    Because it's all good exposure for her.

    I am A Bridezilla because.....

    My sister is driving me CRAZY!!!! One of my bridemaids is travelling (still! she left 4 days after we got engaged so I suppose I can let her off) so we can't look at bridesmaid dresses til she's back, however, darling sister (:mad:) keeps asking me about dresses and thinks she's found 'her' dress! We haven't looked yet! ARGH!!!!
  • I am a BZ,

    There has been a mistake with prices on the gift list. 2 candlebras wrongly priced at £30 instead of £100 (they were my 1 extravagance. . .).

    Gift list opened today and I have bought them, and got a £15 voucher off for next shop as well, so only £45 for both instead of £200!
    Give yourself a Chistmas bonus £14 a week!
    Total so far £28
  • My word!

    I'm beginning to plan for my (second) wedding and I am actually quite shocked by some comments on this thread.

    Take a deep breath.... and remember why you are getting married. It's because you love this person so much that you cannot imagine not being with them for the next 50 years or more. Relax.

    Anything else is pretty irrelevant, don't you feel?

    Colour schemes, mum's hat, bridesmaids glasses(!), partners invites, reception themes etc etc, all this is just additional dressing and paraphernalia.

    I did the big(ish) full white wedding and the extent of your trimmings will guarantee you nothing but stress - please remember the person you want to be with and your relationship with them is all that counts.

    Who cares if the flowers are slightly the wrong shade of pink? If the photos show your uncle Trev looking pishhed? If your bridesmaid trips over your train and grazes her knee? It will NOT ruin your life for evermore - but getting so stressed and riled that you become a different person and possibly alienate your fiance, your family and friends could do just that.

    I've been seriously ill in the years between my first marriage and my upcoming second (which we might get around to next year!) and the one thing I've learnt is that material stuff (the clothes, flowers etc) is just tat in the end. The important things are the people around you and the love you share and that's all that is of any worrh.

    Here endeth Aunty Jools's sermon - please let the BZ ranting resume. :)

    How can you say all that when you've done it yourself?

    If you hadn't split with your husband, you wouldn't say what you had, so that is really unfair.

    Because in the end it is *the relationship* and the vows of marriage and not the wedding trimmings that count. I held the view when I got married and had to rein in certain excesses & expectations from others then.

    Of course if I was still married to my first husband (and it wasn't a mistake, I love him dearly, but after a long time trying certain issues led to an amicable parting) I might not be posting in here specifically but I'd still be telling you the same thing if I could!

    All I'm advising is that the *focus* of your wedding day should be the lovely person you want to be with for ever, and sharing that day with the people you hold dear. Shades of violet or designs of invites, or the differences between tablecloths actually becaome amazingly unimportant 5,10,20 (god willing) 50 years after the event.

    Have a happy wedding day everyone :)
