65. Short but deadly
My best friend turned out to be a bridezilla. She is normally a short (5 feet tall), giggly, fun-to-be-around person EXCEPT the whole time she was planning her wedding. She became a total control freak and nothing made her happy.
On the day of her bachelorette party, she didn’t even try to have fun. We had a spa day planned, followed by dinner at her favorite restaurant (we had asked her mom to ask her subtly/not so subtly), and an adult demonstration (it is a bachelorette after all). She ended up complaining the whole day, and when we got to the restaurant she said: “I don’t know why you guys picked this place, I don’t like it that much.”
During the adult demonstration, she didn’t even participate. Let me tell you, the mood was not fun. On the day of her actual wedding, she screamed at the hairdresser because she wasn’t getting the hair right and made her restart at least 5 times.
She had decided beforehand who would carpool with who but we decided to go against it and pick who we wanted to carpool with. She was furious at us. She made a scene before taking the bridal photos. After that, it was all a show. In front of everyone she was playing the “Oh this day is absolutely perfect just as I planned it to be.”
If you ask her today how her wedding day went, she just says that it went by too quickly and doesn’t remember much. Last note. As bridesmaids, we must have spent upwards of $500 each for the dress, makeup, hair, and events. We never got a thank you.
I’d love to say that she went back to her normal fun-loving giggly self after that, but the reality is she remained the control freak and we have drifted apart.
