Dum, dum, duh, dum, dum, dum, dum dum… Do you think it is beyond cheesy that I have the “Wedding March” as the special ring tone that chimes out whenever my fiancé phones his wife-to-be? Do you think it is pathetic that I obsess over the precise shade of fuchsia for my bridesmaids, and scour the web for hours on end to find the perfect accessories? Am I about to lose my mind because I stay up at night, completely consumed with picking chocolate, white or even red velvet cake? I was never like this! I was the girl who would watch Bridezillas and have a good laugh at all those nuptial fanatics who would release doves and cry if the ice sculpture started melting. It’s ice! That’s what ice does, it melts! Okay, let me just tell you, from the moment you get that ring until you are back from the honeymoon, you will become an neurotic, lunatic BRIDEZILLA, no matter how cool you think you are. You may not be as animated as these girls who are posing for the cameras, but unless you Britney Spears your weddin’, it’s a tough process.
