Here's what it says:
My SIL and I were planning weddings around the same time. She is one of those brides that needs/wants everything to be instagram worthy, Pinterest perfect.
I had been in the family for around three years prior to the engagement. I have been type 1 diabetic for over 20 years. I have a omnipod (tubeless insulin pump) and a cgm. These are small external devices.
So come the weeks leading up to SIL’s wedding, i get a request that i make sure my cgm is not visible for photos. I wear both on my abdomen so it seemed like a weird request because they are never visible. That’s when she informed me that she wanted them not visible in photos, the bridesmaids dresses were tight and you could see the small bumps of my devices through the dress. I asked her how she proposed i do that. She told me spanx — double layered spanx. Well i tried that…except then the devices couldn’t connect to the pdms, too much fabric layers interfered. I informed her of this.
She them told me to take them off for the day. Yeah…um I NEED insulin. I did not remove them and she sulked and glared the whole time we got ready.

ISO a videographer for my wedding in Tuscany on 9/27/2023. I am shopping around both in the states and internationally. So far international vendors are more affordable as I wouldn't have to pay travel fees but I'd love to hire someone who is willing to waive their travel fees (or is more affordable/up and coming) for the opportunity to expand their portfolio. Thanks!

38.This bride literally expected a guest to cut their hair into a pixie cut for her wedding.
Here's what it says:
I have wavy brown hair. I used to have a pixie cut, which I maintained for six years. While I did love it, the main reason why I kept cutting it short was because it looked awful whenever it grew longer. Last year, it started growing well for the first time in forever, so I decided to grow it out. I haven't gotten a haircut since January 2022, and my hair is now just past my shoulders. I have no interest in cutting it shorter right now.
Anyway, my childhood friend "Ally" is getting married next month. Last week, I saw her for the first time in a while at our friend's birthday party. The first thing she did when she spotted me was comment on my hair, saying she was shocked it looked as pretty as it did.
The next day, Ally called to say she wanted me to get a pixie cut again for her wedding day. I was a bit shocked, but politely declined.
As much as I loved having short hair, I had to get it cut every 3 months to keep the hairstyle. If I didn't, I'd get a mullet that would put Hulk Hogan to shame. I have my own wedding coming up next year, and I want my hair to be longer by then. Also, while it's not too far off my budget to get 4 haircuts a year, I had a baby 3 months ago, and I'd rather spend that money on diapers and clothing.
Ally got more forceful, demanding me to do it. She said that her family, who hasn't seen me in years, still thinks I "look like a boy", and that seeing me with longer, more "feminine" hair would take her spotlight. I'm wearing a dress to the wedding, and my boobs have increased twice in size since I started breastfeeding, so I don't think I'd "look like a boy" even if I did get a pixie cut, but oh well.
I offered to wear a wig (my friend has one he can lend me), but nope. She wants me to cut it. I might've considered her request if I was in the wedding party, but I'm not. I'm just a guest.
Ally hasn't banned me from the wedding or anything drastic, but is clearly bitter about this. She's been making passive-aggressive comments about my refusal in our group chat, and keeps sending me old pictures of us from when my hair was still short.
I really don't want to budge on this, but I'm starting to doubt myself. AITA?
