Have you all ever been a bride? The pressure it intense and ridiculous. I say cut her some slack.

I guess my question is why is there so much pressure on the bride. I've watched many a bride show their true stripes preparing for a wedding. Frankly, if I was they guy, it would be my cue to run, cause he's not marrying a gal interested in the role of mate, she's about being a "princess".

So why is that? Why do they focus so much on themselves and the perfect day? There's no perfect man, and frankly with more than 50% of marriages ending in divorce, why the big deal>?

Why it's a big deal: Because big media and Hollywood say it is.

I agree...brides are a pain in the neck.

Of course not all (I wasn't, ha ha)... but I have two teenage daughters now and the DRAMA of everything is so huge... I think it only grows with all the wedding hype and creates temporary monsters in some cases.

Bride = female; is there anything else to say? Except for Freeperettes of course.

You buy into all of the myths and stereotypes, don't you?
