Okay, so last night I was forced to watch the show for the first time. My instinct? Producer propaganda! Or on the flip, there are women out there with seriously, serious issues that should be addressed before marriage. But that's just my opinion and here's a confession...(I have issues too.) It's just that a bulk of the scenes in one of the episodes (I lasted through three) seemed so orchestrated it was unbelievable. Plus the incentive for these bridezillas is a trip to Jamaica...better put your act on I say.

Well so much for the show!

Most of us don't think this can happen to us...but never say never. You spend months and months planning your wedding and then woah!!! As your wedding day approaches, nerves become undone, temper flares, bouquets are tossed, etcetera, etcetera...you are changing before your very eyes.

Seriously speaking....

Here are some sane tips for you courtesy of Utterly Fabulous

1. Plan ahead. If you know that the caterer is contractually obligated to bring you food or else risk losing thousands of dollars, guess what? Odds are, they're going to show up. Don't waste your time on the big day. Plan the wedding details ahead of time, confirm a week ahead, and relax during your nuptials!

2. Learn to meditate. We swear to goodness--this one works! You've gotta start practicing ahead of time, but it's well worth it. When you're not sure where the ring bearer is and your manicure is a disaster, take deep breaths, focus on the in-and-out feel your breathing, and allow all the negative energy and stress to leave your body through each exhale. As you breathe, visualize your walk down the aisle going perfectly.

3. Have a backup plan. If you know that 10 wedding guests are going to have professional quality digital cameras, you won't turn into Bridezilla when the photographer's camera breaks. (And yes, this has happened to someone we know, and we still wish him bad wedding photography karma.)

4. Have a snack. A lot of brides (and we mean a lot!) go on drastic diets before the wedding. With the expensive wedding dress, wedding accessories, the honeymoon, and the sheer craziness of the wedding plans, it's not surprise. But when your wedding day arrives, for God's sake, eat! Not eating may cause a rapid drop in your blood sugar, and before you realize it, you're Bridezilla, screaming at the pastor. Don't take it out on Father Smith; have a granola bar or even some hard candy for a quick sugar burst.

REMEMBER: Bridezilla's are made not born!!
