Are you a bridezilla?

My fiance keeps calling me a bridezilla too... jokingly!

One of my bms is completely driving me berserk so she brings it out of me.

To add... I've noticed some people are writing that they are more focused on the marriage. My fiance and I have been living together for 7 years and we get along great so no worries there. Since we waited this long we want to have the best party we can so we are focusing a lot on the details.

It's only one day but we want it to be really special :-)

In all honesty I was just married on June 6th 2008, and after being together for 8yrs prior, and planing our wedding for a year, I didn't have all the stress some brides experience. I'm glad I had good friends by my side to help keep me in line a couple of times, but no major explosions like you see on the bridezilla show.

I wasn't even close to being a bridezilla.

Being called a bridezilla isn't a compliment though. It's really an opportunity for you to stop and think about your behavior and put things back into perspective. Just because they have a show called "Bridezilla" doesn't mean it's good to be one or to aspire to be one.

I'm soooo not a bridezilla. My fiance actually tells me I need to be more aggressive with getting people to help with the wedding planning.

Now, if there was a term for a stressed out bride without the cussing people out and not having the temper tantrums, that would be me.

No! I never came close to being a bridezilla. All of my bridesmaids teased me about how laid back I was. I hope you know what a bridezilla is, cause it really isn't a compliment to be called that. It usually means you are coming across as bratty, bossy, self centered, and only worried about yourself on your big day.

No. I don't sweat the small stuff. It's not worth it to make enemies, make yourself look like a fool and act like a spoiled brat.

Want examples?

All my bridesmaids picked out their own dresses. I picked the color. They picked the style, length, price, etc that fit for them.

The girls also chose their own shoes and hairstyle. Some were updos and some were not.

Everyone talked about how nice it was to see each girl be herself.

When my hubby's Uncle (a Priest) invited himself to be a co-celebrant the day before the wedding, I said, sure, why not?

When the Best Man complained that he didn't like the song I picked for the wedding party's dance, I told him to go ahead and pick what he liked.

When hubby's aunts suprised us with an engraved cake serving set and toasting flutes, I had my mom stash the ones we brought and used theirs.

I absolutely did NOT want a dollar dance, but some well-meaning guests "suprised" us with one. I just went along with it with a smile. What was the alternative? To cause a scene and make everyone uncomfortable?

All of that stuff really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

And when the day was over, my hubby commented that he loved me all the more BECAUSE none of those things made me upset.

The wedding is about the celebration of marriage. It's not about color schemes, cakes, decorations or perfection.

Let everyone just be who they are. And you will find yourself without any drama.

you're okay with him calling you that? gosh, I get soooo pissed when my fiancé says that.

That show works me up so intensely that I can't watch more than like 10 minutes of it. Those girls are MONSTERS. And the men they're engaged to should maybe second think marrying those girls. They go haywire.

I don't think I'm a bridezilla at all. I am picky, but I'm not controlling and nasty like most of those girls. I mean, imagine knowing that you're on a TV show that highlights nasty brides. yeesh..

I'm sure I've had a few moments, but it was all more over traditional stuff that I don't want or don't want done. My mom and maid of honor have had to kind of talk me into some things.

I'm not worried about the day, it's really just a big party. I'm more focused on our marriage.

Nope! Do you even know what a bridezilla is?! LOL.
