Have you ever faced a real-life Bridezilla?

It's August, which means we're knee-deep in wedding season. Not to mention Bridezillas season! (Check out the online viewing party every Sunday night.) But as much as we love to judge the women on the show, I have a feeling some of your real-life Bridezilla stories are even worse. 

So tell us in the comments -- what's the worst Bridezilla moment you've witnessed in real life?? Winning story will be posted on GuySpeak next week!

I watched a couple episodes of that show awhile ago. I couldn't stomach it. What I noticed most about the show was that these women were doing most, if not all, of the work themselves. It takes a super human effort to pull off a wedding depending on what it is you want to do. These women get over stressed and everyone around them is a victim.

My advice is to never plan a wedding alone. Ladies, you can't do it all by yourself.

Excellent point, Megan. If you're one woman trying to do the job of 20, it's only natural to get a little cranky. But I think these women have to ASK for help...and be willing to delegate a bit of their power to others.

I delegated a lot, and there is still so much to be done you can't delegate. It's really stressful. Its not excuse to be a total wench to everyone you know, but its only for a short time. Some of those women are just total brats anyway.

I got married in May. I watched Bridezillas a couple times before my big day and I used to be absolutely appalled by how some of those women behaved. I, having been through it, understand why some of them behaved like raging lunatics. You, as the bride are the center of attention. Everything you have planned will be looked at as a reflection of you. Everyone looks to you for the decisions to be made and what must be done. You are running the show. It is so overwhelmingly stressful. Especially, if you have to shoulder a lot of the burden of the tasks that must be completed. I had a wedding guest list of nearly a hundred people. I had a lot to accomplish and I didn't have too many DIY projects. I still had an absolutely maddening to do list. You could just pay someone to handle it all, but (for most of us) its too expensive to pay someone else. Even for what you pay someone else, you have to direct them on what must be done. I realize there are exceptions to what I have said. I know women who's mother/grandmother/FML planned it all. Most brides are not in that boat. I couldn't work the week of my wedding I was so stressed. My husband said I was a wreck. He kept reminding me to relax, and I am an extremely easy going gal! I'm usually telling him to relax! It is just so much pressure, and its a once in life time experience (or one of few life time experiences, typically only one wedding day per mate experience) you want it to be perfect. Believe me, things go wrong and mistakes are made, you just have to except it and move on. Its been almost 3 months and I barely remember some of the problems the week of my wedding or day of. All of my guests had a great time, and I have a wonderful memory of my wedding day, that's all that matters! It just made me a nut case :)

I think that shows like Bridezilla glamorize the horrific behavior of these women. I just got married in July and everywhere I went I was told what a sweet bride I am. I managed to have my wedding the way I wanted to without acting like a raving b*tch. I've always lived by the motto you get more with sugar than vinegar. I know it wouldn't make as good television, but its time we stop idealizing the scum of the earth we see in this show, and others like Jersey Shore, etc.

At first I thought this show was funny, but the more I watch the more I notice that they are basically all the same. Fat, ugly, greasy, nasty, bitchy with mouths like toilets in an old truck stop.
I don't even feel sorry for the grooms. They are good for nothing, useless, wimpy pussies.
Time to move on.

God bless the men who marry these crazy chicks!!

I have seen grown women act this way before! Yes planning a wedding is stressful, but these chiks are taking it a bit to far! Wishing death on your inlaws, cussing at small children, or fighting is just unacceptable behavior! I have to wonder how desperate the guys are that are willing to marrying them! I would rather be alone then to put up with their behavior!

I've been watching Bridezillas for about a year now since my fiance ask to marry me. I do understand that the show is just a comedy, but what I don't understand is why would anyone put up with the behavior of these females. Why would any man want to marry a female that disrespects their mother or anyone else that crosses their path. I don't understand how these females demand respect when they are so disrespectful towards others. But I can say this about a Bridezilla, they are the true definition of the phrase, "There's someone out there for everybody".

what is wrong with the men who marry these crazy moon bats?
