10 Ways To Know You've Turned Into A Bridezilla

Weddings can be stressful -- we get it. You want everything to be perfect, and most brides like to call the shots when it comes to their special day. So how do you know when you've entered bridezilla territory?
 

You're Spending So Much Your Parents Will Have To Take Out  A 2nd Mortgage

It's perfectly normal to want the best of everything for your wedding, right? Not really. If your parents are on a fixed income and you are expecting them to pay the bill, don't go for crystal candelabras and $125 per-person plated dinners. This can put you well on your way to becoming a bridezilla. You can have a great wedding without forcing your parents to take out a second mortgage. Scale it back do a buffet. People can mingle in line!

You're So Angry

Before planning your wedding, you got along with everyone, but now friends and family all seem to have spontaneously transformed into insensitive jerks. Bad news for you... It's not them, it's you princess!
 

The Pictures Must Look Like A Spread in Vogue

Brides hire a pro photographer to capture every moment of their wedding day.Just don't choose a maid of honor based on her photogenic-ness. Instead, see others' flaws as reasons you'll look all the more radiant.

Your Bridesmaids Defriend You In Life and Online

Used to be BFF's, but now they are avoiding your calls and aren't your friend on facebook. Perhaps it's because you've demanded twice-weekly meetings and have been sending them daily text updates. Get a wedding planner -- or a therapist. They will gladly listen to you talk for hours about you. (for a fee.)

You're Issuing Clothing Color Edicts

You're a bride, not a fashion designer. You can't exactly issue a decree proclaiming that no female attending the ceremony wear white just because you don't want any unfavorable comparisons.

Your Registry Totals More Than A College Education

Have you already started thinking about where you're going to store your new crystal? Unless your last name is Gates, if you fill your registry with obnoxiously priced items- all you are going to get is a bunch of congratulatory cards. Be sure to pepper your registry with a few less expensive items, like coffee makers, toasters and griddles, for the rest of us, OK?
