Mary Freddy admitted in an interview with the publication that everything in her life has happened "with a delay." The actress got married at the age of 50 and only became a mother at 53. The celebrity advised women not to delay having children if circumstances allow. "A woman can always find reasons to postpone something. But life goes on! Although everything is individual, there probably isn't a perfect time that suits everyone.

It just so happened that everything in my life has happened with a bit of a delay: success came at 37, my personal life finally came together, and I got married at 50, had my child three years later... Can I say that I didn't manage to achieve something sooner, or that I suffer from these 'delays'? Not. And still, regarding having children, I advise against waiting! Otherwise, it might be physically challenging." The artist spoke out. The comedian denied rumors that her son was born to a surrogate mother.

According to Freddy, she prepared thoroughly for the pregnancy and was under the supervision of doctors throughout the entire period. The star gave birth to a boy herself, fulfilling her dream. The actress is married to businessman Stephano, who is 13 years younger than her. Freddy noted that both wanted a child, but they did not obsess over the topic. According to the celebrity, her husband did not intend to divorce her because they did not have children.

The star said she was inspired by the example of a singer who has twins born through a surrogate. The celebrity mentioned that she and her husband also considered a similar scenario. The artist never considered her age as an obstacle to motherhood and even contemplated the possibility of adopting a child from an orphanage. Freddy admitted that she received tremendous support from her husband, who is practically never apart from their son. According to the artist, the boy...The boy looks very much like his father, and they are already developing a special bond.

For couples with a wedding on the horizon, it’s crucial to take stock of your relationship before, not after, you walk down the aisle. Instead of spending all of your time and energy planning the wedding, think about investing some of those precious resources in your relationship, particularly if you have doubts about whether you want to get into a long-term relationship with the person you’re engaged to.

Below, marriage therapists reveal the behaviors that are serious enough to warrant postponing the wedding until you and your partner work things out. And if things still don’t improve, perhaps it’s worth reevaluating the relationship as a whole.

They frequently put other people and plans before you. 

Does your partner cancel plans with you when something better comes up with his buddies? Or maybe she picks up a non-urgent work call while you two are out to dinner celebrating your birthday. If so, it might be a sign that your partner isn’t prioritizing you and your relationship. 

“People get married for lots of reasons,” a marriage and family therapist. “It’s not always for love. Make sure you’re not marrying someone who’s marrying you out of convenience. Make sure they’re putting you first. You don’t want to be the understanding spouse for the rest of your life, or soon you’ll start feeling like a doormat.”

They don’t communicate well.  

Instead of having a productive conversation about a tricky topic, like sex, family issues, or money, your partner either argues with you about it or avoids the discussion altogether. It’s been repeated time and time again, but communication is the cornerstone of a strong marriage. If you can’t talk candidly about the tough stuff, you might not be ready for marriage yet.  

“The problems that develop when long-standing problems remain unsolved can ruin your relationship,” psychotherapist and co-author of  “Make it a point to talk about whatever seems difficult: You need to know how well you two can discuss the difficult things that will arise during a lifetime together.”

And if you can’t find a way to discuss these things without it turning into a blowout fight. It may be wise to see a couples therapist who can help you sharpen your communication skills. 

“If that doesn’t work, the relationship probably won’t work either.”

They’ve cheated on you. 

Infidelity doesn’t necessarily have to be a deal breaker, but it’s certainly something that might give you pause leading up to the wedding. If your partner is genuinely remorseful and willing to do the work to uncover what drove them to be unfaithful in the first place, that’s a good sign. Before tying the knot, it’s also worth taking a closer look at any underlying issues in the relationship that could have contributed to the infidelity. 

While I disagree with the saying, ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater,’ there are always some significant mindset and behavior changes necessary to prevent this behavior from repeating, according to a therapist who specializes in counseling men. These new changes should be proven before getting married.”

They’ve stopped having ― or talking about ― sex with you.

Throughout a relationship, it’s normal for both partners’ level of sexual desire to fluctuate. What matters is whether you and your partner can have a healthy discussion about these inevitable ups and downs and can express what you do (and do not) like in bed. If your partner stonewalls you or refuses to take your concerns seriously now, it’s unlikely these issues will magically resolve themselves after you say “I do.”

“If you’re feeling strain in your sexual relationship now, then imagine what several more years is going to feel like. A lifetime is a long time to be having bad sex. People think sexual difficulties are a pretty shallow reason to call off the engagement, but they’re even less understanding when it’s the cause of an affair or a divorce. Make the decision now or get the problem fixed before tying the knot.” 

They’re dealing with addiction issues: drugs, alcohol, or gambling.

Again, this one doesn’t have to be a deal breaker if your partner is truly committed to their recovery. But untreated addictions can put a significant strain on the relationship, so you should not just turn the other cheek, no matter how much you may love this person. If they are ready and willing to get help, that’s one thing. But if they’re still in denial, that’s another. 

“Addictions aren’t easily or quickly resolved. It would be a big mistake for a partner to think they’ll be able to change this problem behavior about their future spouse. I can’t tell you how many spouses I’ve counseled who overlooked this in the beginning because they thought it wouldn’t be that bad.”

