Poor Wittle Tiffany Is Supposed To Get Married To Her Billionaire Fiance At Mar A Lago This Saturday

[SoCalDavidS]

Friday night is the Welcome Dinner, and guests were flying in Thursday.

Looks like Hurricane Nicole is going to ruin it all. So Sad.

[Blue Owl]

1. The bride at every wedding will still be there, open bathrobe and all

[Aristus]

35. Too bad he's not also the corpse at every funeral.

[ZonkerHarris]

2. thats why they are not evacuating. hahahahahahahahaha

[thomski64]

7. ..get daddy to send it.

..to Alabama, with his magic sharpie..

[Polybius]

3. Why do rich people almost always marry other rich people?

It's like they don't even hang out with the poor or middle class.

[SoCalDavidS]

4. Well, Meghan Markle Wasn't Rich nt

[Sympthsical]

37. She was an actress

It's not like they met at a Denny's.

[JI7]

6. I think it's usually when they are from rich families . But self made wealthy types

seem to marry people who aren't rich .

[DFW]

14. Maybe just the circles they grow up in. It's not always the same story, and not always a blessing

We know a woman who married a guy of very modest means when they were both young. He turned out to have a knack for predicting good investments. From nowhere, he made himself tens (or more? I never asked) of millions, settled in a very fancy huge apartment in San Francisco, but remained a normal down-to-earth nice guy until he got a rare cancer at an early age and died in his early fifties. His widow likes to roam around the world, but would like nothing more than to settle down again with a new man. The trouble is, she has a hard time with knowing whether or not a guy is out for for her money or for her--not an entirely unjustified concern, and so she ends up with no one. She has lots of casual friends, but no really intimate ones. My wife and I are no danger, as we have been together since we were 22, and when we met them didn't know (or care) how rich they were. They were just people we met, and used to hang out with when we were in the same place. So she hangs with us every now and then. We are seldom in San Francisco, and she is seldom in Germany, so we are usually passing ships.

Our younger daughter is in a stable relationship, and is with a man who makes even more than she does, so there is no danger there, but if she were to find herself on her own again suddenly, she'd be in a similar situation. The only way to be absolutely sure to know that someone is NOT after you for your money is to find a partner who has just as much as you do, and if you have a lot, that restricts your choices. I'm glad it's something I will never have to contend with. I'll never know what a pre-nuptial agreement looks like, and I wouldn't want to ever need one.

For that matter, for a board for Democrats only, there seems to be a lot of obsession about rich people. Yeah, they're out there, but I won't be marrying one, so I don't care who their partners are.

[MyNameIsKhan]

15. Well said and true thank you

[treestar]

27. Yes, I recall someone I knew who had a lot of money

and used it to date younger women, then finally decided that the best way to find someone who was not looking for his money was to find a woman who had as much as he had.

[DFW]

28. Did he find what he was looking for?

I would be depressed just having to use that as a requirement. My wife's family had enough to get by, but that was about it. When her parents met, no one had anything, so that was easy.

My family was a little better off than hers by the time we met, not having lost half the generation, half their land and just about all their possessions in the war. Their post-war lives were a little easier than many Germans, since my wife's father's family were farmers, and could grow enough to eat. He couldn't do farm work any more, having lost a leg at Stalingrad at age 18, but he found a job at a local bank that financed farmers in the area. By the time my wife and I met, they were back on their feet again financially--self sufficient, at least.

But I think of our friend in San Francisco, and wonder just how frustrating it must be with that kind of mental restriction inhibiting your freedom to get involved with just anyone. That would weigh me down more than the heaviest iron chain. Even if you have a ten foot high, three feet wide and six feet long stack of hundred dollar bills on the bed next to you, it still isn't going to kiss you good night.

[treestar]

32. He did, for a while

but that individual could not keep a relationship going for life, at least as of that time! And how many women are there with enough money and enough looks! This person tended to think women 10 years his junior were too old for him.

It would have been tough in post war Germany - other countries too - was this the former West Germany? I would guess things were back to normal by the 70s?

