Restaurant Bridezilla

RUN!!!! They're spreading, invading every aspect of one's life!
My neighbors took me out for their anniversary dinner a week or so ago,
(lovely twist which I truly appreciated). We were trying to have a
quiet conversation, when a gaggle of young ladies arrived.
They no sooner sat down, than they pulled out dollar-store wedding
gear, plopped it on their heads, and one of them stood up and loudly
announced: "It's my wedding, and I'm the bride!" Deathly quiet ensued.
After a moment, a quiet buzz of conversation resumed. Five minutes
later, the announcement ritual drowned out conversation again.
The rest of our meal was tolled with these five-minute announcements.
I was ready to pretend it was Halloween, and announce a 'Dead Bride'
party. I figured the rest of the diners would be glad to help with the
preparations. My neighbor forstalled me, loudly announcing, with a fake
simper: "It's my anniversary, and I'm here with my boyfriend!!"
Is this an isolated spotting of obnoxious BZilla, or has she
developed new habitat?

Sorry, Cea, but this new breed is popping up all over!
Funny thing is, most of these young 'ladies??' have already co-inhabited
with their prospective grooms for several years!
My brother's son is finally getting married this summer and the bride-to-be
is expecting a huge wedding because she wants to be 'princess for a day' -
and yet she is also expecting her parents and my brother and his wife to
foot the massive bill! They've lived together for six years for heaven's
sake - and not even in their home town! I told my own kids to not even
think about such a mockery....their dad and I paid for our own (small)
wedding and have no regrets at all. (It was either go small or go huge - we
opted for small and moved the wedding to my grandmother's town and church.)
Personally, I would have handled the rude outbursts by standing and
announcing in a loud clear voice "My condolences to the groom!".
On another note: wouldn't it be funny if Bridezilla showed up at your door
asking you to sew her wedding dress?!

And let's not even mention those who go to Las Vegas to get married but
then want to throw a big party to get all the gifts...

Hey check out my website

That is exactly what one DD's step son & his fiancé did. When I was asked
about the gift I was sending, I asked, "What gift? I wasn't invited to the
ceremony itself, so no gift is necessary, IMHO." They are still cool to me
after 5 years, whenever I see them at DD's home.

I agree. Brides usually travel with such a large entourage that I
cannot fit them all inside my small house. If they are amenable to
one-on-one fitting, I'd do it, but conflicting input from 6 to 8
different attendants would get on my last nerve, which is...umm, gone
now.

I'm unsubscribing from this NG - everyone is just to mean & nasty. Real
life is just nasty enough without having the same in cyber world.

LOL....thanks for my laugh of the day! I guess you haven't seen many
newsgroups yet. Try looking at any of the 'alt.' hierarchy and you will
soon see what 'mean & nasty' is...lol.

This has to be one of the friendliest newsgroups out there.