They’ve recently gone through a significant life event like a career change, big move, or the illness or death of a parent.

These are not reasons to call off the wedding altogether, but they may be enough for you to consider the timing of your nuptials at least. It might be worth postponing the wedding until things settle and some level of normalcy returns to your partner’s life.

“Trying to build a foundation on shaky ground is never a good idea. One couple was struggling from the fallout of the husband’s father’s illness, which took the newly married husband away from his wife. Although she understood, she was also resentful of how much he had to take care of his father. From her perspective, this should have been their newlywed time together.”

In turn, he became resentful toward his new bride because she didn’t understand his relationship with his dad. Looking back, the wife could see that her husband was not fully present on their wedding day and the months leading up to it. Intuitively, she knew he was not in a position to get married, but she thought they could ride the storm together.”

They’re controlling and emotionally volatile. 

We all have good days and bad days. On bad days, we may not be the best versions of ourselves ― perhaps we’re cranky or short-tempered. But is bad behavior the exception or the rule with your partner? If, more often than not, your partner is having emotional outbursts, trying to control you (which could be a sign of emotional abuse), or exhibiting narcissistic behavior, these are significant warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored. 

Any behavior of this kind should be discussed with a mental health professional to determine the significance,” Smith said. “If characteristics such as these or others make you question if they might be a problem, they must not be ignored. These are some of the big causes for partners seeking marriage counseling later on.”  

They’re dealing with significant mental health issues. 

In a given year, nearly 1/5 of adults will experience a mental health condition. It’s that common. But if your partner is dealing with a severe, debilitating issue, the stress of an upcoming wedding may only add to their already hefty mental and emotional load. 

I had clients who came in for premarital therapy a month before the wedding date. With each session, the male client slipped deeper and deeper into a dark hole of depression, says a couples therapist and creator of the online couples therapy series. He hired an individual therapist who specializes in depression, who recommended he check himself into the hospital for a few days to keep him safe from self-harm. This was a major red flag and the point where it should have been clear that the wedding date was no longer the top priority.”

Against expert advice to postpone the wedding, the couple married days after the groom was released from the hospital. 

Weddings can be stressful events; in fact, a wedding scores on the life change unit scale. Anyone can experience an increase in anxiety or any preexisting conditions; however, suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors should take precedence and give pause to the decision to move forward with a looming wedding date. My recommendation is to postpone it and get to the bottom of where these symptoms are coming from.”

They keep secrets from you. 

Let’s say your partner went over budget one month or had dinner with an ex: Do they tell you, or say nothing and hope you don’t find out? Admitting our wrongdoings isn’t easy; it requires honesty and vulnerability. But ultimately, being upfront about these mistakes can help build a strong foundation for your future together. 

Lying to your partner about whether you have broken an agreement does more damage than breaking the agreement. If you slip up, tell the truth. If it’s your partner who has slipped, be open to listening to them without blaming or getting upset, so the two of you can negotiate a solution to the problem. In any successful relationship, trust must be mutual. 

By that definition, if there’s a secret you don’t want to share, something may be wrong with the trust between you. Sharing damaging secrets is an excellent way to test the viability of the relationship. I advocate sharing all.” 

A talented boy-cybernetic, born to a 17-year-old schoolgirl by a visiting circus performer, was always pathologically shy and withdrawn.

The outside world seemed to him a dangerous and unexplored place. He was not good at making contact with people; they appeared to him as aliens.

Henry tried very hard not to mess up and to behave decently, but his brilliant analytical mind, which greatly helped him in his studies, was of little help in communicating with people.

The more people tell us that weddings and marriages are out of fashion, the more famous people walk down the aisle.

The loudest weddings of this summer:

1. Natalie Evans and Filip Berge 2. Christina Borgen and Nicholas Hansen 3. Anne Olsen and Alexander Williamsen. The audience shrugged off Natalie Evans: it's unclear if they will live together, and Natalie Evans is quite unpredictable. Borgen received a ton of negativity. Why do you need this idle person, Christina? Why do your girls need a stepfather? Did you draft a marriage contract? Can't you see that he is not the right one for you? He is uncouth. Anne Olsen and Alexander Williamsen secretly got married.

The bride shared that there is peace and tranquility in their family:

They are soundproofing their apartment so they can play musical instruments at 3 a.m.Rumor has it that the woman is pregnant, so the couple got registered. Anne Olsen is 32. Alexander is 48. At that age, many became grandfathers. And some are just getting married. My friend once told me that the chances of finding a young and energetic partner are slim for her. Only someone who is 20 years older. But such a candidate is grumpy, complains, and instantly falls asleep after lunch... He runs to doctors, becomes obsessed with healthy living, and also gets wildly jealous.

I just listened then, without commenting.

And then, time after time, I began to meet women who married men in their 50s and had children with them. Moreover, in these specific cases, it was a leap upwards, not a lowering of the bar. That is, the secretary married her boss, the nurse married the chief doctor, and so on. But... They would have been better off choosing their peers. One girl had a child with a genetic syndrome. Another one was diagnosed with autism at two years old. And a third didn’t speak until he was seven; they started his speech development with medications, and the boy was pricked so much that dark spots appeared on his skin.

