Ok, so apparently I don't feel like working today! (I'm sure you can't tell the difference with the days I actually DO get some work done!) So, I posted the following "confession" on goingbridal.com (not a spam or an endorsement, just so you know why I'm posting this). Figured I'd admit my biggest bridezilla secret, and get the ball rolling if any of you have any bridezilla moments you need to get off your chest but were afraid to admit!
I'm obsessed with looking at my ring. I catch myself staring at it constantly--especially when I'm driving and the light catches in it and it sparkles. (One of these days I'll probably get into an accident because I'm too busy admiring it to keep my eyes on the road!) And when I wash my hands, I make sure I wipe off any water marks--not to mention fingerprints, throughout the day. When I'm in meetings at work, I'll keep my hands on the table and gesture a lot so people will notice it. And I clean it before going out or seeing friends just to make sure it's sparkly. I've been engaged for 6 months. I thought the novelty would wear off...apparently not... Mind you, I've been married before. I never looked at my other ring this much in the 8 years total I wore that one. I just think this is the most beautiful ring EVER! Of course, it pales in comparison to the commitment it respresents with my incredible FH. So I feel guilty. Something like worshipping a false idol? What's important is what it represents, but, damn, I can't help but admiring it and showing it off!

I think my only bridezilla moment(s) was dealing with David's Bridal - and believe me, it was justified. I wanted to blow up their building. Hate them Hate them Hate them.

I had a definated bridezilla moment dealing with the preacher lady at the church where we got married. She wanted everything to go her way and coordinate the entire ceremony, but she wasn't even officiating!!! My uncle was! We had a moment during rehearsal when she wanted my scripture reading at a certian place and I didn't want it there, so I just glared at her then politely asked if it HAD to go there, was it a written rule or something, because I didn't want it there. I guess it pi$$ed her off cause once my uncle took over I never saw her again!! She just left the rehearsal, didn't even tell me or Josh, didn't come to the dinner (which she was invited to) and didn't even show at the wedding and she was supposed to do the greeting and give an opening prayer!! What a punk!
*BTW- we had anticipated problems with this woman! When I went to talk to her about using the church she made me wait for 20 mins in another room so she could finish gossiping with the church secretary! LOL I guess you could say I had prepared myself for a small confrontation or conflict!

I haven't had any bridezilla moments yet (crossing my fingers) but I anticipate some in the future if the guest list continues to be a pain. I'm not setting out to be a bridezilla...but there are things I won't back down about and so be it. :-) I guess you could say I'm just plain stubborn.

I don't think that I had any bridezilla moments, but that leads to the question... Do bridezilla's know that they are being so?

Hmmm... Interesting question. I think at the very least they'd have OTHER people telling them they are--which maybe a true woman suffering bridezilla insanity would vehemently deny. Have you ever seen the show Bridezillas on WE? Those women are proud to be bridezillas. So I think SOME know it--but they don't care because they think they're *entitled* to all that attention. It's not like you discovered the cure for cancer, you're just getting married!! Get over yourself!!! But I think it's pretty obvious we don't have any bridezillas here.

The only one I can think of now is regarding the bridesmaid dress color. Pee green (think 70's!) is my favorite color so it was my obvious choice. Well, when my sister saw the fabric she freaked out, was all "I'm NOT wearing that color!" ugh , I was so mad! I had to remind her that I wore the dress she chose for her wedding a year earlier. That shut her up and she ended up liking the dresses in the end.

I only had two bridezilla moments- one at David's Bridal when they ordered me the wrong dress and then tried to convince me that it was the one I "meant" to order.
then another during pics in between the ceremony and reception b/c all of maids took of their shoes. LOL how petty!

0806, I like how David's Bridal was trying to convince you they read your mind! Oh, I MEANT to order this one, gee, thanks for reading my subconcious! So you need to be a psychic to be a sales clerk there...or psycho, depending whom you ask, based on the DB horror stories I've heard!

Speaking of bridezillas - I have been called one. However, I completely object. Just because I am organized and have everything the way I want it doesn't constitute me as a bridezilla!

I've shared my own 'zilla moment before but I'll do it again for the newbies. The only one I had (AFAIK) was when meeting with the florist and she said we had to substitute some of the flowers I wanted for my bouquet. Mind you, it was my fault b/c I hired her late and she didn't have enough time to special-order what I'd planned on. She'd tried, to no avail. But I almost pulled the order, it took me a few hours to come to my senses and, thankfully, she didn't drop me as a customer & did a great job finding substitute flowers to achieve the look I wanted. Honestly, right now I couldn't *tell* you what the big deal was...

I haven't had a bridezilla moment yet. I guess snooping on the inet about my ring is kinda bridezilla like. ...sorta. I'm sure I'll have my moment though.
