I'm not a bridezilla myself, or even a fianceezilla - I guess you can call me a happy girlfriendzilla (only been with my OH since February) - but over the last 2 days I've read this thread from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good luck to all of you still due to get married and I hope you enjoy your special day.

Good afternoon everyone.

My OH and I have been together for 13 years and have finally decided to get married (Flat, house, job issues etc before now).

We talked for a while and decided our Honeymoon was by far the most important thing to us as we really enjoy our exotic holidays each year. So, I got quotes with various venues to see how manageable it all was for the wedding bit only to find that no-one in our family really cared that much about it all - 'oh, great' sort of comments when we told them. So, we've decided forget 'em.

I'm a teacher so off throughut August anyway, he's booked 3weeks off and we've decided to do it alone in 2013. We're thinking of starting in Barbados and geting married there, then flying to another island or two - Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua somewhere like that.

My bridezilla moment hasn't arrived just yet, but it will when we tell everyone we're doing it solo, far away from here. You can bet your life everyone will suddenly have more to say about it - and no, it's not sad that our families won't be there cos y'know what, it's not about them

After reading your comments ladies, it's made me realise that what we're doing is exactly right for us. But, had I have had it here my bridzilla thoughts would have been as follow:
1. No kids, under 10. None. No not even yours.
2. No-one is to wear white or anything too tacky/cheap/clubbish
3. You will sit where I put you and be glad you're even invited
4. You will not drink too much or I will remove the wine from you table
5. You will not complain about my food; I'm vegetarian and still had the decency to provide predominantly meat and fish. Like them.
6. No, this is not a work's night out. People from work are invited because they're our friends, if you're not invited you're a colleague. Not the same.

Im sure there are millions more I could think about, but I'm glad I dont have to. Thanks everyone for making me more confident about our deciion now :beer:

Hi all i am rather calm,suprisingly with just under 2 months to go.i wouldnt say this was bridezilla as such more of a worry i have.My brother is a lovely person.....when sober.He started a fight on my BIL a few years back at my daughters christening then he started a row with our mother at our grandads funeral last year.its really stressing me that he may kick off at the wedding.ive asked my BIL and Best friend (male) to just keep an eye out throughout the day,more so as the day progresses as he will have been there since 11.30 in the morning when it all kicks off.i just dont want anything to go wrong but my brother has a habit of being a bit mouthy and causing trouble.im going to approach my brother about my worries but i know what response i will get.Apart from that little niggle im rather very calm at the moment.

I'm becoming a bit bridezilla about checking our wedding list to see if anyone has bought anything else!

Help! Is it unreasonable to expect my sister to wear the bridesmaid dress I've chosen without complaint?
I had thrown around some ideas, including buying the twist dresses, letting them all pick a dress but in the same colour etc. but when shopping with my mum, saw a lovely dress from Coast that I ended up buying. My other two BMs are happy to wear it but my sister is throwing a fit saying it doesn't suit her, (it looks lovely) its old fashioned (!!!) etc. She wanted the twist dress apparently, although when I asked her about those all she said was 'I'll have to try it on', not very enthusiastic at all! She's on at my mum to order a twist dress so she can try it, nevermind that I prefer them to wear a proper dress and the twist idea was a last resort compromise!

I have a feeling she is being difficult because she feels she's lost control. How dare I go ahead and chose the BM dress! I know she probably wouldn't have chosen it herself, but it's not like I'm asking her to wear a bin bag! When we were in the shop I really tried to think if it would suit them all and whether they would like it and I really thought it would and they would!!

So help! What should I do? Stick to my guns? Or give in and have to buy 3 new dresses because she doesnt like this one? Xx

Nope! when one agrees to be a BM, then you agree to wear anything you're bought in my view (unless it doesn't fit correctly)

Stick to your guns, express yourself politely but simply & if she doesn't like it then of course she doesn't have to be a BM does she?

I am getting a bit BZ-ish at my disability - had a rough couple of weeks with the naughty leg being a bit more bad than usual etc & having to rest it up when I want to do stuff. I got cellutlitis in it again last week so the GP told me to get off me feet.

Is it bad of me to wish that family would offer to do more to help me with the preparations or practical chores rather than me helping them out with things like IT/online ordering/babysitting?) It's more the fact that everyone works and I guess that as I don't (can't) any more they think I have endless leisure hours?

I don't, it takes me twice or three times as long to do many simple things and doing 2 hours of housework involves adding in another 1hr in total of leg-up rests and spine stretching sit downs during, so it takes me 3 hours to get 45mins-1hr of 'normal persons's' jobs done - but it doesn't seem to sink in for some reason.

Also the weather!! I *need* it to be fine & dry on 2nd August - our indoor venue will only hold about half the anticipated guests unless everyone breathes in!!

Grrrrrr Rant etc etc

I really hope you feel better soon joolz, it sounds very frustrating!

I'm having a bridezilla day so thought I would come and confess!

We agreed to get married about six weeks ago and have had the ceremony, photographer and cars booked for two weeks already but I am still not officially engaged and nor do I have a ring to wear:(!

I know in the grand scheme of things neither really matters as we ARE getting married but the other half said we would announce it when I had a ring, despite family and close friends knowing anyway, and I thought it might happen either on our fourth anniversary (which is today and so far - nothing) or maybe on holiday (we leave on Sunday)..... BUT I dont think he has bought me a ring as he normally buys significant purchases on his credit card and ive had it in my purse for the past few weeks!

Like I said, I know it doesn't really matter but it would be lovely!
