Bridezilla Meaning

Bridezilla (noun) - A bridezilla is a bride whose behaviour in the planning of her wedding is demanding, obsessive and often unreasonable. That's the polite version, the true bridezilla meaning is simply a bride that has crossed over to the dark side and where once stood a calm, kind and happy bride, now stands Darth Vader, in a white dress, and Darth's really not happy about the catering.

"I find your lack of pink choux buns that look like shoes disturbing."

I Quit!
