Bridezillas

One of the more recent words associated with weddings is the "Bridezilla"--evidently a bride who is over the top demanding, mean, nasty, or subject to whims of flights and fancy that no one can work with her. Thankfully, I've experience few.

I wonder, however, if the phenomenon of the Bridezilla might be more directly associated with our societial ideas about weddings (bigger, brighter, more expensive). When competition, show, or culteral expectations enter into the picture, most people will snap under the pressure.

Brides who learn how to take control of their weddings (demanding of themselves and others a debt-free outcome, simplicity, and control) rarely turn into Bridezillas. They already know who they are and what they want out of their marriage...nothing flashy or extravagant, just a great beginning to a lifetime of love.
