Wedding Stress & Stupid People.

So its 30 days to go from today and I am stressed.  Not because of invites, dresses, flowers or any of the other things one needs to be organised and faffed over, but because of stupid/selfish/obnoxious/no common sense/annoying* people.  I understand that my wedding is not everyone's  priority and life shouldn't come to a screaming halt because I am getting married, but basic common courtesy would be most appreciated from my loved ones and professional contacts!

My heightened emotional state really does not help matters when there seems to be a new occurrence of something bad happening on a daily basis and peoples general lack of compassion and understanding making matters worse.  

I now detest the phrase "Bridezilla"  because I have come to realise its unfair.  In some cases it is well deserved due to the fact that some bride to be's are just psychopaths, but most of the ladies I have been speaking to are put under so much pressure and endure unrealistic amounts of stress and anxiety (me included) that they have no choice but to crack at some point.  Does this breakdown deserve them the title of bridezilla?  So if someones car continuously breaks down and leaves them stranded and in tears, causing them to have a little rant on occasion, does this make them a carzilla?  No.

So if my heightened stress caused by people behaving with some of the above mentioned traits is cause for me to be tagged a Bridezilla then so be it.  I shall wear that title as a badge of honour, however those who are guilty of causing stress oughta be ashamed of themselves and hide under the stairs because a scorned "Bridezilla"  is not a person you want to cross.  

Heres where I get all wordy...

I like this quote and thought I would amend to make it fit-for-purpose.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman Bridezilla scorned"

I then went one step further...

Nails may get broken and noses may hurt.  

Feelings may become bruised and ego's burst.  

Smugness will be wiped and jesting slapped.

Haters will hate and stupidity snapped.

If you rile the bride

You scorn the groom

A chief bridesmaid will come down on you

And force you from the room

The bride is fragile and her sanity she will mourn

You are in the wrong and your pride will be torn

She needs understanding, patience and love

To help her create memories she can be proud of

On a lighter note, this lady Cheryl Texiera has made a series of wedding related monologues which cracked me up.  The stuff she comes out with is all too true.  If you are planning a wedding I sincerely recommend you take time out to watch her work.  It will be good for your sanity.  Trust me.

Unsettled

So its 67 days to the wedding from today.  Over the last few weeks I have become a crafting machine, powering my way through the projects like a woman possessed   There was no stopping me and I was taking no prisoners.  Why?  Because I had it in my little brain there was too much to do and not enough time.  I also had the grim realisation that I had a million other non-wedding related things that needed my attention too.  The list of stuff to do for both home and wedding is frankly overwhelming I think I will probably do one of two things.  1- Go nuts and sit in a corner gently rocking or 2- come up with an in depth plan of action involving timelines and lists.  

Neither of which is particularly appealing at present so I have come up with a 3rd option.  Do nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Nada.  Diddly squat.  Nowt.  Im going to sit on my bum and lead a normal life for the next 2 weeks, purely because I want to.  I may decide to have a bash at making some of the stuff Ive been pinning on Pinterest purely for entertainment purposes.  I might decide to watch a box set.  I may even go wild and start playing Assasins Creed which has been sat gathering dust for a few years.  Either way Im not doing anything weddingy. 

I'm not you know!

No, I'm not....

Yea!  Did you see that?  I didnt do anything weddingy!  ultimate self control!  All I have to do is keep doing nothing until February.

Do I think anyone will even notice?  

No.

*sigh*

At lease my sanity might come back from where its been hiding!
