You know… if I’m trapped in a controlling marriage and I finally get out, I would definitely go get married to another controlling man. I’m surprised this isn’t working out!
Eventually Tigerlily will work out about herself how she's attracting toxic controlling men, work on herself, and one-day find an honest darling life partner 🙏
Maybe while she spent hours upon hours having her hair and makeup done, she could've listened to an audiobook or watched something to get the basics about Adnan's culture.
She’s just one of those rare woman that looks just as gorgeous with makeup as she does without. But you can still tell a difference when she’s done up so idk what you’re talking about lolol

@@danasandoval624 what??? has it not occurred to you that people get pregnant on purpose because they want children??? Not saying wealth isn't a part of the equation when some people choose a partner, but this is such a shitty way to view a parent.
As an American who married and had children with someone from another country I don’t understand how other Americans don’t do any research on the cultures they are marrying into. My ex is from Mexico. I did all I could to be a part of the culture. I learned the language, and customs.
Because Americans just expect the whole world to be like them. They think there are no cultural barriers and that their ethics and morals are universal. And even if they are aware of other customs, they just ignore them anyway and think they're stupid and should be abandoned in favor of theirs. It's a case of wanting and thinking you can have your cake and eat it too. Most people won't abandon their own customs all that easily, even for a spouse. It's why I don't do things like tell my wife to stop believing in her religion, or how to parent, or even how to be a wife. I know we have different customs. I love this person enough to respect them and not try to change them into something they're not. If two people can't reconcile these differences, then they shouldn't be together. Not saying this about you specifically, but more-so these two.
If she took the time to learn about the culture, she wouldn't be surprised by all the issues they are having... She also might have chosen not to get married 😅
I feel like she's playing a character, like Paris Hilton or Marilyn Monroe. I don't find her charismatic either, I think the whole thing really plays in to the male gaze lol
why is no one mentioning the fact that she should make it a point to get up early to get ready ???? if she knows it takes her 5 years she should get up accordingly 💀
Facts! It takes me forever to get ready (but only bc of chronic pain, not bc I'm like Tiger Lily lol) and I plan accordingly! I would never make anyone wait 4 hours for me, jaysus. And she has a "glam squad" too, which makes it even worse! But you also have to have a plan B if someone says you gotta be out the door in 20 minutes. That's life. If one of her kids needed to go to the ER does she make them wait or just have a nanny take them bc she can't be seen out in public with a messy bun and sweatpants? She's ridiculous!
I keep laughing at everyone who speeds up Tigerlily, because she's such an obnoxious speaker. I'm gonna lay some truth on some folks. My parents were married for 40 years, before my Dad was caught with CP and went to jail. He was abusive to her and us. And what did Mom do? She went out and found another guy just like Dad. She lived by herself for 6 months and couldn't stand herself, so she got married again. Trauma reenactment is 100% valid and IMO I think Tigerlily has it. I don't think she's had a thought strong enough to escape her thick skull, so how can she work on herself and have therapy about it?
Scary to see most commenters commenting on and tearing into the "American dumb blonde" yet very few comments about the extremely problematic, controlling, sexist behaviour from the man. Standard double standards in these "modern" times.....

haha me too I was so glad when James called BS. I've seen this clip a couple of times and thought the same thing. No CHANCE the two of them sat *in the car* for 3 hours waiting for anything. Then every time Adnan complains, he adds an hour. They were waiting for 4, 5, probably 12 hours!!!!
It’s only Tigerlilly saying her ex was controlling. This is a woman that took 4 hours to get ready for a car trip. The ex probably didn’t want to wait 4 hrs everyday for her to get her fake hair & makeup done. She found her ex husband (he was very wealthy) got pregnant at 30 had another kid or two (bigger paycheck). Spent 4 years getting a divorce and is now 41. That means she might have spent 7 years (while spending lots of his money) with the wealthy ex husband. The guy was nothing more than a big payday. She even basically says she has never been in “true” love. What a jewel. I just wish everyone would stop automatically taking her word that her ex was controlling. Also she blames him for her having no friends even though she had 4 years during the divorce to find friends yet still has none. It’s a her problem not an ex problem. The paid friends she has wouldn’t be around if she didn’t pay them. Who would ever want to spend anytime around this selfish woman unless she paid you? Right nobody!
