Debate erupts over groom's unconventional footwear choice

<p>In what seems to be a picture perfect wedding, eagle-eyed social media users spotted one odd detail. </p> <p>The couple were snapped standing at the altar, and while everything else about their outfit seemed flawless, one Reddit user called the groom out for wearing black Crocs and black socks to his wedding. </p> <p>“Imagine you get ready for three hours and your groom shows up in Crocs,” the user said. </p> <p>“Crocs would be a legit reason to say no at the altar,” another wrote, before adding: <span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">“Crocs are a valid reason to not date someone. They are horrible.”</span></p> <p>“He’s wearing a suit, maybe he has a problem with his feet that he can’t wear proper footwear,” a third commented</p> <p>“Surely no one, no matter how casual in style, voluntarily leaves the house in Crocs?”</p> <p>However many other social media users were quick to defend the wedding faux pas, with some saying that they wish they had done the same thing at their own weeding. </p> <p>“He probably has an injured foot or broken toe. He’s perfectly groomed (a pun) otherwise and obviously tried to camouflage his socks and crocs with his attire," one sympathised. </p> <p>“Ya I have really severe diabetic neuropathy in my feet, especially my toes. Doctor actually suggested Crocs as they have extra space and don’t restrict movement," another added.</p> <p>“I wore flip flops under my dress. I hate heels with a passion,” a third wrote. </p> <p>"He's wearing a nice suit, matching dark socks so I'm not seeing an issue here as he probably has some kind of foot or back injury or pain. If I were marrying him this wouldn't bother me," added a fourth. </p> <p>“Let the man get married in something comfortable. My wife could have shown up in a potato sack barefoot for all I cared, she is there to marry me, not for a fashion show," a fifth defended. </p> <p><em>Image: Reddit</em></p> <p> </p>

Mother-of-the-groom slammed for “wildly inappropriate” wedding dress

<p dir="ltr">A woman has caused quite the commotion over her outfit choice for her son’s big day, with one member of the family even taking to social media to find out how others felt about it. </p> <p dir="ltr">And while the story gained the most traction a year later, people had plenty to contribute to the conversation with it was shared to Reddit, with the majority of the opinion that the mother-of-the-groom had made a major wedding day faux pas. </p> <p dir="ltr">The post opened with a picture of the dress, an off-white floor length floral gown, with the text “MOG dress at my sister’s wedding” across the bottom of the image. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Surely they can’t be serious,” one user wrote after stumbling across the story on the internet forum, “absolutely not”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“First two words out [of] my mouth too. Absolutely not,” another agreed. </p> <p dir="ltr">When one announced that it looked just like a wedding dress to them, someone else chimed in to add that “she even did the photo of it hanging from the door that you often see in bridal ‘getting ready’ photos.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“You have to live on Mars not to realise this is entirely inappropriate,” one said. “I would have been pissed.”</p> <p dir="ltr">And as someone else put it, “I mean, if the theme is ‘everyone wear a wedding dress’ then she nailed it. If it’s literally any other wedding theme this is absolutely wildly inappropriate”.</p> <p dir="ltr">A member of the family eventually stumbled across the post, and swooped in to assure everyone that it had not been a joke, and to inform them that the mother-in-law had ended up wearing the dress in question. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I just stumbled across this subreddit and wanted to hear everyone’s opinion,” she said, “because my sister and I thought she was crazy for wearing it!”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Yikes on bikes,” someone said in response, before asking the questions on everyone’s minds, “what is her relationship with her son like? What was your sister’s relationship with her like before the wedding? What is it like now? Please spill ALL the tea!”</p> <p dir="ltr">And luckily for them, the woman was happy to oblige, sharing that the groom had been “the oldest of 5 and the last boy to get married. </p> <p dir="ltr">“They’re a close family and they all get along with my sister, before and after the wedding! She’s a super sweet lady but it was just such an odd choice and came out of left field.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Reddit</em></p>

Authorities claimed the 25-year-old was driving at 104km/h in a 40km/h zone and reportedly only hit the breaks of her Toyota Camry right before the crash.</p> <p>Ms Komoroski told police she had consumed a tequila shot and one beer an hour prior, but refused to take a field sobriety test following the collision. A blood test was later conducted at a hospital, the results of which have not been released.</p> <p>In a statement to <em>Fox News</em>, Ms Komoroski's lawyers urged the public not to “rush to judgement”.</p> <p>Ms Miller’s mother Lisa revealed her heartbreaking final exchange with her beloved daughter.</p> <p>Speaking to <em>WCIV</em>, Lisa Miller said that “on the beginning of the golf car ride, [Samantha] said, ‘I wish this night could go on forever.’”</p> <p>“[It was] the best night of her life,” she added.</p> <p>Ms Miller said she was unaware of “what the distraction was” that caused the accident, but Ms Komoroski “literally ran into my daughter going 65 miles an hour”.</p> <p>“Sammie and Aric were on the back of the golf cart and so she basically just whammed into my child.”</p> <p>The bride’s sister, Mandi Jenkins, told <em>WCIV</em>, “That person made a careless mistake. And it’s not a mistake. It is a life-changing event,”</p> <p>“I never thought it would happen to us and to my beautiful sister, your beautiful daughter and all the 150 people that were there.”</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram/GoFundMe</em></p>