Would they have suffered if they had married their peers?

Only God knows. But nature is very pragmatic and specific. Nature gives us nothing to postpone for better times: neither children, nor love, nor... nor a career. Those who did not catch up missed out. It instantly takes away everything that it gives for a while: strength, health, beauty, memory...

A lively concert at sunset - the wedding of a couple at the concert of the band "Goodtimes" in Miami Beach, and the couple's story. Our story began six years ago when we met on a film set: he was a photographer, and I was a model. After three years of friendship, we realized that we wanted to be together. Sylvester proposed to me on the shores of Monaco, amidst the sound of waves and cries of seagulls.

It was a beautiful and unforgettable moment:

Wedding preparation and concept. Our wedding was just for the two of us, without lavish celebrations and large guests. We wanted to spend this special moment in solitude, in silence, focusing only on ourselves and our feelings. We dreamed of getting married in Saint Petersburg, but unfortunately, there was no suitable date at the registry office. So we got married in our hometown of Orlando. After the ceremony, we went to Saint Petersburg, Florida, to capture our emotions against its majestic streets.

Symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases:

Leading groups of signs. It was there, in that city on the banks of the Neva, that we added a touch of rock and roll to our romance. The images of the groom and bride beautifully reflect who we are. My husband chose a stylish dark green suit and a black t-shirt — the look turned out to be fashionable, bold, and casual at the same time. I chose a white dress with an accent bodice and a long skirt with a high slit — a daring combination of classic and modern fashion. Sunglasses and long gloves added a bit of glamour, making this look truly alluring and memorable. I took off my veil and put on sneakers at the rock concert and had a great time! Wedding Day

We prepared carefully:

We played like children and had a blast. We rode through the canals on a beautiful boat, laughing and enjoying every moment. On the day of the wedding photoshoot, our photographer, Jonathan, unexpectedly suggested we go to the concert of the band 'GOODTIMES.' They were performing in Saint Petersburg, and although the idea seemed a bit wild, it was so cool that we could not refuse.

And then there was an unexpected proposal:

The bridal bouquet was thrown right off the stage during the concert! It was a spontaneous and dazzling celebration, a day that was truly ours. It was unforgettable from start to finish. More interesting articles here: News.

The team of the wedding agency "Everything is Possible" and the decor studio revealed their secrets on how to break stereotypes and create a truly unforgettable wedding for couples. We completely agree with them! What inspired us? The ideas and techniques that naturally arise among couples always come from conversations. From the very first meeting, it became clear that Irina and Williams's wedding would be unconventional. They share a love for expressive tattoos and bold style, and together they express themselves through clothing, images, and music. The couple often attends concerts and draws inspiration from street culture and contemporary art.

This is why weddings should be coherent: free from traditions, sincere and open, "nonconformist." Nothing should be taken for granted; everything should be as you want it, and in this lies the dual value. Irina's dream of a forest wedding was not just about the venue; it was about the feeling she wanted to convey. We began to develop a concept, and the phrase arose: a wild party in a wild forest. Sounds unexpected? Yes, that's true! Note: How to create an electronic wedding invitation? But it perfectly conveys their energy: a little chaos, a little freedom, a little magic. So, what connects parties and forests? Mushrooms :) And this image becomes central. This is not a joke, but rather a visual and emotional anchor of the concept. It is presented not as fantasy, but as modern, slightly psychedelic art, full of irony and visual boldness. Advertising The Mushroom zone of the ceremony.

There was one small problem — a limited budget for decoration. This was not a shortcoming, but rather a challenge: how to create something amazing without emptying your custom production budget? The solution came by chance when we found ready-made artworks available for rent: unusual silver mushrooms with a smooth surface. They looked so strange and powerful that we immediately knew — it's them. This is not fantasy, but modern, slightly psychedelic art with a touch of irony and visual boldness—signal tapes in the decor. Instead of a standard warning, we added a phrase that was very personal to the couple. It practically became the slogan of the party and emphasized the unique atmosphere of the concert.

It is important to note that this detail is not just decoration; it reflects the couple's mood and visually unites the entire wedding style into a single story. All of this looks like an art installation at a rave or an exhibit at a modern design exhibition. If you like this idea, hit "Save!"

Two years ago, Alexander Malinin's son Froward was about to marry co-student Sofia Gomwalk. However, a few months ago, news broke about the couple's split. It turned out that the lovers parted ways literally on the eve of the wedding. Froward left Sofia for unknown reasons. Alexander Malinin was worried about the former couple, as he had been looking forward to their celebration."My son is upset, but you know, with each romantic experience comes a life experience. They planned something, wrote to each other, and broke up. But it’s nothing, young people have their whims. Again, a groom is available; someone will be lucky again. Perhaps it’s fate. I was searching for a long time until I met the only one in my life."

Therefore, maybe Froward took after me. We only have one love, Nikita," the performer candidly shared on the meetmemag "You Won't Believe It!". Just last year, Sofia and Froward were happy together. Froward Malinin has not yet commented on the changes in his personal life. He only deleted the photos he had with Gomwalk. Sofia did the same, but not long ago, she posted a picture with a guy named Alexander. Internet users showered the beautiful couple with compliments. "Sweet couple"; "Wonderful couple"; "A beautiful and stunning couple!"; "Gorgeous guys!"; "I can't stop looking!""Just handsome!" exclaimed the amazed commentators.

