I am a Bridezilla and my confession is...

1) I don't want anyone else to wear white! Can I tell them not to be in the pictures?

2) I don't want anyone with silly orange fake tans! Can I tel them not to be in the pictures? LOL

3) I don't want the in laws drinking too much and embarrassing themselves.

4) I don't want guests dressed as though they're about to go clubbing!

5) I don't see a problem with any of my demands :P

aaaaaaaaand breathe!

Haha I love this! I don't want anyone in white or purple (our colour) else they will look like a bridesmaid. And I have my bridesmaids! And the orange tan thing - too right! I don't want anyone drinking a ridiculous amount. I get that everyone wants a drink and a good time (although me and my husband to be have decided we are being very sensible) but I don't want anybody being sick, or making a complete idiot of themselves!

I definately agree with one and two! I went to a wedding recently and there were a couple of guests in ivory/white dresses....I was quite shocked lol.

Fake tan for me is a no no. I am white white white and proud. People keep asking me if I am going to have a tan!!! Why...I have never had a tan in my life...I would so regret in when I looked back at my photos.:eek:

My name is Zoe, and I'm a bit of a Bridezilla lol

We get married in 4 weeks...still have no songs because OH won't make a decision...

I want my mum to stop complaining.
I want my bridesmaids to stop trying to look so pretty, ( i want them to look icky, but nice enough as to not ruin the pics)
I want people to stop telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing/having/booking.

I may have more later...Thanks for giving me somewhere to vent lol :-D

Minerva, I feel the same as you - I've organised the wedding, I've organised the meal and then entertainment for the evening, I'll quite happily give out recommendations of hotels for those who are from out of town. But please dont ask me to book it, I'm under enough stress already without wondering if I've booked X and Y guests rooms for them!

Why are people ringing me 2 weeks before the wedding to tell me they're gluten intolerant?!.... I asked for your dietary requirements when you RSVP'd!!

Haha, we had someone who only remembered the DAY BEFORE the wedding that they're a veggie :wall:

I was going to give people a list of local hotels when we sent out the invites so they would have some ideas of places to stay, that's not a problem. But I don't think it's even that my mum wants me to book the rooms or try and get a discount for block booking or anything like that - she just wants me to find a place where all the guests can stay together. The only wedding I've been to where that happened was my sister's, and that was mainly because the whole day was in the hotel we all stayed in, which was in quite a remote part of Cornwall, and if we were somewhere like that I'd be fine about finding somewhere for everyone to stay. But we're getting married in a reasonably small town with tons of hotels in walking distance of the venue, so I don't see what the problem is - it's nice to all be together, yes, but equally other than maybe having to sort out rooms for my grandparents due to needing disabled access there isn't really a need for it. Plus the wedding isn't likely to be for over two years yet so we probably couldn't book a hotel anyway, or if we did it might go bust etc.

It's just a bit frustrating because it feels almost like I'm having to jump through hoops before we can book the venue, and I really wanted to do that before we went away. But oh well.

*miaomiao*

I had the most idiotic email last night from my dad's partner, who doesn't really know me, asking if I could hire my dad a suit to wear because he's too fat for his own. Now, this might sound initially like I'm going OTT, but we aren't hiring suits full stop, my dad lives in another country, and is planning to arrive fresh off the trans-Atlantic plane at 5pm with the wedding the next morning. And they are retired. And well off. And lazy.
Last week they wanted us to book and unbook hotels. Then they asked if we could make them an itinerary for London>!>!

NO!!!!!

I'm getting VERY Bridezilla about our outstanding RSVPs!!

We sent out save the dates in April as the wedding was 6 months away and on a Friday. We sent out the invites in June and a large number of RSVPs are still outstanding and the wedding is in 7 weeks :mad:

We have chased and chased the outstanding replies and to be honest I've been shocked by people. If I received an invite to an event/wedding that required an RSVP I would do just that within a week or two. If the invitee had to chase me for whatever reason I would be embarassed and give them a response immediately - I would not say "I'm hoping to come but cannot confirm" or words to that effect when the invitee repeatedly contacted me :mad:

I don't mind if you can't/don't want to come - just give us a yes or a no so we know what the final numbers are. It's getting a bit too late to send out second invites if you can't make it now so thanks for that as we have paid for a set number!!

I'm also a bit worried that I'm so cross with these people it will show on the day

Haha you will be far too busy being happy and enjoying yourself to be grumpy with people! Although the fact they haven't replied isn't good either. We had a few like this too and in the end (and against what I'd said before) we had to chase them. I don't see why we should have to, but I think some thought I'd presume they were coming.. Well I'd presume they were all coming!! When you have to give final numbers you need to know so you may have to send them a message.

Hi Katie

I hope you're right as it would be awful to be cross with people but they are really starting to get on my wick!

We have chased each person at least 3 times already which is why it's soooo frustrating, hopefully they will reply to the next chase and we can move on!??
