We congratulate them again? Of course, I don't know what to do, of course and then we fawn over every detail. You know what guys just go to Instagram. Like I'm sorry to be that guy but just go Instagram it go look it up. Yeah. I mean, it looks great. What can you just give me a rundown the guess the must have details? What did they do for the second wedding? I did I didn't even look I would love to tell you Lisa, but I didn't look any deeper into this. I don't know so we don't as I don't care. Okay. Well, I want your You know what? If you want to see go looked well, thanks for the mention. Anyway, what's what's what's the next in the news part? According to Taste of Country.com. John party is a party. Yeah charity party is getting married the heartache medication singer proposed to his girlfriend summer Duncan during his headlining set at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday night October 2nd items to be that is but Congratulations, I'm assuming he's a country singer. Yes. Okay, that's why I don't know who this is. I've never heard of him and I've never heard of her take medication. I've also I have heard of the Ryman Auditorium. So let's all give the Ryman Auditorium the clap and congratulations. Well done. Well done for me my Auditorium. He must be doing. All right, if he's playing Ryman Auditorium, so there you go. There you go. Now this week in the fuck it bucket. Yo boy. This pissed me off. Why Lisa? I'm not alone in this. Okay, so Praise be Kendra and Torsten are married insert praying Emoji here. Now. This was actually posted. Okay by a photographer in Cambridge Ontario, which is not far from us. You're not going to say their name. Yes. I will. I'm just giving some background as I'm sure they want me to say their name. So believe me. I'm saying their name van daele. In Russell, that is the photographer. I've never heard of these people but they have like forty thousand likes on Instagram. So I'm like apparently I'm just so far removed from the local photography seen. I have no idea what's going on anymore. Do you know these people? No. Okay, so I think they're out there in London, Ontario anyway. Good God, they posted a photo of a bride and a groom kissing in front of the hanging wall from a handmaid's tale surrounded by handmaids. So I'm going to read you the rest of this fucking post and then I will tell you why it's in the fucking bucket. So praise be Kendra and Torsten are married praying Emoji if there's any. The handmaid's tale fans out there. You'll know most of its filmed in Cambridge. So as fans of the show, it only seemed fitting for there to be some handmaids in que antes wedding photos along the hanging wall in milrays park laughing emoji. Praying Emoji. Okay, Emoji camera Emoji. Okay. Listen. I don't even know where to start with this for those. I feel like I have to go back a step for those who haven't seen it without any spoilers because you all need to watch this or read this book. Well, you won't you also won't be able to see this picture unless you go into groups where people have screenshotted because they have removed it. They have not they have no way. Yep, but NBC News did cover it ha ha ha Funny so tell you what, if you want to see this go to our flock chat group or go to our Facebook group and we will put it in the episode thread. Okay. There we go. All right. So it is a picture of a bride and groom kissing surrounded by handmaids. Now, here's the problem. If you don't follow the handmaids to if you do follow the handmaid's tale, you're going what the fuck if you are logical and human. If you do not know what the handmaid's tale is, let me give you a really quick crash course without any spoilers. Okay. So essentially what it is is It's a flash-forward of like the future not super far near future which is what makes it terrifying and disturbing that women have been relegated to the you know, support role of basically being slaves for baby-making because apparently there has been an epidemic where women aren't able to conceive and actually carry children to term everybody has been affected by this. Nobody knows why and there are only a few women left in the entire world that can actually eat something. With radiation no. Well, okay not that was set in the show. I never read the book. So maybe you read I know you read the book. So you probably have more background than I do, but they didn't give a reason at least that I recall in the show. But either way women can't you know, they're having you know miscarriages. They like nobody can get pregnant or carry a baby to term. So the very few that have been pregnant and carry a baby to term they get their children taken away from Um them and they become handmaids and they are given as handmaids to powerful men in this disgusting future world where women's jobs are taken away and they're basically you're either a slave a useless slave or you are a sex slave to have ibeacon donut like the wives. Yes. So the wives of the you know, the wives of the powerful men are also in on it and basically there's just as you can probably see There's a lot of reasons why this shouldn't be a wedding theme women are constantly raped. Yeah raped all the time. The story is about rape essentially. Yeah, so and using us as service animals essentially. So how is this a good idea and I get that they're trying to go