I saw that episode that girl was awful, but the groom was just as stupid. First he put up with it but he was also upstairs playing video games instead of helping. Sometimes I feel sorry for the grooms and think why are they marrying these women but they must know.
I think a bridezilla is someone who doesn’t care about what other think, spends like there is no tomorrow and does whatever she needs to do to get what she wants.

You should absolutely watch Sarah Haskins “Target:Women” about weddings. It is on current tv (meaning online) and absolutely hilarious. She really hits a number of issues straight on the head.

My videographer swears its scripted and told me to watch the credits because there are writters.

I haven’t had a chance to see the credits to see if that’s accurate though.

I saw a series of episodes because the woman sucked me in. In not particular order here’s some of the things she did, mind you this was the second time she was marrying the SAME man:

When he presented her with the band he picked out for her, she called it a “piece of sh!t” then flicked it.

She tore her veil apart in another scene.

She assessed her maids and demanded a couple to stuff their bras (one of which was her 16yo daughter).

At the rehearsal dinner she stuck her hand in a guests birthday cake because it was HER day. She then smashed the fist full off cake in the face of the birthday girls husband.
I was sure he wouldn’t go thru with it but much to my surprise….he did. The fool!

Now I always TiVo it for laughs. The women featured are not bridezillas, they’re just hateful, miserable biatches…routinely. I think one can have bridezilla behavior where we might get stressed or whatever but its because we’re so focused on the goal.

Last night I was cutting tulle w/ my mom & MOH/sis. It wasn’t going well and I announced that I was getting upset. I eventually walked away because I was annoyed at the stupid tulle BUT I never yelled, shoved, or even swore. I was a bride focused on a task that got complicated. My awesome assistants just told me not to worry that no one would even notice and showed me an example of what they meant. Does that make me a bridezilla?? Sort of but not in the traditional sense.

Now if I had yelled, shoved or sworn that would certainly have been bridezilla like the witches on the show.

In the end I think there are “normal” bridezillas and “crazy” bridezillas. One is very temporary. The other is a chronic way of life.

I think some people do become kind of insane. I almost “broke up” with a friend of mine because she was so obsessed and stressed and freakish about her wedding. Let me tell you - the wedding was Immediate Family Only. Three of us threw her a bridal shower and we took half a day off work to help her get ready for the thing that we Were Not Permitted to Attend. She told me she burst into tears when she was getting a pedicure because she “was so stressed.” I thought, you’re insane. I quit. To me, that is bridezilla, someone who loses all perspective. Women who get stressed about planning a large party for 200+ (or fewer) people and who spend a year planning, that’s not bridezilla, that’s just stress. I mean, when Ms. (now Mrs.) CreamPuff wrote about bursting into tears at the place where they stitched her programs, that made perfect sense: she had poured her heart and tons of time into creating meaningful details for people she loved. And she’d been working on it for a LONG time, of course she was tired and stressed. That didn’t make her Bridezilla. I think that’s the difference, perspective. People throw around labels a lot, most of the time they do so too lightly to make the label meaningless. Some people are awful people (like the woman in that show) and some become insane and others just have reasonable responses in context.

I was called a bridezilla twice by mother for extremely trivial things.

In one case, my mom found a photographer (through a friend, she never even looked at his pics!) and had a fit when we said we didn’t like his style and we asked if we could select from another photographer in the same studio.

The second time it was because I thought it would be a good idea to leave the dressing off the salad and let our guests put it on themselves. I don’t like dressing and my fiance doesn’t like the main ingredient in the dressing option, so I was sparing us both. I figured surely we weren’t the only ones that prefer dressing on the side. That request earned me the second bridezilla tag.

A few months later she had started watching the show and apologized. I hate that term and hate how people think they can just throw it around. Having an opinion about something does not make one a bridezilla.
