Bridezilla

There's lots of buzz on the proverbial bridezilla culture, with several dozens of books selling well on the subject.

What does bridezilla mean? It's something like this: a hyper-nervous, frantically demanding, perfectionist female planning and executing the details of her upcoming wedding, without good sense. Bridezilla will stop at nothing to have the PERFECT wedding day.

Is it fair to label an otherwise well-meaning woman thus? It's something like an alcoholic: not everyone who drinks too much is a drop dead boor and not every bride who occasionally goes over the top is a bridezilla, one with the dramatic characterisitics that would label her after the wedding as just another b-tchin' control freak.

My advice: if you want the perfect wedding, delegate to others---let them do the friend of bridezilla legwork. Avoid the label for yourself and become the CEO of your own special day. And, if you freak out over any detail, stop and apologize, back up and chill out. No wedding is perfect, but every wedding has its own exquisite meaning. Let yourself have it flow, no matter what happens.