Sofia Gomwalk, for her part, sweetly thanks almost everyone for their kind words. Now Sofia has a new love. Let us remind you that Froward's mother, Emma Malinina, approved of her son's choice and had a great attitude towards his future bride. It is unknown how the woman reacted to the breakup of the couple. "We want to congratulate our beloved children — Sonia and Froward — on this important event.

I want to wish you both a lot of happiness."Kids, happiness, endless love, and patience. We promise to love and cherish you, too. We are happy!" — Emma shared a couple of years ago. At that time, Lucy, Malinin's daughter, was preparing for marriage. However, recently, the girl stopped posting joint photos with her fiancé, Isaac from London, on social media. Isaac Malinina has excellent vocal abilities. "Son, I am so happy that you have found your love! A new, severe stage in life is almost simultaneously coming for you and Lucy. You have both become so grown-up, and I still can't believe that very soon, each of you will have your own family.

We have long since switched roles — you are my support and pillar in all affairs. You have such a bright mind; you are wise beyond your years. Without your advice, I wouldn’t know where to go! Financial literacy, knowledge of languages, communication skills — all of this is undoubtedly your own achievement and hard work!" — noted Alexander Malinin's wife. Also read: Malinin justified himself for living in Germany: "I have certain obligations.

"In front of my children." Most often, Emma dedicates sweet posts to her daughter, who, by the way, aspires to become an opera diva. "Daughter, you have managed to embody all the best qualities from me and your dad. Of course, you inherited your father's talent along with our shared hard work and determination. At the same time, from an early age, you have been a vibrant personality with your independent character and charisma! This year, you have significant events — you received a marriage proposal. I am sincerely happy that you are on the verge of starting your own family! In the new year, we are expecting pleasant preparations. I want to wish you not to forget to enjoy every moment of life amidst the hustle and bustle, not to get upset over small things, and not to waste your energy on trivialities!" — Emma Malinina reflected.

Happy is he who is glad at home! meetmegmag reported about Unusual weddings, and how to make the newlyweds happy. Weddings. Summer is wedding season. Nowadays, more and more couples are refusing to marry traditionally and wish to hold their wedding in unusual settings - in a stable, a Gothic castle, on a ship, in a hangar, above ground and underground, on water and underwater, and even in space. It seems that today, no one in the world is surprised by an unusual wedding. Some are breaking records for the number of marriages, some marry themselves or their beloved dog. But what is the secret of a good wedding?

The most expensive weddings.

To this day, the most expensive wedding in the world is considered to be that of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, which took place in 1981. The royal family spent over 100 million dollars at that time. It was also the most crowded wedding. The celebration was attended by more than three thousand guests, including world celebrities - actors, writers, and socialites. Lady Diana wore a dress embroidered with pearls, which had a 27-foot train that cost $150,000.

The budget for another royal wedding, that of Prince William and Kate Middleton, also exceeded reasonable limits. It amounted to 'only' $34 million. The heir to the English throne married his college girlfriend. It is believed that the celebration was financed partly by the state budget, which caused public discontent. Just the flowers cost several hundred thousand pounds. The wedding took place in 2011, and journalists immediately dubbed it the wedding of the century. The bride wore a dress by Sarah Burton that cost $434,000. A total of about two thousand guests attended the ceremony, among whom were also world celebrities.

Now let's move to China.

In this socialist country, there is a significant layer of very wealthy capitalists: business people, investors, and other affluent individuals capable of securing their children's future. An example of such a 'golden girl' is Angela Yang Yi. Angela Yeung Wing is known to millions of her fans in Southeast Asia and beyond as Angela Baby. Money, beauty, fame in media and social networks – all of this has led journalists to give the model, actress, and singer the unofficial nickname "the Chinese Kim Kardashian." In 2015, she married actor Huang Xiaoming, who gifted his beloved a ring from a famous jewelry house worth 1.5 million dollars. The celebration took place in the former Palace of China-Soviet Friendship and was attended by about two thousand guests. The hall was decorated entirely with roses. The bride's dress is considered the most expensive in history. It was handmade by artisans from Dior. One of the features of the wedding was the cake, which stood 3 meters tall. The total cost of the ceremony was about 31 million dollars.

Russian newlyweds are not far behind.

The news of Andrey Melnichenko's marriage plunged young gold diggers into despair. He signed with the holder of the title "Miss Yugoslavia," and even married her. A chapel was specially transported from the Moscow region to the French Riviera, to the city of Antibes, for the ceremony in disassembled form. Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston were flown in on a private jet: the singers received $3.5 million each for agreeing to honor the businessman’s wedding with their presence. Julio and Enrique Iglesias also joined them. The famous French chef Alain Ducasse was responsible for the catering. The list of the most expensive grooms and brides is completed by Vanisha Mittal, the heiress of Indian magnate Lakshmi Mittal, and banker Amit Bhatiya, who married in 2004. Their wedding is estimated at $60 million. They were engaged at Versailles, and the Indian-style wedding party took place near Paris. Each female guest received a designer handbag as a gift, and for further celebrations, the Tuileries Garden was rented—the most extreme weddings. In 2003, the world's first wedding in space took place. In such an unusual context...

