'I want to ban vaping from my wedding – it's tacky and ruins pictures'
A woman sparked controversy after admitting she wanted vapes completely banned from her wedding, because they give her "the ick". She explained her wedding is at the end of August, and they're having a ceremony and outdoor reception with a "festival vibe". But this is why she began panicking about the fact that everyone would be vaping.
"The photos of the day are really important to me, and I've spent a small fortune on our photographer. He's a casual photographer, so he will be mingling through groups of friends to take natural shots rather than staging anything," she explained on Reddit.
But she shared because the event is outside, she was "worried about how many people will be vaping".
She said many people who will be there do vape. "I really can't stand people holding a vape in photos, it gives me the ick," she seethed.
The bride-to-be explained on Reddit's 'Wedding Planning' forum: "I'm really worried it's going to ruin the aesthetic and cheapen the photos of the wedding, I don't want to look back at these pictures in years to come and see people puffing on vapes or with vapes in their hand."
She continued: "I want to send an email out through our wedding website asking guests to either hide their vapes in photos or even better to not bring them at all!
"Has anyone else banned vaping from their wedding before, or do I sound like Monica from Friends?"
In the comments, someone urged her to write the following on an invite: "Smoking and vaping will only be permitted in a designated spot per venue regulations."
They did warn, however, for her to "be prepared to have a big chunk of the guests in that designated spot for much of the wedding".
Someone penned: "Vaping is very second nature to a lot of people who do it. They don't even really notice they're doing it. So I would still be prepared to see people doing it. But a smoking area will be helpful for people to be more mindful."
A Redditor said if there is a designated smoking area, people will use it, but one man wrote: "Tell that to my aunt, who was smoking a cigarette at her seat during my brother's outdoor wedding. She also showed up late."
"A very much your aunt and unique problem," somebody responded.
A woman replied: "Not super unique. Some people will smoke anywhere and don't care at all if it's prohibited in that spot. I experience it every time I go to an outdoor concert at the big outdoor venue near me. It's banned, people do it anyway and it's never enforced."
However, another suggested they could go about it a different way, by mentioning vapes to the photographer, saying: "You unfortunately can't really have it both ways - if your photography is doing natural/unstaged shots then they're gonna capture people as they are which means with vapes in hands.
"You can control your photographer much more than your guests so maybe just tell the photographer to try to avoid getting vapes in shots."

Mitchell and Webb return for new comedy sketch show but fans are divided
David Mitchell and Robert Webb are set to return to Channel 4 later this year, and fans have been given their first glimpse of the sketch show with a new teaser Veteran comedians David Mitchell and Robert Webb are set to make their sketch show later this year, though a preview has divided audiences. Fans remain uncertain about what to expect from the Channel 4 programme, following an airport-themed sketch that the broadcaster shared across social media platforms. Whilst viewers were delighted to witness the return of the seasoned sketch show duo, known for Bruiser and That Mitchell and Webb Look, many were left hoping the material improves from here. Others were thoroughly entertained by the sketch, describing it as both hilariously funny and a remarkably accurate, albeit comedically exaggerated, portrayal of airport customs and security procedures. A discussion on the r/BritishTV Reddit forum saw supporters expressing their enthusiasm, with many celebrating the revival of sketch comedy from the Peep Show stars. One admirer of the piece commented: "It's nice to see sketch comedy returning!" Another contributed: "I enjoyed this sketch, there are some glum sods in this sub." A third remarked: "I don't know if this is funny or just depressingly accurate." While some celebrated Mitchell and Webb's return to sketch comedy, others remained hopeful for more amusing material ahead. One contributor observed: "Felt like Mitchell and Webb acting in a sketch written by Lee Mack and Catherine Tate." Another expressed mixed reactions following the sketch, noting: "I'll be fair and say I did laugh at a couple of jokes in it, but it also felt very dated in terms of subject matter. "Not saying every sketch has to be cutting edge, but it's weird to promote the show with a sketch that's basically the same as one that plenty of online sketch comedians have done before." A third bluntly stated: "It was pretty unfunny and obvious." The Peep Show duo confirmed their involvement in a fresh sketch programme, scheduled to air on Channel 4 later this year. Their joint statement reads: "When Channel 4 asked us to do another sketch show we were startled, bemused and available. "It's a perilous time for the industry and so it's our hope that relaunching the trickiest genre of comedy is a brilliant piece of counter intuitive commissioning. "We're confident that unlike Roger Moore with his shoe on the bonnet of a car teetering on the edge of a cliff in For Your Eyes Only [REPLACE WITH 21ST CENTURY REFERENCE?] we're not about to give British TV comedy a final lethal nudge into the abyss." This represents the pair's first comedic venture since Back, the Channel 4 dark comedy series which spanned two seasons.

Harry Potter fans only now spot 'major flaw' in one of series' biggest moments
Harry Potter fans believe they have discovered a "major flaw" in the series, with the rules of a game featured heavily in the early books from J.K. Rowling picked apart by Potterheads A "major flaw" has been found by fans of Harry Potter, who think one of the series' biggest moments is lacking. The Daniel Radcliffe -starring series spanned eight films and HBO are set to revive the J.K. Rowling book series with a remake, but fans are wondering whether a "huge error" will be rectified in the upcoming HBO remake. Harry Potter fans took to Reddit to discuss the issue, which can be traced all the way back to the books. An "unpopular opinion" was posted to the r/HarryPotter subreddit, where fans believe they have uncovered a huge problem with the fictional game, Quidditch. The game Quidditch appears in the Harry Potter series frequently, and features two teams of wizards attempting to score points by netting various balls in three hoops. But the Golden Snitch, a crucial plot element and part of the fictional game, has some detractors. One user wrote: "The rule/function of the golden snitch in Quidditch is stupid and completely ruins what would otherwise be an awesome sport to watch. "Imagine if in basketball each team had a player out in the parking lot trying to catch a frog for the win. You're watching a great gamer that's been neck and neck and then suddenly the buzzer sounds halfway through. 'The game is over, Ramirez has just got the parking lot frog.'" It's a sentiment shared by some of Harry Potter's biggest fans. One user wrote: "Not unpopular, just true, quidditch is designed as a mock sport." Another fumed: "It fit the early series much better, back when it was more of a fairy tale world and hadn't become too self-serious with its world building." A third shared: "Back when the books were aiming to be more whimsy than realistic, Quidditch was designed as a mockery of sports. Hence, how ridiculous it functions as a game." Despite the apparent mockery of sports, Quidditch initially proved popular with fans of the series. Other fans were keen to point out that, while catching the Golden Snitch would end the game, it was not necessarily an automatic win. One user wrote: "You don't win if you get the snitch. It's 150 points. It's to balance the game out if you are getting slaughtered. "The game ends when it's caught. It's strategy to hold off catching it in some cases." Another added: "Unpopular opinion: this is how basketball already feels. Two teams just take turns being in the lead and eventually the timer runs out and the team whose turn it was to be in the lead at that moment wins. It's like a two-hour game of eeny-meany-meiny-moe." A third wrote: "But overall you're correct, it was designed this way for story purposes; any other sport it would be silly to think a 6th grader could play a physical sport with high schoolers and contribute to wins."
