Type B Bride's Unconventional Dress Choice Stuns: 'Super Different'

A relaxed bride has stunned internet viewers with her unconventional wedding dress choice.
Devon Coleman (@devonchubbsx), 30, a hairdresser from South Wales, has gained traction on TikTok after sharing a glimpse of her nontraditional wedding day—complete with a gray dress, bridesmaids in white, and a stress-free attitude.
In the now-viral clip, Coleman poses for photos in her gray gown alongside bridesmaids dressed in white, and they realize the "type B" bride has forgotten her bouquet for the shot. The video has racked up more than 72,300 views on TikTok.
"I have always known that I wouldn't wear a white dress as I never wear white anyway," Coleman told Newsweek. "Then I went to Laura Ashley in Cardiff, and that was the first dress I saw and tried on. Then I found out the name of the dress, and the dress was called Sutton, which is my little girl's name, and I just knew that it was made for me. I felt absolutely amazing all day. I even slept in it as I didn't want to take it off."

Type B personalities are typically relaxed, flexible, and easygoing individuals who handle stress well and are less driven by competition compared to their Type A counterparts.
Rather than being inspired by trends or tradition, Coleman said her choices were purely based on what she liked.
She had always envisioned getting married in a barn surrounded by fields and mountains—and that vision came to life at Sugar Loaf Barn in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. She described the venue as breathtaking, with panoramic views of the Welsh countryside and a unique feature where guests arrive on the back of a tractor.
Coleman said that both she and her partner took a very relaxed approach to planning. Despite having 10 months, the couple didn't finalize most details until just a few weeks before the wedding. There was no seating plan or order of the day—guests were free to enjoy the event at their own pace. Instead of a formal sit-down meal, they served food from Mexican and Italian street-food trucks, creating a more casual and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The couple even invited their sheep dog to the venue, who they momentarily forgot about, and he pelted his way to the farmhouse they were staying in. Luckily, he returned to walk down the aisle just before the bride.
Coleman's gray dress has sparked particular interest online—especially because it challenges the long-standing tradition of brides wearing white.
White wedding gowns became popular in the 19th century after Queen Victoria wore a one to marry Prince Albert in 1840. Before that, brides typically wore their best dress in any color.
TikTok users flooded the comments section with praise for Coleman's fresh take on wedding fashion.
"This is stunning. I love a different colored dress," wrote Kayleigh Campbell.
"Wow … you look insanely beautiful," added another fan.
"Omg [oh my God] how utterly gorgeous and so cool," posted one commenter.
"VERY DIFFERENT and VERY BEAUTIFUL I LOVE LOVE IT," wrote a user named Audrey.
"When I spotted the bride it took my breath away, absolutely stunning," shared another viewer.

