Bride's Future Mother-in-Law Keeps ‘Making Threats' About Wearing White to the Wedding
A bride took to Reddit to vent about her future mother-in-law
The mother-in-law has been threatening to wear white on the bride's wedding day, even sending her texts with examples of dresses
Commenters think she should ignore the woman and have her fiancé deal with his motherOne bride's future mother-in-law is on the verge of a major wedding day faux pas.
The future newlywed took to Reddit's Wedding Drama subreddit to share her struggles with her future mother-in-law. Noting that she and her fiancé recently got engaged, the poster said 'everyone was really happy and excited for us,' at first, but then her partner's mother changed her tone.
'My MIL started 'jokingly' saying that I should watch out because she might just show up to the wedding wearing a white dress,' the bride wrote. 'These were her literal words, in the MIDDLE of our engagement dinner.'
At the time, the bride said her future husband 'tried to divert the topic of the conversation' and 'kept telling her that everyone knew she wouldn't dare (as a warning).'
However, a week later, the future mother-in-law was continuing to text the bride about wearing white to the wedding.
'She's been sending me screenshots of white dresses she's found around that she 'might want to wear to the big day!'" the poster said. 'What should I do? I'm starting to get really angry, but I don't want to start an argument with her either.'
She added that her fiancé's mother is 'very dramatic' and thinks that if she confronts her 'it will influence her mood throughout the whole wedding planning.'
Most of the commenters urged the bride to ignore her future mother-in-law and have her fiancé take over communication with her.
'I have been replying with messages that avoid the main point of the issue, like, 'haha, yeah Debs (not her real name), slit dresses are your thing after all!' ' the OP (original poster) replied. 'But I also don't know if I should ignore her 100%? Should I? He's been helping as much as he can. I asked him if he talked to her about this and he said he has and to please be patient with her 'jokes.' But it just gets on my nerves.'
Others felt the mother-in-law was intentionally riling her up.

'Yes, I feel like she's setting me up in a way,' the bride replied. 'She tends to play mind games and, like I said, I don't want to end up being the bad guy in the story. So I guess I'll just let him deal with her. Idk, I feel like I'm depending too much on him, maybe that's silly.'
One commenter had a particularly creative solution.
'Please make sure to enlist one of your bridesmaids to spill a large glass of red wine down her front if she does this,' the commenter wrote.

"Our Leaders Are Expected To Set The Standard In Both Conduct And Accountability": The Company That Employs The CEO Who Was Called Out By Coldplay For Allegedly "Having An Affair" Has Issued A Statement
During a "kiss cam" moment at Coldplay's Boston concert this past Wednesday, the camera landed on a couple who had been then suddenly seemed to panic at being put on the screen. And let's just say, the whole situation was very awkward. @jennyquack / Here is the viral clip that has been viewed well over 53 million times. Chris Martin called them out, saying, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The moment has gone viral, and the pair has been identified as Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot. The internet has not held back its opinions on the matter, and now a formal statement by the company has been made. BuzzFeed spoke to Astronomer's Director of Communication Taylor Jones, who confirmed the statement is posted on LinkedIn and X. It reads, "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.

Set Photo From THE PUNISHER Reveals When the Marvel Special Presentation Takes Place — GeekTyrant
A new set photo from Marvel Studios' upcoming Punisher Special Presentation might have just confirmed when the story unfolds in the MCU timeline. Jon Bernthal first brought Frank Castle to life in Daredevil season 2 on Netflix, a performance so strong it launched his own two-season Punisher series in the Defenders Saga. After a highly anticipated return in Daredevil: Born Again in 2025, Bernthal is back once more in his own MCU spinoff. The Special Presentation, set to hit Disney+ in 2026, is now filming with Reinaldo Marcus-Green directing and co-writing alongside Bernthal. The latest detail comes from @_DaredevilShots on X, which shared a first-look image from the set. The photo shows a poster for a concert happening on Sunday, July 18, a date that only aligns with the year 2027. This strongly suggests that Frank Castle's next chapter takes place in that year, placing the Punisher story shortly after the events of Daredevil: Born Again season 1. Most of Born Again' s first season is set in early 2027, shortly after the New Year. With Season 2 expected in March 2026 and Bernthal appearing there as well, it seems the Punisher's solo outing happens just months later, in a New York City still under Mayor Wilson Fisk's oppressive rule. The MCU timeline has been a frequent point of debate since the five-year jump in Avengers: Endgame set the universe ahead of real time. Now, with 2026 releases taking place in 2027, Marvel is gradually catching up. If this pace continues, the timeline may sync with the real world by the time Avengers: Secret Wars arrives in 2027 to close out the Multiverse Saga. The Punisher Special Presentation doesn't have an official release date yet, but it's expected to premiere on Disney+ after Daredevil: Born Again season 2. Are you ready for Bernthal's Punisher to take center stage in the MCU once again?
