Why is this word used for some brides to be?
Bridezilla.....?
It's a spin off of "Godzilla" the monster that wreaks havoc on and terrorizes anyone and anything that gets in its way.
A Bridezilla is someone that is so consumed with wedding planning and themselves, that they become difficult to be around at times and can be overbearing, rude, nasty, emotional, stubborn, etc.

The end.
This thread can be closed now! Khatti said it all.
Re: Bridezilla.....?
i think there are bridezilla spin off versions when it comes to huge events other than weddings though. I'll say i'm witness to it the way Khatti described it because it's hard to understand that behavior when a third party sees it or experiences it or is around it.
Re: Bridezilla.....?
you should watch the show Bridezillas. My cousin loves that and I had fair share of exposure to it because of her. Scary stuff
I love that show 
Re: Bridezilla.....?
A lot of time people slap on the bridezilla label unfairly too though...God forbid you have some sort of standard or preference for something....but then those are the same people who expect you to have a very low standard of what's good....
Re: Bridezilla.....?
Basically low IQ as in the thinking that Wedding > Marriage.
Re: Bridezilla.....?
How exactly is someone supposed to react to a bridezilla especially when they are acting like that towards them? We know that it's just a result of stress of preparing and making everything perfect for the final event but the people around her that are trying to help her have to take her different moods even if they are temporary and only until the event is done and over with.
I never heard of the show but if it's overdramatic and completely over the top where the main person acts like a spoiled little adult then I might just switch it off. I have low tolerance for DQM where others get scared of the dudette. Come back down to earth.
Re: Bridezilla.....?
I've dealt with some serious bridezillas...they can spoil the entire wedding at times.
The only way I can honestly say I was a bridezilla was when my family was refusing to do my wedding my way. They wanted a big function and there was no way I'd let it happen. :)

I had to deal with my bff being a bridezilla a few years ago. It was emotionally exhausting and I knew I was really sick of it when I couldn't muster up any excitement for the wedding and I just wanted it to be over. My solution (probably helped by the fact that I don't live at home/near my friend) was to lay low for a while and just let her send rude emails. I could easily ignore her and let her get over her tantrums and then respond. The only thing that kept me sane was telling myself that she's just stressed and anxious about leaving her family. Unfortunately, her behavior burned a lot of bridges with some of our other friends and tbh our friendship isn't that same anymore either.
Re: Bridezilla…?
Oh my word, those people! God forbid you have an opinion about what you would like for your wedding.

Are these really examples of a person that would be seen as a bridezilla though? All this is necessary where you actually have an opinion on how you want the big event to be.
It's when the person is nasty to family, friends, and people helping. I think when control freak, nastiness, rudeness take over her is when bridezilla syndrome takes over.
Re: Bridezilla.....?
^ exactly, it's not really a bridezilla....but some people think that is....
Re: Bridezilla…?
Not surprising that some girls seem more excited about the wedding if they haven’t been allowed to even speak to the guy they’re meant to be spending the rest of their lives with..
Agree with Sara.. ‘OMG she won’t let her mil pick her wedding dress.. what a bridezilla’ 
Re: Bridezilla…?
I wouldn’t call desi girls bridezilla. They have reasonable demands imo.
But if you are from da hood then thats an issue:
