      My grandmother lived through the Great Depression. Even though she's been financially stable for decades, she's still funny about food. Maybe Mom's poor, or has been before and never got out of the starvation mindset.
      I'm not saying OP is the AH, I think she did the best she could. But maybe some compassion is warranted here. This is pretty strange behavior, there might be something going on.

      Absolutely! No one is entitled to your money or generosity. Plus treating you like shit when they just perceive that you aren't being as generous as you *could* be? That's disgusting behavior. It wouldn't hurt to remind bridezilla of that!

    • @LazyIRanch
      @LazyIRanch ปีที่แล้ว +137

      Yes! They did the right thing by cancelling that check. If those people couldn't afford to pay for fertility treatments, then how the hell do they think they're going to be able to afford raising a child?! Kids are way more expensive than those treatments, especially if the baby is born with congenital issues that can happen to anyone. People this selfish might abandon a baby that isn't perfect. They sound very immature, and not like good parents.
      My cousin's son got a girl pregnant so they got married much too young. Sadly, the doctors found that the baby had a serious defect, her brain was outside of her skull. If the baby lived, she would have to live without a cerebellum and would be severely disabled, a vegetable.
      This teenage couple had very religious family, so wouldn't consider abortion even though their Christian doctor advised them to terminate. They believed that God would miraculously "fix" their baby just before birth. Any parents who believe in magic are too immature to have a healthy baby, much less one with no brain. I'm not talking about prayer, as I do that too, but only if a cure is possible. Of course that miracle didn't happen even though their family sent lots of money to a TV preacher who promised that God would cure their baby.
      After about a month seeing their blind, deaf, deformed daughter in the NICU, the teen couple decided they didn't want to be parents and they moved out of state, leaving this poor baby to be my cousin's responsibility. My cousin is in her 70s now, and has taken care of this now adult, severely disabled person for @ 40 years. It has consumed her life and has wrecked her own health having to do everything for her that a newborn requires, but for 40 years.
      When my cousin dies, her granddaughter will go to a nursing home and probably not live long. IMO, that poor girl never had a life, and her selfish parents condemned her to an existence where she can only feel pain. Her selfish parents got divorced after about a year and have never paid a dime for her care or visited her. I asked my sister why doesn't our cousin sue them for support? She told me our cousin thinks they've been "punished" enough. WTF? They just moved on, it's our cousin who's been punished. Oh, and our cousin believes that money she sent to Jimmy Swaggart was justified and well-spent because the girl is still alive. I've seen her and wouldn't call that "life". That money should have been donated to a children's hospital or to brain research where it could have done more than make a rich grifter richer.
      Sorry for the rant, I'm just sick of selfish people who don't care who they hurt. I've had a rough time lately because of selfish people so I guess I'm a bit triggered!

    Want to hear a good bride story: One of my friends got married on my birthday, she and i both knew it was my b-d but i didn't make a fuss i was her MOH and happy to be her MOH. Well during the reception it got really weird, really quiet and all of a sudden i hear the Happy Bday song and a small chocolate cake being brought over to me....I couldn't believe it. She even made a little speech that we have been friends from practically birth and how when she planned her wedding and it fell on my b-d how i never made a fuss about it so she wanted me to know how much she appreciate me....Now that is sweet.

    One of my brides maids was 8.months pregnant at my wedding. I thought it was incredible nice of HER to even agree! She had to buy a much larger dress than her normal size and have it altered. She had to stand up there for like 15 minutes at the ceremony. She was on her feet for most of the night and was so tired by the end. But she did it! For us!

    As a public health professional and epidemiologist this had been out for a long time on a buffet table, at who know what temperature? Then frozen with whatever bacteria was growing on it as most can survive freezing. This is a great way to get a lot of people stick and save a little money. Should’ve donated to the soup kitchen.

    • @SoManyRandomRamblings

      And unless she had a blast chiller, that much food (possibly still warm) going into the freezer all at once will mean it will take even longer for that food to get to a frozen state....meaning even more time for growth. At what point do her actions become biological warfare... Lol

      Yeah, that was also my concern. Lots of people think that freezing kills all bacteria, and thats not really how it works, especially with defrosting home freezers. Perhaps more would be killed with an industrial deep freezer, but I highly doubt that is where it was stored.
      She embarrassed her mother, but that's not *her* fault. The mom is at fault for doing something potentially unsafe.
      And they could have just asked people to bring different potluck dishes. That's a great way to save money and have food that you know your guests will like. Set up a group chat for the guests so they can work out who will bring what. It's honestly not that difficult.

