What does it mean, it is the Brides "day."?

Question

I just want an explination on what people think the extent of a wedding day being the brides day means. How far can she take that. Example...bossiness, rudeness, selfishness

Answer 1

I think this stems from the bride doing most the planning and work. Or it probably is mostly her vision. It is really crapy when the bride becomes rude and selfish. It should be a time in your life filled with love and pure joy!

Answer 2

oh i hate it when people say that!!

especially here on yahoo answers people will go "oh does green and pink look good together" and then the whole group of bridezillas will chuck in with "it's YOUR day, do whatever YOU want"

like h**l it's only the bride's day it's about the couple AND the families i think it's selfish for a bride to say it's HER day only and yes the people that say this normally are rude, selfish and bossy!

Answer 3

I dont lthink its the brides day at all.  I dont even things its the couples day.  a wedding is a day for everyone who is invited to come together and celebrate.  the party is hosted by the bride and groom so decisions are ultimately up to them, but should reflect the likes and dislikes of the guests.  I also think the bride and groom should have as much say as they are contributing money. If parents are paying then parents get the final say.  if the wedding party is paying for their own attire they should be involved in the picking of the dresses and such.  if a bride wants it to be all about her then she should skip the wedding and elope.

Answer 4

It's NOT the "bride's day", it's NOT the "most important day of your life,"  and it's NOT "you have everything your way" day.  A bride needs to be a gracious, sophisticated woman.  It is not the right to become a raving you know what.  I'm tired of all the brides proclaiming, "it's my day shouldn't I have everything my way?"  

Answer 5

That expression drives me nuts. I have a friend getting married in a month who says that all the time - and she means that everyone has to cater to her whims and needs and desires from engagement to wedding day. (Thank god she only had a 7 month engagement!)

The reason people say that is because it's generally the bride who does a lot of the planning and the one who dreams of her wedding day for years and years. But, the wedding is about the couple and the two families joining as well.

I assume that you have someone treating you badly just because she's getting married. Remind her that she may feel it's her day, but the things she does/says to you will last until long after she gets married, and then you may not be around for her to apologize to.  

Answer 6

A myth developed by a self-absorbed bride no doubt. The day is about two people, the love they share, and the life they are forging together. Too many brides make the day all about them, hence shows like Bridezilla.

Answer 7

well usually the bride is the one who planned it since she was 5. and she has the say in most things mainly because most grooms dont care. but she still has to be nice and understanding with other people involved. i felt like it was my day during the whole planning but when the day came it truly was our day it was our day to show everyone just how much we love each other. and we are the ones who will celebrate that date yr after yr.
