I was fuming when I found out why my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding – now they're uninvited for being so petty
Stef explained that her sister had contacted their relatives to ask why they hadn't received an RSVP back from them for the nuptials.

And when she did so, she found out the bizarre reason they'd delayed their response to the invite - despite the fact they insisted they were coming.
"I know they'll be there, but I need to know their food options," she said in a TikTok video.
"And the reason they gave for not RSVPing was there's no fish on the menu!"
She said that she and her husband-to-be had given their guests a meat choice or a vegetarian choice for both the starter and the main course.
"If you don't like the meat, then you can have a really lovely Parmigiana aubergine gnocchi," she added.
"It's amazing!"
Not only that, but the two family members actually eat meat.
"So my sister was like, 'Right, okay, so you're not gonna come to the wedding because there's no fish on the menu?'" Stef continued.
"And they were like, 'No, no, no, of course we're gonna come, we just don't really know what to say'."
And when her sister asked the relatives whether or not they could eat either the vegetarian or meat option, they said they could, but "just really wanted fish".

"Are you f**king joking?" Stef raged.
"I'm sorry, but my wedding is not a restaurant.
"You don't get a full menu, you don't get to choose from 10 different options."
In addition, it would cost Stef an extra £10 per person to provide a meat, vegetarian AND fish option, as she noted: "It's a 160 person wedding.
"I don't f**king think so.
"My wedding is a two day event. You're getting two lots of breakfast from me.
"You're getting a rehearsal dinner. You're getting your wedding breakfast.
"You're getting a pizza from the night of the wedding. I think you're doing all right.
"It's a free bar. Sit back and enjoy yourself."
When the pair admitted the reason they hadn't wanted to RSVP was because of the menu, Stef's sister told them: "If you don't like the food choices, then go f**k yourself".
"Couldn't agree more," she added.
Sharing the tale on TikTok, Stef wrote: "Please tell me I'm not the only other person experiencing this level of crazy around their wedding?!"
People quickly obliged by sharing their own shocking stories in the comments section.
"Literally lost family members who threatened to not attend so I told them not to," one said.
"Then a 'friend' said she's not coming to my hen now because she had a disagreement over money with my maid of honour!"
"What is up with people and fish?!" another exclaimed.
"I was told I HAD to give a fish option. Excuse me. I hate fish so I give a fish option that means I the bride don't have a choice on the day?"
"People are unhinged!" a third sighed
"We got married in Feb and some of the comments we got! The worst were from immediate family!!
"One moaned about the FREE wine choices on the table… don't drink it!!"

Seven injured in Fourth of July boat explosion on Georgia lake
Seven people in Georgia were hospitalized on the Fourth of July after a boat explosion on Lake Lanier. Around 7 p.m., Hall County Fire Rescue responded to reports of the 23‑foot cabin cruiser ablaze on Landshark Cove. The incident, caught on video, sent flaming debris shooting into the air, with flames reaching almost five feet high. The seven people aboard the boat, which was being towed, sustained second or third-degree burns. According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Hall County Fire officials, the victims ranged in age from 5 to 45 years old. "The operator towing the boat rescued all seven people and took them to waiting paramedics at Margaritaville," DNR officials said. Initial reports listed five injured, but that number later rose to seven as rescue crews assessed all passengers. Four injured people were transported to the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, with one of those being airlifted. Another passenger was taken by ambulance to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Alongside these hospitalizations, two other people received treatment and were stabilized on-site. Officials confirmed that all seven were in stable condition when they left the scene. Hall County Fire Rescue did not provide any further updates when contacted by The Independent on Saturday. Fire crews from Hall County and Gainesville quickly brought the flames under control using a portable pump and a marine rescue boat. After extinguishing the fire, responders towed the smoking vessel to shore. The Hall County Fire Marshal's Office has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the explosion. As of now, no official cause has been identified.