    The money one got me. My family struggles sometimes due to the fact that I have 6 siblings, and there are things that we enjoy even though they are small. When my parents got me a Walkman for finishing 5th grade, I started using it all the time. They knew that music was everything in my eyes, and so they granted me that. They did the same with all of my other siblings too, so when the bride started insulting them without even checking it, I felt insulted too. Like, have they never only gotten a card with money on their birthday before?

      Same! I grew up in a similar situation. We weren't poor by any means, but with 8 kids in my family, there were multiple times growing up where my parents said we would have to choose between getting only 1 nice present or several small, cheaper presents for Christmas and birthdays. I remember one year when my parents got me a smart phone for Christmas. I had had a dumb flip phone for years and it was so hard to get good cell service. I was so thrilled to have the smart phone, even though it was an older model. I remember being truly shocked, because I had figured that a smart phone would be one of those things that I would have to scrape and save for because I knew they were expensive and thought my parents may not be able to afford it.

    I used to do catering. In my state, if the food had been served on a buffet line, we were forced to throw out any remaining food off the buffet line, even if the people who ordered the catering wanted the buffet food afterwards. If it hadn't been served (meaning there was an extra tray or two), and proper food safety guidelines followed, the food could be taken home by the party organizers or donated to a food shelter. It's to reduce liability because food on buffet lines is exposed to more bacteria from guests. That's why sometimes half-filled trays are replaced after certain periods of time, so people don't get sick!

      Also, dinner is usually served hours before the end of a wedding reception. Did mom leave early to freeze the leftovers? Was there a big enough cooler/freezer at the venue? Several catering companies in my town have heated and refrigerated cabinets that they bring from off site and just plug in at the venue. Did they let her use them? Did she just leave the leftovers in her car for the night? How far does she live from the venue, with food being room temperature the whole time? Almost certainly she didn't follow reheating or thawing procedures. Gross.

    My sister in law was very pregnant and gave birth to my niece three days after my wedding day. Since it was in a different city and she would have had to be in the car for about 6 hours, I told my brother that it would be absolutely fine if he feels like he needs to be with his wife and I wouldn't feel hurt. The way he managed it was by coming to the wedding by himself and my SIL was with us the entire time on Zoom, her sister was with her just in case she needed to go to the hospital.

    Thanksgiving 1977, thanks to my mother's questionable food handling, my entire extended family ended up sick for days, a few in the hospital, from salmonella AND botulism. I was only 11 but had sense enought to tell her that homecanned food should not fizz when you opened it. She tossed them out just didn't clean behind herself properly, so thankfully nobody died. She also poured gravy over some undercooked turkey because some people had to leave early and dinner needed to be on the table. So, when the holidays rolled around one of us would ask, "Hey Mom, did you invite Sam and Ella this year?". She was never amused. The upside? I learned to cook very well, even working as an inhome private chef fora. few years up until the rona. Then everyone discovered those meal prep kits.

We expected nothing but their presence. Everything on our list was less than $50, many less than $25. Except one very nice skillet I wanted/needed which was less than $75.

    Also important to note: Freezing food does NOT pause the freshness. We tried with eggs. We cooked up a whole bunch, divided them into 7 different bags and froze them. The idea was to save time cooking breakfast. By the time we go to the 5th bag they had gone rancid. Keep in mind these were frozen IMMEDIATELY after cooking and they didn't even last a week in the freezer.

      They don't drink either so of course quite a few families didn't bother to go and when it was time to cut the cakes every table got to cut their own to see what flavors we had. There were like 2 to 3 on each table.
      By this time there were lots of empty tables so my neice and some of us auntys went around and we all sampled the different cakes like little birds lol. It was very unique and fun and quite a few of us went home with whole uncut little cakes. They were frosted identical on the outside tho.
      But inside were banana spice and chocolate and white with strawberries and carrot cake and several other totally yummy types.

The ashwagandha I buy there has really helped me deal with chronic depression, and the powdered aloe vera and tulsi (holy basil) are great used in teas for things like anxiety and stomach issues.
      Little by little, I'm learning how to make Indian dishes with ingredients I find there by watching TH-cam chefs of Indian cuisine. It's fun, economical, and delicious!
      I really enjoy talking with Mrs. Chand when I go there, such a lovely, kind person. She and her husband donate a lot of food to local homeless and welcome them at their store when most shops run them off. Homeless folks buy food with EBT also, and I've noticed that the Chands often give them discounts and extras while treating them with dignity.
      I've tried telling neighbors about their store, but they tell me they'll never shop there and give horrible racist reasons why. I would trade every one of my neighbors for people like the Chands!

