Dear Sigh Wedding & Event Planning,

My name is D…. and I am writing you because I just don’t know what to do. I am sitting in my car confused, I am confused because I am wondering what has happened to the sweet woman that I proposed to. It seems that from the moment I popped the question it has been nothing but, “WHAT ABOUT ME.”

I can’t hold a conversation with her without being bombarded with wedding details.  And when I don’t respond with glee, I am accused of not caring about the wedding as much as she does. The conversation/argument often ends with her bursting into tears and mumbling “I feel so alone”.

I am very supportive of K… and I want our wedding to be nice but I am wondering if she is slowly transforming into Miss Bridezilla before my eyes.  Am I about to marry bridezilla?

Please help!

D. Walker

Sigh Wedding & Event Planning,

Dear D… when it comes to weddings, brides can become very emotional because frankly, they are dealing with so many emotions at once. They are SUPER excited, nervous and scared at the same time. You must understand that this is a new venture and everything must be perfect.  

The above concoction of emotions is enough to transform anyone! Unfortunately for you, society has enabled the “me” syndrome that overtakes most brides to be. It does sound like she may need to bring it down just a notch!

However, words are important. Take what she is communicating to you seriously. The real issue seems to be that she needs more support.  This is one of the most important events of a woman’s life  and her desire is to share her excitement.  Who’s in her corner besides you? Don’t assume anything. You wouldn’t believe how jealousy (especially between friends) can intrude and unexpectantly pounce on true happiness. You just may be all that she has, literally!

Our suggestion, plan a quiet evening and at the right moment ask her to elaborate more on why she feels alone. Your sweet woman will tell you the truth.  Reassure her that you are interested in the wedding plans but you need balance.  Besides encouraging her to hire a Professional Bridal Consultant, suggest allotting a certain amount of time each day when towards discussing wedding plans.

At the conclusion of your conversation we are confident that you will have a clear answer to your bridezilla suspicion!
