We all know how much time and effort goes into planning a wedding; everything down to the tiniest detail like what colour the tissue box is in the ladies toilet! But we also know, some brides-to-be can take things a little step closer to crazy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some brides find themselves caught between opposing pressures like wanting the day to be perfect but also having to deal with the financial reality, not to mention your mum or in-laws giving their opinions on how a wedding should be. Psychologically, this can sometimes lead to stress (which we are in no way undermining!), but what is interesting is that fine line between the bride and the \u2018zilla.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here we have created a simple test to find out how close you really are to \u201cbridezilla territory\u201d!<\/p>\n

Take the test\u2026<\/h2>\n

    \n
  1. )\u00a0 Take a breath and then ask for exact names so you can update every list, EVER<\/li>\n

    2.\u00a0 Your maid-of-honor pulls you aside 5 months before the wedding and tells you, quite excitedly, that she is pregnant! Do you\u2026<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. )\u00a0 Work out her due date and consider moving your summer wedding to winter, everyone loves Christmas, sure!<\/li>\n

    3. )\u00a0 Stand in shock, wondering how she could do this to you<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      3.\u00a0 It\u2019s budget time and after a long night of finance talk, it\u2019s not looking good for those favours you REALLY want. Do you\u2026<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. )\u00a0 Offer to return your wedding shoes for a cheaper version to free up some money<\/li>\n
      2. )\u00a0 Let go of the idea and come up with something more practical<\/li>\n
      3. )\u00a0 Tell your beloved not to worry, then order the expensive favours anyway (because they look good, dang it!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        4.\u00a0 On average, how many hours a day do you spend on Pinterest \/ Instagram \/ Facebook looking up dream venues\u2026<\/h3>\n

           <\/p>\n

          5.\u00a0 You have just returned from your cousin\u2019s wedding. Do you\u2026<\/h3>\n

            6.\u00a0 You have just agreed on the first dance song but your fianc\u00e9 insists he doesn\u2019t need dance lessons and wants to \u201cwing it\u201d. Do you\u2026<\/h3>\n

                \"\"<\/p>\n

                Mostly a<\/h3>\n

                You\u2019re a bride-pushova!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                Do you struggle with being assertive? Sometimes we can misinterpret assertiveness with meanness and can fall into the trap of being a pushover. The main thing to remember is: knowing your own mind is a blessing and the ability to speak up for what you believe in will stand to you in good stead. Trust that you have loving people around you who only wants to see you truly happy.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                Things seem to fall into place at the right time for you and if they don\u2019t, it wasn\u2019t meant to be. The advantage of having a positive mindset whilst planning a wedding means that everyone will actually enjoy the process! Of course, there will be times when stresses may arise but if you concentrate on the reason you are getting married in the first place, everything should be just fine.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                \"\"<\/h2>\n

                Mostly c<\/h3>\n

                You are a bridezilla!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                It\u2019s your way, or the highway! Ever since you were little you have dreamt of the perfect wedding. It can be difficult communicating your vision when you feel so emotional about the topic (and let\u2019s face it, a girls wedding is a pretty major topic!).
