Where is it?

Will they even do one?

Has anyone changed their initial viewpoint on the whole thing?

And lastly….Team Brooklyn or Team Beckham?

I tried a fast google and couldn’t find much oddly though linked to this insta post.

Well she looks pretty amazing for 70
plus!

Looking at Vogue and Hello looks like similar type of dress to VB (silver, long) but strapless and more fitted.

Looks like maybe Mob did dress changes like her daughter then.

Though her dress still doesn’t look like something you’d wear to bed at least 😅

Her body looks very youthful & I think she had a set of twins. NP says her father worships her mother & they are still very much in love.

According to Fat Tony on This Morning, wedding over three days and he DJed at each:

  • Day 1: welcome party
  • Day 2: wedding - Dancegate happened late in evening during MA set - bride stormed off and didn’t return.
  • Day 3: brunch - not many turned up due to drama previous day.

If BB wrote the statement he gave DB a hall pass.

It’s the failings of VB as a mother he lends heaviest weight to, the crimes of not getting behind dogs, helping on dress number 2 or 3, and causing WORST day of his life by dancing ON him.

I questioned this & a PP said this was because BB was closest to VB so hurt most by her, hence her disproportionate kicking. Understandable? No - I agree with you!

IF DB had affairs & was ‘inauthentic’ here & disturbed the equilibrium of family life BB didn’t call Goldenballs out.

Admittedly DB doesn't get the same pasting as Posh but he did come in for some flack over the whole thing with his birthday, refusing to see Brooklyn if Nicola was with him but still wanting him to attend his birthday party and pose for group photos for the gram.

In a very forgettable minor way, yes, true. Not the worst thing ever in his life.

Did the eve come to an artificial end after NP stormed off? I wonder if the wedding the first time the clans met?

From what I read basically the whole peltz side left.

Nicola has a face like a smacked arse
BB is completely under her thumb
Silly spoilt immature young adults

Why don’t people believe the most beautiful comment/dance thing was a set up? I genuinely don’t understand- it seems pretty obvious to me.

That guy is VB/DB’s best mate and at this point relations had soured so much that VB put a stop to making the dress that was intended for NP. They, according to BB had been absolute arses in the run up to the wedding and tried to stop him marrying her. They were trying to get him to sign away the rights to his name and he refused, which seems to be his reason for the cause of a lot of this (maybe they have other reasons not to like the girl - who knows?)

But I really don’t understand the comments about how it can’t possibly have been a set up that VB/DB were in on or had a part in.

Do we think VB is a saint or something?

No, but I find it really difficult to imagine someone actually planning to do something as awful as that

For sure.

I watched the trashy ‘Members Only: Palm Beach’ while crashed out at NY.

Obvs shows the extreme and produced for entertainment, like all the ‘Housewives of…’ franchises, Made in Chelsea etc.

But, what surprised me was how obsessed they were with etiquette. You don’t apparently get invited to the highest echelons of the Palm Beach season, like parties Mar a Lago etc (no idea why anyone would want to be) unless the Queen Bees approve of your etiquette. They were bitching and falling out over the most ridiculous perceived faux pas and ‘slights’, apparently because they’re bored out of their minds and have to make up drama to give their lives meaning.

Given the Peltz family live in Palm Beach, this is quite possibly the culture NP’s grown up in: storms in teacups and hissy fits over etiquette, running orders, perceived slights etc.

Edited

Thats very interesting, its also, sorry to say, quite a young thing I think, arbritary rules about who speaks to who, who invites who, match or not similar outfits for things, who gives something to who, who names what child what. You see it on threads here all the time, Im not necessarily talking about yoru example as thats a world I dont know but in general, I think that generation are quite immature about stuff like that, combined with what you're saying I think thats very likely

Someone I know is lovely but incredibly self obsessed (and not adverse to being centre of attention). Reading Fat Tony's account, which sounds pretty balanced it actually strikes me as something my friend would do.

In their case it wouldn't be deliberate to cause upset but they'd be thinking how much they'd enjoy the dance, the attention they would get and how much they want to dance with their son. And that'd be it. Nobody else's feelings would probably even occur to them.

Posh doesn't strike me as someone lacking in the self obsession stakes so it might be a similar story.

Still would rather watch Netflix or even read fiction than waste time on this…don’t know any of them, don’t care about any of them and at gunpoint, I don’t want to know about the situation let alone speculate the who, the why and what for 😆 same goes for any ‘celebrity’…

So why post anything here, watch Netflix.

Yeah theres a couple of documentaries on Netflix about a couple called the Beckhams. Quite interesting

I haven’t watch the Beckham documentaries. I’d be afraid that my viewing would earn them more money. Same with the Kardashian’s and Sussex crowd. 😆
I wouldn’t google Victoria’s song yesterday incase it boosted the value. I know petty.

Is anyone else incredulous that a bride with billionaire parents and a groom from a multi millions family, and the DJ they hired is called “Fat Tony” like it’s an evening do at the local social club! No wonder it ended in a scrap…😂

How rude…asking if ive got a life of my own and then going into loads of detail about the whole situation 😂

Yes, I do have a life of my own, I have a Dh, dc, dog, parents, friends, job, mortgage etc etc, but I can still be interested? I don’t think those two things are mutually exclusive..and neither do you, judging by how much you seem to know about the situation

Well said. She could have just ignored your thread, providing she has a life of own 😉
