bridezilla

I am not a bridezilla!! (indignant face)... I'm just very excited, very far in advance. Jerry only called me that because he didn't like my idea of Marie Antoinette inspired bridal party attire. I don't mean I want his groomsmen to wear silver wigs and powder their faces white, I just like the pastel colour theme with big flowers, feathers and fans.
It's so much fun all this creative design and event organisation! Now I understand how girls get so obsessed with it. A huge special party that you'll only have (hopefully) once in your life, celebrating the most beautiful thing (love), where you get to dress up and be the centre of attention around all the people you care about most in the world. Of course we love it!
I'm enjoying every detail; table settings, guest list, hair styling, invitations, photography...the hours I've spent just browsing wedding dresses on the Internet! On her bridal website, Vera Wang asks me 'which type of bride are you; the traditionalist, the modernist, the sensualist, the minimalist, the exhibitionist....?' Hmmm.. Which shall I be?!.... 'You're a bridezilla' jerry assures me.
Oh, party planning is fabulous fun! Maybe I could become a professional wedding planner...? or maybe I shouldn't get too ahead of myself. It hasn't come crunch time yet!
If only I had a female housemate to throw my ideas at. Discussing bridesmaids colours with Jerry is like flogging a dead horse.
Can a bride do a mini tastefully?...Shoes or no shoes for a beach wedding? To give him some credit, Jerry did offer an opinion about my dress. When I suggested that I'd like some colour in my dress, he stated that 'his bride will be wearing white'. He also insists that a priest marries us but I insist I don't want any religious rubbish in my vows. And then there's still the tense issue of the surname change....
