    I haven't been too bad with freak outs but I did almost lose it when our invitations kept screwing up in the printer and we were running out of extra copies to use.

    He had his first groomzilla moment the day after we got engaged, when we started talking about where to have the wedding. We had talked about a possible destination wedding to Arizona, but once it was real, we had to talk about how unrealistic it was. He flipped out about having a winter wedding in Vancouver, because it was "for sure going to rain and he'd hate his wedding day forever"... Since then he calmed down and started getting excited about everything but the weather (still possibly going to rain), but our location looks awesome in the rain/fog too, so we aren't freaking out.

    My big bridezilla moment hasn't happened yet. I'm saving it for the hill I'm willing to die on. It will happen, I'm sure... Just hasn't happened yet.

    I had more of an emotional breakdown moment than a bridezilla moment over picking venues fairly early on (within a month of getting engaged). I was feeling the pressure to decide quickly since we had a lot of out of town guests looking to book flights and schedule leave and couldn't make up my mind.

    I haven't bridezilla'd yet, but I'm still pretty early in the process. I'm hoping I won't but all the stress will probably come and I'll snap at someone

    Had a couple close calls, but it's more having my foot down on certain situations.

    Neither of us have had one yet! We haven’t had anybody try to impose their ideas on us either; I feel like that has helped us stay calm

    Not so much a bridezilla moment, as much as just putting my foot down. As soon as we got engaged, both our mothers had very specific ideas of what our wedding should be like, and I shot them both down pretty quickly.

    From that point forward, we share very little information about our plans. So far, so good!

    I don't know if I've been an outright Bridezilla but I've been close maybe?

    When we first got engaged, I picked my bridesmaids and decided against asking my FSIL to be a bridesmaid. It's caused some problems where my FMIL is very upset with me/my FH about it (even still 9 months later). However, I did not budge on having her as a bridesmaid.


    My FBIL also announced about 2 weeks ago that he was planning on moving the morning of our wedding and wants my FH to help him move. I'm trying very hard to contain my bridezilla on that one.

    This happened about 6 weeks ago when my FMIL and FSIL insisted on reviewing out venue contract. It went through both their hands and my FBIL's as well, sent back to me with 20 questions each, then FMIL and FSIL insisted on visiting the venue with us. I felt pretty bridezilla with them because this was getting to be a little too much.

    Very early in because of the drama that people were causing. I lost it because certain people were spiteful towards us and weren't happy for us and then another was lying to me about things and got caught.

    I honestly don’t think I’ve gone bridezilla at all. I’m pretty firm on what I want and no one is going to try to tell me how my day should go, but I haven’t snapped at anyone.

    I haven't had a bridezilla moment. I've only had to put my foot down a couple times but I was calm and within reason. I feel like I'll have it in 2 to 1 month before the weddinf for sure.

    I don't think I really had one to be honest. My husband and mum kept me pretty grounded.
