Bridezilla

My wedding is coming down to it's final 26 days and I've been pretty calm and collected throughout this entire almost 1 year process. I just want to talk about how hard it is NOT to become a bridezilla and how it's a real thing.

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate confrontation, hate stepping on people's toes, and just genuinely want everyone to love one another, be nice, and get along (like that'll ever happen). But I swear, this wedding has really caused me to get a tad feisty which kind of scares me a little bit.

Before going through this process I thought i'd never be one of "those brides" that gets on everyone's nerves and seems so selfish ...and I don't think I have been (maybe a few times). But certain things come up that just bring out out the claws. I battle with myself and think "oh that's not a big deal," one minute, and then the next minute i'm like, "awww hellll naww!!!"

I don't think people understand how much effort goes into a wedding. Brides don't just have to pick a pretty white dress and walk down an aisle. We're talking invitations, table settings, decorations, flowers, dance lessons, getting skinny, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, alterations, getting your groom to actually participate...the list is endless. And I am FREAKING OUT! Don't get me wrong, my wedding is going to be beautiful and everything I dreamed it would be, but I encourage everyone to elope, do it in a pretty backyard, and even the chapels in the Vegas hotels are beautiful too.

A little tip to you newly engaged couples, or girls who know that the question is coming soon...start working on your guest list and addresses now. Trust me.

Oh, and try to get married 6-9 months after you get engaged...the more time you have the more money you spend, and the more time you have to change your mind a million times.

With all that said, i'd like to add that I have an amazing wedding planner and mother who have done the majority of the work and probably should be way more stressed than I am.

I'd also like to add that besides being on the verge of the next bridezilla, i'm very excited to marry my best friend and can't wait to be on a beach in 27 days.


I feel better,

Kylie