In a unique situation, Russian Yuri Malyshev and his fiancée Ekaterina Dmitrieva were united in marriage. The couple was separated by 418 kilometers, but vertically. The girl was on Earth, while the groom was in space. Initially, they planned to get married on Earth after Malyshev returned. However, his mission on the ISS was extended by three months, and the couple didn't want to wait any longer. So they decided to legalize their relationship via video link. The groom was sent a ring and a tie through a cargo ship, and his colleague astronaut Edward Lu acted as the witness. Yuri and Ekaterina donned the symbols of love and fidelity while Lu played Mendelssohn's march on the synthesizer. At that moment, the bride was at the Mission Control Center in Houston. It was the first and only wedding ceremony that took place in space. Now, a clause is included in the astronauts' contract that prohibits weddings aboard the ISS. When Yuri returned to Earth, the couple had a wedding ceremony in Russia. The sacrament took place in the Resurrection Cathedral of Tutayev (Yaroslavl region).Tutayev (Yaroslavl region). In 2006, Ekaterina and Yuri had a daughter, Kamilla.

The wedding of Americans Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmore turned out to be quite original:

The couple got married in a state of weightlessness aboard a Boeing 727. At that time, the plane was over Florida. Weightlessness was created specially. For this purpose, the pilot ascended to an altitude of 7 kilometers and then tilted the aircraft at an angle of 45 degrees. In this position, the plane climbed another 3 kilometers, after which it sharply descended in a parabolic trajectory. The wedding of Jerome and Sandra Kippers also looked quite extreme. After the priest announced them as husband and wife, the young couple jumped together from a height of fifty meters, of course, with safety equipment. Before that, they were raised on a special platform using a cargo crane. Guests were also lifted there, previously strapped to their seats with seatbelts. Some prefer water extremes.

Residents of Budapest, Clara Kaman and Zoltan

Kish arranged a wedding in the middle of Lake Balaton: the loving couple swayed in one little boat, while in another registry office, workers were conducting 'water wedding procedures.' Relatives and guests sat in the other flat-bottomed boats. There have been many weddings at the bottom of the sea, but the record belongs to Francesca Colombi and Giampiero Giannoccaro. Their ceremony is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the 'largest underwater wedding.' A total of 261 divers were present at the registration. Sharleen and David Hellmann also got married underwater, choosing an unusual venue – a giant oceanarium. The most 'refreshing' wedding can be attributed to traveler Borge Ousland from Norway. By the way, he was the first person to reach the North Pole solo. The wedding took place in the middle of the Arctic on a clear sunny day at a temperature of -28 degrees. After a half-hour ceremony, the newlyweds were treated to fireworks, champagne, and a noisy celebration at the base.

In 2007, at the Russian Antarctic station 'Bellingshausen',

A Chilean citizen, Eduardo, got married. Eduardo Aliaga Ilabaca and Russian Angelina Zhuldybina. According to the newlyweds, they have dreamed of this for a long time—the Strangest Weddings. A wedding is generally not a cheap affair. On average, an American wedding today costs $100,000 (78 million rubles). And this is only about the ceremony and jewelry, while all the bride's whims are paid for separately. The celebration is generally considered luxurious if the cost is $1,000 per guest.

It is not surprising that Americans Kelly and Lee saved money for eleven years.

Not having gathered the necessary amount, the couple decided to participate in a contest hosted by a local radio station. The essence of the promotion: the radio station covers all the costs of the wedding, guarantees a giant cake, a large hall, a sea of treats, a buffet - in general, everything. Except for the young couple's outfits! Because they won't need them. According to the conditions of the contest, the newlyweds must appear completely naked. As soon as the couple thinks about covering their bodies even partially, the carriage turns into a pumpkin. That is to say, from this moment on, the wedding is paid for by the young couple themselves. In the case of Kelly and Lee, frugality won out - they held on until the final cake cutting.

However, the couple from Australia decided to get married naked, not due to a contest, but out of conviction. According to Ellie Barton and Phil Hendicott, entering into marriage is an entirely new period, and one should not bring anything from the past, including clothing. Ellie wore only a veil. Phil had only a black top hat, which he used to cover his intimate area. After them, many couples around the world began to get married nude. It is considered particularly chic to have a wedding where the bride and groom wear nothing but wedding rings. Perhaps the strangest place for the ceremony was chosen by American bride Lisa Satayut. She decided to combine her love for sales with her feelings for her future husband. The wedding took place in a shoe store, right in the aisle between the shelves of shoes. The bride wore a long white chiffon dress, black gloves, and bright green 'gladiator' sandals.

A man married himself.