Groom accused of ‘copying’ wedding speech from popular Pinterest post

<p dir="ltr">Footage from an influencer couple’s wedding has gone viral for the wrong reasons.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jadé Tuncdoruk, 27, and Lachie Brycki, 29 tied the knot at Krinklewood Vineyard in the Hunter Valley last October.</p> <p dir="ltr">Tuncdoruk posted a TikTok of unseen footage from her husband’s wedding speech, which now has over 10 million views and a lot of comments accusing Brycki of ‘copying’ part of his speech.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Still can't believe I get to call this man my husband," Tuncdoruk captioned the TikTok.</p> <p dir="ltr">The clip showed Brycki telling his wife: "When I say I love you more, I don't mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us. I love you more than any fight we will ever have."</p> <p dir="ltr">“I love you more than the distance between us; I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us,” Brycki added through tears.</p> <div><iframe title="tiktok embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2Fembed%2Fv2%2F7209976950939503873&display_name=tiktok&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40jadetunchy%2Fvideo%2F7209976950939503873&image=https%3A%2F%2Fp16-sign-sg.tiktokcdn.com%2Fobj%2Ftos-alisg-p-0037%2FoEYIEikiDeAq7DBgQRVnQqX2vmeStHkdiBFbB9%3Fx-expires%3D1679025600%26x-signature%3Dvbyp8NNEtpQaqo3t0%252FBlReUIVjM%253D&key=5b465a7e134d4f09b4e6901220de11f0&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=tiktok" width="340" height="700" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Some of Tuncdoruk’s followers were quick to point out that Brycki had used parts of a popular poem written by Erin Nicole, which has been posted all over Pinterest.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Why do I feel like I've heard this before?" commented one user.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I know people are saying let it go, but as a wedding vow, it needs to be personal. Copying the entire speech from a poem would make me feel loved less,” commented another user.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Pretty sure I heard that ‘I love you more bit’ on Pinterest. Thought that counts though," wrote a third.</p> <p dir="ltr">However, many others have shared their support for the couple and defended Brycki’s actions, acknowledging how hard it is to write a wedding speech.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Maybe writing original words wasn't his forte but he found words that expressed what he felt? And it's clearly genuine, look at him tearing up,” commented one user.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I think just because they aren't his words doesn't take away from the meaning of what he said. He clearly resonated with the poem and meant every word he said - his words or not,” wrote another.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He explained his love in words so so well. Just beautiful,” wrote a third.</p> <p><em>Images: TikTok</em></p>

Groom slammed for arriving to his wedding in a coffin

<p>A groom has been blasted online for his "disrespectful" decision to be carried into his wedding ceremony in a coffin, which was hoisted up to the altar by his future wife's bridesmaids. </p> <p>The unnamed groom's bizarre entrance was captured on video by a wedding guest, as the man was carted up the aisle at his outdoor ceremony in a black casket, with two bridesmaids leading the eerie procession, while being helped by several groomsmen. </p> <p>The video, which was shared to TikTok, garnered a whopping 8.2 million views and although it didn't reveal the reactions of the bride, it certainly struck an unhappy chord with viewers, who were quick to blast the newlywed man's actions.</p> <div class="embed" style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none !important;"><iframe class="embedly-embed" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 617px; max-width: 100%; outline: none !important;" title="tiktok embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2Fembed%2Fv2%2F7163074385551641898&amp;display_name=tiktok&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40tobz88%2Fvideo%2F7163074385551641898&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fp19-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com%2Fobj%2Ftos-useast5-p-0068-tx%2F6a5088edd5ab487b8c7f275ebee96326%3Fx-expires%3D1668553200%26x-signature%3DqdJJryU9a0IV5csE4DedsXQauf4%253D&amp;key=59e3ae3acaa649a5a98672932445e203&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=tiktok" width="340" height="700" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <p>The wedding guest shared the video along with the song Rest In Peace by Dorothy, while adding the caption, "Tell me you're dramatic without telling me you're dramatic.</p> <p>"They also wrote, "Is this a funeral?

