Bitch-Zillas

Can't say I blamed him. Both terms were accurate appraisals of the bride's behavior toward her mom, friends and fiance.

While Steve watched with dawning horror he would sneak a look at me out of the corner of his eye. Bridezillas is a brilliant show. It's unbelievable that anyone would treat strangers the way these brides-to-be treat family and friends. I can't remember if it was Bridezillas or another show but I actually so some woman slap a seamstress because she didn't like the way the gown was turning out. Disturbing behavior to to say the least. I was glad to see the shops owner escort the person out and tell them their business was no longer desired.

"Please," said Steve, "tell me these girls were bitches all along. It's not the wedding...right?"

I laughed. "I'm sure they're bitchy about everything. Don't worry."

I know this is a small segment of brides but their behavior is still breathtaking. It's amazing the amount of time, energy, money and emotion they expend in their quest for unattainable perfection while accomplishing little more than alienating friends and family. And whatever happened to dignity and grace? Are those qualities no longer valued? No longer taught?

The would-be grooms? Such wimps. It's one thing to cut your fiancee some slack. It's another to be a Grad-A Pussy. If you surrender your testicles before the wedding think what it will be like afterwards.

After the show was over I told Steve that I just wanted him to see how lucky he was to have me. He got a handjob out of it so he didn't complain.

I have noted that when people speak of their wedding day, it's usually the goof-ups they remember......with fondness and a smile. Why demand perfection when you can have warm, fun memories instead?