EXCLUSIVE The special meaning behind Mel B's wedding dress revealed as she shuns her trademark leopard print for traditional bridal gown
Mel B was the epitome of a beautiful, blushing bride for her wedding to Rory McPhee at St Paul's cathedral on Saturday. The Spice Girl, 50, is famed for her love of leopard print, but opted for a traditional bridal gown as she walked down the aisle for a third time. Mel's gorgeous gown was a bespoke design by Evelie Bridal Boutiques and featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing to her bridal look. Speaking to MailOnline about Mel's decision to go for the dress, Evelie Bridal Boutiques' owner Caroline Black revealed the singer wanted to embody 'strength, sensuality, and timeless glamour.' She added: 'From the moment Mel walked through the doors at Evelie, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress - what could possibly top that? But what's truly made this experience so meaningful is getting to know Mel as just Mel [not the icon, but the woman. It's been such an honour.' The Spice Girl, 50, is famed for her love of leopard print, but opted for a traditional bridal gown as she walked down the aisle for a third time (pictured in 1997) Designer Josephine Scott added: 'Designing this gown for Mel was about capturing her fearless spirit and softness all in one look. 'She's iconic, powerful, and radiant — and this dress had to be worthy of that. Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality, while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power.' While Mel opted for a traditional gown, as did groom Rory, who wore Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt. Emma Bunton, the only other Spice Girl in attendance - led the celebrity guests arriving for the wedding as Scary Spice prepared to walk down the aisle for the third time. While Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm were absent - Emma ensured she was there to support her friend. Also in attendance was Mel's sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin - who were dressed to impress for the ceremony. Emma echoed her Baby Spice days as she donned a bay pink mini dress worn with platform heels and a matching fascinator. She was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper as they joined Emma for the ceremony. Danielle looked radiant in a blue floral mini dress as she headed into the cathedral with her children Mimi, Hendrix and Myla. Gaby, 60, also looked incredible as she opted for a nude midi dress with a sheer overlay that she paired with a long pink coat. Earlier in the day, staff were seen organising the cathedral for the ceremony - which Mel has been given permission to wed in because she was awarded an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. Giant bouquets of white flowers were seen being brought through the front doors ahead of the guests arriving. MailOnline understands that the nuptials will see Rory's brother Jordan act as best man, while pal James Steen will fill in as father of the bride in place of Mel's late father Martin Brown and walk her down the aisle. Mel's nieces will be flower girls.

Donald Trump kisses Melania at July 4th party
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were caught kissing from the Truman Balcony on Friday ahead of Washington, D.C.'s grand Fourth of July fireworks display. The first couple kissed and hugged as supporters down below 'awww'-ed the scene. Trump hosted military families on the South Lawn for the occasion, marking the holiday with a picnic. Earlier in the night, he delivered a speech from the balcony before signing his 'Big Beautiful Bill' into law, as Congress made good on a promise to pass the mega piece of legislation before the Trump-imposed July 4 deadline. There were also a trio of military flyovers, including B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in recent military action over Iran. The Trumps had slipped into the West Wing but returned to watch the annual fireworks display over the National Mall. The DJ played patriotic tunes — but also a number of eyebrow-raising pop songs from artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, who vocally supported Trump's Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Perry's song "Firework" was played. Other tracks included HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan and Defying Gravity, sung by Cynthia Erivo in Wicked — both popular LGBTQ artists. A number of country hits were also in the mix. Audience members shouted 'four more years' and 'eight more years.' Trump is three and a half years into his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again — despite some Republicans backing an amendment to allow it, citing his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms. His walk-on song, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," was played multiple times during the event. As the fireworks ended, YMCA played — Trump's traditional walk-off tune. He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly join in, though neither performed the YMCA letter moves. The crowd included Cabinet members and Trump officials such as Joint Chiefs Chair Dan 'Razin' Caine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' after Trump's signing. Wiles was seen in conversation with Katie Miller, wife of top adviser Stephen Miller, who worked for VP Mike Pence in the previous administration and has been working with Elon Musk in this one. After weeks of tension over the bill, Musk is now threatening to start a political party and support Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie. Trump and Melania departed for their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort after the celebration, with the president pumping his fist as they boarded Air Force One.