    There are lots of ways to pay for food at a wedding. My aunt had a big wedding planned with 350 people. Every weekend and on some holidays she sang for three years at a five-star restaurant with the arrangement that the restaurant would cater her wedding. I was shocked and amazed. They had the whole banquet room up set up beautifully with waitstaff. They served about $5,000 worth of food and hors d’oeuvres. They also cleaned up the reception and packed it away. So if there is a will there is away. No need to eat rotten, mishandled food.

Most reputable catering companies will serve dishes in warming trays to ensure the food doesn't get down to the danger zone and get people sick. Again, anytime you eat bbq at a restaurant know that longer cooked items like brisket have been sitting in warming drawers for 12hr plus. The original bride was going to drop the leftovers off to a soup kitchen or whatever she said, if it was good enough for them to still eat it, I'm assuming it was properly managed. Next if the mother vacuum sealed it, yeah it would still be edible 8 months later, probably dry though, so reheating it would be perfectly fine and you'd be in no danger of getting sick, minus very few exceptions but it would smell upon thawing.

I basically helped her through mental episodes, breakups, got her things because I wanted her to know I care for her, and this girl ended up spinning the biggest webs of lies about me and stopped talking to me the moment I had no more use in her eyes.

They do however give me those leading messages about how they need art supplies for their mental health but they don't have the money for them, and yeah, I usually, but not always, get them.

She told me at work and it was about a week before we went bridesmaid dress shopping. I was so happy for her. That night I talked to another friend that was in our wedding and teased her and said you aren’t going to tell me you are pregnant and said I am. I was actually super happy and thrilled for both of them. Couldn’t care less about my dresses. These are my friends who are bringing life into the world. Well they ended up being due just a few weeks from each other. The bridesmaids and I picked out a really pretty and a-line waist that made it easy for everyone to have alterations done. Our seamstress did all of our alterations at her home. She kept our shoes there as well for days when we had to try on our dresses. She was so cleaver. Both girls had their dresses hemmed from the middle. Meaning she took it up instead of down to give them more room in the belly and still be the correct length. They took a super cute baby bump pic side bump to bump for me. Now their babies are all grown up. Both have been married in the last couple of years themselves and one is a mama now herself.

Aside from how long it's been sitting out, a good portion of it was probable already defrosted prior to the original wedding.

    I had a Korean co-worker in an office I worked at (in Maryland). Her mother did not allow her to invite any of us co-workers to her wedding. Her family prepared a Korean dish with raw eggs for the wedding. Her father-in-law and a bridesmaid died from food poisoning and everyone else at the wedding were sick for weeks.

    As someone who used to run a movie theatre and also did grocery pickup, if anything that’s meant to be kept refrigerated is out more than 30 minutes, I would start questioning it, especially if it came straight from refrigeration. With frozen products, you’re probably fine if it’s being cooked immediately after thawing, but DO NOT refrigerate or freeze once it’s reached room temperature. I know most of us have probably eaten “cold” pizza, but that’s also why so many of us have tummy troubles if we don’t normally have them already.

    I worked in a flower shop for years. A woman I knew was getting married and asked me to do the flowers. I was a single mom and giving her a break on the price I agreed to do the flowers, if she paid materials in addition separately, for $1k which still would have been great boost for my mini family. Everyone wins, right? I worked hard on the planning and execution and probably ended up working for the equivalent of $10 an hour, and I only got two hours of sleep the night before the wedding to make sure everything looked absolutely flawless and perfect.
    You know what’s coming, right? When I asked her about payment, she blinked at me and said she thought I was doing it for free as a gift. Her parents who paid for the wedding anyway we’re upper middle class and didn’t require charity.
    Yes, I could spend a small fortune on babysitting and work myself sick for someone I barely knew for free.
    Moral of the story is: always get everything in writing. No matter how casual things seem or how close you are to the person, always always always get it in writing.
    I had nothing in writing to back me up so I couldn’t even take her to small claims court.
    I paid for this lesson but it helps if others can learn from it.

      I wouldn't have given her the flowers. Since you would have lost that money anyway, I would have donated them to some church or charity or anything but give them to the entitled bride (she didn't have anything in writing as well): you wanna play dirty? Two can play that game!

    That food one gave me major “ICK”. I remember watching a TH-cam video about how an entire family except 2 kids had sadly passed away because of rotten food. Potato salad that sat out on a sunny day and then reused for leftovers destroyed almost an entire family. If someone had gotten that ill from that food and passed, the mother would have blamed the woman she stole the food from. Food can be just as dangerous as anything else out there. I’m glad she told everyone, food needs to be safe to eat and that was not safe at all.
