Here’s the Short Version

The article talks about something we see all the time: wedding planning isn’t just planning a party. It’s a huge life transition. You’re making decisions, managing expectations, and navigating emotions—all while being surrounded by so many opinions.

So when a bride feels overwhelmed, emotional, or extra sensitive? That’s not someone being difficult. That’s someone under a lot of pressure.

A lot of what gets labeled as “bridezilla behavior” is really just stress showing up in different ways.
