Were you a bridezilla?

Asked by punkrockworld (960points) March 6th, 2009

Some may know the show on tv where couples plan their wedding and the girl turns into this monster. Did you experience the same?

Not at all. I was knocked up and had morning sickness all day, every day, for the entire thing up until a week before the wedding. I didn’t care what the hell happened; I was just thrilled it happened at all.

Certainly not. I also believe there is no excuse for being or tolerating a bridezilla. You are getting married not a license to act like an a**hole.

Nope. I knew what I wanted and made it happen. I didn’t bother anyone with rediculous demands. My biggest problem was our parents saying we had to invite so and so (a cousins ex room mates best friends aunts gardeners blah blah blah) I said no, they didn’t like it but got over it.

I made a valiant effort not to be one, up to and including letting everyone pick their own dress and hair (whether or not to have it done). I’ve been very fortunate in that my friends are also very chill women and have not put me through anything too awful. However, I’m in 2 weddings in the next year that are shaping up to be pretty rough. Woot.

I wanted a certain type of bouquet, that was the only thing I was picky about. And I fought a lot with my mother over the place we’d have the reception, she felt since she was paying she should get to choose..and not let the bride and groom choose at all. My father had to calm her down about that one. My father ended up picking the place and we all agreed upon it.
We had a destination wedding (if you call Vegas a destination…) so, I didn’t get to see any of the places in person, it was more of a go with the flow. It could have turned out terrible, but even if it had, I would have still been happy to be marrying the man I love.

No, I wasn’t. I knew what I wanted & my mom & I got along with everything. My husband just backed off & pretty much let us take care of everything. We’d ask him his opinion, of course, but he was totally cool about everything we decided. It was easy as pie.

How would you define a “bridezilla?” I wasn’t demanding, but I knew how I wanted things to look/play out.

augustlan's avatar

Not a bit. In fact, I made every effort to have a very small wedding the first time around, and had an even smaller one the second time. The second time, I even made my own bouquets, and did my bridesmaids hair myself (ok, so they were my children, but still…).

No, but I played one on TV!

they needed someone who could knock the minister down when she tackled him and they couldn’t find a woman who could do it

My first wife was a wifezilla. She was a monster in a sociopathic behavioral sense. Seriously.

Nope. My husband-to-be-and I put on our own little wedding, keeping it small and within our means, and had a nice party afterward. Did it all for a few hundred dollars and never wished it had been anything else.

Our wedding cost less than a thousand bucks (and we had about 50 guests). I wore an outfit that I bought for less than $100, still very pretty. It was held in my brother-in-law’s backyard, and his wife did the cooking and stuff. Whatever she did was fine with me. She wanted to do frou-frou candles, flowers, and I was all like, “Well, if you want.”

“Why won’t you be at least a little Bridezilla?” she asked one day in frustration. “You’re no fun!”

Lordy, no! How utterly unattractive.
Personally, it seems that these “bridezillas” are more interested in the wedding than the marriage and building a life after the “big day”.
A shame.

I’d like to think that I wasn’t.
Though, on the other hand, I definitely had a bridesmaidzilla.

I really wish I hadn’t asked her to be my bridesmaid. We might actually still be friends. Though maybe it was a blessing in disguise because it helped me see how fucking crazy she is.

My wife was actually as best an angel as she could be. She had a lot working against her though. For some reason her mother kept on trying to take over the wedding. Naturally, that made the claws and talons come out.