viral. They're trying to do all this but I don't think it's a good idea just because you can do something doesn't Don't mean you should. I think that I think the problem is that you know now they're trying to backpedal and make it about how they're bringing awareness to different things and there's a bunch of their response was truly disgusting. The only thing they're bringing awareness to is how big of a dick they were for put this picture up and honestly on his personal Facebook, he had it as his his cover photo. He was all happy with what he And and oh, yeah, I was just shocked because I don't know. I don't know how you can do that and people are outraged. They really are because not only were they insulting everybody with their response. But you know, they didn't they just they just didn't stop for a minute to think about what they were actually doing I can we just say the response said something along the lines of okay. Well we agree. With all of you, it's good. We wanted to get this talked about and bullshit bullshit bullshit and it's like no no. No, you just wanted to kick kick up a storm and you know get more followers and I'm sorry that's not it doesn't excuse using that as a prop. Yeah, and it they also said take a step back and consider you may not actually know the facts either. This image was created and put out by a pair of gender traders who are no strangers to many of the subplots of Oppression. I'm sorry what but yeah, I mean had they seen the couple in the photo was gender Traders or that they know they're saying they're being called gender traitor. Sorry that was in Asians I know who who was the photographer who are the gay people in this for the record the handmaid's tale calls gay people algae BT Q gender Traders, that's part of the story. Yeah. So, who were they saying where the gender Traders putting out this photo? That this image was created and put out by a pair of gender traders who are no strangers to many of the subplots of Oppression violence and inequality that run through Margarets brilliant work. Okay. So what they're saying is the photography team who put this out our lgbtq and apparently that's a good enough reason for this. Yeah, but it's not. Yeah, so where it went on to say, like everyone's reacting the exactly as they expected. Oh just like in Gilead and missing the opportunity. Think for themselves to educate themselves their Patron izing us now and become engaged in correcting Humanities break down instead of instantly attacking. Oh, so we should be thankful for them yet. They could doing with congrats for adding to that today. Why exactly are you offended question mark have you asked yourself question mark and what are you actively doing about it in the real world question mark I want to thank you. Thrilled we're thrilled that this is starting a conversation. Thank you for being moved by an issue. This is so bad. My face right now is not that deserves much much more attention and don't forget if this had been a happy couple surrounded by superheroes like Batman and Superman. You wouldn't have even stop scrolling to comment June along with every fighting handmade or human in the midst of struggle and oppression is the ultimate superhero kiss hug s&c. Oh your face. Oh my god. Oh, no, that's not a thing. You can say or know your compare. No. Yeah. I'm sorry. You are so hard in the fucking bucket this week. I can't even deal with you. Nope, guys, the fucking bucket is full of like shit. You shouldn't do and wedding photos because it's just not fucking good for Humanity. It's don't do it. Yeah, it's insensitive and shitty. I like some of the photographer's coming out of the woodwork to comment about how badly Photoshopped it was. Actually one of the one I saw was like does it annoy anybody else that their hoods aren't even on both sides and I was like, yes, thank you. That's what's bothering me the most about this photo I kid. But it's true. It was like, you know, what was up one was down one was and I'm like I would have spent a lot more time moving that girl over there and moving that girl of yeah, but no, I think the issue is that people, you know, and people were saying a stop being so sensitive and this net you guys yo, we love him. This is their society now. Oh, yeah, and I think people need to adjust. Okay, I don't think you know, everybody else needs to adjust. I think we need to adjust what we're actually putting out there. You know, it's a balance of the two. Yes for sure. But I do I mean I'm not put that photo out know and expect it. Oh, I'm sure they wanted it to go viral. I'm sure that was the point and I think a lot of people say, you know, it's even bad publicity is good publicity. I will tell you right now, it's not only the photo but their response that I will be shocked if they are business survives. Yeah, I will be I really will be I'll be I would be shocked because I first of all I don't know how that couple even let that slide. Yes of all. How did they think this was a good idea and I was wondering out loud in my head. Like is anybody attacking the couple? Yeah. I don't know. I know according to NBC News the couple refused to comment about it. Oh smart for once. Hmm, you know what and If I was that couple and it wasn't something and my photographer went and did that on their own I'd be like remove me do not do that to me. Like I wouldn't