A Bridezilla Costume for Your Disaster WeddingHave you ever had a friend turn into a total Bridezilla when planning her wedding? Yes, it’s a very special day, so it should be about her (and possibly her spouse—at least a little bit), but there’s no justification for her to insist that her bridesmaids buy thousand-dollar gowns or destroy Tokyo.Brooke Regalado made this costume for Halloween this year. Just keep her happy and maybe the reception will be over soon. But expect to shell out a lot of money for a destination wedding in Japan. She has too to compete with Mothra’s wedding.#cosplay #cosplaymashups #bridalgowns #weddings #Godzilla

Ruth Cohen and Shery Rosenstein are Best Friends Who Had Babies One Month Apart That Many, Many Years Later Grew Up And Got MarriedBest friends Ruth Cohen and Shery Rosentein didn’t expect to see their babies marry each other in the future. When they had babies a month apart, the two never imagined that they would see them fall in love with each other, just like a fairy tale or a fictional story. Against all odds, their offspring, Maddie and Adam tied the knot in Colorado on October 24.Maddie and Adam initially met when they were four months old, and spent time with each other just a handful of times in their childhood. Adam happily recalled that he felt a connection with Maddie when they were 8 years old. "We had a day where we went mini golfing and had lunch together," Adam told People Magazine. "That was the first moment that we remember just being able to talk with one another; it was really surprising just how natural our conversations flowed at that age."After a whirlwind of relationships, breakups, and realizations, the two decided to marry each other after four years being together. Surprisingly their mothers, Ruth and Shery actually stayed out of their romance. According to Ruth, they weren’t pushy about the relationship. "If anything, when they started dating, I said to Maddie, 'You dated a number of guys. This is not like the other guys. If you're going to go date Adam, it is special and families are involved,' " she added. Image credits: Sara Knobel Photo, Cohen & Rosenstein Families#Weddings #Couples #Relationships

Japanese Parents are Sending Their Loved Ones Rice in Celebration of Their Newborn Children The pandemic has halted face-to-face interactions for most, if not all of us. People may only see each other virtually and celebrations must be done remotely. This has been hard for a lot of people, especially in cultures that value special occasions and hold festive celebrations—such as the Japanese when it comes to childbirth and newborn babies.In lieu of warm hugs and in-person celebrations, Japanese parents have started sending bags of rice to their relatives who are unable to visit due to the pandemic. The bags weigh the same as the newborn’s weight and they come in a variety of styles. Some are designed like a newborn wrapped in a blanket with the baby’s face attached to the front. This allows the relatives to feel as though they are holding and hugging the baby themselves.According to the owner of Kome no Zoto Yoshimiya rice shop, Naruo Ono, “I first had the idea about 14 years ago when my own son was born and I was thinking about what I could do for relatives who lived far away and couldn’t come and see him. So we decided to make bags of rice that were the same weight and shape as the baby, so relatives could hold them and feel the cuteness.”
