1. Vegas, Baby! And Don’t Forget to Bring a Gift You’ll Never See in Action
My cousin Susy’s wedding was a masterclass in audacity. First, she sent out save-the-dates. Then… crickets. Getting antsy, I messaged her about invites.
“Oh, we’re just doing a small Vegas thing now. Money’s tight,” she chirped.
Fair enough, right? Wrong.

A week later, everyone who didn’t make the cut got a lovely little notice. “We’re off to Vegas! Here’s our registry — gifts only, please!”
The kicker? This chick was my maid of honor, and I’d covered all her expenses.
Did she get me a gift? Nope. Now she wanted me to shell out $500 for a mixer I couldn’t even use to drown my sorrows at her reception. Hard pass, cuz. Vegas, baby… without your overpriced kitchen gadgets!

2. When Your Maid of Honor’s Dress Costs More Than Your Wedding… Oops!
My wedding was a shoestring affair. We’re talking $80 dress, $30 for my maid of honor’s gown. But my dear friend decided her frock needed some TLC.
“Sure,” I said, picturing a nip here, a tuck there.
Turns out, she went full Project Runway, racking up $100 in alterations! Her dress now cost more than my entire bridal ensemble. But wait, there’s more! Shoe shopping rolled around.

“I’ll spot you,” I offered when she came up short. She picked some pricey kicks, but hey, her dime, right? Wrong again.
When I asked for repayment, she hit me with, “Oh, I thought you were treating! I’d have chosen cheaper ones if I knew!”
My bank account wept silently as I realized generosity and wedding planning don’t always mix.

3. The Wedding Where Half the Guests Got Sheet Cake and the Other Half Got… Everything Else!
Imagine throwing a wedding with a VIP section. That’s exactly what my “friends” did.
They cooked up a two-tier guest system that’d make a nightclub bouncer blush.
Tier 1? The chosen few. Fancy wristbands, full banquet access, and an open bar. Living large!
Tier 2? The unwashed masses. We got to watch the ceremony, then twiddle our thumbs until the reception’s leftovers. Cash bar only, peasants!

Oh, and don’t forget the cake — fancy fondant for the elites, grocery store sheet cake for the rest of us.
The pièce de résistance? A “sponsor our honeymoon” donation box, because nothing says “We value your presence” like begging for vacation cash after treating half your guests like second-class citizens.

4. Cash-Only Wedding: Because Who Needs Love When You’ve Got Venmo?
Picture this: a couple so hellbent on a fairytale church wedding that they turned into medieval tax collectors. Instead of a registry, they demanded COLD, HARD CASH. Yep!
And we’re not talking “slip a $20 in a card” money. These folks wanted enough to make your accountant sweat.

Unsurprisingly, the guest list started shrinking faster than a wool sweater in hot water.
But here’s the real kicker! All that dough couldn’t buy them happiness. They didn’t even make it to their first anniversary.
Turns out, you can’t build a lasting marriage on a foundation of tulle and empty wallets. Who knew?

5. No Pics, Please! How My MIL Tried to Censor Our Wedding for Family Privacy
My MIL Daisy had some… interesting requests for our wedding.
Picture this: we’re at my final dress fitting, and she drops this gem: “Don’t post any pictures on social media. I don’t want my family to see.”
Um, what? We’d already downsized from a big shindig to a woodsy elopement (with a promise of a church do-over later). Now she’s trying to censor our memories?

I bit my tongue so hard I nearly needed stitches. Finally, I mustered up my best “bless your heart” voice and said, “Daisy, darling, this is our day. Those pictures are going up faster than you can say ‘I object.’”
My fiancé backed me up, and Daisy miraculously found her chill. The wedding was perfect, and you bet your bottom dollar those pics hit Facebook before the cake was cut!

6. Bad Hair Day Turns into a Soap Opera Slapfest at My Sister’s Wedding
Meet Linda, my half-sister and wannabe hair dictator. For her wedding, she demanded all bridesmaids sport identical ‘dos.
Never mind that we had a veritable sampler platter of hair types and lengths. Oh, and did I mention the crack-of-dawn appointment at some ritzy, far-flung salon?
Mom, bless her, booked me at a nearby budget place instead. Cue the rehearsal dinner drama. Linda and Mom went at it like two cats in a sack. Next thing I know, I’m booted from the bridal party faster than you can say “bad perm.”
But wait, there’s more!

Linda’s mom decided to play bouncer, trying to kick Mom and me out of dinner. When Mom stood her ground, SLAP! Yep, Linda’s mom went full soap opera on my mother’s face.
Needless to say, Dad and Bro bailed on the big day, along with most of our side. All this over some up-dos. Talk about a bad hair day!