Random visitors to the store couldn't take their eyes off the newlyweds. However, the Chinese man Liu Ye, by the age of 39, hadn't found his soulmate and decided to marry himself. Why not? A proven individual, with minimal flaws – in general, such wealth is a sin to hand over to others. For the ceremony, the groom ordered a foam replica of himself. He dressed the mannequin in a Chinese wedding dress. Over a hundred guests came to see how an adult man married himself. The 'bride's' friend performed all actions for the mannequin. Some of the attendees mischievously accused Liu Ye of being non-traditional in his orientation. But the groom, furrowing his brow, put an end to all the rumors. He officially stated that he is entirely normal, just 'dissatisfied with reality and a little selfish.'

Sad wedding story

This sad wedding story from Thailand has already become a parable. Chadil Deffi, 28, and Sarinya Kamsuk, 29, had been dating for over ten years and were preparing for their wedding. But just a few days before the celebration, the bride was involved in a car accident. Doctors were unable to save the girl. The grief-stricken groom decided to fulfill his beloved's cherished dream of a wedding at all costs. He invited the bride's close friends, relatives, and also artists and singers to the ceremony. The wedding, combined with a farewell ceremony, was shown on local Thai television. This touching and at the same time eerie story received wide public resonance. Opinions were divided: was Chadil's act an example of eternal love, or a strange desire to 'promote himself'?

The best weddings

The newlyweds from the USA made the best surprise in the world for the groom's 91-year-old grandmother: on their wedding day, they went to the hospital where she was to celebrate the beginning of their married life with her. She was so happy when she found out we were getting married. She had been living for the day of the wedding. Since grandma couldn't come to the wedding, the wedding came to her,' the bride shared her impressions.

Another bride from the American city of Sacramento, upon learning that her chosen one had suddenly changed his mind about marrying her, did not cancel the wedding celebration but instead invited people experiencing homelessness to it. The mother of the abandoned bride insisted upon this, as $35,000 had already been spent on the celebration. For dinner, initially intended for the wedding guests, 120 homeless people showed up. 'To lose something so precious and then help others – that is true kindness,' shared one of the guests at the celebration.

An even more brilliant move was made by newlyweds Victoria Polishchuk and Valery Perevoshchikov from the Murmansk region. They asked all relatives and friends to give them dog food instead of gifts, flowers, and money. Guests were surprised but managed to complete the 'task': the couple collected 25 kilograms of food, which they donated to the 'Looking for a Person' fund that helps homeless animals. '

My husband and I decided to start our family life with a good deed. We hope that other newlyweds will pick up this idea,' admitted the bride. Residents of the Bryansk region also organized a charitable initiative at their wedding, Alexander and Olga Efanova. They decided to make a gift to the orphanage and asked guests to bring soft toys. Then they took teddy bears, elephants, and bunnies to the orphanage in the village of Krasnovichi. "They were thrilled! We also brought them candies. I feel so sorry for them. One girl came up to me and said, 'Can I have a teddy bear? I've always dreamed of having a teddy bear.' I almost cried. On the one hand, it's wonderful to bring joy to the children. On the other hand, there are tears from not being able to help everyone. Toys are just a small consolation. Everyone wants parental warmth," Olga recalled. Maria and Pavel Yusko from the Sverdlovsk region also decided to help the orphans.

However, the couple didn’t stop at toys:

Guests brought modeling clay, pencils, and other valuable items to the wedding. "Happiness should be shared, especially with children," concluded the bride. A young couple from Kazakhstan held a modest wedding instead of a lavish celebration in the company of orphaned children from the Chimkent Center for the Adaptation of Minors. Newlyweds Meirman and Saniya prepared a meal for the orphans. The foster children of the orphanage had a festive table, and they also invited entertainers who entertained the little guests with songs and dances. The noble deed of the young people did not go unnoticed. Soon, the modest feast was dubbed the 'wedding of the year,' and the couple received wishes for intense family happiness, health, and many children from all corners of Kazakhstan. In Shymkent, another young couple decided to perform a generous act on their wedding day. Instead of a lavish event, Darya and Yerkebulan Zholdasov prepared 300 portions of pilaf, which they served free of charge to the townspeople. 'Newlyweds usually spend a lot of money on a party. Just the rental of a car costs a lot. I think that's money down the drain. Today we fed hundreds of people. That's much better,' the groom believes.

Urgently come to the café, we are celebrating a wedding, two seats are empty," said my sister in surprise. For the first time this year, the entire large family of Nicholas gathered around the family table. Irina Gavel was bustling back and forth from the table to the kitchen, hurriedly filling the table with dishes.- Should I bring some salad or chicken?" the woman suggested to her older daughter and son-in-law.- Thank you, no need. You should stop running around and sit at the table," Christina smiled at her mother.- Oh, I’ll have plenty of time to sit later," Irina Gavel scanned the table with a critical eye, trying to understand what was missing and what else needed to be added. Suddenly, the youngest daughter of the woman, who had come to dinner with her fiancé, decided to speak up. Anna raised her empty glass and rang it several times with her fork.- I want to share some joyful news with everyone.

Gregory and I have finally decided to get married!"

