Bridezilla Moments

iamjoesgurl

I'm watching Bridezillas and I am always amazed at how ridiculous they are. The closest I got to Bridezilla was an argument I had with the lady who was supposed to steam my gown. (I had a DW and made an appointment 3 weeks prior to the wedding to have it steamed 2 days before. When I got to the shop, the shop owner told me that she did not have time to do it and I kind of freaked. I had to deliver it to our venue that night. It was the only shop for miles around that could do it. I was firm, not really rude, and ended up getting my way.) Anyone care to share their Bridezilla moment(s)?

I can honestly say I didn't have a bridezilla moment. Not even with the crazy dress debacle.

betrothed, that would have driven me to a bit of bridezilla, too.

LOL Betrothed (yes, I actually laughed out loud)

Right as BP and we were supposed to be introduced into the reception, DH's uncle decided to make it an open mic night.  He grabbed the mic and proceeded to make a very long and very religious speech. I had never met this uncle beofre and what really bothered me is that DH and I are not religious at all.  Needless to say I was furious and took it out a little on DH and had to step outside.  When we got our video back and watched it, I got a little annoyed then too.

It wouldn't have bothered me as much if he was a child, but he's 21 years old.I had no problem with the weed smokers.  There were a few people who brought their paraphernalia to our wedding.  There may be some red eyes in our pictures, but oh well.

My cake topper fell off my cake before we were introduced intot he reception. I saw it happen and I was like, can someone please get that (it was in another room), this one girl just stood there. I was like Hey, the cake topper, help. But in a not nice voice. I felt really bad after the fact that I said that.

I had one tiny one. We had an unintended receiving line/meet and greet (there wasn't really anywhere for us to go - they forgot to unlock the door to a holding area, but it was fine) and I was dragging my dress train. My mom told me it was getting dirty and my sister (MOH) was standing next to me. I said "well then bustle it, since it's too hard to hold up." I never expected for my sister to trail around behind me and hold my dress, but maybe just keep it out of the way and straighten it when it got flipped. It sure came out a lot biitchier than I meant for it to, though.

Haha!  That could be problematic.I was invited to a wedding a year or so back.  The bride apparently had some friends who smoke, but she's 100% against it.  She included an insert in the invites letting all her guests know that if they can't go the entire weekend (from the time they pull in to her state to the time they leave) without smoking they should not come.  I don't smoke weed, but it was enough to make me decline the invite.  I don't need someone trying to control my entire weekend.  I can see that request for the ceremony/reception, but the whole weekend?  Really?  And you're going to put that in ALL of the invites?

Wow I am speechless..I can't believe she actually put no smoking weed all weekend in ALL her invites!! That is honestly crazy

An invite insert saying you can't smoke weed the entire weekend?  Now I've truly heard it all.

betrothed123

No joke.  When I called her on it she said she couldn't trust these people.  She had no response when I todl her it wasn't her job to police her guests.  The best part of the whole thing?  She posted on P&E on a fairly regular basis.  She knew better.  That whole wedding was a mess, though.  She started nagging guests for their RSVPs 2 weeks before they were due because she just had to know and the RSVP date wasn't soon enough for her liking.

I proofed my BIL's invitations the other day. They're having a small wedding and providing beer and wine for their guests, but no spirits. The venue allows people to bring their own alcohol, so she was trying to word the invites to let people who don't drink beer and wine know that they could bring their own drinks if they'd prefer. On the invite I read, not only did the specify that guests could bring their own alcohol, but it was then followed by a sentence saying that drunkedness was not acceptable at the wedding. She clarified with me by saying that she didn't want people to think the wedding was going to be trashy seeing as they were mentioning bringing drinks, so she thought that including that sentence would make it better... She's a gorgeous girl and I do adore her, but my gosh. Needless to say, I advised to remove all mentions of the drinks.

