People are wild but I can’t imagine any wedding coordinator would be inexperienced enough to mark themselves as bride and say there’s no wedding coordinator?? And then mark the bridal gift for themselves??? She lost me there tbh, the rest theoretically adds up but it’s too many perfect coincidences imo. Loved the video🩷🩷

[@alicetoyou448]

It’s the picture for me 😂 I can believe she’s just maybe a little airheaded and thought she should put her name down since she was the person handing over the money, picking up the cake, working with the coordinator, etc., especially if it just said, like, “name” and not “client name” or whatever. But, I think she thought she could keep the free gift for her and her partner because the bride wouldn’t know anyway (and of course got found out, because that’s ridiculous). Just my theory.

[@AngelikaOles]

exactly!! 💀 and thank you 🥰🩷🩷

[@katebreck7624]

Oh well even if it is a fake story, she didnt throw anyone under the bus, didnt defame anyone so its just a good story for good marketing

[@christalcavanaugh]

“No one told you that you were expected to do xyz so you didn’t do xyz. Therefore you owe me money” thats not how ANYTHING works lmao

[@alexaburks]

knowing pathalogical liars and how shitty some people's families can be, especially around wedding time (especially mother of the grooms), I 10000% believe this did happen

[@skyefirenails]

I've worked weddings as a makeup artist. None of this is surprising, unfortunately. But Miranda should have known better, even if it was her first job.

[@zuglymonster]

Shouldn't have commented so soon. The GROOMS MOM was the scammer!! I feel so horrible for the bride, having her MIL ruin her wedding and having to deal with that woman for the rest of her life (well the MILs life)

[@AngelofDarkness2899]

the way my jaw DROPPED. like what do you mean the bride's mom is dead????

[@lindseywagner7510]

Y'all both are wrong smh. She acted like the bride when she called but it was still the wedding coordinator and bet she is acting to the family like the cake venue did the ripping off to the actual brides mom. So wedding coordinator is playing both sides! Its obvious she did that pic of her and her boyfriend by mistake? Come on!

[@cherryb4296]

At first I thought the bride and mum were trying to pull a scam and that there was no coordinator but when she mentioned reading it to wedding brands to collab at the end I'm starting to question the whole story, why mention that?

[@rs-mt6kl]

Why wouldn't she? It's part of the story lmao. She's trying to grow her business, why wouldn't she try and get attention off of a crazy customer story? I literally work in a similar customer service field as in customers try and get free service by pretending they didn't get their delivery or they ordered a different size etc etc. It happens literally all the time.

[@fussbrain9161]

San Antonio prominent lawyers?? Unless it’s Thomas J Henry there really aren’t legacy lawyers or prominent families of lawyers.

[@de5072]

The texas hammers and that 4 guy are rhe other major ones I can think of. George salinas too.

[@caitlinjones8716]

oml never thought id see thomas j henry in the comment section haha

[@futurechasing]

You have to finish the story lol, she lied about being a lawyer

[@sophiechen4874]

This is actually crazy omg!! This story had so many twists and turns 😭

[@CarmCoffey_11]

What a shit show. Sounds like Miranda was someone that the Bride knew, and the inexperience was because she was being given a chance. The mother of the groom sounds like a shit show. What a bunch of drama!

[@alpacalypse4552]

honestly, the story is wild enough to make me think it’s true. true scammers know how to spot a target and the mil would have succeeded with a less experienced and prepared baker. i also suspect that she very well may have tried this with the other vendors as well if she could isolate them. I think the bride is probably not having a very relaxing honeymoon.

[@linaalsalman4993]

The way I gasped when they said that that woman wasn't the mother of the bride. Like why are there so many twist to this story. Who's lying? Who's not? Who's scamming? Who's not? The coordinator still feels sus honestly even after finding out about the husband's mother.

[@louisawithana4307]

I could almost believe it if it wasn't for the "inexperienced" excuse like that to me is the most unbelievable part. I could see a coordinator trying to over charge and I could see a pathological liar trying to get more money

[@sharkazoo]

i love that i'm in france and you upload late, a new video always pops up before bed when i'm bored it's the best 😭

Same😂😂

[@antoinettemaraisgauthier]

same i’m in poland hahaha

[@taryndancer29]

Same here in Germany 😅

[@Vampress09]

When stories are entertaining enough and they're not directly harming someone idc if they're fake. I'm glad none of the innocent women lost money or reputation.

