Susan Sarandon’s 39-year-old daughter tied the knot in a beautifully enchanting ceremony. Despite looking radiant in her glamorous corset wedding gown, the new bride has found herself at the center of strong criticism from the public regarding her ensemble. Photos and details of the joyous occasion have been shared online.
Like a page straight out of a fairytale, Eva Amurri, daughter to iconic actress Susan Sarandon and famous director Franco Amurri, wed her beloved fiancé, Ian Hock, on June 29 in a stunning garden-themed ceremony. Pictures of the bride and groom saying “I do” in New York’s Hudson Valley have prompted strong reactions from the public, especially where Eva’s dress is concerned. Opting for a more personal and intimate gathering, Eva and Ian exchanged vows in front of 40 guests. In addition to Eva’s mother, the guests included Susan’s ex, Tim Robbins. Adding a layer of sweetness to the day was the fact that the 39-year-old lifestyle blogger and actress’s children played a special role in the ceremony.
Marlowe Mae, Major James, and Mateo Antoni Martino, whom Eva shares with her ex-husband Kyle Martino, performed a traditional handfasting using ribbons they picked out themselves.
Speaking about incorporating her kids in her special day, Eva, who also shared an array of images from her big day on her Instagram Story, explained, “We really wanted to center our little family unit in all of it, and make it as much about the kids as it was about us.”
The Saga of My Husband, My Mom, and Rent: A Family Drama
Oh, the pleasures of family dynamics; those complex networks of affection, animosity, and, it seems, rent. What if I told you a small story from the front lines of my own soap opera to start things off?
Imagine this: Dad recently passed away and went to the great beyond, leaving Mom sad and alone. So, of course, I propose that she move in with us, partly out of compassion and partly out of sheer guilt. You know, to socialize with the grandchildren and take in the warmth of family.
Now enter my spouse, who has obviously been attending the “How to Be a Loving Family Man” course. His initial response was a firm no, but after some deft haggling on my part, he reluctantly agreed—but only under one condition. The worst part, get ready: my distraught mother would have to pay the rent.
You did really read correctly. Pay rent. in a home that we currently own and are not renting. Start the crying or laughing. His logic? He replied, grinning in a way that I can only characterize as evil, “Your mother is a leech.” “After she moves in with us, she won’t go.”
His reasoning continued, a train on the loose about to crash down a precipice. She simply doesn’t make sense to utilize anything for free when she will consume our food and electricity. This residence is not a hotel, and she has to know that!
With my blood boiling, I knew something was wrong. The reason for this issue is that I wedded a man who seemed to believe he was the Ritz-Carlton’s management. How daring! Here we are, with equal rights to the house, having both contributed to its acquisition, and he’s enacting capitalist regulations as if we were operating a profit-making Airbnb.
The worst part is that my spouse isn’t a horrible person. Really, no. He and my mother have simply disagreed from the beginning. He told me the truth about how he really felt the night he turned into Mr. Rent Collector. “Ever since I met her, your mother has detested me. She wouldn’t feel at ease living with me right now.
I am therefore torn between my mother, who is in great need of her daughter’s support, and my husband, whom I really love despite his imperfections. I ask you, dear reader, the million-dollar question: What should I do? In true dramatic manner. Shall I rent my mother a room or my husband’s empathy?
