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

Why do people complain when the rooms have to be released from our allocation to general when they've had 4 months to book a room? £25 is not going to break a bank to put a deposit down on your room! NOW you complain as there are no rooms? You knew they were on hold for our wedding for 4 months!

I almost sent a letter to the Foresty Commission telling them how they have ruined my hen-night plans. We were going to do one of those go-ape rope trails in the afternoon, then go for coffee and cakes at the nearby cafe which I love. They have decided to let the lease to a large catering company whose other cafe nearby I have been in is bland and boring, rather than the friendly homemade style it is now.

I'm going to sweet talk the local farm who does very small scale tea and cakes to see if they will cater for us all instead.


Luckily we aren't involved in sorting hotel rooms, but I've been there with holidays, some people just seem to miss the point of paying a deposit.

and i've yet to have a friendzilla, we might be heading to florist-zilla though.

If OH's younger son does not get his act together then his girlfriend will not be invited to the daytime do!! He has been going out with her for 8 months and his dad still has not met her.
I met her by chance yesterday and even though he literally has his own house not two minutes walk around the corner he has not brought her round.
We are giving up on dropping hints and saying it's time we met her so she will be relegated to an evening guest along with other people who are plus ones who we have not met and he has until the invites go out which is in the next couple of weeks!!
All the excuses of she's tired, she is shy, you'll tease her etc etc will not be accepted as excuses anymore!!
You will know this when her name is on evening invite and not a day time one because by then it will be too late!!

Rant over!!

and breathe.............

With 10 days to go my bridesmaid hasn't dieted enough to get in her dress... Fine if you had to lose weight to get into it in the first place but you never, i bought 2 sizes bigger! Grrrr...

Yes Guest X is sitting on a table where he knows no-one - no i will not reorganise 5 tables just to get him sitting next to someone he does know.

If you want a hairdresser book it your god damn self cos i am not booking it and cancelling it again.

No your mother can't come and take pictures when i'm having my first look photos, she isn't even invited to the wedding.

No i am not having a spray tan just because you are. Yes i will have some tan lines and No i am not going on a sunbed.

No i am not wearing a veil because it will spoil my dress

And yes, if the MIL p***es me off one more time i won't visit her when we are married.

Why do people ignore everything about the wedding until 10 days before then expect there opinion to be heard! I've asked several times before so no your opinion is no longer needed!

I must say it's not very nice. I wouldn't want to attend a wedding and sit somewhere where I don't know anyone. It's your job as a hostess to sit everyone in such a way that they feel comfortable. Sorry!

Yes but the guy is quite a friendly guy, is with friends that have similar personalities and is sitting on the next table from people he knows! Literally for the sake of a meal he can sit on his own. He's going to be on his own for what - an hour! Hardly worth whingeing about!

O no thats not good, I can understand your stress - what is she going to do?

All the best

Got another fitting tonight but she doesn't think she's lost weight. No idea what to do if she doesn't fit in it. I've got a size 10 version of the dress which we might be able to cut and fit a panel in but its funny material so it depends on dressmaker...

My guests will be seating with people they do not know and that is delibrate! The guest list is 70/30 in my favour. It's not only an inter cultural wedding/ceremony, it's also inter racial.

How else will the "family" get to know each other?

Wow we've all been very well behaved lately haven't we! Or should that be, family and guests have been well behaved!
Well I'll kick us back off - We had to choose our menu during the week and the MIL2B is complaining about the starter (which we think sounds so yummy). How bridezilla is it to say "well feel free to not eat it"? It's not like they'll go hungry since there's a big main, dessert AND cake and then an evening buffet.

Also if my mum rolls her eyes one more time when I mention our adults only bouncy castle....grr.

My centrepiece idea has fallen through too so now I have to come up with something else to do. I can feel a trip to Ikea coming on!