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Right. If it is fake, chick has a great imagination. This isn’t like the chick who named a specific location and claimed they threw her down stairs.

[@omgmo1962]

If this becomes like a new format of fictional storytelling where we're entertained and theres no real people getting hurt, its an interesting evolution and kind of fun. There were some agencies or companies or something a few years ago on tiktok having actors fabricate stories/drama like this and people got SO mad. The tiktok culture of needing to stalk and track down people makes this sort of thing a little harder but honestly im here for it 😂 its like a soap opera

[@fleetwoodmacncheese4159]

If someone is willing to make up stuff for views they're lying in other aspects of life. Period. Liars are liars, idc if it's for "entertainment" or not. I instantly lose all respect for liars that rage bate. If I want acting I'll watch TV. 🥝💚🖤

[@softblankets]

wow what a perfect storm of events for that poor cake lady 😂😂 i’m not sure if i 100% believe the story but it i would hope she wouldn’t actually post any receipts to keep the brides privacy etc

[@lydiaa2612]

After the first few clips I expected that the big twist would be that someone proved that the baker was telling a made up story. The ending makes me even more suspicious 😂

[@joelleg8415]

I also feel like it's a fake storytime

[@arnarth2609]

There is def something fishy, in the end there is no company to blame and it wraps up nicely with a solid end. Without some proof i am calling it some kind of veiw grap

[@rs-mt6kl]

​@@arnarth2609because neither of the companies were at fault? Lmao sometimes it's the customer and their end that has the problem. I literally shop online orders and hand off deliveries, do you know how many times there has been a mistake due to the customer being dumb or an a-hole? They almost always try to blame the business and get a free order. It's not unusual at all, maybe you just haven't met many people.

[@runa_7022]

as someone who has personally experienced the chaos of in laws, id say the story sounds extremely believable lmao

[@joelleg8415]

@@arnarth2609 that's why it feels very ???

[@rs-mt6kl]

@@arnarth2609 all that tells me is you haven't worked in customer service or retail😂 like people will do the weirdest things to get a free item or pay less. And there usually isn't a company or business to blame, how is that the thing that makes you doubt it? That's so dumb lmao it literally wasn't the businesses fault, why would they be to blame?😂

[@HarmlessHagoftheWoods]

As someone who has made cakes for weddings (and cakes in general) I can totally believe that someone would come up with an elaborate rouse to try and swindle some of that money. People have made up all sorts of reasons as to why they should be given 'refunds'.

[@Blck_Ch3rry]

Scam you say, i am intrigued. Edit: holy talido this is crazy

[@justingraves8649]

Plot twist: The mom is the scammer.

[@maddieharris8364]

Getting into bed and watching your vids: calming my anxiety 🤍

[@HobieInTheBox]

Honestly this sounds completely real to me considering how insane people become as soon as a wedding is happening, and also how inhumane MILs act, especially around weddings

[@louise8219]

I can believe that people could be so awful but again the story doesn’t add up: 1. Wedding coordinators wouldn’t be so silly to add their own details as bride and groom in case of anything personalised. 2. Why would the grooms mother be going around checking everything - wedding days are busy enough. Usually if the vendors are not dealing with a wedding coordinator then there’s a coordinator at the hotel that would show the vendor where to set up etc. 3. Hotels would not give out CCTV so even if the grooms mother was lying about that surely it’s a massive red flag that she even said that. I definitely think that this is a fabricated story similar to many AITA posts.

[@sisboombah9595]

I really was hoping we would have an update where the bride confronts the mil. Now I'm not sure if this even happened. I will say that in the video she says San Antonio is a small place. 100% wrong. SA is a major city of 1.4 million people. Maybe she was just substituting the name of the city for anonymity and it was a smaller city in the SA area(?) But yeah, that threw me off.

[@plvrkitty]

I mean the bride confronting the MIL would be more of personal business that doesn’t involve people outside of the family.

