I am about to get married and my wedding is NOT an expensive wedding its simple yet elegant! i am not going to yell at my mom. or my bridesmaids, I am getting married and its the day I will become one with my fiance which is what all this is about! I really dont see the need to be rude to people that is horrible they have all been nothing but nice and helpful why would I do that to the people I love?

searched this site out because my son is marrying a Bridezlla who is so focused on Her Day, Her Way she has reduced him to a wreck and managed to piss me off big time. Have half a mind to skip this fiasco entirely and make his second wedding a big event because his marriage to this monster ain’t gonna last.

Just a tip from just another mother of just another bride who becomes a monster disguised as a princess: It’s not wise to be mean or scream at the only one who will still love you after your big day, in spite of the way you behave, and it’s not smart to behave that way to the one who paid for your wedding day. So please, whatever you do or say, don’t make the big mistake of refusing to see that the mother of the bride is not the enemy.

Just a little thought…Don’t jump on me here for this…
But when did a marriage become more about the wedding than it did about the relationship?
I’m currently involved in a wedding where the bride is so miserable with the fiance, fighting constantly, and all she can think about is the wedding. What’s going to happen when she’s at the wedding, looks around and sees how perfect the place cards and all that rubbish look—-but she can’t even look in the face of her groom and feel passion and love and excitement?
Or when she looks back at her photos that cost $2400, she’ll see a bride and groom who spent weeks and months on end in a bad place with eachother.
There’s a difference between being “bridezilla”, and wanting your wedding to go over smoothly.
I didn’t have one stress leading up to my wedding. Not ONE. I didn’t make my bridal party feel like garbage, I didn’t boss people around, and I wasn’t rude to the people helping me put my wedding together. But I can honestly say, it was the best day of my life. I also didn’t damage my relationship with my (now) husband in the process.
Bridezillas have to be careful not to ruin the friendships and relationships of the people that are there to support them, just for the sake of having a “perfect wedding day”.
nothing is perfect, and having unreachable expectations is horrible for yourselves and for everyone else involved. Once you accept that, you can enjoy your wedding day happily. I pity anyone who does nothing but stress over such minor details.
guess what: 50 years from now when you’re sitting on the couch with your husband, do you think you’ll even REMEMBER that your place cards mistakenly had a gold trim instead of a silver trim?
people are so superficial sometimes…

There’s a difference between being a shrewed business person with an eye for detail and a completely annoying b*tch bridezilla. A bridezilla just gets played for all her parents’ money by vendors who play to her need for “the best.” A shrewed business person gets a fab wedding for less and actually enjoys it and so do the guests.

It’s “officiant.”

I had the pleasure of being Maid of Honor in my friend’s wedding and it was wonderful. She wanted everyone to have a good day, she knew that there was a chance that some things would not go as smoothly as planned, and she accepted it because she was ecstatic about God uniting her with the man of her dreams. Everyone loved her for it! Her gracious nature made us bridesmaids WANT to make her day great, and not just do it out of obligation.
I would like to know how many Bridezillas actually ENJOY “their” day? I do not think there are many. I think this is because they spend soooo much time being unhappy about things that they are unable to enjoy the blessing that God has given to them.
I landed on this site due to a heated debate about bridesmaids dresses with a future Bridezilla. The idea of making everyone else unhappy for one person’s “day” is horrible. It will produce ill feelings for all of the people who attend or participate in the wedding and in the end who really wants others to remember “their day” in disgust.

I’m trying not to be the ultimate bridezilla, but I know I’m at least a bridezilla to some extent. It’s about throwing ourselves the most fun and lavish party. As I read in a Bridezilla letter we are the Queens at Buckingham Palace and we invited other “royalty” to enjoy a grand ball with us. I want my Grand Ball to be the way I want it. I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I?

Thank you Miss B for sticking up for bridezillas!!
Please don’t tell us brides to NOT want a perfect day and we should be gracious to our guests–heck no! It’s our wedding! If we want 100 upon 400 photos of ourselves and our bridal party and our groom–then so be it!!
