[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 365250, member: 1991"] husband & I watched this show last year with a mixture of horrified fascination and trepidation - we were especially nervous of easy child 2/difficult child 2's potential to be a Bridezilla. She did refer to herself as such at times. She had four bridesmaids, each wearing a different shade, and a flowergirl done up as a mini-me. But as far as costs went, we told her up front (as we told all three older kids) - they had $10,000 from us and they had to pay for the rest themselves. difficult child 1's wedding was simple and cheap because everyone volunteered. The biggest problem we had (apart from the difficult child mother in law taking over and making a mess of things embarrassingly) was too many volunteers meant not enough food. We had volunteers coming out our ears, including villagers walking in from the beach to join in. But there was a lot of money left over; the kids bought a car. easy child's wedding, she organised and paid for herself. No Bridezilla. easy child 2/difficult child 2 - a handful. HAD to have the expensive dress. HAD to modify the dress herself to save money (luckily she is capable and artistic). Made her own veil, double stitching on the seed pearls over months. Made all the dresses (with help). Designed all the dresses. We shopped around exhaustively, it was a headache at times. Delightful at times. The hens night was a worry. So was easy child's hens night. I think the most surreal moment was dress shopping with all three girls before the weddings - I had daughter in law looking for bridesmaids' dresses, easy child 2/difficult child 2 helping look for bridesmaids' dresses (for herself as well as for easy child and daughter in law) and easy child looking for the lot. daughter in law was a bride and bridesmaid for easy child 2/difficult child 2. easy child was bride and bridesmaid for easy child 2/difficult child 2. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was bride and bridesmaid to them both. They all had different tastes. daughter in law pulled out a frothy white confection that was festooned with coloured beads; easy child 2/difficult child 2 announced (loudly, in front of the designer), "Darling, it looks like a meringue fell into a vat of cake sprinkles!"