ABC accused of "grooming" children after drag queen appearance

<p>The ABC has come under fire after a famous drag queen appeared on a children's program. </p> <p>Liberal Senator Alex Antic accused the public broadcaster of "grooming" kids, after Courtney Act, whose real name is Shane Jenek, appeared on <em>Play School </em>to read a book about a girl who wanted to wear pants instead of dresses. </p> <p>“The program was rated G and has been heavily promoted on TV and on the app. Why is the ABC grooming children with this sort of adult content,” Senator Antic said on Tuesday. </p> <p>He also the program was encouraging "gender dysphoria" by having the drag queen appear at all. </p> <p>Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young refuted his claims, suggesting it was an entirely inappropriate use of term "grooming". </p> <p>“Heavens above – girls wearing pants. That is the level of rubbish you are putting forward,” Senator Hanson-Young said.</p> <p>The book in question, <em>The Spectacular Suit</em> by Kat Patrick, is about a young girl who feels more comfortable wearing pants than a party dress to her friend's birthday. </p> <p>Senator Antic said, “Cross dressing. Let me ask you this, does ABC agree that transgender or cross dressing are adult concepts?”</p> <p>ABC managing director David Anderson rejected the assertion, responding, “Senator, I don’t see that as grooming children with our content.”</p> <p>The Senator doubled down on his stance, saying the book was "deeply, deeply offensive” and that the ABC should face repercussions for "grooming".</p> <p>Grooming traditionally refers to when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. </p> <p>But that characterisation was entirely wrong and offensive in the context of a children's story about a girl who likes to wear pants, Senator Hanson-Young said. </p> <p>“Grooming is a really serious matter! It is not for being played with by conservative senators to make headlines,” she replied</p> <p>“Sexual assault survivors right around this country will be deeply offended, deeply offended by you playing politics.”</p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram</em></p>

Blackout bungle sees sisters marry the wrong grooms

<p>Two sisters have accidentally married the wrong grooms during their joint wedding, as a power cut caused a confusing blackout. </p> <p>The ceremony was happening in the village of Aslana in Madhya Pradesh state, India, when the unfortunate blackout wreaked havoc with the proceedings.</p> <p>During the confusion, the priest continued to read out the marriage rites, but accidentally confused the couples. </p> <p>The brides’ father Ramesh Lal suggested the priest may have been confused since the two women were both in red dresses with veils over their faces.</p> <p>When the mistake was realised, it was later rectified. </p> <p>Blackouts and power cuts have been more common in India, as unusually high temperatures continue to tear through the country. </p> <p>These surging temperatures have seen a surge in demand for energy, with many companies resorting to intermittent power cuts in order to cope with the demand. </p> <p>More than a billion people across south Asia are facing a record-breaking heat wave which leaves them "gasping in whatever shade they find".</p> <p>Temperatures in northern India<a id="mol-de96b2e2-d097-11ec-861e-fba9b27a3e26" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/pakistan/index.html"> </a>have spiked to 47C as neighbouring Pakistan suffered its hottest March for 61 years.</p> <p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in April, "Temperatures are rising rapidly in the country, and rising much earlier than usual."</p> <p><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

Bitter groom sells ex-fiancée’s dress in angry post

Groom moved to tears by step-daughter's emotional declaration

<p>A 12-year-old girl has found a way to make her mother's wedding all the more special. </p> <p>Just moments before her mother, Tia, was set to marry her soon-to-be husband Frank, 12-year-old Aryanna stepped onto the altar for a touching declaration. </p> <p>While all the guests knew what Aryanna had in store, the groom was the only one who was in the dark about what the girl was planning. </p> <p>When handing him an envelope, Aryanna said, “I’ve waited 2,555 days for this moment. Frank, will you be my dad?”</p> <p>Tyson teared up after hearing the question, immediately saying yes before embracing Aryanna into a hug.</p> <p>The significance of the 2,555 days is because that's the length of time Aryanna felt Tyson was already her father, having spent that number of days with her mum, Tia. </p> <p>In a video that was shared after the nuptials, the officiant of the ceremony said, “It was always a joke that Aryanna was going to get Frank’s last name before Tia.”</p> <p>Tyson also shared his feelings on the moment in a confessional style video after the wedding, explaining, “When she came up to the altar, I thought I knew what was about to happen and then as she started talking obviously I knew.”</p> <p>“It was an amazing feeling. When she started reading her note and it all clicked, I just pretty much became speechless,” Tyson said, before reflecting on what the future holds.</p> <p>“The most I’m looking forward to is just her being her. Her being the social butterfly and becoming into a woman and who she is and just being herself: a strong, independent woman, is what I love most and just being a successful person.”</p> <p>Tia, Frank and Aryanna are now waiting on a court date to make their new family official. </p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VLqObqwVNPg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><em>Image credits: NBC</em></p>
