"To be or not to be. . . bridezilla?" that is definitely the question at hand right now. I watched the show Bridezillas one time and had to quickly change the channel because the immaturity and selfishness of these brides-to-be was astounding and aggravating. Now, it's two days before my wedding and I can almost relate to them. Although, I still think that my 7-year-old far exceeds them in maturity, I do understand their pain. Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life coming second only to maybe graduations and birth of children.
Before this all began, I made a choice to "keep my eye on the prize" and remember that this is all about two people displaying their love for each in the presence of their friends and family. I have had most of the details of my wedding planned for 3 years and now as the time approaches, it seems as if every single one of those plans have fallen through. Bridezilla is trying to emerge. Now, I know what the hulk goes through!! By the grace of God, I have still kept a great attitude even though my dress has a mind of its own, my future husband has no opinion on anything, and my kids have an opinion on EVERYTHING!
I believe because I had kept a great attitude about that God has rewarded me. It is all falling together and turning out better than I had planned. I am thankful that God has sent me a man with tremendous integrity and if I have to wear my blue jeans and marry him in a bathroom, then so be it. When we keep the right attitude, God will work things out in our favor. Let's face it, we live here on earth and everything doesn't go our way.
So, to answer the question "to be or not to be a bridezilla?," ladies. DON'T DO IT! The man you are marrying is much more important than a dress or a flower or a cake. We must remember that the people in our lives are much more important than the things.
