Quote From: BrianX29Hello Everyone
Are these ladies putting themselves through a great deal of stress or what? Maybe there expectations for the wedding are so high to where it stresses them out. I hope its not responsibility being all put on them . There the ones doing all the work and getting no help from the husband.
I Got to see the show on this one......
Thank you!! As a new bride, who planned her whole wedding (made the veil, center peices, boquets, inviations, etc), it is stressful. I had two bridzilla moments. One when other brides kept getting assisted after me when I was there first (I would have been pissed in a coffee shop) and when my fiance ordered double brested suites (you have to support me on this one). I had my wedding for $6,000 total. It was hell planning and I didn't even get to enjoy the day until I started downing wine after dinner to cope with my mother.
I think it's the "keeping up with the Jones" mentality that is killing these young brides (and their parents' pocket book). Too much emphisis is placed on the wedding and not the marriage.
In my case it was my mother that nearly caused me to bail days before the wedding. I didn't get what I wanted (to elope) because I had to do what everyone else wanted (family, extended family, friends, etc) only to have my mother ask why I didn't elope the night before my wedding. We're fine now though. It's stressful and these brides need a smack in the face from the groom, mother, florist, what ever, to keep it real. But, it is stressful and there are other situations besides the need for perfection that are making them freak out.