This is a good point. When James flashed the pic of the ex-husband I thought to myself I wish he WOULD come out and say something. Maybe he has - I only get my 90 Day content from channels like James's. lol
Nothing you said makes it less likely for her relationship to have been actually been controlling. That victim blaming isn't okay just because you don't like her. You just speculate without knowing any actual facts.
@@dieSchreckschraube We don’t have any actual facts other than her say so. Why is that fact? Why is she an automatic victim? She was a gold digger plain and simple & that’s was her divorce excuse, otherwise after 4 years she would have some friends that weren’t paid.
@@DTyrannosaurus I have no seen anywhere he has made any comment. Some people just don’t care what the ex says. He is probably glad to be rid of that annoying squeaky voice spending his money like water. She said she had never been in real love which is awful to say. She has 2 or 3 paychecks, I mean kids from the ex so obviously she never loved the guy. Everyone just takes her word for him being controlling & I think that’s wrong. Saying it was his fault she didn’t have friends, she had 4 years during the divorce & still only has paid friends so it wasn’t his fault it’s a her problem. If she was a decent person she would just say her & her ex couldn’t get along instead she keeps saying nasty little things and playing victim. If people look back at the time frame of her last marriage and listen to things she says it only points to her being a gold digger.
How would you know? Do you know her or her ex? The amount of women in this comment section posting multiple paragraphs talking shit about this woman is so cringe. How could someone you never met bother you so much? ….. Actually To be fair, you really bother me and I’ve never met you. So I guess I’m guilty as well
What about Shay sitting in the middle NEXT TO THE BROTHER??!? Why didn't they separate them by Cruz? A little weird about what is ok sometimes and not others....
I'm pretty sure he just hired planners; it seems to be that he or his family do actually have wealth and a planner would hire all the people needed to make all the arrangements, he would have just said what he wanted.
Tigerlily had a social media post recently saying she did not pay a penny for the wedding. Adnan's family is wealthy. In their culture, it is tradition that the groom pays for the wedding.
19:33 Not enough for most people, Shiiiiiiiieeeeeettt, I wake up roll outta bed and am out the door, if I wear makeup it takes 10 minutes, foundation, mascara and eyeliner.
James, I too am in my late twenties and never been to any weddings (except my own to my ex husband) because my friends are a bunch of degenerates and have no morals. I feel your pain on this issue so deeply. But my boyfriend just invited me to one in November and I'm truly so excited! May our 30s bring our friends more successful relationships so we can go to some beautiful weddings!
They’re probably better when everyone’s financially stable lol I hated going to weddings when I was in my early twenties for family and I couldn’t ball out for them bc I didn’t have the money to get more than a gift. Next wedding I go to, I’ll be able to enjoy more knowing i wont have to count my pennies.
If you describe your friends as "degenerates" with no morals and pick and choose friendships based on how adult their relationships and possible future weddings will be than that in itself is probably the reason you are not getting invited to many weddings...
Friends who are amoral degenerates. Quite the accusation since they are the friends you keep. You know what they say: show me your friends and I'll show you who you are. Just saying 🤔
I also have a dry sense of humor. She's definitely doing it on purpose. Her little smirks she tries to hide after making ridiculous statements, the " million dollar purse" I hope she doesn't lose herself and her quirkiness in this relationship
18:44 it’s no different than any other religion. You have people that are strict and devoted, and you have others that do their prayers, but also still likes to have fun. It’s all about the individual. Growing up in a Muslim household, I got a trouble a lot, because I was caught with alcohol, and also 🌱 I don’t think that makes me a bad person, I still respect my my religion
I call this story line B.S. I think They already knew each other and The Family. The Family welcome Her and were Friendly. Also The Hairstylist is a story line to make drama it doesn’t make sense that She gave Her Glam Squad a Day off since They came to work for Her. Also I heard that They live in Texas and He has a Lamborghini. Her imitation of Kourtney Kartrashan is annoying. 👍.
The male hairdresser is one major clue that Adnan's interpretation of the rules for women is anything but universal in his culture. If that was the case, we would have seen the hairdresser having the same attitude about it.
