Ever been called a bridezilla?

When you're only requirements are a dress already within the BMs budget, I cannot see how that would be bridezilla territory. If you're asking more than this, then yes you are.

I may have one in a few days. Back story: FH's best man was best man at another friend's wedding. He got drunk (whatever, not the problem) and never prepared anything for his speech. We were all trying to help him out, even the DJ, and we thought he had something. When it came time for the speech, he told a bunch of nasty stories about the groom that we had begged him not to tell. Made the? groom look like a complete asshole.

So I said if he doesn't have a speech prepared by the day before he's not giving a speech. I don't care if that makes me a bridezilla. I don't want that uncomfortable feeling at my wedding!

OP, I, like everyone else, want to know what you're making your BM's buy. Mine bought nothing but their dresses...

As far as I know, I have not been called one- but all I'm asking the bridesmaids to purchase is a dress, and I've asked them not to throw me a shower.

Natalie, answering a question, even through a screenshot of texts, is not being smug. It's being honest and giving the OP a dose of reality, which she may very well need.

I never was... what are you asking them to buy??

Awwww @Elphaba thanks I'm sure the best man won't feel that way, but he and I don't usually see eye to eye anyway, so whatever! BTW your BAM is still one of my absolute favorites

I was pretty chill until the day of. I just wanted to be the bride that entire day but I had a melt down because it felt like I had to be the one fixing everything that went awry that day.

I had a couple meltdowns the week before the wedding just to myself. I had too much to do and not enough time so I was struggling but no one else had to deal with it.

The day of the wedding I kept getting told by my friend who gets married next month "I wish I could be as chill of a bride as you", and they kept thanking me for making things so easy on them during the time leading up to the wedding. They would ask about specific shoes and make up, and I just wanted them to feel beautiful as well! They are my best friends, and are special to me. I'm not going to ruin that for one day.

Waiting for OP to come back and say something like she asked them to buy 300 dollar cowboy boots and their own hair and makeup.

If I wanted something specific for my bridesmaids. I first asked their opinion. If they both agreed then I purchased it because it was what I wanted. I left hairstyle and make up up to them, but I scheduled their appointments for both and I'm paying for it because I want them professionally done.

We paid for everything for all of those in our wedding. We did not want anyone to be stressed.

TIL not treating your friends like garbage makes you smug

FWIW I never got called a bridezilla because when I was planning my wedding I remembered that my friends are people with lives and responsibilities and that my wedding wasn't a big deal to anyone except me and my husband. If saying that makes me smug then so be it.

@Madelyn - My girls' dress is $32 on Amazon I bought one to just try it on (to make sure it wouldn't need alterations) and it's perfect!

To answer your question, no, I have not been called a bridezilla.

Nope, NOT YET, lol!! They may have been thinking it for a few hours, but didn't say it out loud.

I had my heart set on a particular color but EVERY DAMN DRESS in that color was ugly and matronly and I insisted on walking around the garment district in LA for about 2 hours before I finally gave in and let them have the color they wanted. They already knew they were picking whichever style they wanted.

However, we then walked around for more than 2 hours looking for their makeup and shoes and jewelry, by THEIR choice. So they couldn't complain about my 2 hours too much, lol. Then, I made it up to them by paying for their jewelry myself. They have no particular shoe they need to get, just needs to be silver.

The only time I've been called a bridezilla is just now, in this thread, with a sweeping generalization.

I'm pretty sure my fiancé might be calling me a bridezilla in his head...but it's because I refuse to allow his mother to have a B list!

He doesn't understand why it's rude and why I care so much...even when I laid it out for him and was like 'wouldn't you feel kinda shitty if someone invited you to a wedding 3 weeks before? Especially once you got there (if you went) and realized that it was clearly a wedding that had been planned for months or longer?' He agreed he'd be upset/angry..but still doesn't see the problem in allowing his mother to do it to others...*face palm*

I haven't been called a "bridezilla" but one of my bridesmaids told me I get them "too involved" when I asked for their opinion on cupcake flavors. I just wanted to pick out a cupcake flavor that the majority liked! Oh wellz.