want to be put out there like that. Hmm But I think you would have taken the photo in the first place though. Oh fuck no like bullying is a photographer. We're trained to recognize any unique opportunity. It would have fully crossed my mind and I would have immediately went nope. You know, that's a big old. Nope. Nope. Yeah, even it and you know Lisa it goes with those all those other photos to I'm not saying this is the same but I'm saying like this were putting this shit in the fucking bucket as well is that you know showing your PIN he's showing your couch blowjobs, like all of this all of that. You know, what come on Bad Idea photo shoots. Yes. Oh my God, I can't even yeah. I can't even also being chased by giant things in Not doing that either so fuck off. Oh my God, so stupid. Okay. I can't as we lived. Hey, I survived 11 years is wedding photographer through that Trend. So and I didn't do it one day. I'm time. Oh my gosh, it's so crazy. But yeah, so if you're thinking about having a handmaid's tale themed wedding don't don't do that. Maybe don't that didn't that didn't we're gonna put you in the fuck it bucket didn't the Kardashians have a Halloween party? Arthur's was a birthday party. Yeah. Yeah, they had a handmaid's tale themed birthday party. Yep. Yeah, you can't compare superheroes to the handmaid's tale think that's a whole level of stupidity. I can't even back up. Like I just can't that was like a Stretch Armstrong level stretch for yes, right. I just nope. It's true can't get there my gosh. I can't even yeah, so if you're all riled up about it, so Everyone else and join us. Yeah, and they removed it. So they've taken it down. They've taken down the comments taken down the post. He's removed it from his personal Facebook as well. That's a shame. He was so proud of it. Okay, he was very proud of it. And even in his personal one, he was basic saying it's not a big deal. Like I don't even know. Well, I hope he knows now. I think he's a problem. You're the problem. I love my engagement ring, but I always wanted a bigger Stone. I started looking at diamonds. It was going to cost us like 12 to 15 thousand dollars. I always just assumed that I would buy diamond everything but after looking into it and comparing diamond versus Moissanite.

For the wedding breakfast a Sweepstake goes around to guess how long the best man speech will last I drop my Fiverr in and plot for 11 minutes 40 seconds. It's a proper Posh do expensive as fuck. That's so English. I love it. The bride's parents were loaded. It gets to speech time. Nothing seems unusual. The Father of the Bride does a good one. It's the groom's turn. He kicks off talking about how the two of them met. Get this half times they had on little money struggling from temporary job to temporary job constantly battling to keep their heads above water financially he bangs on about how proud he was when after several fails. She finally got her accounting qualifications and she could earn serious wedge, which I assume means money and that's just so cute. So cute finally years of evening classes with him home alone were over but no She wanted to do more classes. So given she had more earning potential than him. He agreed. He carries on explaining how proud he is of her beavering away. It's great for so many evenings. He adds how thankful. He is for several Lads in the room bringing him to the position. He was in a strange choice of words. I thought he asked the men in the room to turn over their dinner plates main course was yet to be served. And and stand up if they had a red dot on the underneath of their plate. I do I have no Red Dot eight men stand up some bemusedly one or two suddenly looking uncomfortable at being the center of the attention one is a brother of the groom. Another is his boss. Our groom pulls out a rather thick envelope and hands it to his bride explaining that it's traditional to give the bride a present on the wedding day. And he wanted to give her something unique that very few Brides have probably ever had she opens it baffled. We are all baffled. Well, she starts to read he explains that he's known all along that. She's been sleeping around for years and that he has photos to prove it. She is openly crying now the standing men look like they wish they were someplace else. He apologizes to the wives of the standing men who presumably also wish they were someplace else one of them stands up and walks out leaving her husband behind. He says your present my dear our papers for our divorce with that. He puts the mic down should have dropped it for a fact really and walks out pursued by a furious father-in-law who is probably angry about wasting the best part of 40,000 pounds on the wedding. Holy shit. Yeah. That's a good one. It's not crazy. That's insane. Oh dear. I love I love the story the random story about the contest for the longest speech bet it has nothing to do with anything else it totally it totally sent me down the Primrose path. I was expecting like a best man's story. Oh God that that's fucked. That's fuck. Yeah. That's a whole level. Yeah. That's a good one. But wow, I I mean to go to that extent he put little dots on the bottom of their plates. I appreciate that effort, you know, like it's the it's the details that really make a wedding unique and special right? These people are my heroes. Yeah me too.