I visited Olive Garden for the first time in nearly 20 years. The meal wasn't perfect, but I can't wait to go back.
I visited an Olive Garden location for the first time in almost 20 years. I ordered four of the "create your own pasta" dishes, which came with soup or salad and breadsticks. Some of the meals were better than others, but overall, I was impressed by the dining experience. When I go to a chain restaurant, I know I can typically expect reasonable prices, decent food, a few crying babies, and a completely full stomach by the time I leave. On a recent trip to Olive Garden, my son and I experienced all of that and more. I hadn't been to the Darden-owned chain in nearly 20 years, so I was excited to see how the experience would stack up against other restaurant chains I've been to recently. Here's how the meal went. The chain is known for serving classic Italian-American fare. The Italian-American restaurant chain opened its first location in Orlando in 1982. It's owned by Darden — the same company that owns brands like Longhorn Steakhouse, Ruth's Chris, and Yard House. Today, there are nearly 900 Olive Garden restaurants around the world. However, my son and I visited a busy location in Long Island, New York. We started with the chain's unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. Since I hadn't been to an Olive Garden location in nearly 20 years, my son and I decided to order four different "create your own" pasta dishes to get a feel for the chain's offerings. Each meal came with the chain's signature "never-ending" soup or salad and breadsticks. To try a bit of everything, we asked for two servings of salad and two soups — pasta e fagioli and chicken and gnocchi. I wouldn't call the Olive Garden breadsticks memorable, but they were definitely bountiful. We were able to have as many as we wanted, which would have been great if we didn't have so much food coming. Although we enjoyed the bread, I found other parts of the first course to be more memorable. The salad was a bit overdressed and heavy on lettuce, but the croutons were tasty. I was impressed by the soups. Both soups, however, were better than I expected them to be. The chicken and gnocchi soup was rich, creamy, and loaded with an excellent balance of meat, gnocchi, and spinach. I also thought the pasta e fagioli was savory and balanced without being overly salty. After sampling each, my son and I agreed that the latter was the better of the two. When our meals came, I wasn't a fan of the pasta with marinara sauce. I make a decent homemade marinara sauce from scratch using a can of tomato sauce, chopped onions and garlic, salt, sugar, and a basic blend of herbs. The process, not counting the slow simmer, takes less than 10 minutes and is anything but a challenge. So, getting a dull marinara sauce from an Italian-themed restaurant was disappointing. I thought the marinara ($14) tasted like it was poured right from a can, without any additional handiwork by a chef. It was salty and tasted like — well, tomato sauce. The addition of freshly-grated Parmesan, black pepper, and red-pepper flakes helped some, but frankly, I'd choose my own marinara sauce any day of the week. I didn't love the meat sauce, either. Olive Garden's meat sauce ($14) tasted just like the marinara, but included ground beef and Italian sausage. The sauce was a bit too thin for my linking (it wasn't watery, but it wasn't thick, either) and the beef was a bit on the tough side. Without the tomato sauce, I'm willing to bet the meat would have been quite dry. Unless the chain changed up its marinara recipe, I likely wouldn't order either of these dishes again. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the creamy mushroom sauce. I typically detest mushrooms, but in the name of honest journalism, I ate several of the noodles that came in the creamy mushroom sauce ($14). I was pleasantly surprised at how good the taste was, even though I didn't eat any of the sliced mushrooms in the bowl. My son did, however, and said the dish was superb. My tasting of the noodles revealed a rich, creamy, flavor you'd expect from a classic Alfredo sauce, and I can see how anyone who enjoys mushrooms would've found the dish a pleasure. We loved the five-cheese ziti al forno. The five-cheese ziti al forno was more expensive than the other "create your own" pastas we ordered, but it was well worth the $19.30 price tag. It was heavy on cheese but didn't feel overwhelming. Overall, the dish had a flavor that reminded me of vodka sauce, and I loved the fact that it was baked. The fresh parsley sprinkled atop the pasta also added a nice herbal profile. Of the four meals we tried, we took home the least leftovers from this one. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Olive Garden If you go to an Olive Garden expecting a Michelin-starred experience, you'll leave disappointed. However, if you come expecting food that will be filling, satisfying, and priced fairly, I'll wager that more times than not, you'll be happy with your meal. I never had a strong opinion about Olive Garden, but after visiting for the first time in almost 20 years, I'd definitely consider it on my list of places to return to.

Carly Simon Defends Sabrina Carpenter Against Album Cover Backlash: 'She's Not Doing Anything Outrageous'
Carly Simon is defending Sabrina Carpenter amid the backlash against her album artwork for Man's Best Friend In an interview with Rolling Stone, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker said the LP cover seemed "tame" Man's Best Friend is due Aug. 29Carly Simon is standing by Sabrina Carpenter. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, June 18, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker came to the pop star's defense amid the backlash surrounding the cover for her forthcoming album Man's Best Friend. The album artwork features a photo of Carpenter, 26, on her hands and knees as someone who appears to be a man grabs her by the hair. In the image, she's donning a short, black dress and black heels. Simon herself released a similarly controversial cover with her 1975 album Playing Possum, which featured the "You Belong to Me" artist on her knees wearing black lingerie and black leather boots. "Everybody looked at it, and people definitely had a reaction to it,' Simon, 81, told the publication of the controversial album cover. 'But they wouldn't have told me what they really thought.' When the album was shipped to stores, she was met with bolder reactions. 'Suddenly, I'm getting calls from Time and Newsweek, saying, 'This is one of the sexiest covers that has ever known,'' Norman Seeff, the photographer who shot the cover for Playing Possum, told Rolling Stone. He continued: 'There's this whole controversy around what did it represent? It felt very much like that energy in a woman, but I just thought of it as a beautiful shot. None of that stuff they were talking about was the intention." Simon also addressed the criticism Carpenter has faced for her Man's Best Friend album artwork, which she didn't understand. "She's not doing anything outrageous,' she told the outlet. 'It seems tame." Added Simon: "There have been far flashier covers than hers. One of the most startling covers I've ever seen was [The Rolling Stones'] Sticky Fingers. That was out there in terms of sexual attitude. So I don't know why she's getting such flak." Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio album and its cover art on Wednesday, June 11. The news came after she shared the album's lead single "Manchild" earlier this month. In the days after she shared the album cover, Carpenter responded to an X user who reshared the singer's Man's Best Friend album cover, saying, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' The 'Espresso" hitmaker then reshared the post and said: 'girl yes and it is goooooood.' Man's Best Friend follows Carpenter's chart-topping LP Short n' Sweet, which was released last August.

How Filming Italy Sardegna Plans To Serve As A Bridge Between Italy & The U.S.
Now entering its eighth edition, Filming Italy Sardegna is gearing up for what looks set to be its buzziest event to date. Founded by Tiziana Rocca, the film and television event kicks off June 19, 2025, at Forte Village in Cagliari, Sardinia. The festival will present more than 70 films, many of which are Italian or world premieres. Notable titles in the line-up this year include Steven Soderbergh's Presence, starring Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan; Reflection in a Dead Diamond, the critically acclaimed spy thriller from Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani; and Karate Kid: Legends, directed by Jonathan Entwistle. The festival will open with the film Poveri Noi by Fabrizio Maria Cortese, starring Paolo Ruffini on Thursday. More from Deadline Roastmaster Jeff Ross Lands Venue For Broadway Summer Stand, Sets Opening Date 'Grey's Anatomy' Star Harry Shum Jr Is A Nurse On The Edge In First Trailer For Movie 'Do No Harm' X Games Competition Series In The Works At Bunim/Murray 'The lineup is incredibly rich and diverse, spanning multiple genres, regions and perspectives,' says Rocca, who also returned this year as artistic director of the Taormina Film Festival, which wrapped June 14. She says that Sardegna is different to Taormina in that it is 'more grounded in mentorships and education'. For her, she sees the four-day event serving as 'a powerful platform for introducing cinema to younger generations.' 'Filming in Italy Sardegna was created to give real visibility and opportunities to the next generation,' says Rocca. 'Reaching our eighth edition is a proud milestone and it proves that our efforts are making a difference. Our purpose is to support young talent, foster industry connections, highlight female voices and promote both Italian and international cinema.' She points to the festival's short film competition, which is organized in partnership with the University of Cagliari, as one of the star events of the festival. The short film jury will be presided over by actress and director Macaela Ramazzotti, and she will be joined by Heather Graham, Alec Baldwin, Rocío Muñoz Morales, Riccardo Milani, Aurora Giovinazzo and Giacomo Giorgio. There's also a strong emphasis for the festival to spotlight women in the industry and this year, Sardegna is honoring The Last Showgirl director Gia Coppola with the Women Power Excellence Award. 'Her presence is a source of great pride for our festival and a tangible sign of the increasingly strong link between American cinema and our country,' says Rocca. Other notable guests this year include Simon Baker, who will receive the Filming Italy Excellence Award, and Cuba Gooding Jr., who will be honored with the Filming Italy Creativity Award. French actress Anouchka Delon will also attend, receiving an award in memory of her father Alain. Italian actress Martina Stella will act as the fest's godmother. Television will also play a central role at the event this year. 'Today's audience consumes stories across both film and TV, and we fully embrace that evolution,' Rocca says. In addition to Baker, other major TV stars such as Fran Drescher (The Nanny), Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn), Melissa Roxburgh (Manifest), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Karen Pittman (The Morning Show) and many others are set to touch down on the Italian island. 'Their presence highlights how storytelling has expanded into serialized formats with equal artistic value,' says Rocca, adding that many will be participating in masterclasses, public talks and conversations with students. 'Their insight and experience will inspire dialogue around the future of cinema, storytelling and artistic collaboration.' Promoting the region, in particular Sardinia as a prime filming destination, has also been a core objective for Rocca as she has been steadily building the event across the last eight years. 'I chose Cagliari and southern Sardinia specifically because these locations are breathtaking yet underrepresented in global cinema. Through the festival we are shining a spotlight on the island's landscapes, culture and infrastructure, encouraging international filmmakers to consider Sardinia for their next project.' She adds: 'We're also proud to note that Sardegna is a plastic-free, eco-conscious festival. We highlight films that raise awareness around sustainability and environmental issues, especially for younger audiences.' Filming In Sardegna takes place June 19-22, 2025.
