A tip to avoid bridal unpleasantness:
Wearing sleeves? Outdoor wedding? Is it hot outside? Worried about unsightly pit stains? Stayfree pads are your friend. I thought that was dang ingenious.

My mother in law expected me to clear tables and pack up our own gifts after my wedding instead of getting all the kids home to bed at 11:30pm, and she made sure she acted all offended so I would feel her wrath/ martyr-ness. Needless to say we had no honeymoon night following the ceremony and the reception. That had to wait for the next few days when my dad flew in from California to watch the oldest son
( because she couldn’t have more than 1, you know.)
And we had paid for our own wedding and the full reception that she ate and drank at! I almost turned into a bridezilla and gave his mom a good toungue lashing!

I had absolutely no help with my wedding. Not with the planning of it or the preparation of it or with knowing how to even set it up. NO HELP! The best part about it was the dress. My aunt made it for me and it was gorgeous. My friend done my hair and makeup and I looked so pretty. I felt even more beautiful. I waited, biting my lip, all day for my husband to tell me that I looked pretty and he never did. I wanted to snap. He didn’t help me with anything and I thought the least he could have done was acknowledge how nice I looked.

I was in my friend’s wedding and she was acting like a diva all day but the final straw came when she was throwing the bouquet. She encouraged all girls/women to get up even a little girl that she babysat for and supposedly loved. Well, this little girl caught the bouquet and before she had a chance to really enjoy it, this bride snatched it away and threw it again until someone “older” caught it because she didn’t want to “mess up her pictures”. Unbelievable.

I was a maid of honor in a wedding that featured so much malarky that it a) confirmed my Catholicism, b) lead to the eventual breakup of the friendship and c) lead to my taking a solemn vow to niether participate in the rituals of other faith or ever attend another wedding (2 exceptions–my sister’s or my own). Really. It was that bad.

we were having a small wedding and well, someone interceppted the dress and it was lost…hmm got a feeling who- then the cake type and topper we picked up mysteriously changed as they were delivered with an ugly swan set and yello cake- mil was all over it- husband told me not to worry she was just being a mother but she always has been a pia to everyone and noone wants to be around her

I had a friend who ordered a dress and bridesmaids- well the bridesmaids were butt ugly peacock blue and looked like pillowcases- they were fine though even though they were ugly- her dress though on the edge by the floor was uneven and she scremaed and the beads bothered her butt when she sat and she got all huffy about that- when it came time for us to wear the dresses- the makeup was not strong enough on the blue dress girls so we looked like hookers on top of it- she did not want anyone prettirer than her and she made sure of it

My first experience as a bridesmaid ended up to be a true “Bridezilla” encounter. First, every ‘wedding update’ email ended with ‘DO NOT SHOW ANYONE…I want to keep as many details a suprise as possible!” The bachelorette party was not to include any male stippers (part of the deal she made with her future hubby. For weeks before the big day, we were lectured about drinking and making fools of ourselves at the wedding and ABSOLUTLY no drinking before pictures! To make matters even worse, the color of the bridesmaid dresses were “bubblegum” so we all looked like sticks of Bubbalicious. In the end, Bridezilla got her karma…her husband ended up getting trashed while playing golf with the guys and ended up stuffing the wedding gift envelopes down his pants the whole night!

The night before my wedding I received a call from out limo service and was asked if I aware that in 1948 they didn’t have air condition in their Bentley’s. Now, this is important because they were calling for record highs and expected it to be over 100 degrees the day of our wedding. Needless to say, I was not aware and we had record breaking weather of 103 degrees, I have never been so hot in my life as I was riding in that car and by time I got to the reception, needless to say, I was extremely unhappy with the limo company.

One of my best friends growing up asked my to be her bride’s maid last year, and she was a complete monster to deal with on her “big day”. Not only did she boss myself and the rest of the wedding party around around, but she ended up getting drunk and made a complete fool of herself at the reception! Uggh…I don’t know if I ever want to be in a wedding AGAIN!
The show has been great so far this season, and I can’t wait for next week’s episode. Last Sunday, I couldn’t believe that one chick Andrea made her bride’s maids go through bridal bootn camp! What a pyscho! If you missed it, I found a clip of it here:

Maybe not a “bridezilla” story, but I was once in a wedding where I didn’t know the bride or the groom.
I was living on the border of Mexico and this girl in my office invited me to her brother’s wedding that upcoming weekend. We were not great friends–she didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak Spanish, but I said yes. The next day, she brought me a dress to wear to the wedding which was…unfortunate looking. (Red Satin, black fingerless gloves, there was a cape). I thought maybe she just brought it becuase she thought I didn’t have anything fancy to wear.
So the day of the wedding comes, I show up at the church in the dress and try to sit in the back row (I was late). At that point, I get ushered to the FRONT row, where I see 5 other girls wearing the exact same hideous dress as me. Apparently, I was a bridesmaid.
Later found out, one of the bride’s original bridesmaids had to bow out and they just needed a 6th person who could fit in the dress.
