QOTD!!! 6/8

Good Morning everyone!!!! I would say Happy Monday but I literally had to drag myself out of bed this morning... ugh... I am not a morning person and Mondays are always the worst.

I know quite a few of us watched the season premier of Bridezillas last night so I figured I would relate my first question to that...

In all of your planning so far have you had a 'Bridezilla' moment? I think I have had a few litte ones, nothing that would get me on the show by far...

My first one was when I told, ok... maybe demanded, that next summer my sister can't get too tan. I am VERY fair skinned and never get very much color... (Burn, peel, pale repeat) and my sister spends every waking second on the beach every summer and ends up about 1000 shades darker than me... so I told her it will look bad in my pictures if she gets too tan and that she needs to start using sun block so she doesn't ruin them!! My mother then told me I sounded crazy (I happen to disagree!!)

My second and probably much worse Bridezilla moment(s) started when my FMIL started getting on my nerves... from that second on anything FMIL recommended was IMMEDIATELY kicked to the curb. From music (I REFUSE to play the chicken dance at my wedding and for whatever reason FMIL thinks it is a real crowd pleaser), to the garter toss (I wasn't really planning on doing it anyway but now it is DEFINITELY OUT) and I even went as far as telling my officiant that I want NO mention of anything religious in my ceremony basically because FMIL wouldn't give it up over telling me I HAD TO find a priest to marry us, even after explaining to her that religion wasn't important to me or FH and I wanted to the ceremony to have meaning to US... she still wouldn't give it up.

congrats on BOTW!!!

well, i didnt watch bridezillas last night...but so far my only bridezilla moments occur when too much time pass and we havent seen any vendors or made any progress on wedding planning.

this happened about a month before our one year mark. it was the beginning of april and the last thing we booked was the RH/church on valentines day. i started literally freaking out. i thought we would have had sooo much more done by the one year mark, and there we were without photo/video (which is super important to me) or anything else....

so i called FH late one night and i started to freak out. lol.

it all worked out tho, cuz he promised we would do it by mid-month...and we put our butts in gear and did it!!!

i tried a similar method to spur things along for the rest of the vendors. FH said we would have more stuff booked by memorial day...but....now we are in june.....

o well..so far it was really just that one bridezilla moment that comes to mind....but there is still time..lol

I most definately have had bridezilla moments already lol The one that comes to the top of my head is when I started FREAKING out that FH's mother was talking to a DJ that she knows )that dj'ed our eparty) the guy who owns the company somehow got the impression from her that FH and I had decided to book with him (before we even met with him? When I called him 3 months prior and he never returned my call's?) The next day I have this guy calling me telling me he is glad we decided to go with him blah blah blah...I tell him, sorry but you are mistaken you never returned my phone calls so I went looking elsewhere and found another DJ company. WELL Kromp FLIPS on me saying I made the biggest mistake of my wedding planning, I am going with a subpar company, he would have 'taken care' of me cost wise, he has the newest best equipment on LI blah blah blah....DUDE SHUT IT!!!
So after this guy flips on me for his own stupidity, I shoot FMIL an email just saying this is what happened, shawn and I have our wedding plans under control and please stop talking to vendors she know's bc i am getting harrassed for it. Well, FMIL flips a **** on me telling me off and stuff so I send her a nasty one back saying something to the effect of 'if we wanted your help we would have asked for it. we didnt ask, so we dont want it'
And that was the last FH and I spoke to her for 2 months until she got over it...best part, FH lives there and I stay there over the weekends. She wouldnt talk to him for any other reason than to ask for rent...nhadguierhiejrngiluaerhnub

Bridezilla was nuts!! I have never done anything that extreme but .......

My first 'moment' would have to be when my mom told me she was wearing red to my wedding. I flipped out, who wears bright wed to your daughters wedding? Does she want to be the center of attention?? I was told I was being ridiculous lol

My second 'moment' would probably be when one of my bridesmaids told me, ' its a shame you wont stand out as the bride because your bridalparty is soo good looking' .......... I think I had a reason to flip out here !!! I was furious

Ok...FH has said that I was being rude and bridezillaish yesterday when we went to get rings. He picked out what he wanted beforehand and we went to Atias...there are 10 million jewelry places. We wanted to get both of ours at the same place so we could make a deal... I went up to them, scanned the section, and if there were no rings like the one he wanted, I told them. He stayed while they said, 'we can order it...' and all that. I was like, 'No thank you. We want them today.' and moved on to the next booth...perfectly reasonable!

