I'm a cambodian with a black man. He wants me to embrace my culture and incorporate where I can. He said when we get married we can combine my culture and his. I hurt for the male OP.

She sounds worse than he does.
She changed EVERYTHING. She REFUSED to even consider his health and culture.
She wants what SHE wants, and she didn't care. It's all her way or the highway. If this is the tone she is setting, what is she going to be like with other major decisions?
At first he came across as TA, but in reality, she is worse.
And Sam, if you think a live band is better than a DJ, then you have never seen an awesome DJ.

It honestly sounds like OP only mentioned her best friend being a part of the wedding and standing on her side because it wasn’t traditional and that’s what she wanted all along (or so he thought). He battled with his own family to prioritize her? And she STILL didn’t want to incorporate aspects of his culture into the wedding or immerse herself in it? No personal research? Lord smh.

33:01 The whole the fact that she didn't care about his allergies, his literal ability to breathe, on their wedding day, says everything

Its funny she thinks the wedding is traditional for America but it's not. We essentially hijacked Queen Victoria's white wedding theme because so many women loved her wedding. A traditional wedding in America was just wearing the best dress you had in your closet. I don't know about the rest of the traditions but if I had to guess they weren't as extravagant back then as they are now.

These people shouldnt be getting married. If u marry outside of ur culture then be prepared to embrace and celebrate in BOTH cultures. And why not. Theres no respect in this relationship at all from either side.

@chachiem 2 years ago

That couple should not get married.

@QuietBear-t4q 2 years ago (edited)

They shouldn’t get married because if she is already stomping out his culture can you imagine when they have kids she won’t allow them to be apart of their culture.
Edit , second story OP declining because she is not comfortable in dresses could be a sign of trauma that has caused her to be extremely uncomfortable in dresses.

@Tai_OG 2 years ago

Controversial to say, but hey it's okop. I think the guy took such a hard stand against her bff because unconsciously, he wanted to get back at her and take some control back.

@Wyren09 2 years ago

Tbf it’s a huge trope in western media where the bride is the one to plan the wedding while the groom is usually hanging out with his buds planning the bachelor party. 🤷‍♀️

@OGclasshole 2 years ago

He needs to run, fast! The wedding is just the start, eventually she won't let him have any say on how the house is decorated, how the kids are raised, or even what car he drives! Shes a control freak who doesnt consider anyone but herself and she needs to be alone until she figures it out

In regards to the woman that doesn't feel comfortable in dresses.. when I was my friend's bridesmaid she knew I don't tend to feel comfortable in dresses either, so she suggested a jumpsuit. Some bridesmaid dress companies (like the one my friend used) actually sell jumpsuit versions that are really nice. JJ's house (UK) was the website she used, she picked out a colour and us bridesmaids were free to choose whatever we felt most comfortable in 😊

My sister was a bridesmaid in my wedding. She doesn't like wearing dresses as she prefers more androgynous styles, so she wore a beautiful blazer and pant set in our colour theme. I wouldn't have had it any other way, because that is who she is, that's how she's most comfortable, and it let her enjoy the day with us. I was just happy that she was there with us, in whatever outfit she would've shown up in! My other bridesmaid did wear dresses in our colour theme too, and I let them choose a style that they would be comfortable wearing as well.

@danielharrison5026 3 months ago

She’s awful. Legit didn’t consider his health because of the aesthetic she wanted. Totally cool with him being miserable on his wedding day

@errtothebear 2 years ago

If she doesn't want to be in the wedding party and doesn't want to be in a dress, that should be the end of it. Pressuring people is controlling and disgusting.

@ronamayday 2 years ago (edited)

Story 2: the bride can’t force the bridesmaid to be uncomfortable because she wants it. If she doesn’t want to wear a dress, either let her wear something that makes her feel comfortable or choose someone else.
My MOH and bridesmaid got to choose their dresses and I only said they had to be a specific color and material.
I paid for what made them comfortable. We went to 4 different stores to find what they wanted.

I never liked wearing a dress. I’m overweight and get overly self conscious and just feel ugly in them.

@chachiem 2 years ago

I paid for our wedding. My husband paid for the vacation afterward. No one chipped in. I didn't want other people butting into our wedding planning. Everything we (my husband and i) did for our wedding were the choices we made together, and were agreed upon. Planning a wedding together is a test of compromise you'd need in a marriage.

If there's no trust, there's no relationship.

@HollyHobbieHobbit 2 years ago

The girl who declined being a bridesmaid, I can relate so much! I struggled with it a lot (feeling naked wearing dresses, crippling social anxiety, etc etc) all my life. A lot of it stems from childhood trauma I experienced. I do love dresses now, and mix up comfy, casual days and dress up days 😊
