Weddings: one of the places where folks from your backgrounds can get together, meet one another, catch up with family, and....sing a song in tribute to the hit movie the couple were in as kids?

Okay, that last one might be just for Angelo Massagli and Caitlin Hale, who were in the movie School of Rock in 2003 together. They played school kids to Jack Black's oddball and inspirational teacher, and many of the cast were in attendance at the wedding.

Black was unable to make it to the nuptials due to a busy shooting schedule, but passed along private congratulations. He was "so nice and generous with his words and definitely commemorated it privately," Massagli said.

The couple was not romantic at the time of filming, but built upon that shared history during their early relationship.

Hale was pretty sure about it all early on.

“I knew very early. I actually said to one of my close friends, I remember being in an Uber on the way down to Miami one weekend and we were going out and I was like, 'I think I’m gonna marry this guy.'”

The castmates danced together to "Edge of Seventeen," which was featured in the movie during a scene with the film's adults.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
