Bridezilla Story


Today I went to CopyMax to finish up the invitations. We were going to print the invitations, but this task was deemed too much of a hassle on our part. Thank goodness the staff at CopyMax are so friendly and knowledgeable.

I'm horrible with names, but the staff member "she" and I swapped wedding stories. I told her about the invitations being a real pain even though the plan and layout is so simple.

She told me of a mother-in-law that came to her in tears pleading with her to print invitations in an hour for a rehearsal dinner...for 100 people. I said, "Are you kidding me? Isn't that supposed to be for like immediate family?" She said yes, but apparently this particular Bridezilla invited half the wedding party and sent the bill to her future mother-in-law (at $65 a plate).

I inquired about the groom and she said he was totally spineless and said, "whatever she wants" referring to Bridezilla. (Mom said the son even knew she was struggling with money) She said the mother was so upset that she walked around the counter and gave her a reassuring hug.

I can't help but think how this moment affected Bridezilla's mother-in-law (who was saving for a house at the time). So sad....

I hope I don't have many bridezilla moments. We came to an agreement early on, not to stress too much and to compromise.
