"Some parents really enjoy the power that comes along with being a parent, but they don't have enough respect for the responsibility of being a parent" Ashley spitting straight FACTSSSSS
As a guest, your obligation to the couple is to show up as your best self and be part of good memories and good experiences of the bride and groom. My narcissistic grandmother threw a fit at my wedding and i unfortunately have never forgotten it and it colored that day for me.
Ashley's story with "well they're not special" referring to the fucking BRIDE and GROOM at their OWN WEDDING has my jaw on the floor
@20:00 "parents really enjoy the power that comes along with being a parent but they don't have enough respect for the responsibility of being a parent" ouf, preach. I see this even now with now ex-friends becoming parents and feeling above you for it and thus becoming ex-friends
As someone who recently cancelled my wedding in favor of eloping with my fiance, mainly because of parents and extended family members behaving exactly as people are in these stories (not just in the context of the wedding but life in general), this video healed me. Thank you
Yay, my favourite guest again! Honestly, I'm not very interested in wedding culture, I just like listening to you two cool people.
I regret having my sister do the photography -- not because they're bad, they're not, but she's barely in any of the photos. It almost looks like she wasn't there.
Chelsea's rant about DJs was so on point! I am so picky about them whenever I'm at a party too. BPM, actually mixing songs, all of that!
Ok, but for real, we had a Spotify playlist at our wedding and it was great: we got to choose exactly what songs we wanted and in what order in advance. Which let us spend more on feeding our guests. Zero regrets about that!
My mother acted so poorly at the very start of wedding planning, that everything was canceled 2 weeks after getting engaged. We eloped and told no one. Family really does loose the plot around weddings!
If my parent ever threatened to not come to my wedding because they wanted to control something that's my choice, I'd be like "that's fine but don't stop there. If you don't want to come to my wedding, don't come to my house, don't call me, don't come to my first child birth or anything. If our relationship means so little to you, let's end it here."
Chelsea was spitting bars today: "Parents of adult children conflate not being as bad as what they experienced, with being good."
Ashley and Chelsea thank you so much, this conversation reached far beyond the limits of wedding scenarios and reinforced for me personally a lot of the reasons why I have done or not done certain things when it comes to people money and life decisions. Well done to you both, a great piece of work.
I could have listened to the 2 of you talk for another hour about this, I love your dynamic together!
my mom is definitely a "I know you better than you know yourself" kinda person although she doesn't use that specific phrase. It took me a long time to realize that her impression of me was mostly her projecting her own aspirations onto me
been loving this series and how you tie in not only finiacial advice but perspectives on interpersonal relationships
Cutting off the wobble has me in tears. That must have been a kind wedding reception crowd because any of the weddings I’ve gone to,that would have resulted in the DJ getting jumped! 😅😂😂😂🎉
I feel lucky. I've only been to one strange wedding. The best friend of the bride was telling the bride, and anyone who would listen, that people were trying to sabotage her wedding which was not true, that was not happening. To this day, the bride believes her wedding was "ruined." It's so sad to me. Her wedding was beautiful and costly and this friend has created a false memory of the wonderful day. I'm so thankful for the small ceremony my partner and I had.
Adore just getting to sit and listen to you and Ashley talk, favorite guest!
