Hello! Don't perceive me 😅
"My husband is a faithful Christian so my gown must portray modesty" says bride who wore 4 additional dresses at a multi-day wedding that cost multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars
Former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo is facing backlash for wearing a modest wedding gown at her marriage ceremony with American football star Christian McCaffrey, who is an outspoken Christian, stating in a later interview with Vogue that she “didn’t want it to exude sex in any
Guys. I've done wedding planning for 11 years. Today was a rehearsal for a wedding I had on my calendar as being tomorrow.
After the rehearsal as we left, everyone said "see you Sunday!"
I HAVE HAD THEIR WEDDING ON THE WRONG DAY IN MY CALENDAR SINCE THEY HIRED ME.
Last night I came home from a 10 hour work day to a fully decorated tree and house bc on Thursday I spent the night crying over how sad I was that the house looked so bad, and my husband spent all day cleaning and decorating to make me happy 😭❤️
My mom downloaded Uber and ordered a ride for the first time. She's 66, she's never done it, and I'm proud of her!
I was less proud to learn that in the process she accidentally signed up to become an Uber driver.
💀💀💀
My brain literally said "weddings are Saturdays!" and just scheduled it for Saturday.
All my paperwork and contracts say the 16th. It's always been the 16th. I just thought the 16th had to be a Saturday 🙃
At least I would have showed up a day early, not late 🤪🤦♀️
To be clear - I don't care about either of these people. All her gowns are stunning. It's a beautiful wedding, the pictures are delightful.
I just need us to see the irony of slapping a Christian label on this. Please, see it with me.
@robertbenda
Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to start double checking and putting the day of the week on my contracts haha. I'm taking solace in the fact that this has only happened this one time! And that if I'd shown up when I thought it was, I'd be a day early instead of late lol
@queercheerio
💯💯💯
Exactly. As someone who works in the wedding industry, if that wedding cost less than $500K I'd be shocked. And the "modest" dress is custom Dolce & Gabbana 💰💰💰. Do I love looking at it? Sure. But I'm not going to pretend it falls under any Christian standards.
Is there a way to politely say to someone who has invited you to a game night (who regularly invites you to many game nights) that you want to spend time with the group but if you have to play one more game with them you'll have no choice but to walk into the sea?
Fellow adults, do you have a method for keeping your house clean? Cuz right now my method is Let-It-Get-So-Bad-You-Would-Be-Mortified-If-Anyone-Came-Over-Then-Clean-Everything-At-Once-Over-Two-Days-Till-Your-Back-Hurts
@queercheerio
YES! I see this a lot, though - covered up for a church ceremony, then full skin at the reception. I guess because they're married so he's allowed to see her sexually after the ceremony?? I don't know 🤦♀️
Instead of saying "let's check if your parents are here" to my kiddos, I usually say "your people" because some kids get picked up by grandmas, nannies, etc.
Today a girl responded with "my people? You mean Italians?" as if the entire nation of Italy was coming to get her. 😂
@ghoulandboys
My dad had cancer when I was in college and one of my prof's was an acquaintance of his, and at the very beginning of the first day he said "oh, your dad is Tim, I heard he was sick, how is he doing?"
He's dying, thanks so much for asking in front of this room of strangers 🤦♀️
@AliNahdee
A kid I knew went by Lunchbox, to the point where he wrote it on his papers, teachers called him Lunchbox, and many of his classmates didn't know his given name until graduation. If no one thought Lunchbox was wrong in '06, calling people *real names* in '23 is difficult...why?
@BeccaLizz
Yeah, I get that's what she believes is her intent. I feel the "covered up for the ceremony, full skin for the reception" concept doesn't track 🤷♀️ and it's not who she is as a person overall, so it's performative intent at best. But it's all beautiful, and none of it matters lol
I'm still thinking about the old man we saw at church today who was wearing the largest white bow tie ever and who casually pulled out A TAMBOURINE to play along with worship. I want to be very clear that this man was not on the worship team. I just have so many questions.
My dress had a low plunge, low back, and was covered in beads. That says nothing about my commitment to my vows, my spouse, or my God. I tried on high-coverage dresses. There isn't anything wrong with high-coverage dresses. We DO NOT need to virtue signal high-coverage dresses.
@emilykmay
YES several families I sat for did this and I absolutely hated it. My parents would drop me off and the dads would drive me home - it was SO UNCOMFY

Ha! Well I was today years old learning that a copper IUD could be used for emergency contraception, AND that Plan B only works for 155 🤦♀️

People will be attracted to me no matter what I wear because I'm attractive 💃
In all love: Arms still exist with or without sleeves, and if arms cause you to stumble that's your issue. I'm gonna stay cool in the summertime. ✌️