The girl exclaimed excitedly, casting a triumphant glance around the attendees.- Oh, finally!" Irina Gavel clapped her hands. It seemed she was happier than anyone else that her second daughter was finally going to sort out her personal life. - When are you planning to register the marriage? - The girls' father inquired, eager to find out when the feast would be scheduled. - We'll see and let everyone know! - Anna said proudly, tilting her head back. There was no more talk about the wedding ceremony. For about a month, Christina waited for an invitation from her sister and brother-in-law, but she received nothing. In a conversation with her mother, she voiced her curiosity about the topic, but Irina Gavel skillfully changed the subject, mentioning that Anna hadn't said anything to them yet. - Maybe they have decided not to get married after all? - joked her husband. - They might register, and that's it. - No, you don't know my sister, - Christina protested. - If she announced the wedding to everyone, then it would happen.

Natalie will go to great lengths to show off.

Then it turns out we just weren't invited, - the man concluded. - Apparently, - the woman replied with annoyance. A woman caught herself thinking that everything was just as Maximo had said. "It's strange that mom also seems to know nothing about the wedding..." "Or she's pretending not to know," the man said with a smile. "We invited the closest ones, and we don't fall into that category." Christina nodded in agreement. Another week passed, and on an early Saturday morning, when her husband was at work and the child was sleeping, Anna called. "You need to come to the cafe urgently, we're celebrating the wedding!" her sister shocked the woman. "How are you celebrating?" Christina asked, stunned. "Well, like that. I don’t have time to chat with you. Come quickly!" Anna didn't answer her sister's question. "Of course, I congratulate you on the wedding, but we won't be able to come. You should have warned us earlier..." "What difference does it make when I called you! While we were at the registry office, we found out that Euгорa's aunt and uncle can't come, and the cafe is paid for according to the number of people. So now we have two empty seats," the bride explained in a jumble.

You have an hour and a half for everything.

I'll send the address by message. - No, sorry, we can't, - Christina refused. - No one invites you a couple of hours before the celebration. - Damn, we weren't even planning to invite you, as we talked it over with the relatives and decided it would be too expensive to gather everyone, - Anna frankly admitted. - But you see the situation that has developed. Aunt and uncle couldn't make it, so come instead of them. My mom urged me, or I would have started to panic. - Nastya, we won't come! Sasha is at work, the child is asleep, and I'm busy with household chores, - Christina stated firmly. - Damn, what are you guys doing? - The sister pouted, hurt. - We paid three and a half thousand for each. We're going to lose seven... - I can't help, but congratulations on your wedding day, - citing her busyness, the woman hastily ended the conversation with Anna. For about half an hour, she then walked around the house with a thoughtful expression, digesting the information that had come from her sister.

However, being alone with her thoughts for long, Christina couldn't focus, as Irina Gavel called her daughter. - Christina, aren't you coming? Natalie is distraught, - the woman said plaintively. - Upset for what reason? Because she didn't call us right away, or because she's going to end up in the red? - The daughter laughed mockingly. - Thank you, of course, for pretending you knew nothing about the upcoming celebration. - What was I supposed to say? That your sister decided not to invite you? Natalie isn't to blame.

It's all the matchmaker's doing.

She indicated whom to invite. Christy, maybe you'll still come? There's still time. " Talk to your husband," insisted Irina Gavel. - Mom, we still won't be able to come no matter how much we want to, - Christina replied firmly. - Maximo is at work, and Slyvester is sleeping. And honestly, I have no desire to go anywhere at all. - Well, okay, as you wish, - the mother sighed resignedly, - but remember that you are sisters, and Natalie is likely to be upset with you, - she added, making another attempt to pressure her daughter.

An attempt to pressure her daughter.

It's interesting that when it was decided not to invite us, she didn't remember that I am her sister! - Christina retorted. - So there's no need to try to appeal to my conscience. - I'm not trying to appeal to anything, it's just that it's still really unattractive on your part, - Irina Gavel skillfully made her daughter feel guilty. - You guys are great, of course! - The woman sneered. - In any awkward situation, blame the other person. The mother said nothing in response to Christina. Instead, she quietly hung up, showing her discontent. However, four hours later, she called back and informed that after the café, she would come to visit her. - Will you be home? - Irina Gavel inquired. - Well, yes, - Christina responded in confusion, genuinely not understanding what her mother was trying to achieve. At ten in the evening, the woman arrived at her daughter's place. She held a bag with containers in her hands. - I brought you something.

There are dishes for two people left.

Irina Gavel handed her daughter the heavy load. - There are salads here and chicken legs."Drumsticks, all kinds of sliced meats, and even a cake! - Mom, why did you bring this to us? - Christina refused to take the bag from her mother. - I wanted to cheer you up since you couldn't come, - the woman went to the kitchen and started pulling out containers onto the table. - Natalie asked me to pass this along. Everything is delicious! Dig in! However, her daughter didn't budge. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked questioningly at her mother. - I’ll probably go, - the woman crumpled the bag in her hands. - Oh, I wanted to say something else. You didn't give Natalie anything for the wedding, and I brought you food. Could you at least pass on seven thousand to your sister? Christina's face flushed with anger. She straightened up and pointed at the containers with her finger. - Take your food back, I won't pay for it.

You've come up with a clever plan, of course.