No we wouldn’t. We never would have met the hairdresser. Because the hairdresser would be long out of business. Because he couldn’t touch a single client. 😉 Edit: corpus crispi
There HAS to be something with the show getting (or coaching) people to be so willfully ignorant around their partners. I'm single, and *a grown up*, and I seem to know more about someone before our first date than these people do about partners who they claim to be the love of their life. Further, I spent one week in a European country and I spent the weeks before the trip learning basics of the language, money exchanges, and BASIC cultural standards. And I was just visiting! This season is making me wonder if this whole thing has become some weird propaganda. But then I remember a friend who was preparing to marry a man she met locally and in real life (lol) who did not have a driver's license and when I asked her why (again, midwest - very unusual for someone not to drive) she said she didn't know. This seems impossible to me. I guess I've just never been so...blinded by my desire for a man. Edit to add: Since no one else will say it, I will. The M/F standard is obvious. Men could walk around naked and not be *in fear* of women physically assaulting them. The reverse is not true. Thus, women are not be alone with men, and not the other way around. Someone should just SAY IT.
Waiting??? Didn’t she spend an HOUR in the airport restroom to “fix her face” before she even met Adnan who stood there forever waiting for her sorry ass. James, you’re giving TL WAYYYyyyy too much credit
Okay let me defend her, I get my hair done professionally, plus she has extensions like I do. it’s takes a minimum of an hour to wash dry and style. Plus to have her skin taken care of is another hour, with the cleans, massage, mask, and treatments. The getting dressed. Yeah 3-4 hours makes sense. I’m the same way before I go out she isn’t being ridiculous
Really? Yes it is ridiculous. Most people don’t spend that kind of time getting ready & she does this everyday. It’s also rude as hel_ to make people wait for you especially that long.
@@_Mamimi Nobody cares how long she takes, it's that she has people waiting 3 or 4 hours. If she wants to take that long, she should get started earlier so she doesn't have everyone sitting around waiting on her snail self. It's disrespectful to the entire group to not care about their time.
Tigerlily is obviously not a normal or remotely competent person, so it's a little disappointing you keep dragging her ex-husband through the mud because of her one-sided story (and subtly implying he is a bad person because he is not conventionally attractive).
I went to Jordan this September, and our tour guide/manager told us that usually the head of the household is none other than…. The Matriarch! This means if there is a problem in the household, the Matriarch finds out about it almost immediately.
They are rich. The hotel can just bill them for the comforter/duvet! And I really want to watch this show, but I don't have TLC! Can I find it online somewhere?
After watching several reviews of this couple, I think most of this is scripted. Like James said, why would Tigerlily give her glam squad the first day they're there off? So she'd have to hire a strange man to do her hair.😅 Also, with all the money spent on this wedding, theres NO way there would onlt be one room for them both to change in. That wouldn't even happen in the U.S., where male/female rules aren't as strict. Leaving 30 minutes for her to get ready? Most women can't get ready in 30 minutes, let alone Tigerlily. Its all too fake 😂
"Women in Jordan don't share problems with their husbands" SOOOOOOOOOOO true.....my beautiful, Egyptian husband has had to work very hard understanding my emotions and learning that when i discuss problems with him, it is discussion and not accusation/complaining. It is a learning curve for both of us for sure.
Ofc some things in Muslim culture are doble standards, but it seems a lot more like he's trying to push them into her face to get a reaction. Like when he was walking around shirtless in the room with her friend its clear that he was doing it to try & get the friends attention.
