Woe be me..

I dont think there's a more pathetic/sad/cursed bride than me

First,my mom insists on following me to make my wedding dress.Fine. But she never has time and keeps cancelling on me, so I quietly went with maidzilla for a first look-see.

Then Groomzilla and Bridezilla got into a huge emotional tangle re: wedding plans and went on hiatus. Things are barely back to normal even now..but we are getting there

I made an appointment this weekend with Anna of That Special Occasion to measure me for my dress.I need to see Groomzilla as soon as possible as I've missed him so terribly, and bridal dresses takes ages to make..up to two months.And my mom told me it was ok.

Fine.Today mom has decided that she is attending another wedding,thus will not have time for me.Dad piped in that maybe we could make it earlier. When I said no, he snorted that Anna was being a snub.

LIKE HELLO???She's got appointments laid out for weeks.Yeah,blame it on her popularity

I don't think there's another bride out there that is more pathetic than me. The only support of what is supposed to be the happiest occasion in my life that I seem to get is from maidzilla...who valiantly came to my rescue. SO it's Bridezilla and Maidzilla this weekend.

I could've just made that dress weeks ago when we were there instead of asking for a rush job now. If mom is not careful, she will never see her only daughter getting married.So much for support and parents escastic with planning their daughter's wedding.

Thankee drey...you're a real friend.

Bureaucracy revisited

Bridezilla visited the UK High Commission today...just a short courtesy visit-NOT! My interview was at 9am, so I was there by 8.40am. Little did I know I had to wait for nearly two hours!

No cameras, no phones...I nearly could not survive that 2-hour wait.It was filled to the brim with hopeful students, applying for student visas since the Uni season is starting again very very soon. There are three interview rooms, each with an interviewer waiting to scrutinize your file with a manifying glass.

One girl from China was just hysterical. Whilst inside interview room no. 2, she screamed and shouted in english to the interviewer.They were discussing parents salaries,her bank book ect in earnest like as if the world depended on it. It took nearly 30mins for her, and she came out crying..she thought that guy was going to reject her visa! After 10 mins of sobby tears she was called in again...and then she started screaming again! Hahahaha...this time in joy.She came out and just did a huge "YEA!!", complete with the victory jump and maniacal smile.I nearly clapped out of politeness.

By the time the clock striked 10am, I was getting antsy . Interviewer 1 and 3 did not seem to be producing approvals at all. Everyone that has gone through them were still waiting for their verdict. Interviewer 2 was the only one churning out any approvals. Or rather, everyone that went through him was asked clear and concise questions and he did not make people wait by asking them to sit down for a futher hour and calling on other applicants whilst he think about it.Which I think its just typical of bureaucracy.

As fate would have it, I was called upon by Interviewer 2. The funniest questions come out..like, did you fill up the form yourself, were you in the UK recently, is there anything else you want to show me?

Like....it's all in my application form already!

The best was him asking about Groomzilla's family. Out I came with the story of his parents,brother and step-siblings. Interviewer 2 asked me what was his brother's name and have I met him. Of course I've met him, and I added on that Broinlaw-zilla is a hottie..Now folks, tell me that he's not???!!

HOT LEH?? Okay, enough gawking.Lyndz right next to him will have Bridezilla for supper if she knows I've posted this up

Interviewer 2 chuckled and said that I better not tell Groomzilla.My response was that Groomzilla told my parents that I think Broinlaw-zilla's hot.Heh

Anyway, he asked a couple more questions about what sort of wedding am I planning and are my parents going over ect. ect. Then he kicked me out and told me he'd go over my documents again..being as anal as I am, documentation came up to be as thick as a concise dictionary!

5 mins later I was recalled.When he told me I was approved, I just stared at him as if he turned into a Godzilla..he stared back.This staring spat went on for another minute before I broke it with a signature Bridezilla smile.

Life's taken a turn for the better

Thank you, please come again.