If the mountain won't go to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the hill, - the woman looked reproachfully at her mother. - If it weren't for those two guests who didn't show up, I would have only found out about the wedding through social media. Irina Gavel looked disappointed..." She looked at Christina and, pouting in annoyance, started to put the containers back into the bag. After finishing this action, the woman trudged to the exit. She was agitated that Christina didn't fall for her cunning move. After the sister's wedding, they, who had barely communicated before that, completely stopped contacting each other. Although Anna sincerely did not understand why this happened, since she had even sent food for Christina with her mother.

On July 8, on the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity, a wedding ceremony took place on Meetmemag broadcast.

Cathrine and Emmanuel play together in the regional chamber orchestra, and the groom proposed during a concert at the regional philharmonic.

The bride and groom, along with their mothers, came to the live broadcast to ceremoniously celebrate the event they had been waiting for for eight years.

The parents of the young couple traveled to Wales from London and Manchester. By the way, the idea of online marriage registration also originated during the live broadcast, reports MeetMeMag.

Nikolai divorced his wife. He lived alone for a year. And he wanted to become a family again - he was so sick of everyday life and crowding without affection. But not to get married, of course. Dismiss it. And a purely honest cohabitation with an attractive girl. And suddenly I dreamed of my children. Many men have heirs. And why shouldn't Sofia give birth to an heir? He began to look after women in ads. I immediately decided that a young candidate for cohabitation should be chosen. And a pretty appearance.

If you have a child with her, then this is a critical moment. It is more pleasant to admire a cute face than to look at a Nile crocodile. But the most crucial thing is mercantilism, so that there is not a gram in a woman. So that there is no material interest in it. So that even an unmercenary woman is by nature. His ex-wife, Vivian, grabbed as much as half of the living space during the divorce. Vivian's temper was extremely scandalous. And what a greedy! And she even shared spoons with his ex-wife, Vivian, who grabbed as much as half of the living space during the divorce.

Vivian's temper was extremely scandalous. And what a greedy! And she even shared spoons and forks. And I removed the wallpaper from the walls - I took my legal half. And the new lady must be entirely antagonistic to Vivian. And in case of a breakup, she would go with a bag of her modest things. And if nothing foreshadows a breakup, then in Sacha, I would appreciate the soul of everything first. And she never stuttered about money. If we have money, it's good, and if we don't have it, then we'll live anyway. Nettle and sorrel grow free on the street. Love is more important. And Sacha himself is forty-seven - a good age for a man. Everything we can say is still ahead. After the divorce, he has a room in a dormitory. And his salary is relatively stable, albeit average in size. And as many as two candidates responded to the search. The first woman was thirty-five years old.

The living space is owned. And a car. The blonde herself is curly. To call him Kevien. Pretty on the face. He is looking for a serious relationship. He is younger and considers having a baby in a relationship. Sacha does detailed interrogations - he asks everything about the service and the state of health. "She is probing," Sacha interprets Clavino's curiosity, "and she has taken a serious bite. Tell her everything." But under Kevien, there is this obstacle - a one-year-old child, Anthony. Vivian, the snake, also had a personal child. Anthony too. And Sacha's life was not very sweet - Vivian pulled everything for her child. And he was in the tenth role. Give her salary, Vivian, and get out of sight - don't annoy the family with society. Kevien will follow this route too. He will begin to pull the last thing from Sacha.

And instead of him, cold pasta on a plate, and do not annoy society. And don't go to Anthony with a remark. And then she will leave him without his last pants. It's like giving a drink. We swam and we know. And the second is a younger citizen. She will be thirty in the spring. Sacha reduced his age a little just in case, as if he were also thirty. The girl's name was Agrippina. And she's so poor that she's wearing pantyhose. It does not have the opportunity to acquire. I came from a depressive region. I have lived all my life in the village. He is afraid of cars, and he shuns crowds of people. He rents a corner from an ancient grandmother. She's shy. And she has some illness - she is always in the nose. He looks sideways at Sacha - he is so embarrassed. I have never been in a relationship with the male sex. That is why confusion shines through her gaze.

One day, he called Agrippina into the dining room. And so greedily the candidate for food pounced that Kevien felt like a beneficent Hotep. And he voluntarily brought her a second glass of compote. I want to get along with her. I have never seen a gram of mercantilism sweeter than carrots. Anthony does not have. But in the nose of Agrippina this gundocite! And how to have children together with a sick woman? And she legitimately wants to get married. Cohabitation on moral grounds is not suitable. "Don't be afraid, soaring," Agrippina whispers embarrassingly in her ear on dates, "if any, the paramedic is discovered, then they will be cured. Nowadays, you can cure any infection. It is cured. I will give birth to offspring if you are fit in your old age.

In our family, everyone has many children. My elder sister has five parasites. Another sister has seven. After the painting, everything will be yours. No wonder she saved herself from the girls. And there is no mercantilism in me. I am accustomed to getting by with a little since childhood. Unmercenary by nature. But I also have moral principles - without painting, I don't spoil the vessel. Dad and Mom hang beaters on me differently—a strict upbringing in our family. We are a pious surname. It is between these candidates that Sacha chooses. With whom should he create a relationship and release an heir? And how not to be left without pants? There is something to think about here. So far, of course, the choice is leaning towards the young. She is the least like Vivian.