[@jrdnbly93]

7k for desserts! 😵‍💫

[@MirjamRoesli]

How inexperienced do you have to be to put in your name for contracts with wedding vendors. If something happens and the wedding gets cancelled, you as the planner are then responsible for all those contracts. If the bride and groom don’t want to pay you, have fun with all the cancellation fees. If this story is true (I doubt it, the thing with the photo uploaded and the gift for the bride, snatched by the planner is just a bit too weird imo) this planner has to do some homework and learn a lot very quickly. To have those contracts in my name not the wedding couples ones would make me so nervous and anxious I would loose my sleep over it. I don’t know, maybe the US has different practices for those kind of things, but that thought just gives me the shakes 😵‍💫

[@EKYoung-hr2vo]

No, you're right! It's insane for an independent contractor like a wedding coordinator to take on all the contractual liability of a wedding. Absolutely bananas.

[@Petronella1]

That hair color is amazing on you!

[@b.k8051]

by the end, it felt like a scam. an elaborate story to go viral.

[@WhoCaresAlisha]

My dad used to own his own business and some clients used to pull some scammy things. It isn't too far fetched. The "inexperienced" wedding planner being blamed was almost too perfect though. Sending your own pics to a catering service instead of the bride and groom is wild, even to the average person.

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Yeah, that part has me like, WTF? Even an inexperienced person would know the gift isn’t for YOU but for the bride. Lmfao.

[@b.k8051]

It always starts with a damn cake lol

[@jessicagurchiek]

My original wedding planner was going behind my back and charging me extra! Had to fire her four months before the wedding it was a disaster!! So sorry that this bride experienced this ESPECIALLY from her new MIL!

[@im19ice3]

this story got WAY crazier than i expected it to, truly didnt think it would go beyond that other cake drama where the cake was ugly

[@courtneylantz5491]

There are real psycho liars out there like that MIL. Like...I wouldn't be surprised if this was real. I also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. But to me, this is 100% believable. Like, I know it sounds so far fetched and impossible and crazy. But I know and know of people like that MIL, and I didn't doubt for a second the validity of this story. I think we all want to think it's not real, because who would be that psychotic? They exist though. People like that...they do.

[@ethanjay5554]

Not me spending the entire video looking at all the books and Nintendo ds games instead of paying attention (Is that professor Layton I see?) oh well, guess I’ll just have to watch the whole video again.

[@kiml5488]

Wow what a wild turn of events! I feel bad for the new couple, that is sad to have happen with your wedding.

[@brittnayyyd444]

I love the way you say ‘cake’ 😂❤❤

[@Bffrrnmimi]

Babe wake up Angelika posted🎉

[@Breannamay98]

Sounded like a scam but idk could be true I think the cake lady needs to provide evidence ❤

[@rs-mt6kl]

Mmmmmmm I'm having a feeling a family member was involved with this. I don't think the baker is lying tbh and I'm SO glad she didn't fold to the threats of the family and pay them more for somethin that wasnt her fault. Edit 15:29 FCKN CALLED IT OK, IT'S LITERALLY ALWAYS THE MOTHER IN LAW. Mother in laws like this are absolutely trash relatives, what a POS

[@ENigma-yb4si]

She wouldn't be able to provide receipts if she wants to keep her business going.

[@xoxolovechristielynn]

As unbelievable as this may sound, it’s actually very plausible. Scams are so prevalent within event planning, and freelance services like catering, photography and makeup artistry etc. It even happens often in the salon industry. I have a nightmare story from when I was doing makeup and I was scammed into doing an entire bridal party’s makeup when it was supposed to only be the bride… and it was my own sister in law’s wedding. I ended up having to attend without makeup on myself and just put my hair in a messy bun because I was left with zero time to get myself ready. I also wasn’t compensated at all. I agreed to do my sister in law’s makeup for free as a wedding gift and it turned into her, plus 5 bridesmaids. She acted like it was what we had agreed to and did so in front of everyone including my mother in law. She knew I’d give in rather than cause a scene and ”ruin her wedding”… People will do some wild and desperate things when it comes to money.

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Oh. My. God. I am dying over the groom’s mom! That’s INSANE!

[@Luv2LuvEm]

You don’t just wake up one day like, “I think I’ll be a wedding planner” and get a job worth tens of thousands of dollars. That’s not how that works. You work with a _reputable_ (or at least more established) company first. Then if you decide to start your own business you know the ins and outs. No wedding coordinator would come to the tasting and pretend to be a bride and go as far as upload a photo of themselves and their partners as the _wedding gift_ for the real bride and groom just because they “didn’t want to ask questions.” Even if they _were_ new. Yeah that story is fake af.

[@fireyonix]

I thought the grooms family were in cahoots but I did not think they were actually "miranda"

[@Alissa.Noel.]

