I am a Bridezilla and my confession is....

Well I say control...I may mean channel in the right direction!

Mayfair I think it sounds great! :T We are doing half and half, having a posh bit and then a knees up with chips being delivered and eaten out the bag! My family would be more comfortable with the "knees up", and it will be great fun! So we get best of both worlds.

Luckily nobody is looking down on us for that yet, but then again my family may disapprove of the posh bit (being country folk!)

Awww MiL2bs ay?! Mine isn't invited so don't have that stress thank god!
I'm a bridezilla because my bloody cake maker has booked a holiday over our wedding date. But it's ok, she will make our sponge cake 8 days before our wedding. Err I think not!!

Aarrgghh...my 16yr old DSD will be my BM. She currently has very blonde hair (totally non-natural). It's been getting paler and paler and I was hoping she wouldn't go any paler as she'll start looking weirdly ghost-like. As it is, long pale hair, with her purple dress and pale silver shrug and shoes, looks really nice.
Now I've just gone on FB to see that she's planning to dip dye her hair bright red!!! I have told her it better be back blonde by October, her mum has said she'll look like a tampax :eek:. Ok it's HER hair and she's young and will probably carry it off but right now I'm just cringing and really don't want her to do anything until after the wedding!!!

sorry, i dont know your family situation but if that was me id be telling my mother i dont give one fig for her "approval"
my day, my wedding, and if i want to wear kleenex tissue boxes on my feet i bloody well will!

and i would also be looking online for a link to something really ugly, show it to your sister and say you LOVE it and have bought it for her to wear...

My sister wants me to fork out £110 for some 5inch bridesmaids shoes for her (she's being a moo about the bridesmaids dresses as well cos she doesn't like them), I only (they were half price!) spent £50 on my shoes so why would I spent that on hers?!

Your post just reminded me about what I was doing the other day to get back at her... Looking in primark to find the post horrendous and cheapest looking pair of shoes physically possible... It did make me smile for a few hours when I thought of how her face would look if I presented her with some sparkly, flat jelly shoes! :rotfl:

The best man has taken it on himself to buy ribbons for the wedding car taking the groom to the ceremony. What a lovely gesture you may think ... But he's bought GREY! He's using his car to drive them both and cos its white he thought white ribbons would clash.

He's done this without talking to me or my OH, but I've already bought some ribbons (although not enough for both cars) and they are WHITE! I assumed he would get white too as he did this for a wedding we went to last year, or at least have the decency to check with us first. :mad:

Sorry! Rant over! I realise it's petty but it is our wedding and not our fault he's got a white car!

When we were planning our wedding last year I totally fell in love with a venue but it was too expensive. We even considered a late ceremony and buffet but it was still too expensive, so we booked our current venue.

Just been on the first place's website (for another reason) and saw that they're now doing a last minute offer which is much cheaper and includes more stuff than our venue.

Sob sob sob.

I am in full on bridezilla mode at the moment, with only 12 days to go I could kill someone.........where do I begin, this is going to be a rant!

1. OH's aunty - asked her if she would be able to make us some cakes for our dessert buffet, which she seemed delighted to do. We had her round a couple of weeks ago and we discussed precisely what we would like, amounts, flavours etc, she wrote it all down. We took some chocolate cigarillo sticks round for her yesterday as she is using them to do the sides of some cakes. She commented that she didnt think that there would be enough (despite me giving cake dimesions to cake shop) and if not she would space them out. My OH was livid, he is groomzilla at the moment, and said we would buy some more if needs be and to not space them out as the whole look of the cake would be ruined. Because we are doing things slightly different in having a humanist blessing on a farm etc its as though people think that we are not bothered, why do we deserve less than almost perfect???

2. OH's Mum - I lost my Mum 18 months ago very suddenly and have never been particularly close to prospective MIL as OH is not close to her. She is in my face all the time, and even though I have tried to be tactful and say things like I want to do some things on my own (such as having dress fitted etc, you know the stuff you imagine doing with your own Mum) she has been saying to OH that I am excluding her. I could scream, she is a totally self centred drama queen and TBH I dread what she will be like on our wedding day. We went to a wedding at Easter, my OH's Mum's cousin's daughter (I think that's right) anyway OH's Mum's cousin passed away some time ago and her husband has subsequently remarried, during his FOTB speech he briefly mentioned how proud her Mum (his deceased wife) would have been etc, cue OH's Mum running (almost literally) from the reception room, to be found sobbing saying how dare her mention her name when she clearly means nothiing to him anymore !!!!!! what was her widower supposed to do sit ina darkened room wearing black for the rest of his life.

OH has told me that she is jealous of me as he is an only child which explains alot, but I am not her enemy but she does nothing to make me feel welcome, is hyper critical and opinionated which does my head in!

3. My Dad - it's going to be soooo tough for all of my family on my wedding day, we got enagaged only 6 weeks before my Mum died, so we have all known that the wedding was on the horizon, but now it is finally here I am so apprehensive. This is probably my biggest issue, and is not really bridezilla, but although I miss my Mum I don't want our wedding day to be overshadowed by the ghost of Mum, its totally obvious she is not there. I have been seeing a counsellor at CRUSE for 9-10 months which has really helped me rationalise my thoughts asa far as Mum's death is concerned and has helped me cope. My biggest fear is that my Dad will go to pieces and will ruin the day for me, I don't intend to sound selfish, but my OH and I have been together for 11.5 years and I don't want our memories of our wedding day to be sad memories, we have enough of those associated with Mum anyway.

4.. My sister - one of my sisters is just winding me up at every turn, and its not by being nasty just by being totally stupid with some of the things she asks and says. I spent yesterday shopping with her for her outfit, and she insisted on trying on stuff that was at least a size too small and made her look uncomfortable and ridiculous, but as soon as she tried something on in her true size rather than her wannabe size, she looks amazing but then starts saying she looks fat.......I lost the will to live. She looked slimmer because it fitted right rather than a sack of spuds cos she was ramming herself into a size too small.....

I just want 2 weeks to pass so that I can be laid on my sofa on the Sunday with my husband (!) and our poochie looking forward to our honeymoon..

Thanks for reading - rant over
