Weddings are stressful enough before even factoring in the feelings of everyone else involved.

The months of planning and getting everything absolutely perfect down to the last detail is overwhelming in and of itself (don't get us wrong, totally worth the trouble).


But every wedding also has its drama, though usually it can be bandaided with a quick chat or a couple of rounds of bubbly.

There are, however, conflicts that just won't blow over...like if someone you love dearly doesn't approved of the union in the first place.

TikTokers Cyn and Tessa (@cynandtessa) experienced exactly this when Tessa's father refused to attend their same-sex wedding.

In a now-viral video posted by the couple, the TikTok explains in its text overlay:

"My father-in-law is very religious, and he did not attend our wedding."

The video shows wedding day footage of the brides walking hand in hand.

It continued:

"My wife was devastated, but she tried not to show it."

But when it came time for the traditional father-daughter dance, Tessa can be seen dancing with a man, obviously not her father.

The TikTokers then revealed:

"In lieu of the father-daughter dance, her brothers stepped in for sibling dance."
"This is her older brother Guillermo."

As the video shows another man dancing with the bride, the text read:

"Here comes little bro and my wife's best friend, Diego...it was beautiful and meant a lot to us."

The last clip shows a photo of the bride with her two brothers.

"When my father-in-law decided not to attend our wedding, our siblings stepped up."

It's such a shame that Tessa's father couldn't be there to support her on the happiest day of her life, but we're so happy she has a beautiful support system in her brothers and new wife.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Mormon Church Accidentally Spotlights Gay Mormon Fashion Designer—And People Can't Get Enough

A Mormon church tried to stay hip and garner new followers by promoting a fashion line, only to prove to all of us that we're really not as different as the prejudiced people among us would like us to believe.

Let's unpack this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an Instagram account over at @churchofjesuschrist. They regularly promote members of their community, demonstrating what they do, how they give back to their community, and how their religious testimony ties into their mission.
