Q: My fiance and I have been engaged for 2 years and are now planning our wedding. His friend, got engaged around the same time, I have never been close to them or even really know them.

The problem is that though my searching I found the perfect place for our wedding, a little resort that would allow my family to hang out for the weekend and get to know my fiance’s family, and that we could afford. So my fiance and I made an appointment, rented a car and drove the 3 hours to see it. We got there and only then did my fiance clue in that it was the same location his friend had picked. They are getting married there in the summer, and we are looking for the fall.

Before we booked it he thought it would be polite to ask if they had a problem with us getting married their after. He spoke with his friend and he said that he would call my fiance back. He never did call back.

So we booked it, and now 3 weeks after the phone call they called to say that we are no longer invited to thier wedding and they will not becoming to ours because we are selfish and rude and stealing her thunder.

I’ve met this girl about 5 times.

Am I crazy?

A: This is the kind of crap that really bothers me about weddings.

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Seriously be glad that these immature, petty people are out of your life.

Before I sign off I do want to say that I can understand why they’d be a little annoyed, it’s only natural to want to feel “special and unique” on your wedding day, but that reaction was over the top.

True, no one wants to feel copied but it’s not like you are getting married the day before them ,or the week after so no you aren’t crazy.

At least you had the courtesy to ask them about it.

What’s next? Fighting over who has a child first? Who gets the first dibs on kids names? Who can have a birthday party at certain locations?

Gee whiz!

I’m not a big movie fan. On average there are about 3 movies that come out per year that I put on my must-see list.

Bride Wars, which begins filming next year, will be on that list. It’s staring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson.

“Hathaway and Hudson will play best friends who are pitted against each other when their wedding dates clash. They compete for venues, services and guests, once it’s clear that neither will step aside.” [Source]

I hope this movie won’t be a disappointment because done properly this could be absolutely hilarious. I want it to be one of those feel-good movies that makes you laugh at your own silly behavior.

I’ll be keeping a watch on the progress of this movie.

I believe this tops the Bridezilla cake.

A bride had a beautiful wedding…except for one thing, her flowers were wrong. She ordered dark rust and green and the florist provided pastel pink and green. Did this bride have a fit? I don’t know, probably, but what she did do was file a lawsuit in the Manhattan Supreme court due to “extreme disappointment, distress, and embarrassment”

The bridezilla happens to be a lawyer. She’s suing for $400,000.

I understand that the flowers were expensive ($27,435.14) and that price justifies good service, but come on! Complain, write a letter to local publications, tell all your friends never to go there, heck even demand a partial refund but to sue for over 10x what you paid for the service, come on diva…

This country is so sue happy. Goodness gracious I’m afraid to sneeze for fear that someone will sue me for spreading germs.

How do you know if you are a Bridezilla?

I think one of the most obvious ways to know is if you find that everyone around you rolls their eyes every time you open your mouth about your wedding. Also, if you find yourself saying “THIS IS MY DAY” over and over then you are probably on your way to wearing a Bridezilla crown. Add 2 more points if you have had more than one two year old tantrum over something not going your way.

But don’t just take my word for it; here’s a quiz to see where you fall on the Bridezilla scale.