All right. Our next story is from Carrie. Okay. I love your podcast. I have binged every episode over the last four months. You guys have gotten me through long commutes long workdays and heartbreak. Thank you so much for the laughs. I've shared your show with anyone with a pulse. But especially my friends who are freshly engaged awesome fresh meat Rebecca. Yes. And now she has two tails for us, but we're I'm only giving you one this week. Okay, they aren't super flashy. But to be honest would just love to hear your commentary wedding went wedding one. I attended as a guest in high school. It was very Catholic ceremony for my very Catholic teacher from my very Catholic School System. We were in the cathedral for more than two hours Miss Mary. Let's call her that for the sake of calf. The Catholic theme was the eldest daughter of my family friends. So I had grown up with her as my babysitter and my middle school history teacher. She had often made comments about wanting to find her prince charming and I could tell even at age 10 that she was feeling pressure from the fact that all her younger siblings were married before her which is sucky for a whole bunch of reasons since she was really independent. I looked up to her for that. I think the pressure mostly came from her parents our small-town Midwestern Community was very traditional and some days archaic. Like all the girls in my high school class were given the book how to find God's Prince Charming for you as a graduation gift. Oh, that's a whole lot of problems right there under his eye. Well, the guys were given study planners because that was the expectation for our College Years, but I digress yikes. That's a whole lot of yikes praise me when Miss Mary finally found God's Prince Charming for her. She was determined to You do everything right? He let's call him Joseph to stay on brand. I appreciate that. Yeah, we're so in love with her and really seemed quite perfect for her. Joseph was more than willing to do whatever it took to make her happy. He got a new job and move States for her. He was prepared to wait until marriage for her. He even converted for her because he knew how important Catholicism was for her. So after a long engagement waiting on him to get confirmed as a member of the Holy Catholic Church their wedding day finally arrived. It was beautiful everything blush pink and gold. Oh Lisa your favorite. Hey string quartet the high school chamber choir probably 300 guests filling the historic church, the priest gave a beautiful sermon and led them through their vows. It was perfect until the groom leaned in to kiss his bride and she dodged the kiss the fuck. Oh awkward. I'm talking a matrix bullet dodging back bed. Most epic swerves of f epic swerves. There was an awkward beat and the priest cleared his throat and decided to press on probably trying to cover for the poor groom about an hour later when they were finally wrapping up the service that priest ends the formal mass and says while looking at Miss Mary you are allowed to kiss the I do know you can kiss and church if it's your wedding and they did finally get their kiss too much Applause. But wow, what an awkward moment the groom's ego. Definitely took a hit that day. Why did she dodged that? Oh God, is it because she's super religious. I don't know. I mean has she never been to a wedding? I don't know. All I know is that I would have been hilarious to see though. Yeah, I mean I would have been laughing for sure, but it's weird and you know what? I mean, there are certain religions that don't kiss in public and stuff like that. For sure. Yeah some South Asians. Yeah, maybe a Jewish ones. Yep, but I've never seen it in a Catholic. I know the good sometimes the priest tells them they're not allowed to kiss. Yeah, but he said they could I know. That's the weird thing. That's so crazy. I don't even know what to I've had my clients. Like they want to have the kiss picture but the group that priest will put it in the ceremony just because they just won't they refused. So we they sneak in at the end like right before you go back down the aisle. I'm like have a kiss. I'll get the picture for you and then you walk back. Yeah, that's weird that I don't know weird and hilarious, but thank you for that. That was really entertaining for us. Not so much for the groom. But for us yes, yes. Well written and I like the names very well done. Yes. Hey ladies, please. Don't use my name. I'd like a badass name for this