I drive to work pretty early in the morning and when I do I listen to Elvis Duran and the morning show. I like listening to their phone taps and I heard a doozie today. A bridesmaid phone tapped her bride! So apparently this crazy person (bride-zilla - there are no other words) sent out an email to all of her bridesmaids with a lists of don'ts and I'm thinking - don't get drunk, don't ruin your dress, etc. Nope, the list included not gaining more than 10 pounds before "her day", you CANNOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES cut your hair, her words "everyone has to have the same hair for my pictures!", etc.
So Danielle from the morning show calls as a lady from a salon informing the bride that her friend/roommate, the bridesmaid, left her earrings at the salon after her haircut. The bride was quiet and then said "what do you mean haircut? Do you mean she got an updo or did she actually get a haircut?" and Danielle, in her cute NJ accent, said "Yeah, she got a bob, it's so cute!" and the bride went crazy. I mean the girl sounded like she was having a freaking panic attack right on the phone! The bridesmaid three-ways when the bride calls and they get into an argument and the bridesmaid actually stood up to the bride and told her she was being crazy and controlling. That while the bridesmaid was willing to participate she was sick of the bride being controlling. It was awesome! The bride kept saying "It's my one day, my ONE DAY!" and this was the best part! The bridesmaid said "Honey you had your one day a while ago, this is your second marriage." I almost died, I was laughing so hard. Danielle jumped into the conversation, probably to clear things up before the bride could kick the bridesmaid out, saying the zilla had been phone tapped.
It was great. I've actually never met a bridezilla, my friends are pretty chill or not even married yet and honestly, I like to think I'm pretty calm - haven't really planned much and just going with the flow and enjoying my engagement. So hearing some crazy bride - putting a voice to all of the horror stories - boy what an experience. I hope this bride learned but I highly doubt it.
What I did get from this is I don't understand why someone wants everyone to look exactly the same in their pictures - right down to the makeup. Every girl is different - I can understand the same dress, to a certain degree, but shoes, makeup, hair. You're willing to ruin relationships to have a couple of "perfect" but very BORING pictures to remember one day? It's crazy what people will do. It really is.
