Bridezilla Beware: 7 Signs Your Fiance has Cold Feet
You're busy planning the biggest party of your life and couldn't be happier. But what about him? He shakes at the sight of your engagement ring. He broke out in a heinous rash at the tux shop and it wasn't allergy related. You practically had to arm-wrestle him to get him to address the invitations. Are these signs of cold feet or normal wedding jitters?
Bridezilla Disclaimer: Bridezilla isn't a Dr. (although we certainly read enough Web Md.) These are merely symptoms of cold feet, not a strict diagnosis. And keep in mind that the quickest cure to cold feet is an honest conversation.
7 real signs of cold feet
1). He keeps postponing the wedding date. Or refuses to set one. If you set a date, put a deposit down, and the groom-to-be suddenly prefers fall to summer (and then winter to fall), his feet likely feel the nip from the nuptial north wind.2.) He clings to bachelorhood. Everyone is sentimental for their single days. But if you see him gently stroking a shot glass with tears in his eyes, something is up. The transition from a wild bachelorhood to contemplative cuddles on the couch can be difficult, but shouldn't send him into convulsions. Look out if he's spending way more nights at singles' clubs and less date nights with you.
3.) He constantly references an ex. Being friends with an ex is acceptable, as long as she's part of the scenery and you're center stage. Constantly comparing her to you or making references to their long-ago love affair is not acceptable. Marriage jitters are normal. But you shouldn't worry you're marrying the wrong person.
4.) He's not involved at all. Bridezillas are perfection-seeking, anal-retentive ladies that would rather perish than let someone else (including their grooms) plan their weddings. Regardless, your fiance should respond to your task delegation. If he blatantly refuses to address invitations, rent a tux, or go cake tasting, he may have cold feet. Or he may just be lazy.
6.) He has night terrors about marriage. The thought of a lifelong commitment is daunting, especially as the wedding day grows near. But if he's popping Xanax to subdue his ever-growing anxiety and waking up in cold sweats because of nuptial nightmares, a heart-to-heart is in order.
7.) He can't snip the apron strings It's typical to be somewhat sad about "leaving the family," but he should be ready to snip the apron strings. If he demands that his mom live in the marital abode or requests a daily visit home, he has an incurable case of frigid feet. And he's a major momma's boy!
Destination Bridezillas: 9 Things to Pack for Paradise
The destination bridezilla not only desires the perfect wedding, she wants it in paradise. She's a bridezilla to the extreme -- only ocean front will do. And who else but a bridezilla would make her family travel thousands of miles just to see her get hitched?
We celebrate these worldly bridezillas, who are unafraid to trade in their Manolos for flip-flops and get married where they want, the way they want. Destination bridezillas, this blog is for you!
9 Things Every Destination Bridezilla Should Pack
9.) Antacid/Pepto. If you're headed to far away lands, the cuisine (not to mention wedding-day jitters) might upset your delicate American stomach. No classy bridezilla wants to be seen red-faced over the commode on the Big Day (unless you're bridezilla Valerie). Pack travel-size pepto in your purse (nowhere near your wedding clothes) and an antacid.8.) Sunscreen and moisturizer. Lobster should be the entre, not the bride. Unless you're getting hitched at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, you'll need to slather up. When you do tan, strive for sun-kissed, not splotchy or leathery. Remember, the tropical sun is more fierce than a bridezilla who just found out her venue ran out of champagne. We recommend NARS Skincare to keep that bridal glow even when you're in the sun.
7.) Moisture-wicking Headband. Humidity can turn your chic coif into a frizzy 'fro. Bring a sweat-proof headband, like this one from fit2bmom and keep your hair off your face while doing your makeup or lounging at the beach.
6.) Sexy Bikini. While basking in the sun, bask in your new brideness. This sexy bikini, as seen on "The Hills", titles your rump with rhinestones, so everyone knows you're Just Married. Even though you're not Heidi, you might still get the red-carpet treatment from your resort.
