We all have that one friend who changed her modus operandi when it came to planning her wedding and all things related to it.
If your fiancé has started suggesting massages at the spa or taking yoga classes, here are top signs that you have tendencies of becoming just like this friend, a true bridezilla:
- Frequent Mood Swings
There are mood swings, and there are just waves of anger and sadness that might need special attention. This usually happens because the bride-to-be may be getting worried about her wedding lineup and aspects of it; wedding dress, décor details and even confusion with the planner. Get ready for lots of drama from the ice-queen!
- Getting Snappy
Screaming and crying are actions common with bridezillas who are not satisfied with the other stakeholders of the wedding ceremony and celebrations in general. The world literally revolves around them, any other activity unrelated to the wedding should be put on pause for the queen, or there may be a shoutfest. It’s the Bride’s way or the highway!
- Excessive Notifications
No one has actually forgotten about your wedding and the fact that they need to buy aso-ebi. A few reminders actually make sense especially if you are expecting financial contributions at certain dates but don’t go overboard with a daily countdown 50 days to the wedding.
- Expensive Considerations
Your bridal party doesn’t actually have to look like a synchronized swimming team. Bridezillas may not let their friends be in charge of their personal aesthetics for their big day, and they would rather dictate the code for hairstyles, jewellery and shoes at the expense of their friend’s pockets in the name of friendship.
- Too Fashion Forward
Your bridesmaids don’t actually have to buy designer dresses to be on your train. Maybe that’s the reason you haven’t seen Temitope in a while; she’s sweating herself off trying to maximize her side hustle so she can afford that “couture” dress that her church tailor could have sewn way better.
- Time Convenience
Bridezillas generally have bad time management. This includes giving short notice before certain dress fittings and other wedding events while still expecting everyone to fall in line with her mapped out schedule. Even giving out information on hotels and bookings on time may go a long way to help some people plan properly.
The irony of life is that most bridezillas can’t even tell that they are or have such tendencies; you just might want to check yourself before you wreck any important relationships. Take your fiancé’s advice and hit the spa, relax and wait to enjoy your big day.
