"I'm an open book," she added. "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.

Moment Groom Makes Horrible Mistake During Vows Caught on Camera: 'Oh Dear'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A wedding ceremony in the English countryside took an unexpected turn when a nervous groom said something his bride will never forget. In a clip on TikTok, husband and wife Andrew, 51, and Rebecca Fildes, 43, stood before friends and family in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, exchanging vows on what should have been a picture-perfect day. But things briefly veered off-script when the groom accidentally blurted out his ex-girlfriend's name—just as he was about to marry the love of his life.

Andrew, holding Rebecca's hands in his, responded, "I take you, Sarah..." The bride, guests and even Andrew himself burst into laughter as the moment played out. Thankfully, Rebecca understood and didn't hold it against him. "His ex-girlfriend's name is Sarah, [and] so is one of my middle names," she told Newsweek. "I understood he was nervous and slipped up." Rebecca and Andrew—who she affectionately calls "Andi"—met in their hometown village shop in Harlington. Their friendship grew online before it blossomed into romance. The two are a classic case of opposites attracting. "I'm a lot more outgoing and sociable," Rebecca said. "Andi is more introverted and sensible." Thankfully, Rebecca wasn't upset—just amused. "He didn't even realize he'd left 'Rebecca' out," she said. "I told him and he said, 'I'm so sorry, I was so nervous that I'd do something wrong.' We laughed about it." Simply captioned: "Oh dear," Rebecca posted the clip on TikTok (@scalesfeathersandfur), which has amassed over 34,000 views. Dozens of users reacted in the comments, jumping to Andrew's defense. "To be fair I think he just got HER names in the wrong order due to anxiety. He looks besotted with her. Congratulations," one user wrote. But some weren't as understanding, claiming they would "walk out" if it had happened to them. Many others referenced the iconic Friends episode where Ross says Rachel's name at the altar. "Ross and Rachael ... I mean Emily moment," one user laughed. The couple tied the knot on October 21, 2023, and the ceremony was otherwise smooth, aside from the unexpected name-drop. Nearly two years into marriage, the couple are enjoying their life together. "We are still very much happily married and live each others company," she said.

An Unfortunate Reminder About ‘Wednesday' Season 2's Release This Week On Netflix
Well, it's a big week for Netflix, one of its biggest in history. That's because its most popular English-language show of all time is returning after three years, Wednesday, which somehow took that amount of time to make another eight episodes. It releases this uh, Wednesday, August 6, but that's only half the story. We are in an unfortunate situation where Netflix has decided yet again to roll out an incredibly irritating practice. While this was not the case for season 1, Netflix is splitting Wednesday season 2 into two four-episode halves a month apart. Why does Netflix keep doing this? The pattern, generally speaking, is that the first season of a show is kept as one whole to get viewers on board, but then if it's a hit, they split future seasons in half. Not always, but most of the time, and that's what they're doing for Wednesday. At least it's not Stranger Things season 5, which is getting split into three parts, with two of them on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Going to say that's a little bit presumptuous, Netflix. The reason this is happening is because Netflix has deemed it acceptable to potentially lose viewership after people are forced to wait a month, but with the ability to keep them on the hook for two months of a subscription, rather than just signing up, watching the show, and cancelling it immediately. It may also drive people to sign-up again and then go 'what the hey, I'll just pay for a year I guess.' So it's all economic, as clearly it's not for creative reasons. This is also awkward, because if a show is doing this, it usually has to make a mid-season cliffhanger to get people to come back, so expect some sort of dramatic finale for episode 4. Wednesday season 2 has a lot to live up to with season 1 being the most-viewed series in Netflix history in terms of English programming, behind only Squid Game season 1 overall. With Stranger Things, we've seen future seasons top past seasons as interest grew, so that might happen here. But with Squid Game, the opposite was true, and both new seasons did not come close to the season 1 numbers. Wednesday is already renewed for season 3, and it is likely they will keep having Jenna Ortega return for this as long as she agrees to it. Ortega has taken the long gap to make a number of movies, albeit I would not consider many of them to be terribly good. Wednesday season 2? It better be. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson and those endless relationship rumors
A new celebrity super couple is in the spotlight. Well, alleged super couple. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's cozy red carpet and buzzy press moments promoting their new film "The Naked Gun" has the rumor mill working overtime. Are these two a couple or not?! "Let the Liam and Pam dating (rumors) be true, I'm shipping them so hard right now. The world needs this," one X user wrote. Another: "Pam and Liam is the best news I've gotten in 2025 so far." Skeptics are out there, too: "Hello. Everyone understands that the Liam Neisen/Pam Anderson 'relationship' is fake and only for their movie, right? Or am I jaded and insane." It can be trying when those around you won't stop guessing your relationship status. This difficulty is magnified for celebrities, who see their relationship ups-and-downs become the subject of international news headlines and social media trends. Until the rumors are confirmed, it's fine to speculate in private and see hope for the pair. Don't let your gossiping go too far, though. Parasocial relationships can be innocent. But when they get out of hand, "stan culture" can lead to everything from "addictive tendencies" to "stalking behavior," according to research. Is there a psychological component? Everyone spends part of their day being unproductive – it's OK if yours involves gossiping about celebrities. This idea has as an underlying psychology: the idea of "celebrity worship." Research by Dr. Randy A. Sansone and Dr. Lori A. Sansone, published in 2014 in "Innovations in Clinical Neuroscience," found that so-called "celebrity worshippers" might "harbor concerns about body image (particularly young adolescents), be more prone to cosmetic surgery" and could display "narcissistic features, dissociation, addictive tendencies, stalking behavior, and compulsive buying." Studies revealed that those with intense celebrity worship levels were more likely to struggle with their mental health. The saturation of celebrity culture in media provides some explanation for public interest. Some level of celebrity worship, then, is inevitable. But that doesn't mean it will always reach the "stan" level. Casual purveyors of celebrities might find Neeson and Anderson cute, albeit not worth talking about. In case you missed it: Pamela Anderson celebrates 'Naked Gun' release with Liam Neeson in sweet new photos Guess all you want, but be careful David Schmid, associate professor of English at the University at Buffalo, previously told USA TODAY some celebrities don't get involved more directly with their fans in an effort to not bite the hand that feeds them. We've always demanded a lot from celebrities – for them to be absolutely unlike us but also relatable. "A celebrity cannot possibly satisfy both of those requirements at the same time," Schmid says. Schmid thinks stan culture need not be demonized, but used as a force for good. "A big part of the pleasure is the purity of the obsession, and the purity of the extremity," Schmid says. Guess all you want about Liam and Pam. Just don't go to drastic extremes on social media to prove your point in the process.
