The father of the bride walking the bride down the aisle is tradition, and if she’s generally on good terms with her father (I think she is - or was), why wouldn’t she adhere to that tradition?

I agree there’s a degree of difference there, but normally those who marry into the Royal family, and their families, don’t speak publicly at all. That’s why it was so enormously shocking when Diana gave information to Andrew Morton, and sat for that disastrous Panorama interview. The Spencers have never breathed a…
What’s weird is that I feel this was all orchestrated on purpose. Supposedly Megan doesn’t have the best relationship with her father, so for some reason I have it in my mind that she always wanted her mother to walk her down the aisle, but she’s already getting push back on the “traditional” roles of the parents (her…
As someone with some garbage family members, you always hope that the important ones (like a parent) can get it together long enough to be there for the big things in your life. But big events are triggers for the worst behaviors it seems.
Except selling staged pictures to the paparazzi isn’t really “out of his depth.” It’s not like he showed up with the incorrect waistcoat or something. I mean, he had to know that’s selling his daughter out. Or at least trying to cash in on her and that’s sad for a parent.
This all seems plausible, but if Meghan and her dad truly liked each other, I don’t think him taking a few staged paparazzi photos of himself at an internet cafe would have been enough for Meghan to kick him out of the wedding, or to have him to bow out. Unless his health issues are really that dire (and if they were,…
Her dad seems like he may be a bit overwhelmed and out of his depth, unlike the compulsively attention-seeking half-sister. It’s sad. I hope the media leaves him alone after this.
And how many dongles do you have to show for it?
If you’re a big enough fool to buy into the “its so thin we can’t even fit USB ports” gimmick then you deserve the crappy keyboard.
But did she? This kinda feels like a shitty relative cashing in.
I love it. It’s like Kate and Wills showing up 7 hours after the birth with the baby to say, “Here’s your photo op, paps!” The Daily Mail and other paps have been stalking this guy since the engagement was even a rumor, usually painting him in an unflattering way - hermit loser, rather than average American retiree in…
I think that the story is all the more effective because it focuses on someone who has committed a serious crime. She has a 15 year sentence, which means she will be out on the streets again. Therefore, it is imperative that she have every opportunity to emerge from prison with strong family bonds, mental and…
But if you focus less on the mother and more on the child, what difference does it make? Are we so intent on punishing people to the fullest that we’ll sacrifice a baby’s well being, knowing that the detrimental effects of premature separation are long-lasting? Denying infants the ability to stay with their mothers…
Thank you for this well-researched and informative article! (Not sarcasm.) Beyond voting for non-assholes, I wish there were something I could do for these women.
trump administration to the world, on the daily:
Hmm, the warrant has to be served FIRST before they can break into your home. They asked repeatedly to see a warrant. The ICE agents declined several times. Legally speaking, the ICE agents have no grounds to enter the home. If I had a bunch of bullies trying to take me away without a warrant, I would barricade myself…
A little tyranny is probably okay...as long as it’s our kind of tyranny.
When tyranny really comes down, the NRA members will start paramilitary right wing death squads and follow the orders of these ICE motherfuckers.
Every time we have a gun debate, someone pipes up with some pearl clutching, “But we need to be able to defend ourselves from the overreaching tyrannical government!”