Liked, subscribed, commented for engagement. In all one word as Angelika says it. Lol.

[@emilydavis9915]

this is one of the craziest stories i’ve heard in a while haha

[@PureEnergyEntertainment]

I know for sure once you share a "contract" or communications regarding that "contract" with anyone NOT in that agreement You open yourself up for a lawsuit. Since the lady mom mentioned being an attorney it seems to be why the cake lady denied providing any reciepts of those communications. Smart move 🤷‍♀️ crazy that happened here in San Antonio

[@earcher]

I think... some stories are just TOO wild to be made up. But idk 🤷‍♀️

[@itsLia13]

I’m from San Antonio, and this is exactly the vibe of the people there.

[@kaitlyni.3546]

I do believe that this happened, especially since the bride herself reached out. I feel like this is common with the grooms mom.

[@sophieraut9723]

Hi Angelika The notifications are working alright❤

[@dweebicusmaximus]

Hm. I think, with her reaching out to other wedding people at the end there and adding it into her Tiktok that she did, no way this isn't fake LOL. she didn't give a reason they should work together or how it related to this, just a vague 'wouldn't it be cool', which tells me she knew she couldn't say 'because my Tiktok has gotten a bunch of views recently"

[@Aimee-Gates]

If she provides pics of the deserts, then the guests of the wedding would know. So she really cannot do that and stay in business

[@maa.6007]

We live in a world where someone creates content explaining another content of someone who is explaining an incident... Now I'm eager to see a REACTION video on your video. Thats just... ANUS

[@ladymsoaps]

I wish I had someone like you cover a huge ordeal we’ve been dealing with for the last year and a half 😭 our business got scammed and the woman made out with thousands of dollars in product and even after getting a judgement against her she’s refusing to pay and is running from us every which way she can. We have been trying so hard to even get an address to serve her for criminal charges 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jaliyahabroad]

Omgggg, plot twisttt😭😭😭 I would’ve never guessed it was the mommmm😭😭

[@zuglymonster]

I completely believe this because I've dealt with women like that MIL. Entitled, liars who use any possible way to get what they feel they "deserve" or to feel superior to others. The whole "were important lawyers in the area" thing especially with it being false absolutely screams "I'm trying to intimidate you and make you feel I'm more important than just some cake maker" thinking shed feel scared by a "wealthy family with connections" like she implied. I've absolutely met women like this, both who really are semi well off (although no where near as well off as they pretend. They're upper middle class who play like they're upper class and who are barely middle class but will lie and say her husband is a big shot somewhere, she just works part time "for something to do" unfortunately one (the upper middle class one) is my ex MIL and although I don't think shed scam I absolutely think she'd look for every excuse for extras. The other one absolutely would scam and not feel a bit of shame. That's the sad thing about the world now people ate out here doing so much awful stuff that its impossible nearly to know if II it's A real story because someone out there would absolutely do this, no question. I mean look at the story about the bride who just took over a coffee shop for a wedding. Without proof people would say "that can't be true"

[@justingraves8649]

Cakegate 2.0🎂

[@m_n_m7]

yeah, she totally made this story up lmao

[@localtownwitch]

My own life and the lives of my close friends are and have always been full of soap opera level drama and random crazy strangers, so I honestly forget that people lie about these things lol. That said to me it wasn't convoluted at all, but I'm accustomed to meeting people who are the level of insane the MIL is in this story so maybe I'm biased. My partner on the other hand has had a relatively ""normal"" life so he usually assumes stories like this are fake and he has to remind me that my experiences are not universal lmao.

[@AAAforshort]

Honestly the story might sound bonkers but having heard so much reddit story's of rl people dealing with crazy MIL's the cynic in me is like *yeah that checks out*

[@starrmendez9177]

Weddings are crazy mil’s are crazy so I believe it

[@xItspaolax]

This story sounds similar to one I’ve heard on Reddit before 🤔 not exact details but similar storyline

[@myopinionnotyours.6053]

"The more questions you ask?.. the more you know, the more you know; the more you grow." Point being, just ask questions if you truly do not know something.

[@intothemystic5223]

3:00 watching her paint that cup is so satisfying for some reason Edit: I guess it's not a cup lol

[@haveagoodday5446]

I always get distracted by your eye makeup 🥹🩷 so beautiful!

