Wedding Rings – The Rise Of Bridezilla

Weddings can be stressful: getting the right wedding rings, planning the big day, finding the perfect dress can all lead to temporary madness; the manic drive to lose weight to fit the dress, the search for perfect make-up, nails and skin, the huge cost of the wedding rings, champagne and food. It’s no wonder a term has been invented to describe the crazed bride: Bridezilla.
 

Finding the perfect wedding rings

So when it comes to finding the right wedding rings, the pressure is on. Luckily, it’s possible to buy exquisite platinum wedding rings, white gold wedding rings and gold wedding rings online. Buying wedding rings online is a way to take out the stress, hassle and can even save you money, freeing up your budget for other much-needed bridal necessities.
 

Bridezilla – The pressure’s on

Bridezilla is a generic term used to describe the woman who becomes obsessed with all things weddings. A mixture of the words ‘bride’ and the famous cartoon monster ‘Godzilla’, it was first used in The Boston Globe in 1995. The term was perhaps inspired by movies such as Muriel’s Wedding that examined the pathological obsession some women have over their Big Day. Modern Bride magazine picked up the word Bridezilla in a feature story, and ran a carton series on the perfectionist bride popularising the term. Getting the best wedding rings money can buy is just one of a Bridezilla’s demands, Wikipedia’s definition of a Bridezilla is:  “...a difficult, unpleasant, perfectionist bride who leaves aggravated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake. A bridezilla is obsessed with her wedding as her perfect day and will disregard the feelings of the family, bridesmaids and even her groom in her quest for the perfect wedding.”
 

Wedding rings last a lifetime

Now the term Bridezilla has been adopted by bridal magazines and blogs dedicated to the condition. It’s understandable that a bride wants perfect wedding rings – after all wedding rings will be worn long after the Big Day. But some of the things blamed for turning normally rational women into Bridezillas include:

• The Barbie phenomenon – as little girls we’re indoctrinated with the perfection of blonde Barbie dolls, combined with fairy tales and princesses, is it any wonder our wedding expectations are so high?
• The wedding rings – If you don’t get a bling enough ring you know it shouldn’t matter (can’t buy love, right?) BUT, in a Bridezilla’s eyes – size, cost and the bling factor do matter!
