Brandi Carlile and Catherine Shepherd Full Relationship Timeline
Once upon a time, Brandi Carlile and Catherine Shepherd first crossed paths via the telephone while they were in different countries and kept in touch FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR before they met IRL and fell in love. ❤️ They’ve been going strong ever since and have (blessedly) not been shy about posting their adorable ‘ship on social. Prepare to laugh, cry, and see tons of endearing Facebook life update posts as we walk through their decades-long ‘ship!
2009
Truly still can’t get over how iconic the beginning of this love story was. Way back when, Catherine—who is originally from the United Kingdom—was working for former Beatles singer Paul McCartney‘s charity. During one fated day while she was reaching out to donate Beatles memorabilia to Brandi’s Fight the Fear campaign, she actually wound up speaking to the singer herself. And the rest is history! Well…kind of.
2010
The pair wound up speaking for an entire year (!!) before they finally met IRL in New York City in 2010. “It was shocking to say the least,” Brandi confessed to People over a decade later in April 2021. “Every time I talked to her over the phone, I thought I was talking to somebody who was like 65 years old. I don’t know why. I think because of her wisdom and her demeanor. Or maybe I thought she was Paul’s age or something. So we met backstage in New York, and we were both like 27.”

Brandi and Catherine walked their first red carpet at the 2012 Donor Of The Day Celebration at The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. 😭❤️
September 15, 2012
Only a few months after their red carpet ~debut~, the duo tied the knot in Boston during a ceremony in front of family and friends. At the time, Brandi took to Facebook to share everything that went down, including some truly wow moments you couldn’t make up if you tried.
“See I’m sure all weddings have an insane week preceding the event but me and Catherine might have won that contest,” the singer wrote on Facebook. “Bailey (the dog) had to be rushed to the vet on our wedding day, and the day before the wedding we had to put down one of our goats (RIP Tim). To top it all off our priest didn’t show up! Ha ha! (Not her fault but it’ll be one of those funny stories well be telling for years). My church friends Jason and Mandy were there and Jason performed the perfect ceremony with 15 minutes notice!” she continued.
Even with all this happening, Brandi maintained, “It was truly one of our best days, completely awkward and human and beautiful. I’m married to my best friend and nothing has ever brought me more joy than that.” Obsessed!
February 2013
“The more the merrier” was clearly the wedding theme for Brandi and Catherine, because they wound up following their Boston wedding with a ceremony in Brandi’s home state of Washington before heading to England for a civil ceremony in front of Catherine’s friends and family.
In another Facebook post, the Grammy winner mused the following alongside an image of herself and Catherine at their wedding venue: “We had our London ceremony at the famous Chelsea Old Town Hall. It was one of our best days and when the officiant asked if anyone could think of a reason we should not be married, a four-year-old guest wisely shouted NO!”
June 15, 2014
Congrats were in order for the stunning couple, who welcomed their first child, daughter Evangeline Ruth, in 2014. Brandi shared an adorbs photo of the bb with the caption, “Please allow me to introduce Evangeline Ruth Carlile, Born June 15th. Welcome to the world kid! xobc.”
The couple opened up about having IVF treatments to get pregnant, and Brandi was super honest about the process.
“I made peace with knowing that there was some pioneering involved in what we were doing, to the point where there wasn’t even a two mother template on a birth certificate yet,” she confessed to People. “There is now, but psychologically, all these things are really hard. And the high dive into parenting is a complicated leap to take anyway…I’m hoping people see through my story that there’s no right or wrong way to evolve into a parenting role in either heterosexual or same-sex relationships.”

It was so diverse and beautiful, full of all walks of life and an amazing sense of strength and community.”

June 1, 2021
Though Catherine doesn’t have an Instagram, she cheekily did a takeover on her wife’s account to celebrate her 40th birthday, and it could not be any cuter. “Happy 40th birthday to my beautiful, brilliant and fearless wife Brandi. I woke up this morning thinking about us falling in love on the eve of your 30th birthday 10 years ago in New York City. We were both tortured poets, too thin and unaware of the remarkable life that we were about to build together.”

Bride erupts at pregnant bridesmaid because she didn’t want ‘dress fitting stress’ at her wedding
An anonymous bride reportedly turned to a wedding-focused Facebook group to ask if she was “being unreasonable” for becoming angry at one of her bridesmaids for getting pregnant after the bride explicitly asked all of her wedding participants to refrain from doing so ahead of her big day.
The bride’s inquiry was shown in a screenshot and shared on the “Wedding Shaming” subreddit, a 535,400-member Reddit forum where anonymous users shame wedding themes, brides, grooms, guests and vendors for controversial plans and behavior.
“Bride is upset when she can’t control the family planning of her party,” a Reddit user captioned the Facebook post on Saturday, June 3 — which to date has received more than 970 upvotes and a “Bridezilla/Groomzilla” label.

The anonymous bride wrote that she knows she “can’t stop anyone from becoming pregnant” — but even so, she said she still doesn’t want any pregnant women at her wedding.
“From the very beginning, several times before, I even asked my girls if they were OK with waiting to have babies or another baby until after the wedding,” the bride wrote. “I just wanted no stress on dealing with if dresses fit correctly and what not.”

“One of my bridesmaids hid it from me for a few weeks before she ever said anything and my wedding is a few months away,” the bride continued.
“Am I wrong to be upset because she’s making me feel like I am? I’m happy for her but I just wish she didn’t keep it from me and lie to me & expect me to still have her.”
The Reddit post has generated over 100 comments — and nearly all the commenters believe the bride is being unreasonable and has overstepped.
A Reddit user who claims to be a member of the same wedding group wrote that the anonymous bride “was called entitled, selfish [and a] bad friend.”
Similar thoughts were shared on Reddit with various written diatribes.
“My sister-in-law was SO nervous to tell me she had gotten pregnant like six months before my wedding, because of b——- like this,” one Reddit user wrote. “I was thrilled and her bump is a great addition to all the photos.”

“Ewwww. You don’t have your friends in your wedding party for aesthetics,” another user wrote. “You have them there because they’re who you want by your side on one of the best days of your life. No matter what. The attitude of some brides stink.”
Said another user, “She’s basically upset because she won’t get the photos she wants because of how someone looks. Would she also be mad if someone broke their arm or leg & had a cast?”

“Brides pick a date years in the future and expect you to follow terms for a meaningless position,” one Reddit user quipped.
“Right? If you don’t want anyone to be pregnant at your wedding then get married quickly when no one is pregnant,” another user replied. “You can’t plan even months ahead and expect everyone to put their lives on hold for you!”
Several Reddit users wrote that they weren’t bothered at all by wedding party members being pregnant at weddings — and were even overjoyed to have people expecting babies in their wedding parties and as guests. (iStock)
Several Reddit users wrote that they weren’t bothered and were even overjoyed to have pregnant bridesmaids and guests at their weddings.
However, some people noted that they only became concerned when pregnant guests attended weddings despite doctors advising them not to do so.
Other Reddit commenters pointed out that wedding party drama is a big reason they decline bridesmaid proposals or celebrate when couples decide to not have bridesmaids or groomsmen.
“For the original story, I think it is very telling that the bridesmaid hid her pregnancy as long as she could because she knew her friend would react that way,” one Reddit user wrote.
Cautious parents-to-be generally wait until the end of the first trimester to announce a pregnancy, according to Healthline, an online health information provider.

“I’d pretend I was pregnant even if I wasn’t, just to get out of being her bridesmaid,” one Reddit user commented.
Said another, “The bride gives the whole, ‘It’s my birthday month,’ ‘It’s my wedding year’ vibes. Like grow up, please. It’s possible to be happy for others and yourself at the same time and it is still your day.”
BRIDESMAIDS WERE ORDERED TO ‘HIT THE GYM’ IF THEY’RE NOT A SIZE 8: REDDIT
The Reddit post also received sarcastic responses from social media users who wanted to illustrate other unreasonable requests that can be asked by future brides and grooms.
“Make a deal. You won’t be pregnant in her bridal party as long as she doesn’t steal your thunder by ever having a baby,” one Reddit user wrote.
Some Reddit users wrote that they think that women who want bridesmaids at their wedding should be understanding that the people they invite into their wedding party have their own lives before they ask for such a big favor. (iStock)
“I’ll also make sure to tell my [sister-in-law] she better get in shape quick, too, because she’s having a baby like two months before our wedding. But not tooooooo in shape. I need all my bridesmaids to look hot but not too hot,” said another user.
Very few Reddit users showed understanding toward the anonymous bride, but the meager responses that are present in the comment thread appear to be leveled.

“She can’t expect women to plan their pregnancy around her wedding, but she has the right to choose not to include pregnant women in her bridal party,” one Reddit user wrote, which received downvotes from the group.
“Trying to control who can get pregnant is absurd,” another user wrote. “However, if the friend knows the bride is like this, then why agree to be a bridesmaid then not be honest that she’s expecting?”
Other Reddit users argued that getting a bridesmaid’s gown tailored isn’t that hard of a fix. Some disagreed with that. (iStock)
“I mean … I can kind of understand this. A lot of planning goes into a wedding,” a Reddit user wrote. “Then add in tailoring a bridesmaid dress?”

The Reddit user continued, “But, at the same time, trying to keep your bridesmaids from getting pregnant is not something you can control. People will get pregnant with or without the bride or groom’s permission. Don’t be a jerk about it.”

Said another commenter, “If someone in your wedding party is pregnant, suck it up and deal with it. At the very least, if you’ve bought an expensive dress for her that has to be altered or exchanged because of her pregnancy, sit down and discuss it with her like adults.”
57 Memes About ‘Cringeposting On LinkedIn’ Collected By This Facebook Group
LinkedIn has recently found itself at the center of a growing debate over its evolving nature, leading some to believe that it is entering a cringe era. The platform serves various purposes, functioning as a work-centered social media platform, a tool for job seeking, and a way to track former classmates’ success. However, it is difficult to deny that recently, many people have noticed the platform becoming a bit cringy.
Popular trends such as the hustle and motivation culture, which gained significant traction in recent years, have also found their way onto LinkedIn. This has even given rise to online communities like the Facebook group “LinkedIn Memes For Go Getter Teens,” which curates and shares the most cringe-worthy aspects of this culture in the form of memes.
Here is the list of the best and most cringy posts shared by the group we selected to present to you today.
Bored Panda has reached out to Victoria Zhong, the admin of the “LinkedIn Memes for Go Getter Teens” Facebook group. We asked a couple of questions related to the community connected to share the most cringy posts on the social media platform. First, we wanted to know the origins of the group and what inspired Victoria to create it. She told us: “I was scrolling on LinkedIn and noticed that many posts there seemed to follow a formula—especially those by large LinkedIn influencers. Many of these posts were self-aggrandizing and felt very out of touch with regular, everyday people. I thought the posts were especially funny where people tried to spin mundane events into fables with some lessons.”
The group description states: “LinkedIn related cringeposting”, and at the moment it counts nearly 50k members. We were wondering if there is any mission that connects this huge community. Victoria Zhong explained: “There’s no real mission of the group. It’s just a place where people can use humor to discuss or vent about frustrations they have about work or finding work.”
Having this many active contributors, the posts on “LinkedIn Memes for Go Getter Teens” are published daily. The page was created 2 years ago, and only last month it published 337 new posts. We asked Victoria if she could think of any instances where the memes shared within the group have ignited engaging conversations or debates among the members, but Zhong shortly mentioned that she does not have any specific examples.
Finally, we wanted the Facebook group’s admin to provide us with her insights into the curation process. We wanted to find out what specific criteria Victoria considers when handpicking the memes to share with this vibrant community. Zhong told us: “For myself, it would usually be posts that haven’t been previously posted or classic memes that haven’t been posted in a while (like ‘I stopped to help a dog and was late to a job interview and the interviewer turned out to be the dog’). For others, it would be relevant posts that aren’t recent reposts. I personally prefer image posts but do allow videos every so often.”
