I'm with you, they don't have the best people skills but they do have legitimate complaints sometimes. I remember ones mom showed up the day of the wedding wanting to wear a white dress.
I agree with you, too. The way the women on that show act is embarrassing, but the issues they're reacting to are generally legitimate problems! I think people who've never planned a wedding don't understand all the care that goes into it, all the emotions that come with bringing families together, and all the pressure on the bride to be perfect.
@LGenz: THANK YOU!! (wipes forehead) I was starting to wonder if it was just me. I am so glad that you agree.
I see why you relate. I had issues, though not at all as extreme, along the way and I would say in my head, "this is why those crazy chicks end up flipping out!". Now, I know better than to freak out and curse at people or treat them poorly. But I can see why they reached their breaking point. This stuff is stressful!
@stillme: Exactly! You hit all the stress points on the head! I am very embarrassed by the way that they act, because really gives Brides a bad name. No matter what the situation, if we're not happy with something or don't agree with something, we instantly get called that. I hate it and think it's unfair!
@jennifer_espos: Yeah, mine haven't been as extreme either, but even the small stuff is stressful.
I totally see their points but agree they handle it badly. I would also be upset about the white dress especially, her mom was kind of crazy too though. And the last episode I know two of the bridesmaids had texted her to say they weren't coming until later because they weren't getting their hair done then changed their story. That would upset me too. And the groom being four hours away then showing up saying it was a joke would make me mad. My fiance was like "Why? He was there". I told him I'd be better if he was actually there yes but to stress me out when I'm already stressed out probably would bother me to some extent.
@mandb122: I remember a few of those shows that you mentioned and was not happy with them myself. I think that her finace' was so wrong when he played that "joke" on her. She was crying and everything. Poor her!
We're getting married an hour and a half from where we live. That isn't very far but after seeing that I told him I'd prefer it if we could drive together and get there at the same time to make sure we both get there intact and on time.
@mandb122: LOL....I would do the exact same thing. No missing grooms. Especially, since he didn;t see a problem with it, huh?
To me, (it's probably because it's closer to my wedding this season) I find myself on the bridezillas' sides constantly. But if you do look at past seasons, some of them were really bad. This season I think is a lot more relatable IMO
@sironel: I do agree that this season is more laid back, for the lack of a better word.
It seems like they purposely pick people who have "difficult" families or something. How many times has there been a sister un-invited to the wedding because they won't cooperate, haha. They can be a little extreme with their reactions but I'm sure as I'm getting closer to the big day I will have a lot in common with them. Haven't seen much of this season but sometimes it does make me feel a little more sane watching other people lose it.
I do remember hearing a bride on that show say one thing that was pretty funny and kind of relatable, she said something along the lines of
"if you're being a Bridezilla, its probably someone else's fault"
I can see some of their concerns, but definitely not their behavior. I am so embarrassed for some of these women. Some of the brides on there you can totally tell they're not really all that bitchy. But some brides, you just know they're beasts in real life; like that girl Maria from FL (I think) and her being young (19!) & naive, she thought she was going to sit around and be the princess for the rest of her life. I'd like to see where she is in 5 years...
Now that I am planning my wedding, I do empathize with Bridezillas. I find myself in fustrating situations and say, "This is why people go Bridezilla on people!" I just don't react the same way that they do. I have my Mama to 'check' people for me. 
My FH was watching Bridezillas with me when the Groom played the joke on the Bride. He laughed because he knew that it was going to annoy me, but he agreed that it was stupid.
I can understand their frustration but NOT their expression of it. Sometimes I wonder if they are even real.. I mean, the way they act in some episodes is just SO over the freakin' top. I am always puzzled by friends and such (BMs) who don't just say "screw you, you are psycho and you now have one less person in your wedding!" I mean really! No way I'd tolerate that from a friend, no matter how stressed out she was.
FI and I watch it together and she will say "Oh I think it's the stress, she can't be that horrible ALL THE TIME" but I don't know. When they are yelling about "I don't want any fat people walking down the aisle in my wedding" and just being soooo nasty, I tend to believe it's an indicator of how they are 90% of the time, wedding or not.
Then again I don't have bridesmaids so I eliminated a HUGE chunk of stress right there. lol. Precisely because I know how hard it can be to get other people to cooperate with you!
@CaraMia10: That Maria was awful!!! I'm often bewildered how someone like that gets proposed to in the first place, when there are some amazing and awesome single people that just can't find anyone!
Then again maybe I take the Bridezilla thing too personally because I have a family member (my MOTHER) who reacts to stress by lashing out viciously at everyone around her no matter WHO is at fault (often it's her own doing!).. so I have a harder time excusing it. ;) She's a MOMzilla all the time, no wedding needed!
Most of the bridezilla moments that are triggered by the groom are the ones I can understand. The ones that insult their bridesmaids and put them ALL on a diet?? Pretty uncalled for.
I'd probably also be irritated if my flowers were way off than what I wanted (yellow instead of green, with the peacock bride) and if the DJ just stood there and didn't play ANY music. =\

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I was watching Bridezillas the other day and realized that I actually relate to some of their concerns and situations. I don't agree, at all, with the way that they handle these circumstances, but their problems are all too real! I mean really....Groom stuck 4 hours away on the day of your rehearsal, astranged sister trying to sabotage your big day, wedding cake completely wrong, BM leaving her shoes in her hometown 7 hours away, finding a big stain on your dress, etc.
I posted about it on FB and of course I got remarks asking if I was one because I related and blah blah blah. I kind of got upset about what people were saying and wondered if I were the only one that felt bad for some of these brides? Please, tell me that I am not alone in this cruel world, lol
