Yes, that was me and I still believe one is the ceremony and the other the reception BUT other than that, the two weddings have major differences which is why I'm still confused. It's like two totally separate couples/events both claiming to be Leida's first wedding photos.

And I'm STILL confused about the lavish Indonesian wedding. On 90 Day Fiance Tea, Leida posted a picture of her first wedding gown in response to a fan's question. (small picture at bottom) She's posed with her parents and groom in front of the same flower arrangements we saw on her phone. Then the second photo was what was shown as being from her wedding: Dress is different, bouquet is different, boutonniere is different and I think the GROOM looks different. To me, the bride in the second photo is unmistakably Leida although she claims both pictures are of her wedding. She's also claiming that her Ex is still good friends and they talk every day. But elsewhere I read her ex had nothing good to say about her and is the one who blew the whistle on her shenanigans

That news item was also on Starcasm, in fact I posted a link here a few days but put a spoiler warning on it. https://starcasm.net/90-day-fiance-are-eric-and-leida-married-exclusive-spoilers/ So, we are totally being “played.” They’re already married so does that mean there’s no K1 Visa involved? Doesn’t that negate the whole premise of the show?

Maybe not a pathological liar, but at the very least an exaggerator and embellisher.

On the contrary, you’ve been immensely helpful and informative. I find Wedding customs in other countries fascinating. And you’re quite artistically talented. I had to laugh at the idea of Leida insisting on hiring a wedding planner for her chain hotel meeting room wedding. I saw some photos somewhere that I wondered if they were from the wedding. Leida was wearing a white blouse with a tiara and Eric was wearing the same printed shirt he wore this week when they went to see the venue. In one photo they were standing next to what looked like a wall of wine bottles. If I find it, I’ll add it here. Here you go! I wonder if that’s their “cash bar”

"I'm not an asshole, but I play one on TV..."

I believe the second picture is at the church (or wherever the ceremony was held) and the others are at the reception venue. There is a photo on the Reality Tea website that shows Leida, her ex and her parents in front of the same flower arrangements. But wait a minute something is off here! Leida is wearing a strapless dress in the photo with the flowers, but in the ceremony picture (as seen above) her dress has sleeves. At first I wondered was she watching too much "Say Yes to the Dress" and decided she needed a second dress for the reception, as they say "something sexy" that she could "dance in"? Then I noticed her white bouquet has now become pink and she's wearing a tiara, the groom's boutonniere changed from white to pink and THE GROOM LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT GUY! (I wish I could post side by side comparisons of the two pictures, but I can't seem to save the one from Reality Tea. Maybe somebody else can?) On further enlarging, the Reality Tea bride doesn't look like Leida at all! In fact, I think it looks like it could be Reina (or another sister) because it DOES look like her parents. Editing because I noticed something else that aroused my suspicions. On the RT website there is a photo of a reception booklet that reads "Ritz Carlton Jakarta" but I can't find a single picture of any room in either hotel (apparently there are two RCs in Jakarta) that looks at all like the one shown with the flower arrangements. Could Leida's parents possibly been photographed at another couple's wedding and Leida is trying to pass it off as hers?

I saw it here: https://twitter.com/90dayfiancetea/status/1069835126908047360 Thanks! (I think) Now I've fallen into the rabbit hole of Fiance Tea. Yes, it confirmed the flower arrangements on her phone were definitely from Leida's first wedding. But what I wonder is (and maybe one of the posters from Indonesia could answer this) when you have one of these lavish weddings, are the flowers provided by the venue as part of their package or did Leida go to her favorite florist and choose them specifically for her reception?

I'm just curious, could you post that photo here, please?

CSS.MD: Does this confirm Leida was studying medicine when she was in the Miss Indonesia 2009 pageant? 32. SUMATERA SELATAN LEIDA MARGARETHA (Leida) Semester II Kedokteran Umum Universitas Kristen Indonesia 13 Mei 1989 her profile (translated) Studying in serious majors such as medicine does not necessarily make Leida stop doing her hobbies. Leida, who likes to draw various types of anime (Japanese cartoons), this realist and caricature has won a 'special' rating on Computer Science lessons on the subject of website design when she was in third grade of high school. Leida, who was born on May 13, 1989, claimed to want to follow in her father's footsteps as an ontology surgeon. He was also very happy to write and used to diligently send his writing to be displayed on the school's wall.

Maybe when Eric told her he was an "avionics specialist" she took it to mean he was CEO of a major airline

a bit of info I found online about Ashley's mysterious children: "In addition to her 10-year-old daughter Roxy, Ashley also has a son who looks to be just a couple years younger." The kids are older than I thought. At this point, Jay has been in PA for two of the three months of his K1 Visa, but there are no signs that any children live in her house with her. They must be staying somewhere off camera.

Like Eric?

Thanks for posting this! I wish we could see more detail in the photo! If we are to believe that's Leida in the couple on the left, maybe she's being photographed with her father, but that's NOT the groom. Ex is wearing a dark shirt and purple tie, the man here is wearing a white shirt and her ex looks shorter and broader in the shoulders. And what's with the other couple? Is this one of those group weddings? How convenient that everyone's faces are so small they're blurred out. It's probably not hard to find a dark haired bride with an up-do to pretend is you.

I remember that, too, so I'm really confused. How could Colt say the "lease was almost up" unless they were RENTING?

Gee, I don’t see any impressive floral arrangements at Leida’s first wedding, at least not on the altar. Maybe there were all at the reception? Or maybe those arrangements she showed the thirsty florist were just the venue’s usual displays for the public? Maybe even silk flowers? I’ve been to weddings where the lobby and other public areas have massive flower arrangements where the bride and groom take photographs, but they were provided by the venue as part of the ambiance.

I wouldn't take fashion advice from Larissa. She had an equally disturbing wardrobe malfunction where I thought I could see her sweaty thong under her too tight/short dress.

I think those are the words Eric knows he’s supposed to say, but his actions speak otherwise.

And I wonder just what she's qualified to do if she ever makes it into the work force

As they went into the store, Leida said Tanille (Eric's oldest daughter) was babysitting while they shopped. Of course, they had to go to a fancy Scandinavian furniture store, don't they have Bob's in Wisconsin?

I have it on good authority that Sgt. Baker has been posted to HGTV

Regarding MattressGate, I thought Eric was saying they put the mattress on the floor for Alless and put a mattress pad on the box spring for them. In past seasons, we’ve been subjected to many wedding gown shopping scenes and visiting prospective venues. Last season we saw Chantal and Pedro furniture shopping and now that seems to have become a new theme.

NO Princess Toast this week? I’m going through withdrawal! I can’t figure this out. Ashley and Jay in PA were filmed probably months before the episodes aired on TV, so who would have known about their marriage plans and posted negative things on the website? It’s not like Ashley is a celebrity that people follow. I’ve been waiting all season for Larissa’s scene next week, “Who is against the Queen will die!” Can’t wait!

This week’s “head shot” edited to add: he has neck rolls like a Shar Pei

Can we put Olga in touch with Anfisa?
