Am i a Bridezilla?

Jessica, on May 20, 2021 at 6:02 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6

Our wedding is in 79 days and our families and wedding party are making me feel like I am going to have a mental breakdown (as if I haven't already had one). I truly don't see it but maybe I am missing something. My MIL bailed out of the contracts she was going to pay for, these are also the things she demanded we have at the wedding, because we decided on a taco bar for dinner. One of our groomsmen and my FIL tried fighting at the end of our engagement party (thank you beeritas). My maid of honor started dating one of our groomsmen and now he wont even speak to me anymore because of all the things she has said to him about me. My bridal shower/in town bach party was this passed weekend. It was so beautiful and my girls did amazing on the whole thing but once we went out to the bars there was so much drama I got overly annoyed with everybody. My maid of honor then left me to go be with her boyfriend and I had to hitch hike home with a stranger. My stepdad that same evening treated my mother awful and I got mad at him.

So long story short I haven't said anything about the drama of the wedding to most of the wedding party until Saturday when I actually got very upset with most of them for all the drama and leaving me and told them it was supposed to be my day and all they cared about was who I invited out and being with their boyfriends. I do not handle conflict very well and don't voice my feelings well. When I get pushed to the edge I snap and I get mean. They all said I am a bridezilla and don't want to help with anymore planning if they don't have to(my fiancé travels for work so I've done a lot myself). I am about to break down and call the whole wedding off. I miss my maid of honor and my friends so much. If I'm being awful I don't mean to. I have just stressed and overwhelmed dealing with it all on my own and finally just snapped. I am not a bad person and am such a people pleaser and do everything for my friends and family, but right now I am feeling like crap. None of them barely speak to me and I don't know if I should reach out or just accept the fact these next few weeks I am on my own.

I need help! I am so upset I want to cancel the whole wedding but my fiancé said he would never let that happen because he wants to marry me even if we do it alone (he is an angel, been together 8 years)

    Talk to them. Individually call all your friends and explain everything like you just have to us. If you really feel bad, then you should apologize and hopefully they’ll be understanding.

    This is good advice. I can't answer the question in the title because I don't know you, of course. But I don't think it's a bad idea to consider one's own culpability when everyone in one's life is upset all at the same time.

    Moving forward, communicate to your partner that you need his help. Him traveling for work isn't a reason not to help with wedding stuff, especially with less than 3 months to go. You two can do this if you work as a team.

    Oh man, that sounds like a lot of drama. I shut down when things get too complicated like that, so I commend you for working through this. Me personally, I would cancel the wedding and elope with my fiancée just the two of us. Or — change it to a destination wedding and only the “true” friends and family who care the most will be there. Good luck with everything!

    This is a lot of drama. How old are you and your friends? I’m guessing very early 20’s? It’s hard to say if you have been a bridezilla without the full context but I’m assuming it’d be easiest to try to avoid anything that involves alcohol before the wedding... seems like the drinking is when drama arises.

    I have pretty much just shut myself off and distanced myself from all of them. I cant handle the stress anymore.

    Hi. It's been a weekend since posting, has your situation gotten better? I would consider separating your friendships from the wedding. Don't rely on your friends to help you plan and execute your wedding. Your FH should do this with you. If his work makes him too busy, this may be a pattern that continues. And if you both together, decide you can't create a big wedding, then plan a smaller one that you can and consider eloping. Your friends can be happy for you from afar, they will be home with their boyfriend drama. Honestly, if all my friends ditched me and I had to hitchhike in possible danger, I'd be livid, too. I wouldn't let them party on my dime when they can't even look out for my welfare.
