Bridezilla (term)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Australian band, see Bridezilla (band).
Bridezilla (a portmanteau of bride and Godzilla) is a generic term used to describe 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.[citation needed]
The first known citation was in The Boston Globe, June 29, 1995[1]. A story about Bridezilla and a cartoon ran for 6 issues of Modern Bride magazine in 1999/2000.
An article on Slate Magazine[2] suggests that the clinical diagnosis of acquired situational narcissism may be appropriate for the condition.
