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

Horace

Happy - older guests can be entertaining as they have tales to tell. I can remember my own wedding which my maternal grandmother attended, my friends still talk about the day even now and about my grandma (I wish she was still here) because she regaled them with tales of when she was a girl, when I was little and the mischief I got up to etc.

Anyway..I had better scoot - the word bridezilla puts the fear of god into me (they are a wedding planner's nightmare):eek:

I'm a bridezilla and ..............

I'm not really enjoying planning this wedding, i really hate arguing with my h2b about wether he agrees that we should have popping candy in the children's wedding favour bags or not, amongst other trivial things.
My biggest fear is of being the centre of attention for the whole day argggg(i'm bound to do something stupid like trip over my dress or something lol).
Would it make sense if i were to say that i want to be married, i just don't want to get married - or do i just sound insane???

I am planning to have a second dress too.. as long as i can afford it!

Have to add, another bridezilla moment.

At the neices wedding recently, all us female members had buttonholes and i was teh only one who wore it right way up. Sod tradition, its a shame to put all the effort into making a buttonhole to have it wasted in a droop (i know its cos the bloom is supposed to last longer but i am not convinced of this given that flowers are naturally held up by their stems) so I am insisting that h2b tell his female family members (when we see them) that they will be wearing the button holes the 'right' way up or else they will be given a wrist coursage. I am making them myself so not worried about cos. In indian weddings, all blokes are given a carnation buttonhole (just simple ones made with foil) and I want to do that but need to enlist some family help - which is difficult seeing as most of my 'extended' family is not invited. our immediate family alone is over 25 people and both our families combined (before adding friends to the numbers) was close to 200!

I didn't realize there was a "right" way up Any help would be really appreciated

I think that traditionally the flower is at the bottom and the stem at the top but Magicgirl wants them with the flower at the top (How it would be naturally)

I've never seen anyone wear a flower/corsage/buttonhole with the stem at the top?

Sod tradition, that is just wrong to have an upside down flower on your chest lol!

I just thought I'd bump this...

I'm not really a bridezilla (honest!) but I just know that my in laws to be are going to try and 'host' the wedding. They're insisting on knowing every single detail about our plans. When OH told MIL2B that I've chosen my dress, she asked if she can see it. I said no!

The only thing that comes close to bridezilla is how we ended up with our wedding venue. I made a list of venues, sorted in order of my preference and OH didn't like my preferred venue. I drew up budgets for the same number of guests for each venue and (coincidentally) my venue came in second cheapest. I took him round every other venue and he agreed that none of them were quite right. We both liked his favourite, but it would have worked out at around £18,000 and is in the middle of nowhere. The last venue we saw was my preferred venue. He liked it. Now we've had our wedding package upgraded to a different room and he LOVES it!

Think I've trained him well now, though. When we took his parents to see it, they kept suggesting little extras that would, inevitably, cost more money. His stock answer was "we're happy to go without that, but if it would really make you happy we wouldn't refuse your generous offer to take care of that for us"

I am getting close to having another BZ moment, my mother wants me to invite little brothers GF of a few weeks to the whole day, even though its £70pp and its supposed to be a 'small family event' *sigh*

magicgirl

Hayleythedaisy was spot on. sorry for not explaining it more clearly.

had a few bz moments recently - kinda similar to yours frannyann but the other way round!

h2b's sister is in a relationship with a bloke who she has now been with for over three years. his sons who have lived with them since the start of their relationship are part of the family as far as i am concerned as they have and do treat my sil2b and her children without prejudice and always have. In my eyes, they have to be invited same as the rest of the family but like you frannyann, its £70pp. thing is, my daddy is paying for the meals (i plan to top up the costs if there is any conflict as i had given him a set figure and its slightly overthat but I planned to let him cober the reception within the figure we agreed and tehn i pay for the evening buffet which is pretty much a fixed price). h2b doesn't see the step children as family (they are all in their early 20s) and all of them are in relationships that have recently been rocky so on top of the embarrassment over arguing with h2b, I had to give teh cards to his sis and explain that i haven't put the names of gf's on there but if they plan to bring the gf's, just to write their names on. I had totally forgotten that her own son has been with his gf since before xmas but as that was the only time i met her, i felt so rude not remembering and had a major rant at h2b after even though his memory is worse than mine. I just figured that in our own relationship, i would have taken offence at not being invited (bit different as i was expecting our first child within months of us being together) but even so... I wish it wasn't all about money. I even had one of teh mums from the school ask me for an invite! i said she is welcome at the church but i am still finalising figures. i can't bring myself to just say no! then she started offering to do my hair and got me thinking that for teh cost of a meal, i have a beautician but then i remembered its not just teh cost of a meal. she has a child inmy daughters class and then will expect her partner to be invited.. where does it end?? eeek!

Hi, I'm a bridezilla and I want to tell my bridesmaids the colour scheme is turquoise, and that they can choose their own dresses as long as its turquoise. Oh and pay for them too so I have more money for my dress!! I want to be a princess for the day!!!!
