TIL that a Bridezilla...

That

The everyone fled to cover except the preacher, the groom and the bride. She was instantly soaked, her beautiful long flowing lacy dress gained 40 lbs, her hair was hanging in her face and her make-up was running down her face. She ignored everything but her goal, kicked her skirts out of the way and slogged up the path to get married.

She was wearing towels in the wedding pictures but it was pretty obvious that she cared nothing about that. All she cared about was being joined to her adoring husband.

That is the type of woman all us single men want to marry.

And there was me thinking I'd heard everything when one woman, who was due to get married at the church in my village, asked my mother (who was church warden at the time) to stop people putting flowers on their relatives' graves that weekend, in case the colours didn't go with her scheme.

That's an easy one to accommodate. Just have the bride provide flowers in her colours for all of the graves. Problem solved.

I strongly suspect that marriage will last longer and do better than those of the "it's all about ME" Bridezillas who throw massive tantrums about trivia and steamroll right over any one else's opinions/wishes, even the groom's.

I like how you think.

I made historic garb for an attendant participating in a wedding. The wedding was to be held at one of those living history sites. The bride was surprised and dismayed to learn after booking that the site was not going to be closed to visitors during her wedding. In fact, the animals weren't even going to be tied up or corralled.

Attendant confided that the date on the calendar had noted "____'s and ____'s wedding," but 'day of doom' had been scribbled over it, owing to Bride finding a new crisis to fret about on a regular basis.

Oh it was solved even easier than that. By the 5'2" of hardcore that is my mother telling the woman that her wedding would last a couple of hours at most, but the folks in the graves were there for eternity. Accompanied by a 'Mom' look that can freeze soup in cans.

My brother married a bridezilla, the marriage lasted roughly 9 months. Rob and I went to a justice of the peace wearing jeans and tshirts, had to borrow a ring to use in the ceremony [yup, we both used it for the ring part then gave it back] and have been married since 1991 ... he spent $30 000 and we spent $150 including license, bloodwork and justice of the peace. Our honeymoon was the long weekend of the Kingdom of Atlantia Spring Coronation [um, Bear Mountain National Park that year? Can't remember offhand the campground. It was like a Boy Scout camp or something, chow hall, primitve privies, shared showers and all. Absolute fun =)]

The groom and preacher were in their places and the bride was walking the garden path to them when the sky opened.

OK, I've just gone all gooshy.

I ran into a story on Reddit where a Bridezilla who just showed up at the local zoo in full regalia to have her wedding, and then demanded that the zoo get rid of the crashers—you know, the paying customers visiting the zoo.

Ah-ha! I found it!

Also reminds me of a Reddit story about a girl who "had to quit her job" because "wedding planning takes so much time" and was fighting with her fiancé because he wouldn't get a second job to pay for the really expensive wedding...

For the past few years, I've been saying that, if Hell freezes over and I finally get married, we'll probably just wear our clean pajamas at the home.

As a side note to the non-Bridezilla story, Some wedding groups would leave a mess, ignore the staff, take all of the food (their right, its their food) and then complain that they were billed for leaving a mess.

NB's wedding party cleaned up everything, there wasn't even a scrap of tissue on the lady's room floor when they were done and the groom's father tipped everyone he could see and gave me an extra 20 because it was my safety pins holding the bride's towels together.

They also asked and then left all of the food for us because we wanted it. (It was made very clear that if we didn't want it, they would deal with it.)

Nothing but joy, happiness and consideration on their special day. It was a pleasure to be there and I hope they are always as happy as they were that day.

Sounds like the kind of family that are a joy to work for in a professional setting. They're the kind of people that staff in shops, restaurants, etc. will bend over backwards for since they know it will be repaid in kind.

"Clean pajamas"? Well La Dee Da! Ain't we fancy Lord & Lady Jane!