I've heard somewhere that planning a wedding is usually so stressful that couples usually end up fighting,unhappy and depressed...not a good footing to start a happily ever after

Bridezilla and Groomzilla, has, unfortunately, fallen into this deathtrap.We have fallen so deep, we cannot see the light any longer. Planning this stressful event has gotten us at ends at each other and frankly unhappy. A lifechanging event this is, but right now, we are just so not in tuned with ourselves and each other that if we do not watch it, this might just not happen.

I'm taking a one week hiatus from the lives of the Zillas. In that time, Bridezilla and Groomzilla will be concentrating on what brought us together in the first place, the joy,the fun, the happiness and the love we shared.

For those who are in this stage of their lives as well, please remember...if you are not careful, there might not be a wedding after all that planning.

Forced cold feet

Bridezilla's day has gotten from bad to worse.

Visa application has been denied. Well, not denied,but the good people at the British High Commision has requested the pleasure of my company on the 28th for a personal interview at the High Commision Visa Section

Another day of waiting for the bureaucrats. Sigh, so much fun. This time, to be accompanied by Groomzilla's bank statement for the past 3 months.I did not notice that what he had given me was bank statements from March to May!!!! Shall not listen to Groomzilla's "Nahhh, they won't need it, it's ok, don't bother..There will be NO issues whatsoever with your visa application"

GEEZE.

Groomzilla's bank account has a balance of 0, as we have been paying off quite a number of things. Mine's depleting as well, due to escalating costs of a wedding. I have a hunch that my request for visa will be denied.

And guess what? Stupid Carat Club is now telling me that my perfectly fine faxed handwritten note to be engraved on the ring is not clear enough for their dumb machine and they are disregarding my request for a handwritten engraving. Which, being the dumbass they are, did NOT even ask me there to write down my request for the engraving

Perfect. Bridezilla don't want to get married anymore. Screw all this and the happily ever after...I'd be lucky if I can start off happy.

Let me throw this at you..

..yeah, if it was a bunch of nails!

One of the most important thing of the whole bridal outfit would be the flowers. Personally, I would not want to carry a bunch of orchids on the day as it is just so tacky and...purple. Again, this is only MY PERSONAL OPINION

So off Bridezilla go,skipping to the horizons in search of the perfect bloom. Maidzilla reminded me of the florist that Groomzilla uses; pureseed.com.my. All in perfect timing.

Price wise it's quite reasonable but delivery charges are RM50 to Penang. Aw heck, better than getting a bunch of carnations and bunga kekwa (chrysantemums) and making the Zillas look like they're attending a funeral or going to the temple.

I like D for the feathers...how appropriate..

PS: Yes, this went on the wrong blog.

Groomzilla's ring

Groomzilla has expensive tastes. Why can't we just go to the local Poh Kong or even diamonds and platinum for wedding bands?

But NO! This horror of a groom insists that we need to go to some high street brand to get the band. The more expensive the better

So, we ended up in Cartiers. Bridezilla,being the cheena, exclaimed, " Why is that ring stamped with the CoffeeBean & Tea Leaf logo??" Nope, Cartiers do not sponsor Coffee Bean, it's the Cartier's brand. I'm such an embarrasment.

Cartier's was way too expensive to be worth it so we moved on over to Selberen. No winners there as Groomzilla hated all of it. Off to Bridezilla's favourite Tiffany's & Co. ONE hit...RM 5k for a plain platinum band. *Gasp*! I had to drag him out of Tiffany's, which is a first!

And then we hit ground zero at the LoveDiamond in KLCC aka The Carat Club. The crown jewel of the Malaysian jewelry market. But of course. Groomzilla likes pretending that he's posh and not a zilla at all.

End result? The controvesial Brad Pitt ring. For those in the know, this was Brad & Jenn's wedding band designed exclusively by Brad. Daimiani reproduced it en masse and was sued by the chunk of a hunk for USD50mil. Oh poor hunk...design got copied didnt it?

Of course, Groomzilla's without the Daimiani up front, which sounds so cheena anyway.

