How To Avoid Screeching Bridezilla
What causes a bride to transform into a Bridezilla?
The term Bridezilla has come to describe the tragically violent behaviors of otherwise congenial ladies as they approach their wedding day. Bridezilla may be found screeching at the top of her voice, throwing small objects, or collapsing in a corner sobbing uncontrollably.
What causes these radical change s? Is it really these little details that seem to set off the transformation , or is there more involved? A few potential causes arise upon closer inspection . It may not really be these small details after all. There may be more fundamental causes of this transformation .
The old campfire story telling technique, "Closer and closer, step by step.." well characterizes the subtle development of emotional and physical pressures faced by the bride. As the wedding approaches, the multitude of details loom before her. The insignificant things take on huge collective importance. The moment something goes wrong, it causes a sinking feeling like being caught in an avalanche. Emotional boulders come crashing down unexpectedly.
Your wedding is suppose to be a fun time full of loving expression, laughter, gaiety, and celebration. It should not be marked by desperation, panic, or aggravation. Yes, there are many details surrounding a wedding, but they should not cause the Bridezilla transformation . Calamity should be prevented in advance of the wedding.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This old adage is true and brides should remember it as they look toward their wedding. If a bride understands that there are going to be many details surrounding the wedding, she needs to think ahead, plan ahead, and do ahead. It is amazing how much less stress we have over a job that is already done. Last minute jobs can create a nightmare of panic. When little details are overlooked, they expand and grow larger and larger. Most of these irritations can be prevented with a little planning and delegation.
Bridezilla seldom appears when the bride is enjoying herself, feeling the love, relishing the moments, and being carried away with the celebration of her marriage. Unfortunately, someone must manage all the little details. One of the best ways to insure that the details are all taken care of properly is to hire a capable wedding coordinator and give yourself plenty of time to process with them. Those little details and the big ones suddenly disappear because your wedding coordinator is managing them. All you have to do then is enjoy.
Most brides do not approach their wedding day without loads of thoughts and dreams. They often imagine the location, the music, the decorations, and the wedding gown. Making these thoughts and dreams reality is the task of the wedding coordinator and the wedding minister. Their mission begins by learning the hopes and dreams of the bride. Then they proceed through the whole planning and preparation process. All of this culminates in the wedding itself.
You are not the first bride to face pressure from family, friends, distant relatives, supposed experts, and others who want to dominate your wedding. Dealing with Aunt Insistent can be a big challenge and often brings on Bridezilla unexpectedly. This is another place where your wedding coordinator can be invaluable. If you wedding is thoroughly planned out, it is easy for you to say to Aunt Insistent, "Please talk to my wedding coordinator, she is in charge of the wedding." Most of the time, Aunt Insistent will just quietly withdraw. If not, your wedding coordinator can calmly explain, "I am sorry, the wedding has been planned this way for months. We just cannot change it now."
Your wedding can be carefree and full of grace, if you do two things: plan and let your wedding coordinator, minister, and others implement your dreams. Detail planning and implementation can save you so much grief, and frustration that no one need ever see Bridezilla at your wedding.
Instead of inviting Bridezilla to your wedding, invite your wedding coordinator. Let them worry while you celebrate.
