Bridezilla Moments - How To Battle It

No one ever thinks that it’ll happen to them. No one believes that they are capable of such monstrosity. And yet, year after year, wedding after wedding, perfectly civil and rational women turn into angry raging creatures like werewolves at a full moon.

This is the condition infamously known as “Bridezilla.” You’ve all met her before. Frantic, panicked, stressed, angry, and prone to inconsolable fits of hysteria, rage and tears. She freaks out over the smallest detail gone awry, and imagines every possible or impossible disaster that could strike on her wedding day. Sure, stress and anxiety is completely understandable, it is your wedding after all. But when premarital jitters tip into full blown tantrums and theatrics, it not only robs you of all the joy and anticipation you should be feeling on your wedding day, but also from those around you. Those who love you are already going out of their way to be with you and assist you on such a hectic day, and to put them through the added misery of coping with such a scary sight is unfair and unnecessary.

So how do you prevent yourself from becoming a bridezilla? First, you must release the need for that “perfect wedding,” the dream where everyone will be perfectly orchestrated, say all the right things, smile at timed intervals, and you float down the aisle like a fairy princess. While it’s normal to want a flawless wedding, whenever that many people assemble together some snafu is bound to occur. Meltdowns begin when brides believe that every detail must be perfect. When they then find their bouquet missing a few flowers, or their eyeliner smudged, they are convinced that their wedding is irretrievably ruined. Remember that a few inconsequential details are just that – inconsequential.

Second, don’t try to control everything. You should’ve already entrusted responsible people to be directing and administrating all the details. Let them do their jobs. Your job is to look gorgeous, be ecstatic, and to say “I do” at the end of a series of questions.

Thirdly, have back-up plans in place. Being prepared works for natural disasters, and it’ll work for your wedding. Bring extra makeup, a small sewing kit, safety pins, bobby pins, double-sided tape, energy bars, deodorant, stain remover (Tide’s “To-Go” stick works wonders), super glue, anything and everything you can possibly think of.

Last but not least, remember to breathe. Voices become screechy and high-pitched without routine breathes of air. Life has many more hiccups and bumps along the way, as it often goes awry more than as planned, so you might as well sit back, take a deep breath, and laugh it off.