@robertbenda
Oh yes, everyone definitely has the right date except for me 😆🤦♀️ ...and technically, I was given the correct date too, I just mentally decided it was on a different date 🙃
If you're ok with this flag 🇺🇲 representing the pride you take in your identity
but you're not ok with this flag 🏳️🌈 representing the pride someone takes in their identity
maybe the sin of pride or not putting one's identity in Christ isn't actually what's bothering you.
@defnot3owls
Oh my husband would totally do that. Now when people ask us if we're planning on having kids, he says "no, we're just practicing" and I DIE
@HolliLoki
She does look amazing! She can have her day. She brought modesty messaging into the conversation, which opens her up to critique.
Also, two of her gowns were D&G...I think they were fine before Olivia came along.
Does anyone else's spouse ask about changing their phone background in a way that sounds like they're about to ask for a divorce, or is it just mine?
It has to be just mine.
(To be clear, Tonks is our cat.)
@MainLineMaven
She used vendors with celebrity clientele, who are doing fine without her - we don't need to act like this wedding was a philanthropic good deed. Also, he kicks a ball for a living, so "earned their money" is an interesting take.
Like...friends.
Last time I saw
@TessaViolet
was in 2012, singing about space crustaceans. 11 years later I'll be seeing her in the same venue singing about orgasms.
You wanna talk about artistic growth...Taylor could never. 🤷♀️
Today was my first Sunday "out" at church. I was hugged by more people today than I have been in years. And not weird Christian side hugs - full, "you are loved," long hugs. Folks I don't regularly talk to went out of their way to encourage and thank me.
Sent pictures of my ring set to a friend who is proposing soon, and guys I love my set SO MUCH 😅 Truly, don't let society bully you into thinking you have to get something basic, and find a partner who sees your personality and cares what you like and want 🥰
🏳️🌈 Happy Coming Out Day to Me! 🏳️🌈
On this app I've been out for some time, but I'm officially out everywhere. It's been a long and difficult month of conversation, and I'm glad I get to spend the last 10 days of Pride in celebration 😊
@CleoBabezz
@BeccaLizz
I wrote 4 tweets lol - I had no intention on expending *any* energy past my op. But I'm going to defend myself when people jump down my throat about it 🤷♀️
@DianaRuggOnTV
Yes - congrats to her and her already-wealthy vendors who work celebrity weddings. We don't have to pretend this makes her a philanthropist lol
@joshua_boe
In 10 years of wedding planning I think I've only been tipped 3 times, but yes, it's always the low-budget clients who tip.
Some clients have asked about whether I require tips, and I always say it's appreciated but not expected. The ones that ask never actually tip 🤦♀️

I feel like you maybe haven't dealt with a ton of creepy men in your life...kindness is viewed as an invitation for more interaction, no matter what is said.
@NatePyle79
I would tend to argue that photos of what is happening without yourself in them should be excluded from this. Documenting history isn't inherently virtue signaling.

Pritzker literally smuggled in PPE from overseas for our state when Trump wouldn't give us funding. IL will forever be on Trump's naughty list and we are proud of it.
Lol looking thru old church photos - this was taken about 10 years ago, and MY GOD how did no one clock me as queer?!
Not *one single soul* looked at me and was like 🤔🤨🧐

@teixido_heather
Ah. Well, Jesus, who came to fulfill all the old testament law, had lots to say about wealth. Give him a read sometime.
The sheriff in my county and the county I grew up in aren't enforcing the new law. Sheriffs state-wide are refusing to check if gun-owners are registering their weapons. I'm sick of guns and I'm sick of this.
As MAGA sheriffs in IL refuse to enforce IL’s new gun safety law—a reminder that it's "state's rights" when it comes to banning abortion, immigration, books, lgbtq, & 'woke' businesses—but it's magically not state's rights when passing proven gun safety laws.😑
Absurd hypocrisy.

Please explain (with cited sources) what specific policies Joe Biden intends to put forth that will dismantle Christianity as a religion and the religious liberties for all religions in the country.
I'll wait.
@MikeCosper
@PageauJonathan
So...your take is that if we accept the opening ceremonies as simply irreverent and weird, the consequence is that we accept a sports injury in a sport that's known for injuries, and therefore we all hate women and children? Am I getting that right?
So all my stories today were about being bi/bi visibility month or healing after leaving a toxic church situation.
My ex-pastor's wife logged onto FB for the first time in YEARS and viewed allll of them 💀
If I get put on a queer deconstructionist watchlist, I'll let y'all know

proposed sex.
I jokingly said "I don't know, I wouldn't want to cause you to stumble."
He responded "stumble onto these nuts."
We didn't have sex.

Yep! I got a bill last month for a January 2021 test. $270 and some change. The clinic claimed my insurance wouldn't cover it, called insurance and they said they did cover it, but my primary care doctor didn't approve it or something - doesn't matter, I'm not paying it.
@Heaving__Seas
She can totally wear what she wants. She looks lovely! And I agree, I doubt many, if any, people actually complained about it. That's my primary issue - grifting modesty to earn brownie points with conservatives is gross, particularly at a completely non-modest event.
@AshDunston
I'm almost 29 and I am only just this second learning about the "plunge right in, lose your sin" lyric 😬 we didn't sing that one at my church!!
Since coming out at church I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, because there's no way it could go THAT well and be smooth sailing. The shoe might have dropped last night, and I have some processing and ongoing conversations to pursue.
For now...I'm just tired.
