I hear she has another TV appearance... #bridezillakaren

She was an hour late to her own rehearsal dinner, and one of her bridesmaids called and asked, "Where you at?" Her response, "It don't matta. It don't start till I get there."
I've been repeating it at every opportunity all day. Sometimes I think these women must be acting, playing it up for the cameras. The behavior is really so terrifically un-self aware and repugnant I find it hard to believe they could sustain any relationships if they were really like that. #bridezillakaren

I'm not talking about pre-wedding jitters, stress or nerves. I'm talking about asking people to lose weight, telling people their too fat or ugly to be on your train or in pics, yelling at your friends, disrespecting people. If you really want to start your married life off alienating those close to you go ahead. Otherwise, this shit has got to end, I'm so sick of being in weddings/hearing about weddings and having to bite my tongue because people are rude, inconsiderate and want what they want without being concerned about cost both financial and emotional. Enough!

I'm not quite yet at the age where my friends are marrying off (it will be a while, they all need to finish med school, etc. first), but I have confidence none of them will act like this. Then again, I also choose my female friends carefully, to the point that sometimes I think that, if given the opportunity, they'll just visit the JP and spring to take their friends on a vacation rather than invest the moola in a one day shit show.
I was really struck while watching this clip that none of those women stood up to her BS. Either they thought:
1) She was justified because of the perceived social standing of the men they were interacting with (which means they're equally terrible) -or-
2) She was justified because "it's her day," as you mentioned.
Who. could. think. this. behavior. would. ever. be. ok????? #bridezillakaren

3) They didn't want to call her out, because they were scared she'd turn on them, and they wouldn't be in the "cool" crowd any longer.
I recall this situation well from high school. #bridezillakaren

Regardless, a classy person is someone who walks into a room and projects an air of confidence and poise and makes everyone feel comfortable....doesn't have a damn thing to do with money. Also did you see the look on her friends faces, i doubt she has 'real' friends, they probably just tolerate her because she rich. I pity her.

When I was little, I didn't understand the difference between old money and nouveau riche, as described by the Patmans and Fowlers in Sweet Valley High. Now I do. #bridezillakaren

See, I was under the impression that almost everyone makes $9/hour (or less!) at some point in their lives, unless mommy and daddy are giving them money for free. I mean, I'm an attorney now, but I waited tables, was a hostess, washed dishes at a pizza place, etc. until I was one. I wonder what her deal was...hmmm.... #bridezillakaren

However, she does have ridiculously good hair. I mean, super nice hair. #bridezillakaren

How is it that women like this are getting engaged? Is it really just looks and sex appeal? Do their partners/spouses feel ashamed? #bridezillakaren

This is how the uber-douchebags of the world procreate. #bridezillakaren

The meek shall inherit the earth
and
Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me
It's the 'nine dollar an hour' people who make this earth rotate. The cab driver who always gets me home -- even in a raging nor'easter.
The guy at the corner store in Queens who tells me to just come back tomorrow when I realize I forgot my wallet.
The guy parking cars in midtown who saw me once walking with tears coming out of my eyes and yelled at me -- Baby, is it THAT BAD?
Someday she's going to be in a position where she needs a hand up, and she's going to regret everything she's said.
I feel sorry for this woman's husband. #bridezillakaren
