Tigerlily Taylor’s Surprising Wedding Revelation

A Quick Romance Leading to Marriage

Tigerlily Taylor, a star of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” has shared an unexpected detail about her wedding ceremony in Amman with Adnan Abdelfattah. At 41, Tigerlily met 22-year-old Adnan on Instagram and, just four months later, traveled to Amman to marry him. Her decision has faced criticism from fans, especially since Adnan appears controlling, similar to her ex-husband. Tigerlily’s previous marriage was difficult, taking four years to finalize a divorce. Marrying a Muslim man without understanding his culture or expectations was seen as a significant oversight.

Addressing Financial Concerns on Instagram

Recently, Tigerlily took to Instagram to reveal more about her life, including whether Adnan Abdelfattah is “poor.” Following a recent episode of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” where Tigerlily legally wed Adnan, she engaged in a Q&A with her followers. The grand wedding reception has yet to be aired, but Tigerlily shared an Instagram Reel showcasing the event’s grandeur. A follower questioned if she had financed the wedding, assuming Adnan lacked funds. Tigerlily clarified she “didn’t pay a dime” for the celebration, as it is customary in Adnan’s culture for the groom to handle all wedding expenses.

Financial Dynamics and Family Involvement

Tigerlily considers herself “lucky” for not having to plan the wedding, as Adnan and his family took charge of the arrangements. Her background suggests a life of wealth and privilege; she once casually spent $26,500 on a watch simply for its exclusivity. Even during her marriage to her controlling ex-husband, she was accustomed to luxurious gifts. Professionally, Tigerlily is a certified handwriting expert and owns several businesses. However, she admitted to her life coach that she and Adnan had not discussed finances.
