Bridezilla

[Laker_Girl]

So I'm addicted to that show 'cause you know I'm getting married and all, I like having a sneak peek at my future. So, I'm watching tonight and I just swear to God that I know that bitchiest of all bitchy bridezillas and yep, I do. It's the now sister-in-law of one of my oldest friends. I've known my friend for 27 years and I've never once met her brother but damn it if they don't look exactly alike. I have met the bridezilla and her attitude was stunning. When I met that bridezilla at my friend's baby shower she couldn't have been sweeter if you'd rolled her in sugar.

I remember this episode of Bridezillas with a girl who wasn't older than nineteen getting married to a guy she'd only been out with three times.

:wtf?:

I couldn't help but wonder when the baby was due.

I love that show I tell you. I think it is so funny that brides practically ruin their own weddings because they have to control EVERYTHING.

I'm a total type A personality so everyone assumes I will be a monsterous bridezilla but the truth is I read something a long time ago that put everything into prespective for me. It's all about the getting married part, not the wedding or reception and I truly believe that. I refuse to become a bridezilla and that's where my superior organizational skills will come in.

Amen.

I have to wonder how long those marriage where the wedding became more important than the marriage that followed it fare overall. Not to well, I imagine.

I haven't given much thought to the details of a wedding myself. Never daydreamed about it much when I was little and back when I was seven, I proclaimed that I was never going to get married (but I'm sure that had to do with me hearing my mom bitch about never finding a good man).

You should try to get on the show, so we can test that philosophy in action.

^Heh, I probably should.

Retrotrek (You remember her) is in the wedding. Granted, she lives in Dallas and she won't be here for everything but I thought I'd have her make a guest appearence on my behalf while I'm on my honeymoon and have her post pictures and give all the juicy details about how I actually acted.

I think I'm going to be a cool customer but I'm already completely overwhelmed and I haven't done anything but make a bunch of lists and pick out dresses.

Been thinking about it since I was flower girl in my cousin's wedding 30 years ago. It has morphed from full scale 300 guest platinum wedding to 90 people (most of which I don't want to invite but have to) and hors'd'veours...or however the hell you spell it.

I'm older and wiser and want a house, not to feed 300 people. My theory, if you want a good meal and drinks go to dinner, this my wedding not a restaurant.

Good for you Sweetie!! Bigger is not always better, it just costs a whole lot more with more people to please.

Sounds perfect with 90 guests...

I want a "Deer Hunter" style working class wedding--rent the town VFW Hall, have the Women's Auxiliary cook the spread, and have a polka band.

Well, not really. But part of me does.

You'ed suffer from casserole dish overload - the kind made with canned peas, chunks of Velvetta Pretend Cheese, canned creamed soup and Spam, followed by lime Jello with sour cream. . .oh and some sort of corn brownies made with soda crackers. Dear God in Heaven save us from Midwestern cuisine.

P.S.
Good show Laker_Girl on scaling back on your wedding. Small, but chic, beats grandiose and bloated anytime.

Thank you Enk. I'm going for inexpensive and simple but elegant. I'm extremely fortunate to have a mother with excellent taste so I don't have to pay a florist a fortune for anything.
