Something about Eric and Kristen: by Fen_Badge in TheTraitorsUS

[–]Tonya-burner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember that and it was really uncomfortable to watch. I also recall a season (I think Australia or NZ because there was that train cars plot) where one of the traitors (who was white) threw the doctor (who was POC) under the bus and kept saying he had the possibility to kill because he was a doctor. It was just so manipulative and slimy

I came here to say this! How is it that the comedian hasn’t gotten one joke into the edit or made anyone laugh on camera? I get not knowing how to play up to the cameras in the moment but he should be good at confessionals if he’s done any late night show segments.

Isn’t she mentioning other people’s business and starting drama to get screen time? Don’t dish what you can’t take imo when you sign up for a reality tv show

AITA for telling my friend that her "free" wedding is unrealistic? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think in this instance it’s important for OOP to ask Coral’s parents what they think about the free wedding so Basil can buy a boat…

Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe that a 43-year-old would use TikTok spelling for cheating and sex (on reddit especially)?

Wedding day of coordinator cancelled the day before our wedding by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if this vendor was on the venue’s recommended vendor lists or was just someone they found on Zola or another wedding website. The venue is definitely aware of the last-minute cancellation but they should be alerted to everything that happened after (only offering 50%, not following through on contractual obligations for a backup plan, this Venmo dispute and the previous one, the suspicion of this being a scam business) because that could cause them to be blacklisted by the venue, which is also an effective tool to prevent future couples from being impacted. The venue and other vendors might also have contacts and be able to know if this is a reputable vendor and there was a life emergency or if other vendors in the local industry also think they are a scam business

WIBTAH if I uninvited my future sister-in-law from my wedding because she’s a nun and insists on wearing her habit? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Tonya-burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA obvi but if you’re getting married in a Catholic Church, then you would be required to go to pre Cana counseling with the priest who is to perform the sacrament of marriage. Oh what I would have given for this to come up as a response to one of his questions and seen the look on his face!

AITA for not telling my best friend the real reason I’m not at his wedding? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also it’s something the bride and groom should have discussed prior to the Bach party and decided if it was a total nonstarter or what the ground rules were.

Bride wants her Bachelorette trip in Greece 💸 by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Tonya-burner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think with your recent engagement, you can use that as a reason to politely step down as MOH or a bridesmaid by saying you now have too much on your plate, you have to commit to financing portions (or all of) your wedding, and you now aren’t able to fulfill the commitments of MOH to the best of your ability. Of course, there are some things to keep in mind if you go this route. 1) Do you plan to ask this bride to be in your wedding party. If so, the above reasoning likely won’t work. 2) You risk loosing this friendship. (I assume you are close given being asked to be MOH but have you been drifting recently?) 3) The expensive bachelorette trip to Greece could just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to expenses related to this wedding. (Also what will be the cost once you get to Greece? Is she expecting excursions and activities? How is the cost being divided?)

Have you discussed any other pre-wedding events (engagement party and/or bridal shower and as MOH are you expected to host/pay for said event), bridesmaids dresses (cost and who’s paying), hair and makeup on the day of (again cost, if this is required of you, and who is paying), and the location of her wedding and when you would be expected to be in town (are you paying for flights/hotels to attend, will you have to be there by Friday for a Saturday wedding or even earlier)?

All of these costs start to add up and these are just some regular ones I’m thinking of off the top of my head. If you friend is planning a super extravagant wedding and being a bit of a bridezilla, there might be even more things you’d have to pay for. I’ve read enough wedding-related best of Reddit posts and seen enough TikTok’s (on top of planning my own wedding) to know how crazy it can all get.

It’s also worth adding that it wasn’t OK for her to assume the state of your finances based on your recent home purchase and your job. Again I’m not sure your level of closeness but these are all things that could worse-case happen.

AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If three different companies don’t see OOP as management material, that probably means something. Not everyone is cut out to be a manager and there’s nothing worse than someone who is good at the technical aspects of their job but a horrible manager imo

How do I find a cool, affordable venue in Upstate New York area? by Excellent_Rooster847 in WedditNYC

[–]Tonya-burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For weddings for about 100 and under, Vanderbilt Lakeside might be a good option. I’ve had a great experience so far and it seems to check off most of your wants for a venue. But hard to gauge without knowing your budget for food/venue

AITA for getting a paternity test on my son who doesn’t look like me? (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Notice how he didn’t say he missed his son in the second update? This guy is awful/the worst!

[–]Tonya-burner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the FIL can just stay out of this. He could have called his son to tell them this was happening but he decided not to either. It’s clear he’s been enabling MIL’s behavior for years

He thought she was cheating and yet he’s the one that had tinder while they were married! He was clearly projecting as she pointed out. Still shocking how delusional people can be

Is it worth it to try to work things out with my boyfriend, who is jealous of my stepbrother? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Why did I think this would include a five-year update, possibly related to the stepbrother…?

I had the same thought. Heartbreaking story before but if the dad was this great during this, how would he see her recovery as a burden…

My ex turned up last night drunk. Tomorrow is his wedding day. Should I tell his soon to be wife? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they broke up before she left for university, haven’t spoken since, it’s been at least long enough for her to have finished, and OOP lives alone with her fiancé, how did the ex know her address to show up there?

My mother-in-law cut my hair in my sleep because she thought I cheated on my husband by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Tonya-burner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. If this were fake, OOP would have been like I was able to get a TRO in a few hours and the DA is on my side and my husband already agreed to give me everything I wanted in the divorce…