I’ve seen a lot of comments on other videos about these two, particularly when they were leaving for the honeymoon and she took 4 hours to get ready. They were supporting HIM! Saying he was right…um…no, he should have said “tomorrow we need to leave by blah” then she could have decided what time she wanted to wake up to be ready on time. It’s not for him to tell an adult woman how long she has to get ready. As for his “women in Jordan do as men say” then, little boy if that’s what you wanted you should have married a local lady. While I totally agree she should have been responsible and researched his culture and religion so should he, again back to he should have chosen a dutiful local woman. Why must it always be that changes to fit the man’s expectations? He chose to marry an American woman who isn’t Muslim so why should she have to adhere to his cultural & religious norms? How about he realise that a man touching her hair isn’t ‘touching his wife, therefore his property’ and that skin is simply and organ covering the body, so what is someone can see arm or chest? Should she never disagree with him because he doesn’t believe women should have an opinion and express it? He had a go at her in the car, in front of his brother and her friends, but she shouldn’t say anything in response to his complaints while they’re there, if at all? As for his brother commenting on her clothing choices…stfu! I would have said, with dramatic arms gestures, this is MY body, I choose what I wear on it. That is YOYR body, therefore your choice what you wear on it. The ‘celebration of adman says everything, women are meant to be invisible, she had no input on the planning, if she had she wouldn’t have got anything she wanted, that day was about him, not his wife. My American catholic but not practicing ex husband once tried some silliness, he said my top was too low, I was showing too much cleavage & I needed to change. The smug look on his face made me smile, I put on an even more revealing top I would have usually have worn with a camisole top under it. He never tried doing that again, I had no intention of complying with his pathetic demand. I’m 🇬🇧& atheist, so no religious or cultural nonsense involved
I also don’t understand how people with children on this programme go marry someone abroad without their children ever meeting them, if someone has children it’s a package deal. If the children don’t like the person then it’s time to move on. Without a doubt he will be incredibly jealous of her boys, he will constantly complain about then, they’re too noisy, too boisterous, up too early, up too late, they should be in their bedrooms…🤦🏼♀️ it’s awful to think in their mind that their mum took her friends with her and had a huge wedding but they weren’t invited. That’s a huge problem in a child’s eyes, it says she doesn’t want them around, she lives her friends more, they weren’t welcome at the wedding…Those poor children
The show doesnt have one real couple this season. These two are beyond the realm of stupidity. 'He obviously comes from money..." would be the ONLY reason she married him IF theyre really married at all. I doubt it. I stand by my assertions. Honestly, her stupidity is indefensible. Smh.
I have a question: How have you never been to a wedding? Do you mean like one where it's your friends who get married or simply never been to any wedding?
You know… if I’m trapped in a controlling marriage and I finally get out, I would definitely go get married to another controlling man. I’m surprised this isn’t working out!
That's unfortunately an extremely common pattern. So many people chase relationships that make them oppressed.
Untreated trauma will have you repeating the chaos!

This is a good point. When James flashed the pic of the ex-husband I thought to myself I wish he WOULD come out and say something. Maybe he has - I only get my 90 Day content from channels like James's. lol
Nothing you said makes it less likely for her relationship to have been actually been controlling. That victim blaming isn't okay just because you don't like her. You just speculate without knowing any actual facts.
@@dieSchreckschraube We don’t have any actual facts other than her say so. Why is that fact? Why is she an automatic victim? She was a gold digger plain and simple & that’s was her divorce excuse, otherwise after 4 years she would have some friends that weren’t paid.
@@DTyrannosaurus I have no seen anywhere he has made any comment. Some people just don’t care what the ex says. He is probably glad to be rid of that annoying squeaky voice spending his money like water. She said she had never been in real love which is awful to say. She has 2 or 3 paychecks, I mean kids from the ex so obviously she never loved the guy. Everyone just takes her word for him being controlling & I think that’s wrong. Saying it was his fault she didn’t have friends, she had 4 years during the divorce & still only has paid friends so it wasn’t his fault it’s a her problem.
If she was a decent person she would just say her & her ex couldn’t get along instead she keeps saying nasty little things and playing victim. If people look back at the time frame of her last marriage and listen to things she says it only points to her being a gold digger.
How would you know? Do you know her or her ex? The amount of women in this comment section posting multiple paragraphs talking shit about this woman is so cringe. How could someone you never met bother you so much?
…..
Actually To be fair, you really bother me and I’ve never met you. So I guess I’m guilty as well
Anyone who can deal with her voice alone has the upper hand, lmao could not pay me enough for that to be my life 😅😂😂😂
Pretty sure 95% of men would find a way to put up with the voice lolol
@@TheProdigy_916 I disagree with that number but, cheers to those who can, God speed. There’s a reason y she has paid friends lmao j/s lol
Obviously she checked out his funds before getting married to him and it’s obvious that’s absolutely all she did!
How is that obvious?
What about Shay sitting in the middle NEXT TO THE BROTHER??!? Why didn't they separate them by Cruz? A little weird about what is ok sometimes and not others....
It seems like the rules only apply when he wants them to.
I know super confusing lmao she definitely should’ve read Muslims for Dummies beforehand
I feel so bad for her ex husband 😂😂. I’ll be heartbroken seeing someone spend my money like this. So dumb
“Unemployed, I mean, model”…😂😂😂 bro I’m laughing already.
