My cousin is getting married this weekend and the whole family is mad about her not letting kids come to the wedding.

Most of the family will have to travel across states just to attend this wedding. The wedding is in Tennessee, but a lot of the family lives in Florida, we’ve got another branch of the family in Colorado, and one of my cousins currently lives in a different country. One of my cousins had already bought plane tickets for her, her husband, and her 2 kids before she was told that the kids couldn’t come to the wedding.

Three of my cousins already have multiple children. One of my cousins is a single mom of two girls, another one has a boy and a girl and the third cousin has a two-year-old and six month old twins. I’m not sure at the moment if it’s just the littles that are not allowed because the oldest of my cousins’ combined children is 13 so he and the other two who are close in age with him won’t be disruptive like a toddler would potentially be.

If only the littles aren’t allowed, that means that the single mom will be able to bring one of her children, but not the other and my other cousin will either have to be separated from her twin babies who are still nursing or miss the wedding.

I don’t even have the bride’s phone number nor do I feel like I have a close enough relationship with her to question her decisions about her wedding. We’ve lived our whole lives in different states and I usually only see her once every couple of years.

I understand why some brides don’t want babies and toddlers at their wedding but it’s a huge inconvenience to our cousins with small children since they can’t just hire a babysitter for the day. I feel like since she’s making her cousins with children travel across state lines to attend her wedding, she should just give in and let them bring their children to the wedding especially since the whole family is upset about this decision she’s made.

Update: I have been told that anyone under 18 is not allowed at the wedding because the venue was more important to my cousin than having her family at her wedding and because of this, half of the family is not going to her wedding in order to look after all the kids. I was also told that children would not be allowed at the rehearsal dinner but I am at the rehearsal dinner as I am typing this and there are two infants that I have never met before and are not related to me or the bride in any way. Apparently only non family members are allowed to bring their children.

I watched The dominATE Experience on Prime Video today and the camera quality ruined the experience. It was really bad. It was really inconsistent too. At times I couldn’t make out a single facial feature and at other times I could actually see Felix’s freckles. For those who watched it in the theater, was the video quality better when you watched it? I haven’t heard of anyone else complaining about it so I’m curious. I paid money to watch this movie and it looks like it was shot on a 10 year old iPhone.

Was Zi Qi a self insert or was he another transmigrator?

I’m not sure how to explain it but sometimes authors will create a character that is meant to be a version of themselves. It’s a way of inserting themselves into the story. Zi Qi says he is Fu Zhou in the last episode but it’s not like he’s knew that the whole time. It’s something he had just figured out. He could either be Fu Zhou’s self insert character that has awakened or he could actually be Fu Zhou who just remembered that he is also a transmigrator. Miao Miao forgot for a while that she wasn’t really from that world and in one of Ding Yuxi’s other dramas, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, his character transmigrated into a screenplay and literally became the character he was playing. He didn’t remember the real world while he was in the other world but once he was back in the real world he had all his memories of being in the other world.

Overall I loved this drama but I feel like the ending was a little unclear.
