 1. Donald Trump is causing a lot of tension between couples

Have you and your partner been squabbling more about the election than usual? You’re not the only ones. In an exclusive poll by The Guardian, it's been revealed that four out of five Donald Trump supporters thought their spouses would vote for the same candidate, while nine out of 10 Hillary Clinton supporters thought the same.

This means that people voting for Clinton are much more confident they didn't marry someone who could vote for Trump—but Trump supporters aren't as sure that their spouses won't vote for Clinton. 

2. "If you lost your wedding dress in the flood, I want to replace it for you."

Redditor HumerusDoggo posted a message saying, "If you lost your dress, I want to replace it for you" on the r/weddingplanning thread, for women who might have lost their dresses in the Louisiana floods.

One woman who lost hers in the flood was inundated with several more offers, while another user she had a whole collection she'd be willing to donate.

 5. Natalie Portman shows every celebrity how to announce a pregnancy
