Haha this is great, i swear to myself and the FH that i will never be "that girl" but you just never know...but If i can sit through endless games of COD and Halo Reach i hope he can handle my undying love for SYTTD and the possibility that for a few days leading up to the big day i might be a little bit crazier than normal
Yeah I never really became a crazy person the week before my wedding. The details and planning weren't a huge deal to me (horror on the Bee I know)!
haha! Oh, Mr.Coffee. The funniest thing is, I know I'm not the type of person to become overly crazed about the small things. i.e. I don't think I'll every become a bridezilla. That being said, I think I'm becoming a bridezilla right now if Mr.TKE doesn't help me set a date for our wedding :) haha! Anyhow, your go tme thinking when you said Miss Coffee grabbing an axe. I was wondering what you did to prevoke this. Please don't become a Groomzilla Mr.Coffee :)
That line made my FI cringe as well. The problem is the women on bridezilla already have those types of personalities, the wedding just intensifies it. I can never imagine doing anything those girls do but that is just not my personality.
Mr. Coffee,
If I may, I'd love to share a piece of advice that may help Miss Coffee to not become a bridezilla. The thing about wedding planning is it can become so all consuming. This details that all come together to form a deeply significant day in your life can begin to loom large in your brain and become your sole focus. I know they did for me. I started to long for the days when we were dating and not engaged. Those days seemed so carefree and fun. So, I sat down with my husband (my FI at the time!) and requested that we started going on non-wedding planning dates. We would designate certain dates as "non-wedding planning" and if either one of us started to mention anything remotely related to the wedding, we would stop ourselves. This gave us an opportunity to look at the bigger picture of other things going on in our lives and also to focus on our relationship (the real reason we wanted to get married in the first place!!!). These non-wedding dates really helped me maintian my sanity.
A zombie invasion is a serious threat that my FI and I will be sure to prepare ourselves for on the day of our wedding. ;)
I just need to say that your post had me cracking up at work... I hope that I do not become the horrible b-word before our wedding, but I do tend to act a bit irrational in stressful situations... let's just hope all goes smoothly so it will never come to that!
LOL this is a great post. I guess it is a good thing that neither of us watch Bridezilla.
I honestly don't believe a lot of those bridezilla episodes. I mean, who'd want to marry those women? They already have that personality BEFORE the wedding, the stress just amplifies it. Oh well, I am a big planner by nature and lazy to boot. I don't know if I will be that stressed!
haha! You have the best posts!
I don't think real life brides ever turn into the girls on the show they are just there for $ & raitings. Just try to remember that next time. Now that I am wedding planning I cant even watch thoes shows anymore.
I'm just hoping this post continues to make you ladies laugh. Thanks for the comments :)
Oh man! Juan just scared every male watching that episode last night. Mr. was walking through the living room and stopped as he was saying it. He gave me a look of warning. He won't put up with it. I know who to be crazy around.
Plus, the producers of that show encourage the brides to act like that for ratings. I know a girl who was on it from here. It was an interracial couple getting married here in Pittsburgh. She was white and he was black. His sisters were causing all sorts of drama, but they told me that the producers basically created the story. They don't act like that in real life. it's a shame some of these women sign up for this just for a honeymoon. I would not be cutting heads off for ratings and a free honeymoon.
Thanks for this post, it made me chuckle! I certainly needed that after a bit too much time on a certain other thread... :)
haha, well at least you are 100% clear on half of the potential problems
Oh this post made my Monday, thanks.
We watched a few episode of bridezilla and my FH and I had the same conversation. When all hell broke loose earlier this year when the Fh's ex passed away, I calmly and rationally picked up the phone and moved everything until next year. He said with that I calmed any nervousness he had about me being a bridezilla. He also said if we could handle that so calmly the rest of life would be a cake walk.
This made me laugh. Great post again, Mr. Coffee. You're a funny guy and I love reading about your relationship with Miss Coffee. You guys seem like a great couple. :)
@Miss_Tattoo- I had been wondering how the show works and how they find these brides to be on it ahead of time. There are still a lot of questions I have about how these reality shows work, though...
My SO made me promise not to be a Bridezilla. I couldn't imagine yelling at someone at all really haha. We'll hve to see what goes wrong and take it minyute by minute :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Miss Coffee loves two shows "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Bridezilla". For over a year now, I've sat next to her and watched these shows to the best of my ability. What do I mean when saying "to the best of my ability"???
Answer... I'm a guy!
I won't lie ladies; whenever Bridezilla comes on, I begin to sweat! My heart starts racing and my left eye begins to twitch. Miss Coffee loves to make fun of me when watching this train wreck of a show, "my goodness honey" she says "this stuff will never happen to us... relax"!
Relax, relax, relax??? I can't relax when brides are punching siblings in the face! Last night, Miss Coffee and I watched an episode where the groom-to be said something that has been imprinted on my brain! "No matter what you do, or who she is... every woman becomes a bridezilla the week of her wedding"!!!
WHAT!?!?! No, no, no... That can't be true?!?!?
Two months ago, after watching a Bridezilla episode I turned to Miss Coffee and asked "Listen babe, you have to be completely honest with me... what are my chances you will become one of these women"? Miss Coffee, the love of my life, the women I want to spend the rest of my life with, turned to me and said... "You really have to ask me that question, babe you know I wouldn't do half the things these women are doing".
At first, her answer calmed my nerves.... but that only lasted 2 seconds!
"WAIT A MINUTE, YOU SAID HALF" I shouted "OH GOD... YOU SAID HALF"
"What" she said walking into the other room. I proceeded to follow Miss Coffee into the kitchen, "you just said you wouldn't do half of the things those women do... what about the other half babe.... WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER HALF"???
This conversation last for about 20 minutes and was primarily me asking key questions. These questions went across the board; giving scenarios that included but was not limited to, fires, missing bridesmaids, zombies, wrong flowers, wrong flavored cake, and people calling 3 days before the weddings saying they can't make it".
Half way through; I realized there was only one reason I was going on and on about all of this, a realization that was both incredible and shocking: I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THESE THINGS... NOT MISS COFFEE! It was at the point Miss Coffee asked the following question, "Let’s say you’re driving to the ceremony and one of your groomsmen is so drunk, walking in straight line, let alone standing is out of the question. Would you be upset"?
I sat at our kitchen table pondering the question, looked over at our cat (Mr. Oliver) who in turn was staring at me in a way that basically said "sorree broz, shes gotz u on this 1"! I looked back at Miss Coffee and said "yes! I would be pretty pissed off".
"Would you get passed it" she said. "Of course I would" I replied "it's our wedding day". Miss Coffee placed her hand onto mine, looked me in the eyes and said "me too".
I love this woman! The groom on last nights episode is correct "no matter what you do, or who she is... every woman becomes a bridezilla the week of her wedding". However, the statement should be worded more like this:
"The week of your wedding is a very stressful time; it's common for both bride and groom to become on edge or even upset when something (that took over a year to plan) goes wrong or even potentially wrong. However, the true strength of the happy couple is displayed in how they overcome the small or even large obstacles that come their way".
I would never picture Miss Coffee as becoming Bridezilla; not at the level the wonderful women on that show are at. However, I would totally understand losing your cool, expressing your frustration or concern about something... or even grabbing an axe when a zombie try’s to jump on the dance floor.
Mr. Coffee
