The Bridechilla

The Bridechilla

So let’s set the scene. You recently got engaged and for some strange reason everywhere you seem to look there is wedding references. There are ads on the radio, in the paper and on TV that keep reminding you of your upcoming nuptials. There is even countless amount of wedding shows on TV like ‘Say Yes To The Dress’, ‘Don’t Tell The Bride’, ‘Four Weddings’ and of course ‘Bridezillas’.

All of these shows and in particular the last one has you fearing that you could be a Bridezilla! Fear not there is another type of bride you can be but you’ll have to ask yourself, could you be the Bridechilla?

The Bridechilla is a bride that if she was any more laid back she’d be asleep. She’s so cool that she pees ice cubes. The Bridechilla has no freaks outs and has no stress. It’s all about the attitude with the Bridechilla. She knows there’s plenty of time to organise the dress, the wedding day, the band, the DJ etc. The Bridezilla however is like a sheet of paper in origami, she folds under pressure.

A Bridechilla cares only for one thing and that’s the fact she is marrying the love of her life. A bridechilla says things like this:

To the bridesmaids – “I don’t care what you wear for my wedding…just find something you all like” and “Wear white or nude shoes or whatever you all agree on”. To a lot of bridesmaids this can be actually very irritating but as the bride will say, just go with the flow.

And to anyone that asks her what type of bride she’ll be – “I’m the best kind of bride, I just want to be happy”.

A Bridchilla is also the type of woman that will pick out her wedding dress in 1 day. She won’t spend weeks and months pondering of what looks better, the cut, the length, the fabric, should I wear a veil etc. She’ll try on a dress and go yep I look good in this, I’ll take it. Do you think you’re that type?

She knows there will probably be some sort of drama on the day but she knows it won’t be anything big that can’t be sorted. At this point you’re probably picturing some sort of hippie, barefoot in a field for her wedding and with flowers in her hair. But you’re wrong. I’ve been to the wedding of a Bridechilla.

She just go rid of the fuss, decided early where she wanted her wedding, knew she had enough time to save up for it and booked it. Everything was looked after then, from the food to the music and even the flowers. She just had to pick her dress and show up. I actually wore shorts and flip flops to the wedding. It was fantastic, I won’t lie.

Now I know there will be plenty of women who have been thinking about their big day for years. They probably have every little detail picked out but what I would say to those women, to really enjoy the whole experience, bring a bit of chill to the proceedings. As Bob Marley said “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.