story. So use your imaginations to Lula your now Tallulah. How is that a badass name? I don't know it. I thought of it ReSound so pretty Tallulah. Oh she wants badass Sigourney Weaver Sigourney. Okay, you know what? That's great. We're going to Sigourney Halloween's coming up alien. Love it. Okay, we're here with exactly horny right Sigourney rights. I love your podcast. I enjoy your escapades through headphones at work. I get married in May. And I'm binging all of your episodes. I'm currently on episode 70. I enjoy you so much. I feel I owe you a story. This definitely isn't as dramatic as a lot of your content, but it was a cringy uh-oh moment. Those are some of our faves don't ever under play against Gio moment. Right exactly. Why the name screams exists, right? Yes, so to set the scene a beautiful old Manor House in the English Countryside magnificent Gardens with a lake and Ducks a large. Fountains surrounding Fields with cows and sheep and a stunning Church a few minutes away. It was super pretty the groom who is my cousin is from a lovely family. Everyone's nice. My auntie in particular is a babe. She is just a genuinely lovely lady super tolerant and has a really calming Vibe about her. So the day progresses beautifully, we cry laughs drink eat. Lalala Shake syrup of amazing then it's time. Time for the speeches. My cousin has his brother as one best man. He does a short speech sweet, but he's quite shy so he kept it simple fine. Then it was time for his other best man. Speech. I would rise the other best man's voice got to be a good reason. Oh boy in my opinion the second best man had Googled how to give a best man's speech tried and failed. I fucking hate when people do that. Even though I do it's jokes were cringy and just missed the funny mark. It was awkward to watch as he reaches the end of his speech. He shares a secret with his audience. He recounts a night that he'd been out with the groom in their friend group gotten wasted of course and decided to steal some traffic cones. Ha ha that's actually funny amazing in England. This is quite a classic drunken teen activity. However on this occasion there were police Nearby and watching when asked to stop playing with the traffic cones the groom decided to backchat the police. I guess that means talk back and run away with a traffic cone for fun. He's kind of my hero right now, right clearly the police on duty were having a what the actual fuck day and went after him. Oh, no, the groom now has a criminal record. Oh no and to this day he has As to explain it in job interviews as it shows up on Security checks. That's amazing. That's great. Now I didn't know this and found it quite entertaining. I've been out with him drunk and I can totally see it happening. My husband would do this. Yeah. Totally would it on my head? Oh God his mom. However, burst into tears. Oh, no, she was so upset with him for doing such a stupid thing but more so for keeping it a secret for nearly 10 years. It's not exactly the thing you go over for Thanksgiving. Giving real like Mom. I've got something to share with you. What have you been up to this point? Well, I have a criminal record for stealing a traffic cone. So great the best man's face turned into a what the fuck have I done expression and he quietly sat down without his cheers. My dad took me my poor Auntie spent the rest of the evening. Remember UK weddings are 12 to 2 trying hard to smile but confided in my parents later about how devastated she was to have found out such a thing during a speech at her son's Reading so best men know your audience and if you aren't funny don't bother trying. That is solid advice Sigourney. Thank you so much for your story. That's all that's a great story - it's so funny. He was totally outed. That's hilarious. Okay guys today.

In the F**k It Bucket this week is the infamous Handmaid’s Tale wedding photo. We discuss why this is a completely crappy thing to do, and what the photographers said when pretty much everyone had a problem with it. We hear about a groom who gave his new wife a “gift” at the reception … and then lowered the boom! A listener sends in a story about a SUPER religious Catholic bride who tied the knot and then DODGED her husband’s first kiss! A groom has a hilarious criminal record that comes out at the reception thanks to a best man’s speech. A child has a surprise for a bride and it’s awful (aka the best reason ever to have a child-free wedding!) Want more Secret Life of Weddings?
