Bride goes viral for asking wedding guests to leave for bringing their children to wedding
UNDATED (WKRC) - An anonymous bride is going viral after her Reddit post, asking if she was wrong in kicking out a couple and their two kids from the bride and groom's "kids-free" wedding.
According to the Reddit post, the wedding guests couple, who are long-time family friends that the bride says she "felt that I should invite" them, brought their infant and toddler children, despite the wedding invitations specifically stating that there would be no children at the wedding.
The bride says that she let is slide during the wedding ceremony, but thought that perhaps the couple had planned on not going to the receptions or having someone pick up the kids before the reception.
When the couple showed up to the reception with the children, she asked her wedding planner to go and talk to the couple regarding the plans for the children. However, the couple began arguing with the event planner, causing the bride to step in.
The bride reminded the couple that the invitations clearly stated that it would be a kids-free wedding and reception. The wife gave a "sort of apology" to the bride, saying the couple was capable of minding their own children to make sure they weren't in the way of the festivities.
Things began getting heated when the groom intervened and began arguing with the husband, prompting the bride to ask the couple to leave.
Still, the whole scene was incredibly embarrassing which is exactly what I wanted to avoid," the bride said in the Reddit post. "I really hate that my wedding day had to be somewhat marred by this incident. According to my mother, everyone was talking about it and I guess enjoying a little dramatic entertainment."
Many of the comments on the Reddit post were agreeing with the bride, however there were some comments that disagreed with the bride's decision.

Miguel and Nazanin Mandi Share Their Wedding Party Playlists
This past weekend, R&B star Miguel married his longtime girlfriend, model Nazanin Mandi. The 260-guest celebration, held at a Spanish-style estate in Los Angeles, was full of great music, starting with a wedding band curated by Miguel's cousin Mireya Ramos of the mariachi group Flor de Toloache. "Music is always going to be a part of everything we do, first and foremost," Miguel says, speaking with Rolling Stone shortly before the big day. "We really wanted the music to tell our story."
Each half of the couple also put together a personalized playlist for their day-of wedding preparations, which you can hear right here. Miguel's, which he titled "Victory Lap," is packed with classic party songs that he selected with help from his nine groomsmen.
The setlist opens with UGK and OutKast's "International Players Anthem," likely the greatest rap song about a wedding ever recorded. For Miguel, who met his future wife more than a decade ago at a music video casting call for his pre-fame single "Getcha Hands Up," it's a nod to the history they share. "I don't think there's any better, more relatable verse than André's in this song," he says. "Naz and I have been together for almost 13 years, and this sets up the journey."
The story continues with songs like the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy." "Naz and I used to ride around in my 1999 Ford Ranger truck that my dad gave me," Miguel recalls. "It had a big dent in the front, right above the left tire. We used to pull up to clubs together and hop out like we were in a Lamborghini. We came up together. ‘Juicy' is a reminder of that."
Miguel's playlist ends on a high note with Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" — "I had to end it with one of my favorite West Coast MCs of all time" — and Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." "That one's just for fun," he notes. "It's the ultimate clown song."
Mandi's playlist, meanwhile, shows off her excellent taste in rap, R&B and dance music. "I chose songs that are classic, yet very modern, which is very representative of our romance," she says. "I also chose certain songs for my girls, because I want to make them feel sexy and confident — myself included."
Along with selections from Beyoncé, Prince, Kanye West, Nineties house singer Crystal Waters, rising R&B star Sabrina Claudio and more, she chose two songs by her husband-to-be. "I mean, a wedding playlist wouldn't be complete without Miguel, the ultimate sex symbol," Mandi says. "I had to add him."

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's Potential Wedding Date Is Already Causing Drama
Three months after Nick Jonas proposed to Priyanka Chopra, the celeb lovebirds are preparing to tie the knot in India at the end of November — during what is turning out to be an incredibly busy wedding season, one that has Indian publications worrying about potential “clashes.” Draaaaama.
According to the Hindustan Times, as many as three of the entertainment industry's most famous couples are planning to tie the knot soon after Diwali: Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, actor-comedian Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath, and Jonas and Chopra. While Padukone and Singh — or DeepVeer, to use their portmanteau nickname — and Sharma and Chatrath have both officially announced their wedding dates, November 14 or 15 and December 12, respectively, Jonas and Chopra have not yet, though the Times reports that the couple's Sangeet and Mehndi services will start on November 29. So far, no problem.
Except there is an issue that has the potential to cause drama. Per popular Indian wedding website BollywoodShaadis.com, DeepVeer is having their major Mumbai reception for all of their celeb friends at the Grand Hyatt on December 1 — the same day that Jonas and Chopra are reportedly planning their ceremony at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
“Deepika-Ranveer's reception to clash with Priyanka-Nick's wedding?” reads the headline at India's The Economic Times, a sentiment expressed by numerous outlets in their coverage of the coinciding ceremonies.
So who's to blame here? Well, while DeepVeer only announced their ceremony this past Sunday, Jonas and Chopra have not yet officially revealed their wedding dates. Furthermore, DeepVeer has been engaged since January 2018 — that's six whole months longer than Jonas and Chopra (which, in young celebrity years, is equivalent to nearly three-and-a-half years in normal human time).