My only real bridezilla moment came when my sister decided to get a tattoo...I said not before my wedding because I don't want them in my pictures. She said I can't tell her how to look...I disagree.

I guess I've had one so far, and it was when we were BM dress shopping. My two sisters and FSIL came looking for BM dresses and when I asked them to go try some on, my oldest sister was like 'I have to try things on today???? But I don't have the right undergarments, blah blah blah.' She's really not happy with her weight right now and refused to come out of the dressing rooms. I told her she didn't have to come out of the dressing room, but she had to try some on. I practically pushed her into the dressing room.

It's funny that you ask this because FSIL was just asking me last night if I'm going to be a bridezilla.....my response was 'I'm really trying not to, but if I need to be, I will.'

Not a huge one yet (I'm sure something will make me go nuts, though), but the one thing super important to FH and I is that our wedding is vegetarian. Not vegan, which I can understand people having some issues with...vegetarian. My parents completely expected that of us, but his mom really had a cow over it. It led to me screaming at her that if she's hellbent on having meat served, then I'll bring my cat over to her house and she can slaughter him because my compassion runs so deep with animals that I cannot separate a cow from a horse from a domesticated cat from a parrot. I view them all in the same light.

She actually started crying about that. Like I said something wrong when all I was doing was explaining to her WHY we can't have meat served as we celebrate the day.

She didn't talk to me for about a month.

It was kind of nice.

I had a few small ones, nothing to get me on the show.
One is when we had the wrong day for the tasting and my FMIL was with us so I was so embarrassed I started crying to get something out of the whole date confusion.
Another when I yelled at my mom that she needs to make sure that I get a shower (very embarrassed about this one).
This one I was a little bit kidding, but kinda meant it when over the weekend when visiting my aunt with FH I said that my wedding is gonna be MY way cause I am THE STAR! I said it in front of FH, his reaction was just a very puzzled look - poor FH :lo:

I think overall I'm probably a mild bridezilla 24/7...my mentality is this is my day so everything is my way!

So far no bridezilla moments...Im pretty laid back though. I dont see myself having any of those, not too soon at least. I want my wedding to be fabulous, but I dont see any reason to go crazy. If I want something done, I just handle it myself. That keeps me un-bridezilla. I feel when other people are involved that causes problems.

The closest Iv'e been to bridezilla was with my mom. Thats b/c she doesnt understand why I need my makeup done or a DOC. But it doesnt really matter b/c me and FH are paying for those anyway, not her.

i dont think so but maybe I have, Im gonna ask my FH later...

Well I guess maybe this was, I dont know...(i always have to be like this with my mom so...)

Anyway, my mother is not paying for any of the wedding, thats fine, I didnt expect her too because I know she just doesnt have the means to but thennnn, she was having me incur extra costs like getting an additional limo and not offering to pay for it at all...I know that seems mild but you have to understand that shes going out of her way to not drive that day...she plans to have a friend follow her the day before and park the car near the rh then have the friend drive her back so she could take the limo on the wedding day! Then she wants to stay in a hotel (yes shes paying for it thank God) the night of the wedding even though the house is literally 10 minutes away...whatever its her money but I think if she can afford to waste money like that, she can help me out a little with expenses. Then when she said that she didnt want to bother taking my grandmother around for a dress so maybe she would tell her to 'throw on the dress from my Bat Mitvah' Ummm, hellloooo this is my wedding day, can anyone do anything nice for it or is it all about you...taking a limo and staying in a hotel for umm who's wedding, not yours!!

Hahah I use that line too sometimes.....

My moment was prob when I was having my date breakdown and was waiting to hear back from JT if we could book the second. FH wanted no part in this and I literally went bridezilla and was like I don't care, it doesn't matter what you want hahaha sooo not true in hindsight, we laugh about it now lol!

Not yet but I am not allowed to have one Bridezilla moment or FH is leaving my butt He doesnt even like me watching the show because he thinks I am going to get ideas from those crazies.

no bridezilla moments for me yet.. i'm sure i'll have plenty when the wedding gets closer
