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

Thank god I found this thread again. As it gets closer I get worse.

Frannyann - am with you on the gift front!
We have done a nice gift list with loads of good value stuff on it, but OH's Brother is currently in Qatar. . .
We were asked if we wanted something from the Middle East - apart from Oil and Gold I wasn't sure what to ask for.
However OH was too late saying no - it has been bought, whatever it is!

MIL2B also describes her gift as "in hand" Worrying from the woman who has purchsed me (and this is not the whole list. . .)

• cat shaped pegs (lived in flat with no garden and a tumble dryer)
• brown fishnet tights, size small (had been diagnosed with hyopthyroidism and was size of a house, and I NEVER wear tights)

Still BZ moment is currently with friend from Uni.

Being tight over coming to wedding and wants to stay with me the night before the wedding - NO! Have now told her no twice, and she has booked a hotel (its "not cheap", apparently, it's a travelodge!).
She has also suggested twice that we meet for coffee on the morning of the wedding, as she would just "hanging around" (because there isn't much to do or see in London!).
Hmmm, I may be busy, and she can't ever get round London by herself so would need me to pick her up etc. . .

It has p*ssed me off so much I am tempted to say if it is that much effort she doesn't need to come! I organised the hen party mainly for her and 2 other friends who wouldn't know anyone at the wedding. . . some people appreciate nothing.

Can't you give her a job to do on the morning? Arranging some flowers or setting out chairs or ask her to find you something really obscure that you just have to have on the day? Keep her out of your hair at least!!:rotfl:

Good idea, but that would mean about 10 texts and calls an hour as she gets lost/can't follow simple instructions (couldnt exit tube station correctly, and that is the third time I have met her there, only has 3 exits, all signed)!

The one thing this has taught me is which friends can be relied upon and which can't - they are all still friends, but some are a bit muppety when left to own devices!

Maybe I could ask her to get photos of all the major London landmarks with a newspaper with the wedding date on it in the photo. That would keep her running around London for a while!

:rotfl::rotfl: My personal fav is a solid metal (note, NOT silver) chain with a 100% glass F on it, and she knows my severe allergy to metal :cool:

LOving this thread ive been a bit of a bz for many yrs now as we kept planning to get married then it got pushed to one side ie. getting preg lol we;re meant to be bookin next week and i have already got a huge folderwith all the details in-cake/dress/flowers/favos/centrepieces etc etc my bz confession is:

• have told oh to NOT drink the morning if hes tipsy/drunk i will walk out-doesnt take him much to show his drunk side
• really dont want his uncle coming as he caused a huge roq at dds christening havent spoken since-called me fat and thought was ok! doest know ds is christened MIL2B has told him hes not being christened HAHA wait till i spill that one!
• MIL2B pulls her face everytime we mention 'marriage' as it means she has to find someone to look after her 15 animals
• MIL2B will prob not stay as she will ahve to get home to ^^
• MIL2B smells bad oh always tries to sneakily spray her when shes here as she stinks of cats and its embarassing for me as my dad is a complete clenliness freak
• My sister is already annoying me as she will not choose a dress in the right colour(hot pink and white) she wanted a lemon dress
• she then had the cheek to go mad when i told her the date (our 7 yr anni) as shes hoping to be preg!
• do not want oh to drink as like i mentioned after a couple drinks he comepletly changes! and not a good way
• that he will end up in bed before the reception-in the gap im hoping to have to refresh he said hes going to bed and i know he WILL and then will not wake/have cheek to ask why im in a mood!
• that i want everyone to turn up as i also dont have any friends anymore and i used to be popular and would hate to be no one there at night
• as im hoping to spend more on entertainment at night then anything else !!

sorry only had one and then started typing and couldnt stop haha:rotfl:

I'm a bridezilla because...

*My MIL2B and bridesmaid (SIL2B) are taking over with regards to the bridesmaids dresses and are going for the colour THEY want and the material THEY want. It's our wedding, not theirs. We want to mention it to them that it's OUR wedding but FIL2B says not to rock the boat! I also have another bridesmaid to think about. No one is even consulting with us and it's our wedding!

*MIL2B was in charge of invitations. She's done some and we've already sent off some and then she decided she's not doing it anymore! I'm not really creative in that way so OH is going to have to take over. This is why I don't reply on people because they usually let me down halfway through.

*SIL2B (bridesmaid) is being a !!!!! about me behind my back and I'm fed up of her bratty and insolent behaviour towards me. I'm not sure I want someone who is a !!!!! to me to be a bridesmaid to be honest but if I fire her then everyone will be up in arms.

SIL2B only ended up being a bridesmaid because MIL2B almost insisted on it like it's a fact of life and because I wanted to be nice. I'm starting to change my mind now...!

My other BM if one of my best friends and is fantastic!

see, i am lucky as my three children will be my little maids. my best mate is my cbm although i do have some concerns due to stuff going on in her personal life as to whether or not she will still be doing it but she is paying for her dress (that i had commissioned) and is excited about her second outfit (for evening) that she is having made.

I am getting a bit BZ over stuff though. My mother keeps pulling a sour face when i mention weddings and then realised i hadn't put postcode in invites (although it has maps.) I did mention its on our website and that as people will be using the wedding bus (or SHOULD be) they won't NEED the postcode.

OOOOOoooo 2 of my bridesmaid took it upon themsleves to go bridesmaid shopping and try the two dresses on that i liked without me THEN declared that they didn't like them and that they had seen a lovely dress which was awful!!!! I hated it!!

Then last night my OH decided he wants a marquee for the reception because his dad had seen one at a local pub. I am totally hacked off because we had all agreed that we weren't having one because it would be to much work, and now he wants one!!!! and i'm so angry because his dad is whispering in his ear about something we can't afford!!
