Bridezilla, my wand is outta magic

If she got a gown that was cut in the Minoan style, the "stretch and lean back" wouldn't expose her. Of course, there's a SLIGHT downside - she'd already be exposed.

But is that a downside...?

Determining the answer to that question may require photographs!

I'd suggest heeled flip-flops, but I can tell that she's not the type to take suggestions well.

Ah, the sulk. I guess that's worked their whole life, so why not now? Maybe if she sulks long enough gravity will bend around her?

Those flip-flops rock!

There is supposedly a reason behind this, in that it's easier to adjust according to measurements, compared to something that has sleeves (can someone back me up on this?)

My plan for if I ever get married involves a dress with sleeves.

Speaking of wedding dresses that buck the trend, check this one out: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...RTY-bucks.html

She made it on her daily bus commute over 5 months and it took her $30 to do so. Best part is that she CAN actually wear it again, with different linings.

WOW, that is a beautiful dress. She has quite a bit of skill, she could make decent money off of those.

5 days a week, about 2 hours (there and back, high end) times 4 months, throw in extra time at home. Maybe 50-70 hours of work.

I find myself wondering what the outcome would be if more grooms participated in the wedding planning and saw the Bridezilla in action.

BUT it's also the grooms day too!! Why they don't participate more in the wedding planning is what surprises me.

Probably because they know the bride will shoot down every suggestion they make, so it's easier just to let her have her way.

Spot on!

(And I suspect most guys just don't like planning parties.)

Depends on the party. They love planning Super Bowl parties. Beer, large screen TV, beer, munchies, beer, several friends and beer.

Weddings? Lace and chiffon and girly-girl stuff and lots of money? Nah, leave that to the bride-to-be.

When I worked at Vicky's Not Tellin' -- way back in the day -- we would occasionally have a Zilla lumber in with a dress she swore would fit her ... if we would only produce the magical undergarment she knew we had "in the back" that would convert a size 12 into a size 6 on demand. And be comfortable, of course.

At that time, the toughest foundation garments we sold were contraptions called "bustiers," which were very lightly constructed and really meant for the wedding night. But even today's heavier-duty corsets can't perform miracles. I just wish I had the great line you used as your thread title!

If I were to have the ultra expensive wedding of my dreams, I would probably do a destination wedding at a dude ranch with horses, a rodeo and a huge BBQ ... I absolutely detest frilly lacy pastel girly shit. Getting dressed up fancy, unless it is in medieval or renaissance clothing is the absolute last thing on my to do list. [believe me, a gonne, chemise and cotehardie are wonderfully comfy. Even elizabethan with a pair of bodys/corset is actually comfortable.]

It's called intelligently choosing one's battles...Yes, I speak from experience.