[@coconoisette_]

tbh i dont think it happened but it was fun to listen to idk

[@lisagiannoumis3816]

I mean these people are dumb for not contracting directly with their vendors. My wedding coordinator helped us negotiate but we directly paid our own vendors.

[@jydakota95]

It’s not that the other vendors were friends of the bride and groom it’s just that this was the only vendor the MIL knew for certain hadn’t met the couple. She states that she handed the bridal gift to the mother and it had a picture of Miranda in it, had she met the couple she would’ve known that wasn’t the bride.

[@katlash8852]

The craziest part was saying that San Antonio is a small city lol

[@EvieR7286]

this was the most insane plot twist

[@californiadoll6273]

Don't believe anyones storytime that doesn't show evidence, unedited & unblurred!

[@Sassyglbeauty]

14:13 Ok, I’m sorry but anyone with a brain would KNOW to NOT fill out a “gift for bride” section with your personal picture if ur the wedding coordinator. So, idk that I believe Miranda. Edited: I hope Miranda has learned a huge lesson in all of this insanity.

[@Breannamay98]

I love your videos ❤

[@LLOROMANNICLOVR]

idk if i missed something but under the circumstance this was real im still so confused by the bridal gift. even if u marked urself as the bride, what possesses u to submit a photo of you and your partner lmao

[@CreativeC13]

I love Angelika's dark brown hair it looks so good on her 😍

[@FlowerChild65]

If true, I could see it. It sounds fake, but if you have family members with certain personality disorders I could absolutely see this happening.

[@taylordawn4202]

A good faith refund?!?!?! Girllll better go bother Miranda with all that!! If that's even her real name 🙃 Also being inexperienced is NOT an excuse *these lies tho*

[@myliza700]

“ she’s not a lawyer not an attorney..” She IS cookoo for coconuts though

[@katelyn6039]

I don’t think she owes anyone proof. There’s no reason to drag Miranda or the bride’s name into this.

[@tortillachips]

This is the first TikTok scandal I’ve actually seen on TikTok!

[@hannahschriever7976]

Totally not related, but your hair looks stunning

[@OneInAMillion31]

The part that throws it all down the drain for me is somehow the mil had the invoice, and it was the same one mirianda had 😅 like why wouldn't you be like "see it says right there I was paid 2,500 take the rest up with Miranda.... also if you have the invoice that says the correct amount why would you pay an extra 5000? Sounds like a you problem

[@lauram72080]

I was almost believing the story until the end when she said she reached out to partner up with people. That sounded like I'm big on tictok now you should do with me. Idk again seemed it could be real until the end.

[@railynne6697]

I could 100% believe this though. I know people that will literally lie exactly like this

[@avasisx7075]

Omg in law this is a classic case typical of privity of contact case. Fantastic as an example. Awful for the family though

[@chrystal561]

The fact that the mom felt the need to state that they are prominent lawyers is a major red flag and then to ask the vendor for money back after having already been given information proving the vendor wasn’t at fault is another one. I was waiting for you to state that the mom was scamming her but I didn’t expect the mom to be pretending to be the bride’s deceased mother 😭

[@Sassyglbeauty]

If it didn’t happen - I mean, chick should write books. lol. Because, it was a very engaging story.

[@lizek3515]

I just understand why the couple let the grooms mom do anything. She sounds like a massive headache like the kind you get from walking into a staircase💀

[@elisa-beary]

I’m only to the point of finding out the grooms mom is a scam artist & my gut thought is… this tiktoker has taken the lie too far. I could be wrong idk.

[@lifeisstrange1997]

[@myopinionnotyours.6053]

I don't know about the cake lady🤔 she wanted a sponsor.. hmmm.. FAKE STORY IMO

[@oliviaoverboard]

My family owns a bakery and trust me people get insane about wedding orders

[@catkeith7777]

as someone about to start planning my wedding, I pray none of this bs gets near me😭

[@jillgarmon7160]

I think I would have bought all of it until the very end when she plugged in she has reached out to companies to partner up but hasn’t heard back from any. I’m not sure why she thought anyone would want to team up because of this very odd story. And the wedding coordinator ok I understand if she was not well versed on contracts but to send a picture of herself and her fiancé that’s a bit much. So idk can’t say either way 100% but I don’t think it’s all true.

[@TheCatsofVanRaptor]

Gee wiz, I invite 1100 people to one.. oh wait. Nvm. Not about me. Hiiiii
