Bridezillas Gone Bad

June 12, 2006

Note to all of the Bridezillas in the world:  Your bridezilla behavior is not cute! 

I watched the latest episode of Bridezilla on the WE channel and I was completely horrified.  One of the bridezillas was a mean, spoiled brat to her fiance and I’m shocked that he didn’t end the engagement right then and there.  Just because some sap puts a ring on your finger does not mean that you get to be a nasty, little woman.

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I am not a fan of bridezillas or groomzillas.  Bad behavior is bad behavior and should not be tolerated.  An engagement ring does not give someone a free pass.

The bridezilla mentality is especially damaging and can harpoon a marriage before it even begins.  Planning a wedding is unbelievably stressful - no doubt about that.  But, you are also preparing for a marriage that will have its ups and downs.  A marriage is a lifelong commitment that takes a lot of hard work and the engagement period is the perfect time to gear up for that.

So, on last night’s episode I was shocked to see how nasty one of the brides was toward her groom-to-be, wedding vendors, friends and anyone else that got in her way.  What is going on in this woman’s mind?  I’m sure she’s seen the show by now, so was she as taken aback by her antics as I was?  Did she just have a temporary lapse of sanity?

Here’s the problem.  When bridezillas or groomzillas act out toward the people around them, that behavior will come back to bite them in the end.  Even though people may take it and pretend that everything is fine with the relationship, they will always remember how the ‘zilla treated them during the engagement.  They may not say anything in the beginning, but it will come out in different passive aggressive ways.

So, my suggestion to all of you budding bridezillas and groomzillas - stop it.  Everything will work out and your wedding will be beautiful.  Don’t destroy your relationships with that deadly bridezilla poison.  Some relationships may not recover once the wedding is over.

Take care!
