Observing recent pop-culture events, I have concluded that there is a special, sub-set of Bridezillas, that I’m dubbing the ‘Britney Bridezilla.’

The problem with the ‘Britney Bridezilla’ is as much with the people around her, as the bride, herself. Mind you, this is nothing new, just a different way to look at the problem, and address it with the bride.

Anyone who watched the MTV Video Music Awards probably thought several things.

In fact, Britney has been fired by her attorney, and this week, by her management team. Over time, she had become completely unmanageable. Perhaps because she had only been hearing ‘yes’ for so long that once she started getting some actual push-back from those around her, she simply didn’t want to hear it.

Unfortunately, too many people around ‘the bride’ do the same thing. “It’s your day,” we exclaim. “You can have whatever you want. It will be perfect.” – NONSENSE!! You owe it to the bride, as a wedding vendor, a family or bridal party member, or just a friend, to not buy-in to this nonsense. To be a good vendor, friend, or adviser, sometimes you must stand up on a table and shout, “NO! You’re wrong. What are you thinking?”

As a vendor, too often, one worries about ‘not making the sale’ or ‘alienating the client.’ Don’t be a weakling. Find a diplomatic, straight forward way to save the bride from her own ignorance or poor judgment.

In the end, she’ll thank you for it.