Personally, I think its a bad idea to be starting off life with a ring design that was worn by a publicly divorced couple. But on my finger another ring will set...heehee. So it's ok

Bridezilla's being very,very bitter about this because she just put in a deposit yesterday to custom make the said ring. Total damage by Groomzilla's stampede? RM 3500 for a platinum band with around 8 diamonds around it.

Kill me, kill me now. I want to get silver with cubic zirconium. Like as if he can tell the diff!

Introducing...Groomzilla

Now, my little blonde Groomzilla has ideas of his own of what this circus is to be.Lots of ideas. Groomzilla and Bridezilla have fought countless times over the details of this horror of a wedding....here are some:

1. Groomzilla wants karaoke. Bridezilla, being the new-age cheena, wants nothing to do with that
2. Groomzilla wants Bridezilla to come decked like a chinese restaurant waitress complete with crotch -high slits.. Bridezilla, being practical, wants to come in a bikini
3. Groomzilla wants "feng tau" happy techno. Bridezilla, with her excellent taste in music *sic, wants nothing to do with that
4. Groomzilla doesn't want to wear tails to the wedding in UK. Bridezilla wants to be a princess with the whole nine yards of top hats and walking up the aisle (even though neither are christians)
5. Bridezilla's culture calls for the groom to pay. Groomzilla's culture calls for the bride to pay.
6. Bridezilla wants to down hard liquor. Groomzilla wants to guzzle beer.
7. Groomzilla wants to plan the circus. Bridezilla's insisting that this is her party. It is hers,it's hers, it's hers!!!Go away!
8. Bridezilla wants to get a rough headcount before invites are sent out due to food and accomodation reservations. Groomzilla refuses to ask.

C'mon now folks. We need your help. Please vote.

Family fun

Bridezilla is furious.

Grrr.

The only reason I am having my wedding here is because my parents insists on making it a whole big deal.If left up to me,I would have run away to tioman with a few close friends.

And I am bloody paying for it all BY MYSELF.

Pathetic but true..but hey,I said I would foot the bill so that I can do things my way.

And then..

They have the nerve to tell me..."Aiya you wan to plan this plan that...go hire your own wedding planner lar"

Fuck.

It costs about RM10k to hire wedding planner.Is it not enough that I am spending about RM20k+ for the whole thing? Mind you,that can buy me a new kancil.Now they are asking me to hire a bloody wedding planner because I have specific preference on flowers and cake?And all Ive requested is that they HELP me make reservations nearer to the date?

I bloody lost it and just told them off.Fine.Don't bother then.I'd plan a small one all by myself and screw everyone else. Cause get this, more than HALF the invitees are relatives that I haven't seen for donkey years anyway...so it won't make a bloody difference to me.I dont even KNOW who they are.And then they said "just jokin watt..why so serious ah.."

It's not funny mate. Get this, it is MY DAY of being a princess and besides, who have ever heard of a princess paying for her own ?Well, I am. And apparently it aint enough.

And they've decided they dont like me in green.Neither do they like me in dark red. Both the colors that I have chosen for the wedding. But again, guess who's footin the bill?

ME ME ME ME ME!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgggghhh

Hey, I guess the family intereference has started.Am I glad mom in law is far far away.

Introducing....maidzilla

Introducing...Bridezilla's sidekick and her blog


This is the reason why we get on so well...we blogged about the same thing at the same time.Only difference is that today's moving day, so no time to elaborate. Go see Drey's..:)

The reason for shivering toes

Further explaination on WHY I need a brand new blog for my verbal diarrhoea. Taken off my other blog. Happy understanding

Reason of being

Well, hello world.

Like most bloggers, I have a life, a family, real-life friends, virtual-friends , multi-blogs and most importantly, a camera. And of course that addicition of writing everything you experience and make sure the whole wide world knows all about it.

This blog has only one reason for existence.To keep track of the most important event of my whole life. Rest assured that I have a whole other life out there that is not related to weddings and marriage.

So, welcome one, welcome all..to the world of a crazy bride to be and her fast track journey into adulthood.

And yes, I am afraid. Very very afraid. Won't you???

If your answer is no, go away..I hate you..*sniff*
