbiesdreamhouse "Taylor Henderson as young Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler) in Hocus Pocus 2." —Anonymous, 48 GA "Tiffany Boone and AnnaSophia Robb in Little Fires Everywhere. They were the perfect casting for Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. Especially Tiffany Boone; she had Kerry's personality and mannerisms down to a T." —Anonymous, 29, Houston, TX "Josh Brolin as young(er) Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) in Men in Black III." —luckycat32 "Ben Savage as a younger Gideon on Criminal Minds. He and Mandy Patinkin could be related." —Anonymous "Walker Scobell as the young version of Ryan Reynolds's character Adam Reed in The Adam Project. He characterized him so perfectly, and the two actors are so alike in real life too — just watch Walker's Kraft Mac and Cheese commercial." —Anonymous And finally: "The casting of Now & Then was amazing! I feel like the legendary actors they used as the women when they were grown (Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, and Rosie O'Donnell) did such great jobs embodying their younger selves' characters as adults. Their appearances, mannerisms, and personalities were all perfectly matched. The child actors (Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman, Ashley Aston Moore, and Christina Ricci) were, and are, incredible actresses in their own right. All around, it was such an amazing movie because of the excellent casting." —awfulhouse65 Which other casting choices would you add to this list? Let us know in the comments!

‘My wife wants a fixed mortgage. Should she pay for our overspend if rates drop?'
If you have a conundrum that you want answered in a future column, email moralmoney@ All our letters are genuine, but writers are anonymous. Dear Sam, My wife and I are arguing about whether we should get a fixed rate or variable rate – we have a joint mortgage and we can't agree. Should I be able to insist that I am compensated when I am proved right and we end up overpaying our mortgage because she is too scared to track the Bank of England Bank rate? I believe (and so does every other expert on the subject) that interest rates will fall over the next two years, but my wife would prefer to lock us into a fixed rate for two years, so we know what to budget for. I strongly believe this will end up costing us hundreds of pounds that we could avoid by tracking the headline interest rate as it falls. Even if it did rise, we can afford our repayments. If she insists, I feel she should have to compensate me for the over payment of interest – that way her over-cautious nature doesn't rob me and she will have consequences for playing it too safe. – Anonymous Dear reader, You're not the first couple to fall out over money and you certainly won't be the last. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when you believe logic, data and expert opinion are on your side, but your partner doesn't share your outlook. Financial decisions, especially big ones such as choosing a mortgage, often tap into deep-seated emotions like risk tolerance, fear of the unknown, a need for control. No economic forecast can completely override those very human instincts. You clearly feel confident about the future of interest rates and your ability to weather short-term fluctuations. Your wife, on the other hand, prioritises predictability and peace of mind. Neither position is inherently wrong, just different. What's becoming dangerous is the idea that one of you must 'win', and that the 'loser' should pay a price for their view. My personal interest in how men and women often think and behave differently around finance leads me to mention the gendered dimension here. This is a typical husband/wife dynamic you are displaying, and taking a moment to acknowledge that and respect the 'why' of your gendered positions may be useful. In general, women tend to value security and predictability in financial decisions, especially where household stability is concerned. Men, on the other hand, are often more comfortable with calculated risk and can lean toward competitiveness – wanting to be proven right, to optimise every opportunity, or to beat the system. These traits aren't universal, but they do reflect broad tendencies that might help explain the emotional weight behind each of your positions. Marriage is not a zero-sum game and framing your disagreement in terms of compensation risks damaging the emotional partnership that sits behind the financial one. You're not business partners striking a deal. You are life partners navigating uncertainty. If your wife chose a fixed rate and interest rates did fall, she'd already carry the emotional burden of seeing that her cautious approach came at a financial cost. Adding financial penalties would turn a shared decision into a battleground of blame. Instead, I encourage you to take a step back and reconsider the purpose of the conversation. Is it about being right, or is it about feeling safe and secure as a couple? You say you can afford repayments even if rates rise, which suggests your argument isn't about financial survival, but about principle. That's valid, but it's also an invitation to find common ground, not a chance to 'win'. You could propose a compromise product: some lenders offer 'tracker with a cap' deals, which follow the base rate but protect against extreme rises. Alternatively, you could consider splitting the mortgage into two parts (some lenders allow this) where one part is fixed and the other tracks. This way you each have a stake in the outcome and no one is left feeling overridden. Even if that's not possible with your lender, the exercise of seeking middle ground may be more valuable than the marginal gain of saving a few hundred pounds. What's really at play here is fear, not just fear of rising interest rates, but fear of being dismissed or not heard in the relationship. You're both trying to protect your future just through different means. So rather than seeking compensation, seek understanding. Ask your wife what she needs to feel secure. Share what you need to feel respected and listened to. And remember, it's often the conversations behind financial choices, not the choices themselves, that shape the long-term health of a relationship. In the end, if you can come to an agreement that reflects both your risk profile and her desire for certainty, you'll not only save yourselves some money – you'll save yourselves a lot of emotional interest too. Good luck, – Sam

Trump Supporters Revealed If He's Impacted Their Midterm Votes, And It Sounds Like Their Wallets Are BEGGING For A Change
Many people online have expressed their regret after voting for Donald Trump because of how his policies have personally impacted them now. So we asked people in the BuzzFeed Community who voted for Trump to tell us if they plan to change course and vote Democrat in the midterms. We received a wide variety of responses. Here are a few of them: 1."My vote will not change. I will vote Republican because the Democrats do not even know what they are doing. They stand for nothing, just against Trump." —Anonymous 2."I prefer my president not to be a felon. I'm months away from retiring, and my retirement depends on the stock market. He burned me once for $13K, and he's destroying the market now and for the foreseeable future. No, I will never vote for a Republican ever again." —Anonymous 3."I voted for Trump in all three of his presidential elections because the Clinton/Biden/Harris regimes were absolutely incompetent. I supported Trump because I genuinely believed her was anti-war. HOWEVER, I feel deceived by Trump. As of now, for my local senate and congressional elections, I will be voting Democrat to balance out Trump's more extreme moves." —Anonymous 4."IT WILL NOT CHANGE! Never going back to being a Democrat unless they make some major changes!! Most or all ex-Democrats I know feel the same!" —Anonymous 5."I am a conservative who can't vote for a party of right-wing fascists, liars, and hypocrites; and that is most definitely what the GOP is. I used to enjoy Republicans under Reagan and Bush, but this GOP is way too far to the right for me... Democrats for me up and down the ticket in 2026 and 2028." "The Democrats might not have been my first choice, but if we do not want another modern day Nazi Germany in America, they are the ONLY CHOICE!" —Anonymous 6."My vote is unlikely to change. I am a conservative because I have things to conserve. I vote for a slimmer government and fewer taxes." —Anonymous 7."Definitely Democrat, and I am a conservative Independent.
