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

We saw his parents for the first time since the proposal today. FMIL seems to think she is now the wedding expert since his sister got married a few years ago. She tells him that he needs a new suit but in the same breath I must go to Oxfam for my bridesmaids dresses, that his Grandma will need a room to go rest in (my dad is disabled...this is going to be a given plus we are looking at a venue that has guest accommodation on site which would do for this). I just wanted to scream "it's MY wedding" and we've not even set a date yet!

loobylaa

I'm a bridezilla and I'm not afraid to admit it!!!
Getting married this sat and so many things have driven me to insanity
1- children, love them but there's more children than adults coming,I'd welcome night off from mine if opportunity came up..although not at our wedding I'm not that mean
2- my mum she's shown no interest at all over past year and now over past 2 weeks wants to comment on everything and doesn't agree with any of it plus she hasn't got her outfit yet arrrrrgggghhh
3- so called friends that have known date for over a year and then make other plans grrrrrrr
4- could go on forever with list but ill leave it at the one that's really annoying me at mo The weather! It's been gorgeous for a few months so why in the run up to big day are we having torrential rain and thunder storms Long dress with train and puddles don't mix
Lol I feel a little better now

Know how you feel ska lover, I wouldn't expect people to invite my OH if they didn't know him even though we have been together for years!

No one who we have invited only knows us either...otherwise I may be willing to comprise a little. Those who have partners we don't know, we have said their partners are welcome in the evening.

I don't want to have to say to people you can't be in the photos because I don't know who you are!

I think people think you can just magic up some spare food/money from somewhere for people you don't know! My parents asked if my dads cousin could come, I don't know them (I met them once about 5 years ago!) so said if they want them to come they have to pay for them! (They aren't paying for it, we are paying for most of it and my OH's parents are giving us some)

Less than a month to go before the day invite RSVPs are due back. So far 32 out of 110 and I'm starting to get the rage haha. They can choose from email, post or facebook to reply fgs; the problem is a lot of immediate family just say "They know we're coming, we don't need to send anything".

Yes, but I don't know whether you're joining us for breakfast the next day, whether you're staying at a hotel and would like to get the bus that's being put on; and would you like that bus back the next day. Oh, and whether you're allergic to owt.

Mom got quite irate yesterday when I mentioned my cousin's family hadn't replied yet, but when the cousin got married we had "RSVP RSVP!" pretty much drummed into us!

And.....breathe!!!

I wouldn't have minded the person who asked to invite her own guests is a bridesmaid and her partner is already an invited guest. She wanted to invite another couple of friends with her..complete strangers to me. I'm still amazed that she thought it was acceptable to even ask

That's the thing, the cheek of being expected to pay for complete strangers. arghhh!

Wow. That is very cheeky! Think I would be to shocked to say anything if someone asked that!!

We asked my DH's Granny to do our wedding cake for our Scottish wedding. She is a spectacular baker, and has done the cakes for all the other family weddings. She even had an antique cake stand which had been used at three generations of the family weddings. The blue colour of it matched my family's tartan beautifully. I commissioned a cake topper with the family tartan ribbon, and had it sent to her. She arrived early to the reception and set it up, and the photographer was so impressed by it that he set up a screen and photographed it.

But I was in Bridezilla mode. I looked at that cake, and do you know what I saw?

She'd put the wrong tartan ribbon around the beautiful cake :eek:

It took every ounce of composure not to go over and remove this ribbon from the cake. OH sensed my annoyance and told me to leave it - it was only slightly different to my family's tartan, and bless her, she'd gone out and sourced a tartan ribbon specially to finish it off. She didn't have to do that. Looking back now, two weeks later, I am touched by how hard she must have worked. However, I am still tempted to Photoshop that ribbon in my wedding photos :rotfl:

The tartan ribbon is something my OH wouldnt even notice and photoshopping it is totally something I would do!!

Todays Bridezilla moment is against myself. Why have I booked a date during Edinburgh Festival?!?! Hotels/Hostels are stupidly expensive

Actually I had a bridezilla moment when I had a strop over a couple of my very good friends saying that can't come because they are going to a music festival.... they happen every year, I'm getting married once!!!

I thought i was getting married once too, i'm onto my third wedding in December....

I think I want to change the entire reception!! Like the colours but want a different venue and something more special than what we had decided, even though we cant really afford it and the venue we had decided is free
