RUN!!!!! It's BRIDEZILLA!!!

Bridezilla
A woman who, in the course of planning her wedding, exercises or attempts to exercise an high degree of control over all or many minor details of the ceremony and reception.

Signs That You Have Come Into Contact With A Bridezilla
1. Do you have a friend or relative who used to be as "sweet as apple pie" but has done a complete 180 and turned into a Witch, ever since she got engaged?
2. Is the only thing that you hear roaring out of her mouth since she got engaged is: MY WEDDING! MY WEDDING! MY WEDDING!
3. Would you happily prefer to have a root-canal over having to be within a 10 foot radius of your newly-engaged friend or relative?
Well, CONGRATULATIONS! You have just come into contact with your first Bridezilla! (God help you!) And, just in case some of you out there are reading this and you don't know what a Bridezilla is, the following is a definition written by author and etiquette expert, Gail Dunson, that pretty much sums it up.

BRIDEZILLAS are a new breed of soon-to-wed women who abuse the idea that weddings are "their day." They terrorize their bridal party and family members, make greedy demands and break all rules of etiquette to insure that they are the single most important person on the planet from the time that they are engaged to the time that they are married.

How To Get Rid Of A Bridezilla
There are a lot of ways that a person can get rid of a Bridezilla, but most of them are against the law. Basically, if you don't want to wind up in jail or in the electric chair, I am going to suggest this less controversial method. Suggest a blog-site...and encourage her to use it frequently. One of the main reasons why a Bridezilla acts the way that she does or any other Bride for that matter, is the extreme stress that usually comes with planning and executing a wedding.
Go out and buy her a journal so that she can record her thoughts and experiences, good and bad, leading up to the big day. Frequent journaling can help a Bridezilla get the little things as well as the big ones off of her chest. This release can actually make her feel better mentally and physically because some of the weight that she has been carrying around has been lifted. Also, by recording her thoughts and experiences and then going back and re-reading what she has written can sometimes make things much clearer and give her some fresh insight that she didn't have before.
The main objective in helping a Bridezilla get rid of the stress that is making her act irrationally is for her to get what is bothering her out on paper, cassette, or an online journal or blog. And not to take it out on innocent friends, relatives or hired staff who just want to help. Frequent journaling has the power to get rid of a Bridezilla! And let's face it, that is exactly what everyone involved in a wedding wants, including the "Bridezilla" herself.

My babies :)

I have something worth blogging about… I finally (I say finally because it’s been about a week) got my toasting flutes in!!!!

They are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen before. Ever. When I opened the Swarovski box, I became breathless! They are champagne flutes with a Swarovksi crystal base. The stem is also filled with little Swarovski crystals.
Here’s a picture:


















And trust me…. They’re even more beautiful in person! Just like my engagement ring, these babies sparkle in low light!
