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

maggie111

Someone gave an RSVP no and said

"It's a shame I'm not going, would love to have seen how overboard Maggie got with the wedding"

RAAARRRWWWW

Now my bridezilla-ness wants to drag him to the wedding to shove our amazing awesome over-the-top wedding in his face!!!!!

(No he didn't say that to me, he said that in an email to my OH who forwarded it on to me and doesn't get why I'm cross!)

feeling calmer now but at the weekend i had a bridzilla(ish) moment not actually in relation to the wedding but on how my OH's mum and dad were treating him and making him feel like s***e.

they were over for a visit and really at one point i was ready to stomp over their hotel room and tell them to stop acting like spoilt children and did they know how utterly horrible their son was feeling just cause they couldn't bloody well grow up (okay getting a bit worked up again)

i have no problems with my in-laws normally except how they seem to take their son for granted and make him feel like he's done something wrong.

we did finally get it all sorted but still if they pull any of that crap on the run up or on the day of the wedding i'll personally kick their asses myself :mad::mad::mad:

rant about to begin (you have been warned)

last week was my daughters 1st birthday and my SIL (who is 16) couldnt even be bothered to come to her party on time and then when she showed it was with 2 of her friends who then wanted to eat all the food and cake and everything and drink like me and my OH were (unfortunately no where near enough!!!!!) The party was at her house (OHs mums) so she went out with her friends instead of being there

we were supposed to have a planning meeting 2morrow (me and the MOH and BMs) but now she is refusing to talk to me as i have asked her for an apology for her behaviour that she doesnt think that she should have to give

i cant get rid of her as a BM but if she can behave like that for her neices 1st bday how can i trust her to help me with the weddingy stuff no matter how small it is

Have tried talking to her but she will not speak to me until i tell her that her behaviour that day was fine and i am not willing to do that

ARGGGGHHHHHHHHH

my MOH (my lil sister) is telling me to just do what she wants but i know that if i give in on this then she will just expect me to give in on everything which i dont want to do esp with the wedding ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

any advice???

Peorsonally I would stand firm! I would be too worried she would do somwething else stupid! But then I am Bride-zilla - everything I do involves being bridezilla! No one can do it like I can!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

There is still a mistake in them! Going to buy anyone that spots it a drink! The times are all in 24hr apart from last orders which is in 12hr! :mad:

Really wish I had done it myself - OH was the brunt of my bridezilla! Why did he not check it properly - can i not pass him anything to do? Aargh x

LOL, your woes are making me laugh because the same happened to me! I printed off my invites about 6 times, I even got so far as cutting one batch to size and realising once I'd done it all that there was a huuuuuuge mistake so had to go back and do it all again! How annoying! There's still a mistake in the ones that went out (section of pink text...with a blue full stop!) but I declared that it was a game, spot the odd dot out!

Ha ha! Made me laugh! Sorry. I bet not one person mentions a blue full stop! But, I too read everything umpteen times looking for spelling mistakes, consistency with dates and times and things like that.

So I ordered some postcards from Vistaprint as RSVPs. We have our names and the date, time and venue on the glossy front, and then all the other gumph about will/won't be attending, dietary requirements etc on the other side (nearly said back side then!:rotfl:).

I also put please return this card to 'our address' or email us at ***.

I was very happy with them, and pleased with with my handiwork, until OH suggested someone might actually try to use it as a postcard, stick a stamp on the front and write our address in between the other details and post it back to us!!!

I flipped! 'No, don't say that to me!!! Don't even suggest it!' Totally Bridezilla! Surely no numpty would actually do that and advertise to every postie around that the house would be empty, our email addresses and mobile numbers etc etc!

Am so flipping annoyed that I didn't just type 3 extra words - in an envelope!

That was Thursday and am still fuming with myself! Oh and of course then there was Watchdog the other night with the story about invites not being delivered because they were deemed too heavy or too wide by the sorting office at the delivery end, despite them having been OK'ed at the posting end! :eek:

I was stood in front of the TV shouting 'I don't want to hear this!' because I was tying ribbons around my invites at that very moment!! GRrrrrrr!!!!!!

BTW - this post has not been proofread at all and I have had a glass of wine! :cool:

More wine please!

I think you cannot proof read enough, my guests were nearly offered a lion of lamb - that didn't show on the spell check either!!!

Have you planned a suprise visit after the wedding to show him the scrapbook of ideas, notepads and photo album, wearing your dress of course!!

What does her mum have to say about her behaviour? Maybe she could have a word and tell her that if she doesn't buck up her ideas she will be dropped?

Other than that, I would find dresses in a style that suits every other BM but not her..... and in a colour that will make her look ill..... and ask her to pay for it