7. Destination Wedding Disaster: When the Hotel Bill Costs More Than the Wedding Itself
Buckle up, folks, ’cause Roger and I are on a wild ride to Wedding Wonderland. Our pals can’t seem to nail down a single detail, but boy, do they have demands!
First, it was a tropical getaway. “We don’t want to exclude anyone,” they said while planning a bash more remote than a desert island. “Oops, military duty calls!” Scratch that. Now we’re headed interstate, but don’t worry, it’ll still cost an arm and a leg!

They insist we all bunk at the same hotel. Slight problem: 100 guests, 10 rooms, and a nightly rate that’d make a rockstar blush. Roger and I are about ready to elope ourselves just to escape this circus. At this rate, we’ll be living on ramen for a year just to afford their “special day.”
Here’s hoping their next bright idea doesn’t involve us selling a kidney!

8. Ahoy, Guests! Please Help Us Buy Our Dream Boat Instead of Toasting the Bride & Groom
Let me introduce you to my buddy’s cousin Jeremy and his blushing bride. These two lovebirds had a dream — a dream of cruising the high seas in style.
So naturally, they decided their wedding was the perfect opportunity to crowdfund their nautical ambitions. Forget toasters and towels, these modern-day pirates wanted cold, hard cash to buy a boat.

But not just any old dinghy would do. Oh no, they had their hearts set on a brand-spanking-new Mastercraft. Because nothing says “till death do us part” like asking your guests to shell out for a luxury watercraft.
I hear the S.S. Entitlement is lovely this time of year!

9. $1,000 Entry Fee to Goldilocks’ Wedding… Because Love Ain’t Cheap!
Imagine my surprise when I opened a wedding invite that came with a price tag.
My acquaintance, let’s call her “Goldilocks,” had a very specific vision for her big day. And by vision, I mean a minimum cash gift of $1,000 per guest.
Anything less, she declared, “wouldn’t make a difference.” Oh, but it gets better.

We were instructed to label our gifts AND envelopes, lest our generous contributions go unnoticed. Heaven forbid she thank the wrong person for bankrolling her extravaganza!
I’m still trying to decide which is more breathtaking: her audacity or her math skills. Maybe I’ll send her a lovely “thank you” card for teaching me the true meaning of “gold digger!”

10. Welcome to the Wedding with Admission Fees — Get Ready to Pay for Every Slice of Cake
Hold onto your hats, folks, because this one takes the wedding cake.
Picture this: you receive a save-the-date that looks suspiciously like an itemized bill. That’s right, these creative lovebirds decided to charge admission to their “destination” nuptials.

As if jet-setting to Nowheresville wasn’t pricey enough, we now had the privilege of paying for every morsel and moment of their big day. But wait, there’s more!
Turns out, the father of the bride was the maestro behind this matrimonial money grab. Shockingly, the wedding was a disaster. Who could’ve seen that coming? I hear they’re planning a vow renewal. P.S. I’ll be busy washing my hair that decade.

She is the TV star who slept with over 700 men
The reality TV star, Belinda Love Rygier, says that her sex addiction “ruled her life” and led her to sleep with over 700 men.
She explained how she managed to overcome her addiction and have a normal life.
Belinda “Love” Rygier, who started her TV career by participating in the 2017 season of The Bachelor Australia, said that she is following a recovery program and has been out of a relationship for 15 months.
The 38-year-old woman shared that at one point in her life, she would go out six nights a week just to seek new sexual partners.
During the peak of her addiction, dating apps were not available as they are today, the Australian presenter confessed.
Confessions of a Former Sex Addict
Belinda was invited to a radio show and confessed that she “didn’t realize she had a problem until she healed from it,” according to Mirror.
“When I recovered, I was convinced that there was an unresolved trauma from my past that caused my sex addiction,” she said.
Although her sex addiction had taken over her life, the woman says she was a “functional addict,” with a successful career that operated smoothly, keeping her secrets hidden.
The TV Star says she has “lost count” of the number of men she has slept with over the years but is certain it has exceeded “the figure of 700.”
However, she said she is “not ashamed” of the number of sexual partners she has had and still has a “high sexual desire.”
“Men were very good at telling me what I wanted to hear; it was about feeling beautiful, validated, and loved, rather than making love,” she said.
Why she is now practicing sexual abstinence
Belinda continued, “Society has declined, and we use sex for the wrong reason, which is quick or momentary validation from others.”
She confessed that she can no longer engage in sexual activities without having a strong emotional connection. “I will have sex again, but with someone I have a connection with.”
The TV star is now a “love guru” on social media and often appears on media programs to offer words of wisdom to her thousands of followers.
