Your fiance has turned into a brideszilla and you need help.
Here is the story. We all have those friends or fiance who are lovely, normal and wonderful...until an engagement ring is placed on her finger. Suddenly, they turn into crazy bridezillas with only one goal in mind: The Perfect Wedding. Yes, we are talking about ME!
Your wedding is coming, and your lovely girlfriend has turned into a full-fledged bridezilla. She is irrational and hostile and hardly the sweet girl you met. Here are a few tips you can do to help her and yourself.
Prevention is key. Before you dive into the planning stage of your wedding, chat with your bride-to-be about how you plan to tackle it. And by you, that means both of you. Have a good talk about what each of you will be responsible for, and an exchange of vows (so to speak) not to let the enormity of the task ahead get the best of you and cast a storm cloud over one of the greatest events of your lives. If she doesn’t bring this up, be proactive. Establishing a plan of action will benefit you if things get out of hand later. You can simply refer to your “initial agreement” to get you back on track.
Take Some of the Responsibilities
Part of the reason your fiancé is so stressed is because of the huge amount of work that has to be done in planning a wedding. Let her know that you are able to help pick up the tuxedo's or call the limo service. This takes some of the responsibility off of her and she will have less to worry about. Your bridezilla will not only feel a little relief from her workload, but she will also have faith that you will be there for her in future crisis's. Also, if you say you'll do it, then your going to have to do it or else, well you have been warned.
Be as Available as Possible
Your bride-to-be needs to feel like you will be nearby or at least a phone call away if something goes wrong in the planning. If a wedding related problem or emergency happens she needs you there to vent to. She may also need an on-the-spot alternative if something falls through. If you are not there to hear her complain or give her advice then she may steer her anger towards you.
Listen to Her
Your bridezilla may be rubbing your family the wrong way, but she is still going to be your wife and you will have to be with her everyday. Women love a man who can listen to their problems so show her you are there for her by listening to her. Show her how good of a husband you will be by listening to her talk about how difficult a time she is having, i know this might be hard to do for most men, but this will pay off.
