Bridezilla (a portmanteau of bride and Godzilla) is a generic term used to describe a difficult, unpleasant, perfectionist bride who leaves aggravated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake. A bridezilla is obsessed with her wedding as her perfect day and will disregard the feelings of the family, bridesmaids and even her groom in her quest for the perfect wedding.

13-18 - Well you've almost got a spot on team Bridezilla... but not quite. You're sort of like the water girl - you're supporting the team and you're learning a lot.
Okay, so seriously I was totally NOT a bridezilla. I promise! But I have a better understanding now of the "Bridezilla" than when I first started watching this show. I first started watching it for the pure entertainment. Yes, it is kinda funny to watch someone slowly lose their mind. It's also entertaining to try to watch sane people deal with insanity. But now? I watch out of sympathy. I watch to know that someone else at times wanted to pull out their hair. I watch because sometimes you do want to scream at the top of your lungs and kick the dresser (one girl actually did that! She's lucky she didn't break at toe!) Some of these girls don't intend to demanding and hurtful. You just get to a point of your brain about to fall out of your head. There are 1000 decisions to make and once you make those there another 100 for each! That's a lot of decisions people. Trust me. So the next time you see a Bridezilla headed your way just smile and move to the side. She is on a mission people and the steamtrain known as "wedding" stops for no woman, man or child.

This is just too funny! Even though I scored really low on the Bridezilla scale I totally understand the phenomenon. I was discussing the stress that causes Bridzilla's with A Day To Remember Wedding Consultants Lora Ward just the other day. I believe that a lot of stress is added by the bride herself. When in your life do you spend so much (your money or your parent's) on a party for all the important people in your and your soon to be hubby's life? It's an opportunity to impress, or at least be very gracious and who wants to make a mess of that opportunity. It's scary. You don't want to blow it!
Just remember, these people LOVE YOU! If you forget their flowers or if you don't visit their table, THEY ARE STILL GOING TO LOVE YOU! And if you do embarass yourself, sure they'll probably mention it to your kids and grandkids, but hey, long memories and laughs aside, you've GOT to have a SENSE OF HUMOR!
I was definitely NOT a bridezilla either...but I can also see how a bride could end up with that title! When you have so many different tasks to accomplish, it can be quite overwhelming at times. Just remember what the whole wedding is really about: you and your fiance! Sometimes people (friends and family) can forget that as well, but as long as you keep sight of it...that is all that matters. This is your big day! Make sure, in the end, you have zero regrets and your celebration is representative of you and your soon to be husband! And,remember to keep things in perspective; having a strong point of relativity in mind when addressing any "issues" will be very helpful!