Have not made it down the aisle yet, but I did already have one 'zilla moment already (Hopefully, I won't have any others, lol).My wedding is January 1st, on August 14th all of my BM dresses were ordered. At the time, my younger sister's dress fit perfectly, and my older sister's only needed a hem. My own mother said to the both of them as we're placing the order "Alterations can get really expensive, and since you [older sister] only need a hem, and you [younger sis] don't need anything, just MAINTAIN your weight for the next 4 months ... you will be so much happier that you don't need to deal with anything extra if you do this".Well, the dresses come in at the end of September, and we go to pick them up. Both of my sisters gained about 15 pounds since ordering the dresses ... and of course the dresses no longer fit.Well, the 2 of them start screaming at ME in the middle of the store "This is all your fault! Who the f*** orders BM dresses so far away from the wedding? I can't believe you were so stupid, we shouldn't have ordered these things until November! We only did this so early because you're an anal compulsive b*tch that needs to do everything on a "schedule" ..." like 15 solid minutes of the 2 of them just berating me and pretty much calling me bridezilla for ordering dresses 4 month before the wedding. In the middle of the store, in front of sales people ... I was ready to cry.So instead of crying, I went off on the both of them "You both are unbelievable! I have spent my entire life taking a back seat to BOTH of you over every, single, little thing. And now that I'm getting married, you still can't even pretend for 5 seconds that you actually care about me. You're calling me a bridezilla, at what point has my wedding SERIOUSLY interefered with your lives?!?!?!? I have done all of my shopping with Mom and Grandma, I have priced venues with Mom and Grandma, when I want an opinion on something, I go to Mom and Grandma. I haven't asked either of you for one. Single. Thing. aside from getting the god-damned dress and making sure it fit ... and somehow you couldn't even manage to do that, and I'M the one that's "stupid"?!?!?!?! You know what: I'm done with both of you. It's not like it'll have any impact on you, so f*ck it, I'm DONE".I proceeded to stop there, and for the rest of the night if they tried to talk to me, I just said "What part of 'I'm done with you' don't you get?".Not my proudest moment.

The only task I gave DH the day of the wedding was to get ice and chill all the beverages.  Was anything cold 2 hours before showtime?  No.  Fortunately I had friends lined up to help with whatever needed to be done.  That was the only moment I had all day - pretty good, I thought.

Still laughing about the "don't smoke weed" message, that would be hilarious Dear Nan, if I catch you Smoking, drinking or popping pills at my wedding you'll be out, no questions!

I went off on my (then) fiance right before we went to the rehearsal. I had my dress and both bridesmaid's dresses carefully laid out in my trunk. They had already been pressed, so I didn't want them to wrinkle. He had, unbeknownst to me, tossed his duffle bag in my trunk, on top of the dresses. I called him an effing moron (right in front of his dad) and threatened to beat him bloody (semi-seriously) if he had damaged any of the dresses.But, the morning of the wedding, I didn't freak out when, while we were taking pictures before the ceremony, the reception venue called him to ask him where the keys to the linen closet were (they were in his car). Just laughed about that one and a guest offered to run them to the venue for us.

Meg - FWIW, I think you ordered the dresses at the right time.  We were told we should order 6 months prior to the wedding because they could take up to 12 weeks to be delivered and then we would need to schedule alterations.  My BMs ordered in April for our October wedding.  Just curious, are your sisters still in your WP?

My little bridezilla moment happened before I was married.So I when I picked my date and told everyone it was going to be in Colorado. I ask my DH side of the family what time would be good to come up to Colorado. They said Labor Day weekend would be great so that way they can have time to fly up here. I sent out save the dates etc... Then his cousin few months later decides to get married in the July of the same year. I did not think anything of it at the time.  Then I send out the Invites and his whole big family except his immediate family declines no. We got this huge venue to fit his family they are super close since they do family vacations every year. Anyways we call up people to ask why they could not make etc, everyone made some sort of reason why the big one was they could not afford it. I understood with the economy the way it was. Then I found out that they all managed to travel to the other cousins wedding but not ours. And I broke down and went a  little crazy. My poor mom had to bare the brunt of this. I am still peeved at his side of the family complete ignoring us but they all managed to travel to the other wedding. It was like were we not worthy enough for them. But hey simce that cut down our guest list down by 50 poeple we got to upgrade everything and my side of the family and our friends had a lot of fun.