Kate Middleton's BFF Wore a Wedding Dress That Looked a LOT Like Hers
One of Kate Middleton's closest friends, Sophie Carter, wed Robert Snuggs at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Norfolk this past weekend at a ceremony and reception that was attended by none other than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge themselves, along with Prince George and the bride's goddaughter, Princess Charlotte.
Given that Will and Kate have maintained close connections with their small, tight-knit group of friends, it was no surprise that Charlotte was back in her familiar role as flower girl for her godmother's wedding. Prince George was also a part of the wedding party as a page boy, making this the third time the brother-sister duo has participated in a major, public wedding. And while the kids would typically steal the show at any royal—or royal adjacent—wedding, it seems that Carter's wedding dress pulled some focus from their adorable antics. Her gown looked...familiar, to say the least.
The collared, deep-V neckline of the lace bodice bore much resemblance to Kate's custom Alexander McQueen gown by Sarah Burton. But there were also some differences: rather than a full, lace-appliquéd skirt, Carter's wedding gown was a simple silk crepe; and rather than a diamond tiara from the crowned jewels, Carter donned a silk headband, and accented the look with a lace-trimmed veil.
Carter is one of Kate's closest friends, reports People. Not only do the two spend a ton of time together—and have been spotted playing tennis and out on the town together—but Carter used to date Prince William's dear friend, Thomas van Straubenzee, whose brother, Charlie van Straubenzee (a good friend of Harry's), wed Daisy Jenks this summer. Per People, Sophie's brother Robert Carter married one of Kate's friends from university, Hannah Gillingam. The two were married on April 29th, 2012; the date of Will and Kate's first anniversary. Hannah recently was honored with the role of Prince Louis' godmother.
With their long history as close friends, one would have to assume that Kate had a possible preview to Sophie's dress prior to her big day, or perhaps Sophie was simply inspired by her friend's epic royal wedding gown. Perhaps after seven years and three children, the two just didn't see the resemblance in the lead-up to Carter's big day. But, the bodice similarities do beg the question, is imitation truly the sincerest form of flattery?

Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress to go on public display
The Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress, described by aficionados as among the most elegant and minimal bridal designs in the history of royal weddings, is to go on public display.
Meghan Markle surprised the fashion world by picking the French fashion house Givenchy, but entrusted the design to Clare Waight Keller, the British artistic director for Givenchy Couture, whom she chose for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, and impeccable tailoring.
The result was a simple, white dress with distinctive boat neckline bodice and five-metre-long veil, first glimpsed by an international television audience as the bride ascended the steps at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 19 May.
The Duke of Sussex's frock coat uniform of the Household Cavalry (the Blues and Royals), specially commissioned for his wedding and made by Savile Row tailors Dege & Skinner, will also go on display.
Waight Keller worked closely with the bride on the design. The dress is made from an exclusive double-bonded silk cady, developed by Waight Keller following extensive research in fabric mills throughout Europe. Its graceful lines were achieved using six meticulously placed seams which extend towards the back of the dress where the train flows, and cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza.
The silk tulle veil is embroidered with flowers from the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, to symbolise Prince Harry's appointment as a youth ambassador for the organisation. In addition, the bride added wintersweet, which grows in the couple's Kensington Palace garden, and a California poppy, the state flower of her birthplace.
Fans of fashion and of royalty will be offered a close-up view of the wedding outfits at Windsor Castle from 26 October to 6 January, and at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, from 14 June to 6 October 2019.
The exhibition, A Royal Wedding, by the Royal Collection Trust, will also include the diamond and platinum bandeau tiara, lent by the Queen, and which will be on public display for the first time since it was designed in 1932 for the monarch's grandmother, Queen Mary.
