Groom accused of ‘copying’ wedding speech from popular Pinterest post

<p dir="ltr">Footage from an influencer couple’s wedding has gone viral for the wrong reasons.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jadé Tuncdoruk, 27, and Lachie Brycki, 29 tied the knot at Krinklewood Vineyard in the Hunter Valley last October.</p> <p dir="ltr">Tuncdoruk posted a TikTok of unseen footage from her husband’s wedding speech, which now has over 10 million views and a lot of comments accusing Brycki of ‘copying’ part of his speech.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Still can't believe I get to call this man my husband," Tuncdoruk captioned the TikTok.</p> <p dir="ltr">The clip showed Brycki telling his wife: "When I say I love you more, I don't mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us. I love you more than any fight we will ever have."</p> <p dir="ltr">“I love you more than the distance between us; I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us,” Brycki added through tears.</p> <div><iframe title="tiktok embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2Fembed%2Fv2%2F7209976950939503873&display_name=tiktok&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40jadetunchy%2Fvideo%2F7209976950939503873&image=https%3A%2F%2Fp16-sign-sg.tiktokcdn.com%2Fobj%2Ftos-alisg-p-0037%2FoEYIEikiDeAq7DBgQRVnQqX2vmeStHkdiBFbB9%3Fx-expires%3D1679025600%26x-signature%3Dvbyp8NNEtpQaqo3t0%252FBlReUIVjM%253D&key=5b465a7e134d4f09b4e6901220de11f0&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=tiktok" width="340" height="700" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Some of Tuncdoruk’s followers were quick to point out that Brycki had used parts of a popular poem written by Erin Nicole, which has been posted all over Pinterest.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Why do I feel like I've heard this before?" commented one user.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I know people are saying let it go, but as a wedding vow, it needs to be personal. Copying the entire speech from a poem would make me feel loved less,” commented another user.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Pretty sure I heard that ‘I love you more bit’ on Pinterest. Thought that counts though," wrote a third.</p> <p dir="ltr">However, many others have shared their support for the couple and defended Brycki’s actions, acknowledging how hard it is to write a wedding speech.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Maybe writing original words wasn't his forte but he found words that expressed what he felt? And it's clearly genuine, look at him tearing up,” commented one user.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I think just because they aren't his words doesn't take away from the meaning of what he said. He clearly resonated with the poem and meant every word he said - his words or not,” wrote another.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He explained his love in words so so well. Just beautiful,” wrote a third.</p> <p><em>Images: TikTok</em></p>

Funny DIY beauty fails to brighten your day

<p>The Internet: so full of information, how-tos and recipes that it’s a wonder how we got along without it. But for these hilarious beauty fails, it might just be time to close the Pinterest accounts, turn off the computers and go to bed.</p> <p><strong>1. Marble nails:</strong></p> <p>This nail art look might have looked good on paper, but it does not look good on the actual…skin….of your fingers. Nail polish remover, anyone?</p> <p><img width="455" height="296" src="http://pinterestfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Pinterest-Fail-Nail-Art-storyboard-600x390.jpg" alt="Pinterest Fail Nail Art storyboard" class=" size-large wp-image-113341 aligncenter"/></p> <p><strong>2. “Straight” hair</strong></p> <p>This recipe explained that if you spray your hair with brown sugar mixed with water it would be straight by the time it dries. Given the ingredients, we can’t help but wonder if this one was a cruel practical joke.</p> <p><img width="455" height="546" src="http://pinterestfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Pinterest-Fail-Straighten-Hair-With-No-Heat-storyboard-600x720.jpg" alt="Pinterest Fail Straighten Hair With No Heat storyboard" class=" size-large wp-image-113345 aligncenter"/></p> <p><strong>3. Paper towel curls</strong></p> <p>This DIY method promised that with just a bit of paper towel, you can wake up with gorgeous, meticulous curls. Obviously, it lied.</p> <p>Original: </p> <p><img width="400" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cnarqR5W2cM/UFC5dOZNjAI/AAAAAAAAByk/EtZr8cA3w68/s400/kljbnm.jpg" border="0"/></p> <p>Reality: </p> <p><img width="400" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IEyVZkbLZNU/UFC6t7hOyPI/AAAAAAAABy0/aLF45MySm6w/s400/Jessica+Hair+Pinstrosity+2.jpg" border="0"/></p> <p><strong>4. Pop art makeup:</strong></p> <p>We’re not sure if this makeup look required more skill or more effort than the user had applied, but this DIY look did not work well in their favour.</p> <p><img width="406" height="308" src="http://pinterestfail.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/pinterestfail029-640x485.jpg" alt="storyboard" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-101118"/></p> <p><strong>5. Contouring:</strong><br /> <br /> Makeup contouring: maybe just leave it to your makeup artist.</p> <p>Original: </p> <p><img width="400" height="273" src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/0/9/8/297098_v1.jpg" style="display: inline;"/></p> <p>Reality: <br /> <img width="358" height="477" src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/1/0/0/297100_v1.jpg" style="display: inline;"/><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>6. Pop art nails:</strong></p> <p>Clearly pop art and nail art aren’t for beauty amateurs. This poor, brave soul tried to combine the two.</p> <p><img width="430" height="453" src="http://nowaygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/550x579xmore-nailed-it-fails-01.jpg.pagespeed.ic.dVhi0q_9xN.webp" alt="1" class="size-full wp-image-44284"/></p> <p><strong>7. Koolaid lip tint:</strong></p> <p>This one sounds pretty hard to mess up: lip tint made from Kool-Aid …until you remember how sticky and bright Kool-Aid is and you wonder why anyone would willingly put it on their face.</p> <p><img width="450" height="261" src="http://pintester.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lipstain.jpg" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1174"/></p> <p><strong>8. Heart hair:</strong></p> <p>The end result of this hairstyle would have anyone feeling heartless.</p> <p><img width="394" height="391" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7829/pinterest-fail_394x391.jpg" alt="Pinterest Fail"/></p> <p><em>Image sources: Pinterest/ Pintrosity/ Pinterstfail </em></p>
