Everyone isn't a BRIDEZILLA! RIGHT?

Future.Mrs.Mak, on January 21, 2013 at 8:12 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 22

"Don't be a bridezilla, I already know! you will be ONE"

Why do people assume that ALL brides are bridezillas? That is so annoying! Some, like me, actually don't want to be one. I want to have fun on my BIG day and be at peace with everyone, so I get so annoyed when people are always like, "oooh the bride always turns evil on the wedding day."

Why can't they just be positive?

It's like, do you want me to be a bridezilla? Be careful what you wish for...

Anyone gets comments like that?

How do you deal with them?

(going to the gym real quick, sorry if I don't reply right away)

    I think my FSIL is just waiting for the "bridezilla" to emerge. lol I really don't care about the little things, seriously I don't care! If you wear neon beige to stand with me in my wedding, I really don't care because I will still be married at the end of the ceremony =)

    Doesn't bother me personally because I receive the comments in jest. Also I'm a stickler for details, so I'm a bit Bridezilla that way.

    However if people constantly tell me I will be annoying on my wedding day, then I see how that will be frustrating.

    I haven't gotten that yet but I think its because I've been so laid back about everything either that or people are saying it behind my back LOL. I was freaking out until my fiance actually started giving his input on things. Now I am so much more calm

    Let's be honest . . . most women go a little bit nuts in the days leading up to their weddings. At what other point in your life would you lose sleep over napkin colors? I don't think that is "bridezilla" because I think a bridezilla acts like a two year old at all times. If you can keep your normal throughout your planning process and wedding, that's amazing! Share the sanity!

    Every bride has the right to have some "bridezilla" tendencies. I am very type A personally, (if there is such a thing, I am AAA personality) and I like to have things how I like them. What is the point in spending all this money, if there is any chance you will look back and think, "oh... I wish we did it this way instead." It is my goal to look back on my wedding and have absolutely NO regrets. This is our ONE day to make things perfect. People are going to disagree with your decisions, but all you can tell them is that it is your wedding, and they can do their wedding however they want to.

    I've been told im too calm and too laid back. People keep asking why I'm not in freak out mode three months before the wedding. I'm taking every chance I can to try to not get stressed its hard, but I also know my bridal party/parents shouldn't have to get stressed because I am. I'm a pretty decent problem solver and generally come up with solutions alone so I don't get too panicked

    Michelle, I'm the same way!!! I don't see the point of freaking out of there is nothing to freak out about!

    Date twin, yeaaay I totally agree with you on that!

    Ali C, I also don't want to look back and regret. everything will not be perfect. Something might go wrong but it's not worth being angry about and driving people crazy!

    So far I've been laid back, so, I'm just trying to enjoy every moment. Let's see how things will unfold in the next 2 months:-p

    Nah, I can't be bothered with the effort that being a bridezilla would require. The little things don't bother me. Maybe because I'll be 30 when I walk down the aisle, but I honestly just don't want to sweat the little things. I saw on Pinterest a quote that said "I want a marriage that is more beautiful than my wedding." and that is me to a 'T'!

    I don't care what the BP wears (within reason, we will provide guidelines only)...I want them all to be comfortable. The invitations aren't going to be perfect and my girls and I will probably misspell a name or two on the envelopes. The flowers probably aren't going to be EXACTLY what I expect them to be, but they will still be beautiful. If my MOH wants to get pregnant, I'll say a prayer for her success and if my cousin wants to get married at the end of November, I'll see if I can salvage any of my wedding decorations to PIF.

    People are surprised by how little I care, but I do care...very much. I've just come to learn that there are very few things that we can control in any situation and I plan to hold on to those things and let go of the rest!

    I wouldn't say that I'm completely bridezillaish, but like at first I would just say okay to everything and everyone, but the more I discovered the cost of everything, I got more assertive. I am now speaking my opinions and learning to say no to things.

    I really object to the whole term, bridezilla. Since most women will be brides at some time, it's basically a way of slamming women. It's kind of like the mother-in-law stereotypes--again, a role that most women will at some point have. The people who in the old days would stereotype women as a whole can now pretend they aren't doing that, while still engaging in stereotyping that will affect most women.

    Weddings can be stressful. And some people, in moments of stress, go ballistic. But when an executive goes ballistic due to job stress, we don't start making jokes about executillas. It's only in the case of women that we think it's okay to tar an entire class of people because some of them react badly to stress.

    I was called a bridezilla because I told someone I wanted my bridesmaids in long dresses... Its a fairly formal evening wedding though so I don't think its a big deal.

    I'm super laid back about everything so far... I'm too happy about it not to be!

    A couple people have said that to me which is weird because I haven't even really asked anything of anyone. People have offered to do things for me. My aunt, mom, cousin (who is my MOH) and I were all sitting around and I just asked, "hey, are you planning on doing a speech at the wedding?" because we hadn't talked about it and I wasn't sure and my aunt goes, "don't go getting all bridezilla, Monika!"....it was very odd, and she was drunk, but I was still annoyed.

    I just rolled my eyes and moved on. My best friend offered to do my invitations and then was taking forever to talk about it with me so when I finally asked her she said something along the lines of "You only want to talk when it's about you," which wasn't true. I reminded her that SHE offered, and if it wasn't something she wanted to do that was fine, and I would find someone else. She changed her tune pretty quickly.

    I was called a bridezilla last week because apparently me not using every suggestion (all two that I was given) means I am mean. And then when i mention the wedding, they change the subject. So I told my sister it upsets me no one wants to talk about it AT ALL, not go over every detail, I get that, means I am mean and a bridezilla. Uh what?! I have picked things I dont even want to make everyone else happy- I'm not even doing what i want! Long dresses- didn't want, color-didnt want, large BP- didnt want. I mean come on people!