Thank you for speeding up her voice. 🙏🏻
I'm pretty sure he just hired planners; it seems to be that he or his family do actually have wealth and a planner would hire all the people needed to make all the arrangements, he would have just said what he wanted.
Tigerlily seems to take this very “everything is gonna be okay” delusion, but it cracks sometimes
I was waiting on your breakdown on this 5 star genius 😂😂😂!
As a Muslim man, I would highly upset if my daughter meets a man like this.
Mega Chad gets Mega Mad all the time “baby this is so annoying!”
adnan is such a himbo he literally used the stopwatch not the timer
Tigerlily had a social media post recently saying she did not pay a penny for the wedding. Adnan's family is wealthy. In their culture, it is tradition that the groom pays for the wedding.
Tiger Lily is definitely playing the character of Adnan's mom. TV magic at it's finest!
Your impression of Tigerlily just made my day 😂
James, you are so eloquent and well spoken. I appreciate hearing your perspectives. You are quite mature and down to Earth. From another 28 year old 😊
Rumor has it that Adnan paid for the whole wedding. He does come from a very rich family.
In his culture the groom pays for the wedding
I love how she doesn't care and questions him it's the tone she does it in which makes me laugh 👏👏🤣🤣
As a muslim, I find this hilarious.
19:33 Not enough for most people, Shiiiiiiiieeeeeettt, I wake up roll outta bed and am out the door, if I wear makeup it takes 10 minutes, foundation, mascara and eyeliner.
Do you not shower?
James, I too am in my late twenties and never been to any weddings (except my own to my ex husband) because my friends are a bunch of degenerates and have no morals. I feel your pain on this issue so deeply. But my boyfriend just invited me to one in November and I'm truly so excited! May our 30s bring our friends more successful relationships so we can go to some beautiful weddings!
Oooh exciting! Hope it's a fun one! At this rate I'll have my own wedding before going to anyone elses :P
I hope you find good friends
They’re probably better when everyone’s financially stable lol I hated going to weddings when I was in my early twenties for family and I couldn’t ball out for them bc I didn’t have the money to get more than a gift. Next wedding I go to, I’ll be able to enjoy more knowing i wont have to count my pennies.
If you describe your friends as "degenerates" with no morals and pick and choose friendships based on how adult their relationships and possible future weddings will be than that in itself is probably the reason you are not getting invited to many weddings...
Friends who are amoral degenerates. Quite the accusation since they are the friends you keep. You know what they say: show me your friends and I'll show you who you are.
Just saying 🤔
You can have alcohol for special occasions & its in stores & restaurants, hotels ect.
Tiger lily was married and divorced two times already I can see the third time in the near future! She is totally clueless about everything! 🤔
I also have a dry sense of humor. She's definitely doing it on purpose. Her little smirks she tries to hide after making ridiculous statements, the " million dollar purse" I hope she doesn't lose herself and her quirkiness in this relationship
18:44 it’s no different than any other religion. You have people that are strict and devoted, and you have others that do their prayers, but also still likes to have fun. It’s all about the individual. Growing up in a Muslim household, I got a trouble a lot, because I was caught with alcohol, and also 🌱 I don’t think that makes me a bad person, I still respect my my religion
you are quickly rising to be my favourite reviewer of this dumbster fire of reality show
I call this story line B.S. I think They already knew each other and The Family. The Family welcome Her and were Friendly. Also The Hairstylist is a story line to make drama it doesn’t make sense that She gave Her Glam Squad a Day off since They came to work for Her. Also I heard that They live in Texas and He has a Lamborghini. Her imitation of Kourtney Kartrashan is annoying. 👍.
I really enjoy your recaps. ❤️
The wedding is giving second life nuptials.
This was great! Thank you
What a rude awakening 😂😂😂
I'm sorry, but 4 hours for your hair to look like that? Yeah, I'd be pissed too
Thank you. I ....for some reason...thought that was red wine stains.😅 Who doesn't remove rose petals? Barbaric 😊
Tiger Lily is crazy or she must have another alimony contract by divorce with this new man and know he is rich.
In every episode she says how confused she is 🤦🏼♀️
Great recap James, you’ve been killing it!
Good morning Handsome James! ❤❤❤ Happy Saturday!
Men being able to go shirtless and women not happens in the U.S. too...
The patriarchy just sucks everywhere.
That wasn’t the point lmao
@@TheProdigy_916 I'm very surprised she didn't already know this.
