Devan: Isn’t this fun? I love that we get to register for all the wedding presents we want.
Jason: Yeah, the registry is pretty cool. I mean, I didn’t realize there were so many kinds of towels out there. Sizes, and colors…
Devan: And don’t forget the thread count. We have to make sure we get the right thread count.
Jason: Yeah. I never thought of that before.
Devan: OK, let’s see here…
Jason: What about those? They look nice. The price is good.
Devan: Those? Have you lost your mind? Those are terrible! I hate that color. And look at the thread count. That’s pathetic!
Jason: OK, sorry. You know, maybe you should just pick out the towels. It seems like it’s really important to you.
Devan: What, are you saying that it doesn’t matter to you? Are you saying that the towels that we have for the rest of our lives don’t matter to you? Do you even care about registration? Do you even care about this wedding?
Jason: Yes. I care about the wedding. I think you’re overeating here just a little.
Devan: So now I’m overreacting? OK. Well, that’s just great.
Jason: Oh my God.
Jeff: Hey, bud. Sounds like you’ve got a bridezilla on your hands.
Jason: A bride-what?
Jeff: Bridezilla. Look, it’s a scientifically proven fact that the moment a woman gets engaged, she loses it. She starts going nuts all over the littlest things.
Jason: I don’t know. I think Devan’s just under a lot of pressure. I mean, planning a wedding isn’t easy.
Jeff: It’s supposed to be the best day of your life. You’re throwing the biggest party of your life. That would be stress anybody out.
Jason: So what do I do?
Jeff: Take it into your own hands, man. You need to turn into King Kong.
Jason: That doesn’t even make sense.
Jeff: Whatever. Have it your way.
Jason: All right. Thanks for the advice, man. I’m just gonna go buy some flowers until this whole thing blows over.
Jeff: These towels are hideous. The thread count is nothing.

Jason and Devan are filling out their wedding registry. They are looking at towels. Jason sees some he likes, but Devan thinks the thread count is pathetic. They get in a fight, and she leaves.
Jeff arrives and tells Jason that Devan has turned into bridezilla. She is being demanding and unreasonable about the wedding. Jason doesn’t know what he should do. Jeff suggests that he become King Kong, a monster that fights Godzilla in a movie. Jason says he thinks he should just buy some flowers.
Do you think Devan is being a bridezilla? Have you ever encountered a bridezilla?

The preparations to the wedding drive us crazy, because we would like to have the most perfect wedding in the world! As for me, I was not like the bride in the dialog. The bridezilla did not visit me I tried to take all preparations easy. I think the preparations to the wedding or the very wedding is not so important in our lives, as it may seems. The most important thing is to keep your love and family after the wedding till the end of your life.

I can understand the reatction of her. After all the wedding is very big day for most of people. If I were in her shoe, I may react in the same way. However, I would probally tell myself at the same time relax and take it easy. |
