    Thanks girls! Yep, 8 weeks! Madness eh?! I wouldn't mind her using my ideas but literally everything I'd told her we're having (wishing tree, homemade candles on tables,hog roast, the flowers, my shoes) I wouldn't mind a few or if she made them slightly different, but shes even using some of the same site as me so they will be EXACTLY the same. Argh!!!

  • Just remember hers is a month AFTER yours do everyone will know you had them first especially as you've been planning a lot longer.

    SPurs Gal, Trinity has a point. She will look the weird one, copying you. Also, be flattered she wants to.

    Plus, you know that old saying - marry in haste, repent at leisure? Remember that when you are really fed up with her stealing your ideas.

    can i be an honourary groomzilla as one of my friends and his fiancee are really p---ing me off

    first of all he hasnt been round since the summer, they were giving invites out, got to our house and he stayed in the car- reason? I didnt go to his stag party arrangement and meet everyone thing cos my ibs was bad and had left me throwing up every day. he doesnt keep in any sort of contact with me apart from jokes on a text message, our mutual friend who has done so much for them doesnt get invited, just invited to the wedding. he has another stag party guest meet up in a month and a half- i'm scraping by because I start a new job, how long will he be annoyed for this time? I dont even know anyone there apart from the groom, one odd guy added me on facebook (he was seriously strange) I couldnt make it to a planning meeting so he deleted me, he had appointed himself organiser and the best man let him get on with it out of laziness (grooms actual words)

    His bride is even worse- she tells lies to everyone that she hasnt seen us for a year, then produces a wedding list with loads of expensive useless tat on it, nothing they would actually use for years to come, and if we announce anything about our wedding she is really nasty about it. her latest announcement is there are 2 flower girls, a 6 year old and an 18 month old- why would anyone have an 18 month old flowergirl? she wont have any concept of what a flowergirl is now or why she was one when she is old enough to understand?

    Hi all. Not sure if this counts as a bridezilla issue or not but I am having my first major wedding related strop and need to vent. Maybe I'm the only one, but does anyone else wish people would just leave them alone!?

    Seriously, might sound silly but I am sick of everyone running stuff by me all the time! I am arranging pretty much everything myself but have outsourced a few jobs to a couple of friends and family. And now I am just being constantly bombarded with questions, emails texts and calls, about every tiny thing!

    Seriously my MoH is emailing me every time someone speaks to her about the hen do and I have to tell Her what to do or say in every case! What is the point of that it's hardly taking the pressure off me if I have to help every step of the way.

    My friends daughter is being flower girl and keeps emailing me 'what about these shoes' and things like that, why do people not listen when I say I honestly don't mind, she can wear whatever she likes!

    One friend who offered to help with a few things like gift bags for the kids calls me every time she sees something in the shops that 'might be good' but she is 'not sure'..

    Maybe this sound silly and maybe im the only bride who feels like this but I really don't want to know the minute details of all the little jobs I have given out - the reason for asking people to do these tasks is so I don't have to think about them so constantly contacting me about them kind of defeats the point. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I just need to vent. I am so so grateful that these people are happy to help me but I don't need the stress if being consulted on every little thing. I just want to say thank you for helping but please just shut up and get on with it I do not want to micromanage you!!! Argh!!!

    A friend of my OHs has told us that his gf is not coming to the ceremony just to the meal and reception after. Now neither of us are happy with this ... how do we deal with it? Don't want the friend to be upset but I think this is rude!