I am actually worried for TL’s wellbeing after the camera’s & her friends are gone. Punishment of women is accepted there.
Your friends sound like my type 😅😂
The male hairdresser is one major clue that Adnan's interpretation of the rules for women is anything but universal in his culture. If that was the case, we would have seen the hairdresser having the same attitude about it.
No we wouldn’t.
We never would have met the hairdresser.
Because the hairdresser would be long out of business.
Because he couldn’t touch a single client. 😉
Edit: corpus crispi
I call BS on her ex husband and all the controlling behaviors
Can't believe how normal she sounds sped up
There HAS to be something with the show getting (or coaching) people to be so willfully ignorant around their partners. I'm single, and *a grown up*, and I seem to know more about someone before our first date than these people do about partners who they claim to be the love of their life. Further, I spent one week in a European country and I spent the weeks before the trip learning basics of the language, money exchanges, and BASIC cultural standards. And I was just visiting!
This season is making me wonder if this whole thing has become some weird propaganda. But then I remember a friend who was preparing to marry a man she met locally and in real life (lol) who did not have a driver's license and when I asked her why (again, midwest - very unusual for someone not to drive) she said she didn't know. This seems impossible to me. I guess I've just never been so...blinded by my desire for a man.
Edit to add: Since no one else will say it, I will. The M/F standard is obvious. Men could walk around naked and not be *in fear* of women physically assaulting them. The reverse is not true. Thus, women are not be alone with men, and not the other way around. Someone should just SAY IT.
Wheres that $30 thousand watch she bought. I call BS on her money
Waiting??? Didn’t she spend an HOUR in the airport restroom to “fix her face” before she even met Adnan who stood there forever waiting for her sorry ass. James, you’re giving TL WAYYYyyyy too much credit
James, that vocal fry doesn’t bug the poop out of you?
"Hey oh btw you're dressed like a WHORE" 😂😂😂 God I love you! 😂❤
She can do her own hair, right?
Okay let me defend her, I get my hair done professionally, plus she has extensions like I do. it’s takes a minimum of an hour to wash dry and style. Plus to have her skin taken care of is another hour, with the cleans, massage, mask, and treatments. The getting dressed. Yeah 3-4 hours makes sense. I’m the same way before I go out she isn’t being ridiculous
Oh no. It certainly is ridiculous, especially if you have people waiting on you.
Really? Yes it is ridiculous. Most people don’t spend that kind of time getting ready & she does this everyday.
It’s also rude as hel_ to make people wait for you especially that long.
All they did was go from one hotel to the next hotel! She could've put her hair up in a bun and saved 2 hours.
Some people like to look good and she’s been honest with the time it takes her to get ready so idk what yall are on about
@@_Mamimi Nobody cares how long she takes, it's that she has people waiting 3 or 4 hours. If she wants to take that long, she should get started earlier so she doesn't have everyone sitting around waiting on her snail self. It's disrespectful to the entire group to not care about their time.
2:17 I didn’t know roses could stain bedsheets, wow the more you know
The don’t unless they are drenched in sweat from hours of love making 🤮
@@mommav0107 That's such BS. They do when they get damaged.
Addnan’s (however you spell it) mother is beautiful
Tigerlily is obviously not a normal or remotely competent person, so it's a little disappointing you keep dragging her ex-husband through the mud because of her one-sided story (and subtly implying he is a bad person because he is not conventionally attractive).
“model”= Instagram addict
I went to Jordan this September, and our tour guide/manager told us that usually the head of the household is none other than…. The Matriarch! This means if there is a problem in the household, the Matriarch finds out about it almost immediately.
She marries into the most controlling kind. I really don't know how she made it this far in life. She just seems like such a young soul.
In the thumbnail I thought she was Mamma June
Same!
31:19 Saaaaaame, I'm like you tell him girl.
Im laughing about the part with your not married loser friends 😂.
They are rich. The hotel can just bill them for the comforter/duvet! And I really want to watch this show, but I don't have TLC! Can I find it online somewhere?
