A mother has been criticized after asking whether it's unreasonable to bring two children to a wedding despite the bride and groom insisting they don't want kids there. The mom, thought to be from England, was invited to her cousin's wedding but was told her children were not invited as they wanted a predominantly child-free wedding and didn't class his second cousins as "immediate family." No children other than the groom's daughter and nephew were invited; however, the mother was concerned about leaving her 8-month-old baby at home because she is exclusively breastfed . She explained her baby hasn't been able to wean onto a bottle because she has allergies and is refusing the milk alternative they are giving her. The mom asked the bride and groom whether she could bring her baby and 2-year-old son to the wedding, offering to pay £100 ($121) for the toddler's food, but the couple refused, insisting they had declined other requests from guests to bring their kids. … [Read more...] about “Not your wedding”: Internet divided over mom demanding to bring sick baby

“Bridezilla” sparks fury after asking beachgoers to move to avoid wedding
A bride's request on her wedding day was criticized online after she admitted to asking people to move out of the sea so they wouldn't be in the background of her wedding ceremony. Taking to popular Subreddit "Am I the A**hole," the bride shared that she recently had a wedding on the beach of a hotel in Cancun, Mexico. The day, however, ended in an argument between the newly-married couple after her actions. During the ceremony, she explained in the post , people could be seen in the sea playing and on jet skis. "It really bothered me because they would appear in the background so I told my wedding planner about it. She was very understanding and said she would fix it," wrote the anonymous bride. Talking to the people in the sea and the owners of the activities, however, gained nothing when they simply declined the request and continued on. "I even took the time to go myself and ask them to stop but they didn't care," she admitted. "I was about to go and tell someone from the … [Read more...] about “Bridezilla” sparks fury after asking beachgoers to move to avoid wedding

Brexit damage: Is EU exit now hitting UK’s economy harder than COVID?
The British opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has said there is no going back on Brexit, in a speech on Monday night. Instead, he offered a new slogan as part of a drive to ensure Britain thrives: "Make Brexit Work". "There are some who say 'we don’t need to make Brexit work — we need to reverse it'," the Labour leader told the Centre for European Reform (CER) . "I couldn’t disagree more." "Let me be very clear. Under Labour, Britain will not go back into the EU. We will not be joining the single market. We will not be joining a customs union." It represents a major policy shift for Starmer — who in the run-up to Brexit called for a deal to be put to a second referendum, and lauded the benefits of the free movement of workers, now consigned to the past. It also further distances the country's current direction from the fiery debates and deadlock in the aftermath of the 2016 referendum, with the two largest parties firmly wedded to the UK's departure from the … [Read more...] about Brexit damage: Is EU exit now hitting UK’s economy harder than COVID?
