Word of the week: Bridezilla
A bridezilla is a woman that turns into a monster when she?s about to get married. Hmmm… I wonder if anyone has used the word wifezilla…
bridezilla (bryd.ZIL.uh) n. A bride-to-be who, while planning her wedding, becomes exceptionally selfish, greedy, and obnoxious. Also: bride-zilla.
Apparently it?s often impossible to predict which women will turn into a bridezilla, even by their husbands to be. ?They are perfectly normal women ? until they get a ring. They run around screaming: ?it?s my day! Bow down and kiss my feet!? They demand attention, gifts and money and treat family and friends like servants,? said Noe Spaemme, co-author of ?Bridezilla: True Tales from Etiquette Hell?, when her book was launched in 2002.
