Bridezillas after the wedding!!!!!!!

Hello All,

First off, let me just say congratulations to our new president, BARACK OBAMA, its such a blessing to able to live and see this wonderful time. I named this post "Bridezillas after the wedding" because, believe it or not there is a such thing. Brides to be, it's wonderful to have a big beautiful 300 person wedding.......if you have the money to afford it, and pay your vendors on time. But, on the other hand if you don't have the money to foot the bill for a 300 person wedding, just simply cut cost, and the guest list.What some brides fail to realize is that, your wedding is your wedding...bottom line, and if after your wedding you still owe vendors, it is not your vendor's fault, or your wedding planner's it is your fault and your responsibility to pay your vendors. Wedding planners are here to assist you with the planning of your big day, and to keep you from turning into bridezillas by keeping you focused and organized throughout the process. But if you meet with the florist 3 or 4 different times and change your order each time, then do the same with your rental company (ex: linen colors, chair covers etc...) and other vendors, it is really not a good thing. So I say all of that to say this, if it makes you feel better to blame everyone else for your debt, except for the one who created the debt, then someone really needs to take a look in the mirror. I love what I do, I always have and I always will, but recently I have had to deal with a "Bridezilla after the wedding", and that really tested my faith, and my sanity in this business. But like I always say, if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it. And brides just be budget conscious of the things you want, and just listen to your planner if he or she tells you that what you want is not in the budget, but here is an equally beautiful option that is. This will keep you from becoming a "Bridezilla after the wedding!!!!!!

Thank you and God Bless,

I have experienced the presence of those "Bridezillas after the wedding" that you are talking about. They become very irritated and act like they are mad at the world because they're trying to figure out how to pay off their debts. I don't understand why they never want to listen to anyone when they know they don't have the money to have a Paris Hilton wedding. Which brings me to my question...Do you think it's crazy to start saving for your future wedding when you're not even engaged to anyone or should you wait to save together with your future fiance'?

Hey Lady J,

I definately don't think that it is a bad idea to start saving if you are not engaged yet, because when you do get engaged you will have to start somewhere, so its definately not a bad idea to have some money set aside for that. I think if these "Bridezilla" brides had done that, then they wouldn't be in this situation.
