You never know when Bridezilla might appear

I wasn't familiar with this concept until a few months ago. I don't know why I ended up reading about it, and now it appears all the time across multiple platforms. People around me don't get married anymore; it's like a foreign concept, or a rather vintage one. In my circle, getting married is something upper-class people do, because they are more tied to traditional family values. I understand that's peculiar, though; most people get married, and not only rich people do, but I come from a very peculiar family. Either way, the concept of a Bridezilla is funny and appealing to me; it's the beast that emerges when the stakes are as high as they can be and one feels like the wedding night is the night everything changes.

  • Through things like this, you see the classical double standards: somebody who seems reluctant to spend any money on a friend expects you to spend thousands of dollars on them. I do agree this is all very avoidable, and that she can say no; of course it’s not an easy thing to do, but nobody said it was easy; they said it was the solution- that’s all. Honestly, I feel the same way. If she can’t or doesn’t want to participate, she should say no; if she is going to do it and complain till the very end, it’s up to her.
