So… what happened
Rising Star
Weirdly targeted question
Hahahaha A1’s response cracked me up
So, honestly…. I think “bridezilla” behavior is a symptom of the absolutely ludicrous culture of the wedding industry. And, it’s also a symptom of… a bride being stuck in the middle of two family dynamics instead of one, when most people would probably feel enormous pressure just with their own family stuff. So, that all being said.. nobody told me I was a bridezilla, and I have to say I tried my best to accommodate peoples concerns and also not make my bridesmaids spend a lot of money, but I will say when I look back that the expectation for people to spend hundreds of dollars to celebrate one day in your life is a huge request. And so, I would be willing to take ownership for the fact that my 24 year old friends all paid for a bridal shower and a bachelorette party and I appreciate that and all but… my then to be husband and his mom were being unreasonable and I was allowing them to be. I didn’t place enough boundaries on them and it definitely bleeder over to impact other people. And I take ownership of being at the center of that stress.
Oh and ps I’m Divorced and think wedding stress is stupid now given the perspective I have. Hahaha
sounds like you’re in a better place now

Saw my new sister in law in a terrible new light leading up to and after her wedding (I was a bridesmaid). I got over it for my brother and when she became mom to my first nephew.
She held a grudge against my mother and vice versa for years after her wedding over nothing.
A fellow bridesmaid isn’t friends with her anymore (never met her child) after being just as annoyed as I was leading up to wedding.
Total bridezilla.
Have heard a lot of one-sided stories from bridesmaids that all emphasize an entitled bride and trying to get a better perspective
Was the bride Kim Kardashian and the bridesmaid Kylie?

After seeing a bunch of drama from friends/family with huge weddings we ignored the family pressure and did it our own way. We had normal bachelor/bachelorette parties with our friends but for the actual wedding, only invited our immediate family (still had a wonderful venue and everything, just not all the people). Still got our wedding in the Times and everything too. It was great and I would never do it any other way.
Went to city hall for the tax breaks. End wedding culture.
