4 months is too long...

For most of the bride, wedding album is one of the greatest concerns. From the moment they sign up with the bridal house, to choosing the gown for pre-wedding shoot and till the shooting day itself. After that come the choosing pictures time till viewing the designs and lastly the printout of the personal album, every tiny detail will be the most important thing on the bride's mind. How all this will eventually turn her into bridezilla. You can find the definition for the new word "Bridezilla" here.

I wasn't sure if I was one of them. Being a happy bride-to-be, with Hubs by my side, together we plan and execute all this one by one, keeping a happy and satisfy face all time. We had the best bridal house and sales assistant one could ask for. She has been a gem to us. Without her help, we could not have done what we had done. The photo turns out very nice we have hard time shortlisting them.

However, with just two months away from my wedding date, we started to get anxious. Where is our wedding album? It's been 4 months since we chose the pictures. Was our album so hard to design? Was it our face? Was is our style? I could not find a reason for them to take so long, we decided to call them up and politely ask for the very first viewing. GOSH! It will have to wait till next month end which only left one month to our wedding date. How are we suppose to get them ready before the wedding then? She kept assuring us, " Don't worry, it will be ready just in time". By then, we have already started to shiver. What do you mean just in time? We took them 4 months earlier. Not because we like to but we did it so that you can have ample time to do our album nicely, not to put off till a week before our first viewing.

We confronted her on this matter after a long discussion. We have already planned our strategy and were ready with our weapons. However, we sort of changed according to the situation. She was still the ever helpful assistant. Hence, we don't have the heart to be harsh and push her to dead end. Being the strong guy, Hubs deal with her professionally. Had it be my sister who was in this situation, I believe she would have turn the bridal house upside down. I didn't not contribute much but Hubs said I did a very emotional closing. Indeed I was very stress out from the delay they cause us. With that, I accidentally showed my strongest weapon...my tears. He said that really sent the assistant shivers to her bones. Her face turned green in just a second. However, I don't really believe the strength of my weapon. She had promised to phone us and give a satisfactory viewing date the next day. We have done our best, we can only let her do her best for us.

And so we waited to go there again after work the next day but she already made the move. She called earlier to inform us that the design will be ready for first viewing next week. Yippie!!! With that, Bridezilla had returned to a happy, smiling bride. Now I know how strong is my secret weapon.

I think everyone has that one moment of being a Bridezilla on their wedding day, but how many of you did that?