[DFW]

36. It was indeed West Germany, but just barely

A few KM farther west, and it would have been Netherlands. It’s all flat farm country, and you can’t easily tell where political borders separate the countries. My father-in-law didn’t speak German as his first language, but rather “Pladdütsch,” a so-called “low German (for the lowlands where it is spoken).” On the rare occasions when TV programs have it spoken, subtitles are provided for the 95% of Germans who can’t understand it. I can follow some of it, because I had him teach me some while he was alive, and after learning to speak Dutch, more similarities became apparent. Like in NL or northern Belgium, or the “German” speaking areas of Switzerland, the local dialects can vary dramatically, even between villages less than 50 KM apart. Some of this is due to separation caused by borders of political and religious alliances that were important 400 years ago, but haven’t existed for centuries.

By the 70s things had improved dramatically, but nowhere near what we considered “normal” in most of North America. Even the buildings in most city centers still had bullet holes in them, and if you wanted to take a hot shower, you had to put a 50 Pfennig coin in a timer and be outta there before your time ran out. If you wanted a telephone line installed, you had to request it six to eight weeks in advance (in East Germany five to eight YEARS in advance). Their normality never resembled ours until thirty years later.

25. And whom do the poor people hang out with?

People tend to stratify by economic, ethnic, religious and social categories. Always have.

[Deep State Witch]

29. It's a throwback to Feudalism

They all think of themselves as landed gentry without the titles. Or feudal lords, like in Game of Thrones. It keeps the wealth within families. The "common folk" are servants and side pieces.

[Johonny]

31. This

I

[rpannier]

5. She can get that crazed prophet woman with the pink hair

and her weather warriors to order the storm to stay out of Florida. It worked with the hurricane

[KS Toronado]

12. Or tfg with his stolen nuclear codes could just NUKE it.

[niyad]

8. Is Marla invited?

[SoCalDavidS]

9. Marla Is There And Has Been Posting Optimistic Thoughts On Instagram

She had a post with the song "Here Comes The Sun" playing while showing the hurricane approaching.

[niyad]

24. Thank you.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. Other Worldly Message to Billionaire Fiance: RUN!

.

RUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[SoCalDavidS]

11. He Comes From A Hardcore repub Family

He's a MAGA Moron.

I'm not sure why people think that people like Melania should be warned and/or pitied. They are fully aware of their choices, and in fact, are perfectly comfortable with them.

[Princess Turandot]

13. The storm has already made landfall near Vero Beach, north of Palm Beach..

It's moving very quickly: it's forecasted to arrive in Georgia by this evening. They've already cancelled the storm surge warning in the Palm Beach area. So, it probably won't impact their plans.

[SheilaAnn]

16. The hurricane has turned out to be a strong April Shower. Her wedding will be fine. n/t

[chriscan64]

19. It will be fine in terms of the weather.

The reception will feature the father of the bride's stump speech (45 minutes to an hour) about the stolen election and the Russia hoax.

[RockCreek]

17. Daddy took out his Sharpie....

Daddy took out his Sharpie....and all was well.

[Emile]

21. LOL good one!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. This is indeed sad

Link to tweet

[AngryOldDem]

20. I thought she was Trump's ignored child.

So glad to see a happy family.

[JHB]

22. It's passing north of MAL. Condiment-covered walls are a more likely hazard.

[C_U_L8R]

23. The father will make it all about himself anyway.

Does he even know her name? Should have eloped.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. I predict he will announce his 2024 run at the reception

Because always, ALWAYS, he has to be the center of attention.

[kskiska]

26. Earlier, I read that she was planning a huge, lavish wedding

maybe in Greece or someplace really posh. I couldn't figure out how she settled on Mar-a-Lardo instead. Oh, well…

I do wonder why she never bothered to even take her bar exam, though. I guess she figured she'd never need to actually work.

[sarisataka]

30. I wish them well

And that someday they will be able to laugh about the pre-wedding hurricane.

[phylny]

33. I don't like dumping on Tiffany.

She can't help who her father is, and she appears fairly benign.

[Bonx]

34. I don't like baby talk
