My observation about weddings, which I have made over decades and I stand by it, is this:

The fancier the wedding, the more bitter the divorce.

This is because those gals that get into putting on a three-ring circus are living the dream - the fairytale dream. Eventually reality intervenes, and they are sorely pissed off that they aren't living happily ever after. It may be the husband who ends the marriage but it's often the wife's disappointment that precipitates it.

I will say, in defense of brides, however, that I have known two who had major psychiatric problems following their weddings. The stress can be substantial. One is a relative I am virtually certain is on the spectrum, yet she had the big fa-la-la-la-la wedding and got so stressed out she couldn't attend her own reception, couldn't go on her honeymoon, and just had to go into seclusion for a couple weeks. 150 or more guests including family who don't always get along. It was a big mistake to do that fancy wedding. The other is a lady who went into a bipolar crisis following her wedding and had to be hospitalized and miss work for three months.

So that's the flip side of bridezillas.

My own two weddings were as simple as could be. First one ended in divorce. This one will end in the grave.

=====

Edited to add: I was only asked to be a bridesmaid once ... and I declined.

This wedding costed 30 Millions of USD, the lights alone costed around 10M:

While one in four of the people are living in acute poverty.

Shame.

Is getting naked in weddings a common thing?

I'm fine with paper plates at my wedding. My primary concern is that the food and cake be good.

Is there such a thing as a Groomzilla?

Only if he doesn't mind sleeping on the floor during his wedding night...

Maybe their brides ask for a divorce within minutes after the I dos?

I attended a wedding where on the way back up the aisle, the new wife started telling the mew husband exactly what she thought of him, his best man, his ushers, his parents, his guests ... none of it was complimentary.

Then, at the reception, you could still hear her going on (and on and on and...) about how things were going to change now that she was in charge.

They spend one day on their honeymoon in Reno, Nevada.

They came back on separate flights.

...Given the past meaning of Reno as Divorcetown. USA,, that's kinda fitting :lol:

With it all being white on white on white I would first have gone to sit down and missed my chair, then I'd of

knocked food of my white plate onto the white table cloth because how can you see the edge of the plate.

I thought those rolls were boiled eggs at first

, like that's all the food they could afford after paying for everything

else. Her hat thing was pretty and they looked happy.

Another Bridezilla article:

Bridezilla Fattens Up Bridesmaids

Quote:

One anonymous bridezilla is ... claiming she secretly fattened up her two stunning sisters before their bridesmaid duties, as she desperately wanted to be the center of attention and escape her lifelong fear of being the plain sister on her big day ... adding that it stemmed from a lifelong feeling of competition with her older and younger siblings ...

At least she has a reason, if not an excuse ...

So she risked to cause her sisters to have diabetes just because she wants to the hottest.

What a s**thead.

If only there was some other way she could look like the bridesmaids.

Some people see people who are doing better than themselves and what to climb up to their level.
Other people see people who are doing better than themselves and want to drag them down to their level.