5.) Wedding gown. Do not check your wedding gown with your bags! Lost luggage means your couture gown could find its way back to Milan. Bring that million-dollar baby on the plane. Most airlines have a place to hang garments, so carry it with you and make sure it's secured safely in the hotel before you go gallivanting.
4.) Groom's tux and shoes. Unless you're headed to a wedding world, like Las Vegas, make sure your groom gets his tux and shoes beforehand. Do not let him wait until the last minute. Some places, the Caribbean especially, are abundant with wet suits and Hawaiin shirts, but severely lacking when it comes to tux rentals. You don't want your groom-to-be to marry you while donned in a touristy tee.
3.) Itinerary. Spontaneous types (ahem) despise itineraries. But you're planning a destination wedding, don't get on the plane without an idea of what you'll be doing on what days. An itinerary prevents your monster mother-in-law from dragging you off to see the museum of flightless birds, when you could be sipping umbrella drinks with your besties.
2.) Documents. Everyone witnessed Heidi and Spencer's first wedding publicity stunt, which occurred under the guise of "Our first marriage wasn't legal in Mexico because we didn't have the proper documents." (sigh) Check license restrictions and corral all your marriage documents ahead of time: license, passports, birth certificates, divorce papers, etc.
1.)Jewel-Encrusted, Swine-Flu Proof Mask.
Even though it's been overshadowed by Michael Jackson's death and Mark Stanford's affair, the swine flu is still alive and well. If you planned your destination wedding long before the swine flu reared its ugly snout, bring a jewel-encrusted mask (yes, bridezilla does everything in style, including avoiding deadly illnesses.) Also, bring handsanitizer. Don't think the swine flu is any match for bridezilla? Check out this article about a swine flu that crashed a Chicago wedding.

The Simpsons' Marge Named Bridezilla
Who knew sweet, blue-haired Marge would be considered for the Bridezilla Hall of Fame? In the Simpson's newest episode, "Wedding Disaster," Homer calls Marge a bridezilla as she breaks out in lizard-like scales, a bad reaction to wedding stress.
The bridezilla name and Hall of Fame should only be reserved for true bridezillas: Women who want the perfect wedding at any cost. Marge just doesn't seem the type. She wears her hair like a British beefeater hat and dons a lettuce-green dress from Sears (ok, we're not totally sure it's from Sears).
Watch "The Simpsons" episode "Wedding Disaster," and tell us if you think Marge should be added to our Bridezilla Hall of Fame.
BrideZilla Hate Mail: 10 Reasons Your Wedding is NOT Special
Bridezilla Readers,
We received some vicious hate mail from the anti-wedding brigade. And because it's just so laughable, we decided to post it. Stay tuned for our response. Feel free to comment below and stick it to this bridezilla hater.

10 Reasons Your Bridezilla Wedding is NOT Special
I've been watching a lot of Bridezillas on TV lately, and after giving it a considerable amount of thought I'm pretty sure the reason for this is because I'm a masochistic idiot who doesn't know how to avoid things that piss him off. As a result of sitting through multiple marathons of the infuriating show with my girlfriend (whom I'm beginning to love more and more for the mere fact that she's not bat shit crazy), I've started to recognize a few patterns.
First of all, the awfulness of the bride is directly proportional to the amount of screen time she gets. The show does a masterful job of adjusting the amount of time spent on each bride so it's in direct proportion to how much of a bitch she is. If you charted it out, it would look something like this:
However, if anything, this is a testament to the artisans behind the scenes, and their ability to capture unadulterated ugliness with more gusto than any horror film in our generation. Still, what's most disturbing is that from watching this you begin to get the impression every bride thinks their wedding is special. It's "their day," all eyes are on them, and they've "been dreaming about this" their whole lives. Sadly, the reality is that aside from them and (possibly) the groom, chances are no one else is really all that excited.It's my hope that I can do the world a huge public service by offering up a few quick reminders to all the would be brides out there as to why your wedding is NOT all that special after all.