Google Tigerlilys exhusband...not a CHANCE she married for money😅
Curious now 😂
@jessieb7290 oh he sure is....a man!😅
TigerSilly
I think tiger lily def leans into the fake bimbo thing but she’s funny. I like her! 😂
After watching several reviews of this couple, I think most of this is scripted. Like James said, why would Tigerlily give her glam squad the first day they're there off? So she'd have to hire a strange man to do her hair.😅 Also, with all the money spent on this wedding, theres NO way there would onlt be one room for them both to change in. That wouldn't even happen in the U.S., where male/female rules aren't as strict. Leaving 30 minutes for her to get ready? Most women can't get ready in 30 minutes, let alone Tigerlily. Its all too fake 😂
I agree, which is why it's hard to take this couple too seriously 😂 but does make it fun to relax and watch something so over the top I suppose!
"Women in Jordan don't share problems with their husbands" SOOOOOOOOOOO true.....my beautiful, Egyptian husband has had to work very hard understanding my emotions and learning that when i discuss problems with him, it is discussion and not accusation/complaining. It is a learning curve for both of us for sure.
Im very much rooting for tigerlily idc
Ofc some things in Muslim culture are doble standards, but it seems a lot more like he's trying to push them into her face to get a reaction. Like when he was walking around shirtless in the room with her friend its clear that he was doing it to try & get the friends attention.
I am not a fan of vapid postering, nor valuing the "material" over real substance of the body and mind of another human being.
I’ve seen a lot of comments on other videos about these two, particularly when they were leaving for the honeymoon and she took 4 hours to get ready.
They were supporting HIM! Saying he was right…um…no, he should have said “tomorrow we need to leave by blah” then she could have decided what time she wanted to wake up to be ready on time.
It’s not for him to tell an adult woman how long she has to get ready.
As for his “women in Jordan do as men say” then, little boy if that’s what you wanted you should have married a local lady.
While I totally agree she should have been responsible and researched his culture and religion so should he, again back to he should have chosen a dutiful local woman.
Why must it always be that changes to fit the man’s expectations? He chose to marry an American woman who isn’t Muslim so why should she have to adhere to his cultural & religious norms?
How about he realise that a man touching her hair isn’t ‘touching his wife, therefore his property’ and that skin is simply and organ covering the body, so what is someone can see arm or chest? Should she never disagree with him because he doesn’t believe women should have an opinion and express it? He had a go at her in the car, in front of his brother and her friends, but she shouldn’t say anything in response to his complaints while they’re there, if at all?
As for his brother commenting on her clothing choices…stfu! I would have said, with dramatic arms gestures, this is MY body, I choose what I wear on it. That is YOYR body, therefore your choice what you wear on it.
The ‘celebration of adman says everything, women are meant to be invisible, she had no input on the planning, if she had she wouldn’t have got anything she wanted, that day was about him, not his wife.
My American catholic but not practicing ex husband once tried some silliness, he said my top was too low, I was showing too much cleavage & I needed to change. The smug look on his face made me smile, I put on an even more revealing top I would have usually have worn with a camisole top under it.
He never tried doing that again, I had no intention of complying with his pathetic demand. I’m 🇬🇧& atheist, so no religious or cultural nonsense involved
I also don’t understand how people with children on this programme go marry someone abroad without their children ever meeting them, if someone has children it’s a package deal. If the children don’t like the person then it’s time to move on.
Without a doubt he will be incredibly jealous of her boys, he will constantly complain about then, they’re too noisy, too boisterous, up too early, up too late, they should be in their bedrooms…🤦🏼♀️ it’s awful to think in their mind that their mum took her friends with her and had a huge wedding but they weren’t invited. That’s a huge problem in a child’s eyes, it says she doesn’t want them around, she lives her friends more, they weren’t welcome at the wedding…Those poor children
Why didn't his sisters come help? That's typically the way it goes. This relationship is a joke
The show doesnt have one real couple this season. These two are beyond the realm of stupidity. 'He obviously comes from money..." would be the ONLY reason she married him IF theyre really married at all. I doubt it. I stand by my assertions. Honestly, her stupidity is indefensible. Smh.
Why are they on this show? I’m sure he doesn’t want a fiancé visa and she’s not going to live in Jordan, so what’s the story line?
I just saw a pic of her pre Botox and it’s insane how different she looks now.
“Why not woman?” I don’t know why that makes me laugh so hard. 😂 He’s such a turd.
She should've done a deepdown backroundcheck.
She has to be delusional if she thinks this isn't a controlling relationship. 🤦♀️
I have a question: How have you never been to a wedding? Do you mean like one where it's your friends who get married or simply never been to any wedding?
