Banishing Bridezilla: Getting married without alienating everyoneBY: Guest | Category: Women | Post Date: 2010-02-02
Every girl dreams of her wedding day. Barbies throughout the world have been trotted down the aisle with their respective Kens as little girls envision themselves on that day. It's no wonder that once that day comes, that little girl's dreams are desperately sought after by the woman who now stands in her place. 'Bridezilla': a combination of bride and Godzilla that aptly describes many women in the final months before their wedding day. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and nobody is going to ruin it for them. Unfortunately, this often translates into 'I know what's best,' then 'I'm right,' then 'you're wrong,' then 'you're ruining everything,' and even 'you're ruining my big day.' While this would be rude and cruel to begin with, it only makes it worse that the person on the other end of this conversation is often the groom. So how do you banish bridezilla before she threatens to alienate you from your friends, family, and beloved? One of the best pieces of advice I received as I was planning my wedding was that it's not about the wedding, it's about the marriage. At first glance, this seems like just an issue of semantics. What's the difference between a wedding and a marriage? Simple. One is a verb. The other is a noun. The wedding is the act of two people becoming one. This is often the primary (if not only) focus of all of the pre-wedding preparation. The marriage is a noun. This is the seventy or so years following the wedding that the couple will be joined together. One way to help banish the bridezilla within you is by spending as much time preparing for your marriage as you do preparing for your wedding. If you go dress shopping with your mom and sister for three hours, make sure to spend three hours talking to your fiancé about non-wedding things. If you visit four different possible wedding sites, take four different dates together that enable you to connect through talking, learning more about one another, and developing your relationship. Another way to build this type of interaction into your relationship is to start a habit of reading books together. You might start off with a book about relationships. You can either decide to read a chapter over a certain length of time and get together every week or so to discuss it, or sit down together in front of a fire and read aloud to one another. The key in either of these is not just to analyze the content, but to apply the information to your relationship. Don't be afraid to stop reading to ask questions, make a note, or delve deeper into an issue it raises. Any of these tactics will help you remember the real reason for the wedding: the marriage itself. Another way to monitor bridezilla is by relying on your friends. Talk to one of your bridesmaids early in the planning process and tell her about your concerns about becoming bridezilla. If she is as good of a friend as she should be given that she's in your wedding party, the two of you should have a strong enough relationships to take the inevitable confrontations that will take place once bridezilla begins to show herself. More than anything else, remember why you are getting married. When your soon-to-be husband sees you walk down that aisle in your wedding dress, he will see you as the most beautiful woman in the world. As you plan your wedding, remember that that kind of beauty doesn't just come from makeup, a dress, or the perfect hairstyle, it comes from the love you have for him and your character. Do whatever it takes to become the love and perfection that he sees in you, and banish bridezilla.
