A jilted man's revenge attack on his ex-fiancée failed miserably after he was hammered for his crude advert selling her wedding dress on Facebook Marketplace for a fiver. Many told his former bride-to-be that she had a 'lucky escape' after he tried to flog the gown online while slagging her off in the process. The post went viral due to the man's savage put downs but many didn't find him funny at all and called him out for fat-shaming. The man called Chris hinted at infidelity but that didn't stop people sticking up for the woman, BirminghamLive report. The title of the brutal post is listed as 'wedding dress - size fat' and is on sale for £5 on the popular buying and sell section of the platform. ( Image: Getty Images) The description of the dress then read: "Wedding dress - would fit a larger lady, quite chavvy in style so would suit a cheap slapper. Had a lucky escape so it's brand new which is more than can be said for the intended wearer's well-worn … [Read more...] about Jilted man flogs ex-fiancée’s wedding dress on Facebook for £5 with a brutal note

Bride left fuming as sister ignores wedding dress code and turns up in jeans
Weddings have taken on many forms over the years, and while you used to be tied down to a strictly formal affair with guests in posh dresses and expensive suits, there are many who now opt for a much more laidback approach that allows guests to wear whatever they feel comfortable in. However, just because wearing comfy clothes to some weddings is permitted these days, that doesn't mean you can ignore the dress code of all weddings - as some couples still want to go down the traditional route, and some wedding venues will still insist on black tie. And that's exactly the issue one bride faced when she held her wedding at a venue that required guests to wear formal attire, as her own sister decided to ignore those rules and turned up in jeans and a t-shirt. In a Reddit post shared by the bride's sister, she explained she has a "masculine style" when it comes to clothes and wasn't interested in wearing a dress, but opted to also skip wearing a suit because she didn't like the … [Read more...] about Bride left fuming as sister ignores wedding dress code and turns up in jeans
‘I bought my wedding dress for £19 and transformed it into my dream gown on a budget’
A bride who spent just £19 on her wedding dress has shown off the gown's impressive transformation after she customised it using recycled fabric and some deeply personal touches. Maranda Vandergriff got married in late 2020 and took to TikTok to share a video that detailed the process her dress went through from the moment she bought it up until the day she wore it to tie the knot with her husband. The woman, from the US, said she found the dress in a Goodwill thrift store for $24 (£19.50) before she was even engaged to her now-husband , and decided to pick it up anyway. When the pair then got engaged, she began working on customising the dress, including cutting off the sleeves and using lace fabric her mum had found in the UK to fashion new puffy sleeves - while keeping the original dress' cuffs.

‘My sister-in-law uninvited me to her wedding because she says I’m too pretty’
A woman claims to have recently found herself uninvited to her own sister-in-law's upcoming wedding after the bride-to-be informed her that she wanted 'all eyes to be on me, not you'. Although she said that she'd be happy to 'skip makeup and wear a simple dress' so as not to outshine the bride on her big day, her sister-in-law wasn't having any of it. According to the dismissed wedding guest, her sister-in-law has always been jealous of her appearance, commenting on her clothes and make-up, and telling her she should dress her age - despite her only being 24. She's never risen to such remarks - even when it's been implied that she's 'shallow' for wearing makeup - as her sister-in-law 'seems to have low self-esteem' and she feels 'bad for her.'

IPL 2022 | Disappointed Mumbai Indians coach Jayawardene concedes team didn’t win crucial moments
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene was “brutally honest” in his assessment after their early exit from the IPL, saying they failed to take control of crucial moments and did not play good cricket. Mumbai are likely to end up last on the points table even if they manage to win their last game against Delhi Capitals on May 21. “But having the quality that we have in the squad, yes, you have to be brutally honest, we haven’t played good cricket,” Jayawardene said on the eve of the game. “Like I have said earlier, the intensity, we haven’t taken control of crucial moments in certain matches, we had that done (then) we had the confidence to get those four-five wins in a row, where we would be fighting for the play-offs, but it has been that kind of a season and (I am) definitely disappointed." Jayawardene said the main concern was not handling pressure situations in early stages of the tournament. “As any season where we start slow, which is a concern for us.

IPL 2022, MI vs DC | Rishabh Pant is right choice for captaincy, no doubt in my mind: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting on May 21 backed Rishabh Pant after his strategic blunder cost the team a spot in the play-offs, saying he is still young and learning the ropes of captaincy and remains the right choice for the job. With Mumbai Indians at 95 for 3 in 14.3 overs while chasing a target of 160, Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to go for DRS after Tim David nicked the first ball of his innings and the onfield umpire didn’t give him out. It came back to haunt DC as David slammed 34 runs off just 11 balls with the help of two boundaries and four sixes to take the game out of DC’s grasp. “Absolutely, no doubt in my mind that Rishabh even in the last season he was the right choice for captain. Rishabh did a terrific job with the team after he took over from Shreyas [Iyer] after he injured his shoulders,” Ponting said during the press conference after DC lost by five wickets against MI. “...he is just a young man and still learning captaincy. Being captain … [Read more...] about IPL 2022, MI vs DC | Rishabh Pant is right choice for captaincy, no doubt in my mind: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting
