maeve madden : Most liked Posts

I wish her and her family well in the coming days. I'd say her dad wished her an amazing weekend, nobody knows what her family dynamics are so only her and her family know about those conversations.

Unpopular opinion I think she’s fab I love following her the content is light and easy to take or leave. I’m glad she had a great wedding as it is very hard to get married missing a parent. I will say that bow is a no though I get what she was going for but you wouldn’t wear it for holy communion

I think it's good she calls it out though because the amount of people who don't know it's a rude question to ask is astonishing.

Ive complained about her plenty recently, but the more I’m understanding about her dads situation, I think alot of the dramatics were a way of distracting herself…. She seemed fairly flat the week of the wedding and even more so since! I’m sure like everyone else would, she’s struggling massively to deal with her dad being sick! I’m sure she would have preferred to have the big wedding with him there. She did say before the Christmas wedding that she was doing it for family reasons so presumably she never thought he would make it to the big shindig!

Yes and her post was about her husband and their first dance on the actual day. How do you know her daddy didn’t want the wedding to go ahead? I think it’s unfair to comment on someone’s behaviour when going through something like that. When my own daddy was dying I did some questionable things but I was in denial and already dealing with grief so to me if I acted like normal then things would go back to normal. What do you want her to do? Never talk about her wedding because her daddy passed? It won’t bring him back and she can’t go back and undo the wedding. Maeve has done some things I don’t agree with but I wouldn’t begrudge the girl the wedding she wanted because of the circumstances

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but the last few pages of this thread have been awful and very sad to read. I’m sure I’ll get a bashing for saying this too and no I don’t know Maeve or her family.
I mean if I had the money I’d go all out and get married in Adare Manor. Does everyone with a following get this if they get married there? Nobody only Maeve & her family know the circumstances but it’s fairly clear that her dad, whilst he was sick, his passing was sudden and unexpected.

Feels inappropriate to do a recap etc. To those who might have missed the other thread, Maeve’s dad passed away this morning.

Heartbreaking seeing her stories a few hours before where she was walking her niece around her dads orchard, she’s too young to know what’s going on and Maeve was clearly just trying to hold it together, as I suspect she has constantly been doing for a while Her dad passing less than a week after her wedding is going to hit like a tonne of bricks. Feel really really sad for all of them, hoping they’re managing to find some peace.

What are you talking about?! This isn’t a rave thread, there are rave threads and this isn’t one. Scroll back and look for the percentage of posts on this thread supporting her. You’re entitled to your opinion I was simply pointing out this isn’t a thread for people who think she’s amazing.

Tbf I think she is great ! Yes is she self centred and conceited and a bit up herself - Absolutely! But she doesn’t seem to even make an attempt to hide that and more power to her for that.! She’s a good laugh and she kinda reminds me of that girl ( there was one in every class and every year group) from school who was really gorgeous but a wee bit of a melter too and ye just couldn’t help find her hilarious, good craic but a bit of a head case at the same time!

Or maybe she’s fed up with social media given people were criticising how she grieved for her late father…. I don’t blame the girl!

I really feel sorry for her with her father obviously very ill. It’s probably that that’s causing her to moan a lot

Shes doing what everyone else does and showing some wedding footage.
does losing her daddy mean she can't ever show her wedding video/pics? How absurd

Restrictions are still in place in hospital. In my case with my mum its 30 mins one person. And only twice a day. They will ease this as it comes nearer to end of life. People deal with things in different ways. No one size fits all.

In the video that the hairdresser shared with her standing ready to go it’s absolutely lashing outside and he says they have to wait until the rain eases before they go to the car so that her hair isn’t wrecked. Yet in the photos of her and her husband outside, the ground is completely dry. So when where they taken, from the rain in the clip it couldn’t have dried up that much?

The flowers were so beautiful, Maeve looked stunning too.

The bow took me by surprise but that aside I do think she looked stunning, the flowers were out of this World. They would have cost a bomb but make beautiful background for pictures.

Heidi88 said:

I know it was the day of the wedding that she had no conditioner and it makes it no less ridiculous that she was stressed out about this! Her Dad is seriously ill and that is what she is worrying about!

If it were me I couldnt go ahead with a big massive wedding knowing that a family member was so sick. I just wouldnt enjoy it and wouldnt look back on it with fond memories.

Everyone deals with grief differently though, I would presume they contemplated postponing but they would no doubt lose a lot in deposits as would their friends in flights, accommodation etc. I’m sure she felt guilty the whole day, I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to put on a brave face

Anybody from the Newry area knows how strict Daisy Hill is, even before Covid only 1 person was allowed into intensive care per day and at that they were only allowed to stay 1 hour. Some of the comments made here disgust me. As a parent I wouldn’t hear mention of my child cancelling her wedding for me, I would have wanted her to have the best time imaginable and to go ahead with all the plans. I lost my own father to cancer, he had several turns over the course of 2 years, even his last turn I thought he’d pull through like he did the others.

Agree completely.
From her stories it is clear that he was in hospital this past week and she and her husband were called to come home yesterday as he was sent home for his end of life care.
How dare she not sit in her empty house and wait for him to come home!

As you said, it could have been another turn he could have overcame. He could have stayed alive for the next few weeks or months.

Some people are just genuinely wicked people and go far past the realm of calling someone out. The same people who accused her of taking covid home to her daddy in 2020 when it actually came from his work!

Then put up the wedding photos, ya know the wedding that her dad could actually attend, not putting up photos and videos of the princess party for the insta huns and VIP magazine

Her post isn't about her daddy. It's about valentines and being in love. Why wouldn't she be able to show photos of her big day? Seems such an odd thing to get worked up about.
This is one thing that I would have to be hard pressed to find fault in.

Omg I unfollowed Maeve ages ago. SO raging I’ve missed out on these cringe insta stories you’re all mentioning from over the wedding weekend haha.

Saying that I actually love her dress & shoes and how classic/timeless they are. Be interesting to see what she does for the big Irish do!

Click to expand...

There really wasn’t anything cringe, she posted a video over her husbands shoulder as they slow danced on their wedding night lol nothing to write home about, some ppl just want any excuse to hate lol

Jackjack38 said:

I feel insta is a distraction for her, she seems all over the place. I wish her Daddy the best.

I think so too. She was so emotional in the week up to the wedding understandably so given that her Dad is so unwell and wouldn’t be able to attend. You wouldn’t wish what they are going through on anyone & many of us will have been there. There is no right or wrong way to deal with it, you have to do what’s best for you to get through it, one foot in front of the other.

I was in Maeves year at School, I honestly think she thought she had more time with her daddy. She was devoted to her family. Even if she was a bit of a dose, she loved her parents.

she always came across as an it girl, and that still shows.

So sad her dad passed away, but my dad would want me to confine on with a wedding if he was on the same position. She will be get abuse regardless what she was going to do.

the bow didn’t surprise me, very maeve, and she looked beautiful

You can be considered terminal for months and in some cases years. What Daddy would want his whole family putting their lives on hold feeling like they couldn’t do anything or go anywhere, constantly living in that fear. Yes it is awful timing, but you could also say he was happy to see Maeve have her big day and was happy to let go and be in peace

@ellsbellswell what is your point with this thread? I don't think there is one person here who doesn't sympathise with the Madden family losing a loved one is horrific.
A palliative care nurse would have known that the poor man hadn't long in fact Maeve herself knew when she went to pick up her Range Rover that time was precious for her Dad, she said it. There was probably insurance for the party if she had to cancel and genuine friends would have understood if the party was cancelled, I mean she was already married. They would have understood the familys priority to spend whatever visiting time was allowed with him in his final days (I won't go in to it but i was in a similar situation). Everyone is different, I can't imagine the stress, pressure and sadness they felt in particular her Mum who has lost her life long partner.

In the grand scheme of things the party is now totally irrelevant, I'm sure it was a day immense sadness for some, not the joyful happy celebration it should have been.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family. Rest in Peace Mr Madden, sleep easy

A palliative care nurse can not tell you how long someone has left they re not clairvoyant and I have sat by the beds of 2 family members who were dying of cancer. They can tell you what they think they will also tell you they see people who last for weeks and people who they think will live for weeks and pass away within hours. Maeves dad must have went down hill very fast she was planning for him to walk her down the aisle the week before and when someone is that sick you don’t know your arse from your elbow and it’s very hard to believe it’s happening. When my Dad was dying we didn’t know maybe we were naive but when he went to sleep we didn’t know it was a coma and he would never speak to us again and the doctor or palliative care nurse didn’t know he wouldn’t wake up again or he would go down hill so fast. It’s not like it is in films with big goodbyes and everyone getting to say all the things they need to. My heart absolutely breaks for her it’s so sad

In honesty, they don’t know sometimes. My mother was sent home from hospital palliative but given months to live and died later on that week. A friend of mines father was given 6 months, was sent home and died hours later. It’s madness.

God help them at this time.

yes I agree with you we were told on a Friday by the doctor and palliative care nurse my Dad had months to live he went down hill by the Monday went into a coma and died on Tuesday no one knew it would be that fast. There were no last words no big goodbyes real life is not a film and honestly no one wants to believe someone they love that much is going to die even when it is happening before yo I wish people would stop judging her none of us know the full situation it is the worst place in the world to be i they must all be completely devestated. I like coming on tattle the odd time for a rant about stupid things influencers do and say but this is real life I have nothing but sympathy for the madden family

That’s very kind I think it’s important we are kind iv lost my dad to cancer I know how difficult it was especially at the end I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I feel for Maeve the best and worst day of her life in one week

Poor Meave, she’s heartbroken! I’m happy she took time off social media! A few influencers could do the same sometimes!
