[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 365223, member: 1233"] I just watched a few of the freakout moments. I am completely clueless about this type of behavior. My childhood bff was a TOTAL bridezilla in many ways. There were almost more people in the wedding party than there were people watching it. This was NOT done out of ANY spirit of making everyone feel included, not by any means. It was a literal dog and pony show. Heck, I was the matron of honor and she didn't even introduce me to the other bridesmaids, let alone the groomsmen! She was totally furious with me because we did not take 7mo old Wiz to the wedding and reception. Not only would he NOT have handled it well, I flat out refused to let the bride's eighty five year old grandmother babysit my child for the wedding, photos and reception. I spent four entire days driving her all over town so she could do whatever, even paid MY money to let someone cut my hair to HER specifications, and told her up front that on the day of the wedding I could not spend eight or ten hours away from Wiz. (While she would have had her Gma babysit my son, the invites clearly said that children were NOT allowed.) She chose to insist on three hours of photos before the ceremony and four hours after the ceremony. I was still nursing Wiz and he was very bottle resistant. I was in pain and leaking a LOT and did not go to the reception. I had called my aunt and Wiz was not eating, kept screaming, and had a fever. No choice at all for me. I went to my kid. She was a spoiled jerk about it and didn't speak to me for over a year. Our friendship never really recovered, now we don't even send cards. There is no point. WHEN did the wedding become all about the bride? I guess maybe I am out of touch or not female enough, but I thought a wedding was about merging two lives to create a family, and about merging two families to support the new family. That a wedding was also for the groom, that what he wanted also counted. My children can be VERY sure that if they act that way about their weddings I will let them know it is simply not acceptable. Some drama is probably inevitable simply because there are so many details, but these people simply are not ready to be half of a couple. They have no respect for anyone, not even themselves. Do people normally act that way about weddings?? WHY??? [/QUOTE]
