This is Gen Z's ultimate example.
Watch Video.
She needs more makeup.
Her voice affectation kinda leads me to believe that this video might be a hoax, made up for clicks.............
The poor man she’s marrying, at least I assume it’s a man, should take one look at that video and run far away from her.
I pity the fool that marries that self-obsessed ingrate.
I hope he (she/they/it?) sees this and changes his (her/their/its) mind...............
They will not make it past a year................
If you get to pick and choose what traditions you want to disregard (IE:Father giving away the bride) then so does your Dad. (IE: Paying for an ungrateful daughters wedding)
Agreed. I’m sure any divorce lawyer seeing this video would also say that.
I agree. If she does not want her father to walk her down the aisle, then he should not pay for it.
Her parents should send her an invoice for the cost of raising her plus hourly pay for mom and dad while they took care of her. What a snotty brat.
Seems disrespectful to refuse to let your father walk you down the aisle if he wants to do so. What a way to start off your marriage, by pissing off dad, starting family drama and hard feelings.
She can’t pronounce the letter T. “I di-int do it,”
Yuck.
It’s the bride’s day. She can do as she wishes. And yes, I certainly get why the father would be hurt here.
In cases like these, it’s important that no one burn any bridges. And since the father is older (and wiser), I hope he’ll be more understanding.
A situation just as minor as this one tore my family in half. Too many bridges were burned too early. No one chose to be the bigger person.
It's the father's money. End of story.
“If you get to pick and choose what traditions you want to disregard (IE:Father giving away the bride) then so does your Dad. (IE: Paying for an ungrateful daughters wedding)”
I started my own traditions with my 3 daughters weddings. The first was that their wedding present was a large check that they could use to pay for an expensive wedding, or for an inexpensive one and keep the remainder. Everyone seemed happy with that deal. The second tradition was after I walked them down the aisle and handed over to the groom I said “No Give-backs”.
You don’t believe a wedding is the bride’s day? Her wishes should take precedence.
Yes, the father is usually footing the bill. And he has every right to withdraw his money for whatever reason. Or for no reason at all. But absent a huge problem, the father should be the bigger person. And I don’t see a huge problem here.
As I noted earlier, something similar happened in my family. Everyone involved got out their entrenching tools, and dug in. “It was the principle of the thing.”
Now half my family will not talk to the other half. Old folks have died while angry at each other. All over something minor. But, yeah. It was the principle of the thing.
So, you believe that a self-absorbed daughter is entitled to whatever type of wedding she wants and that her father is somehow obligated to pay the bill?
If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny. She says she's independent but needs her dad to pay the bill. The girl has typical liberal thinking, "I have the right to spend other people's money any way I like." She's going to learn the hard way that the world (and her father) doesn't revolve around her.
> So, you believe that a self-absorbed daughter is entitled to whatever type of wedding she wants and that her father is somehow obligated to pay the bill? <
I think it’s a matter of degree. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough about that. If a self-absorbed daughter (and this one certainly is self-absorbed) asked for something insane, then the father would have good reason to back out.
For example, suppose the daughter wanted to get married in a satanic ceremony? That’s insane. I could certainly see a father refusing to fund that.
Don’t get me wrong. The daughter is off-base here. But not so much that the father should risk losing her. Better that the father bends a little, and give her her day. And hope with time the daughter grows up.
Usually about once a quarter I remind my daughter of the golden rule” “He with the gold rules.” And since I’m the one with the gold she’ll do it my way or figure out how to pay for something herself.
That girl in the video will be hell to live with.....................
