Sure, weddings are a beautiful display of love, affection, family, and commitment. But it&#8217;s really hard to keep those things at the center when you&#8217;re constantly distracted by what your wedding <em>should<\/em> look like. The dress, the flowers, the table scape, the wedding party. Not only is it expensive, it&#8217;s emotionally and mentally exhausting. And it creates what we&#8217;ve so condescendingly termed: The Bridezilla.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly is a Bridezilla? There&#8217;s been plenty of buzz lately about Bridezillas, Bridechillas, and everything in between. Kelsey McKinney made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/08\/05\/opinion\/sunday\/feminist-defense-bridezillas-weddings.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an impassioned defense of the Bridezilla in the August 5, 2017 issue of <em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a>. McKinney says the word &#8220;is specifically designed to condemn a woman who puts any energy and authority toward trying to achieve entirely reasonable goals.&#8221;&nbsp;You tell me if you&#8217;ve kept your cool through the entire wedding planning process, and&nbsp;we&#8217;ll discuss over a bottle of champagne all the ways you were able to keep your chill. I can tell you, from the midst of wedding planning, that maintain my chill is not my number one skill. But even being chill isn&#8217;t enough anymore. You can be <em>too<\/em> chill, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/cons-of-being-bridechilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">so says The Knot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But why? Why is this a thing? Why do brides, in particular, get criticized so intensely for their wedding planning affect(s)? In this episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thebridechilla.com\/be-a-bridechilla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bridechilla Podcast<\/a>, host Aleisha Maddock interviews our Director of Marketing, Cali Pitchel, about <em>Bridezillas<\/em>, <em>Bridechillas<\/em>, the inauthenticity of the wedding industry, and what it demands from couples in time, money, and expectations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/5614305\/height\/90\/width\/900\/theme\/custom\/autonext\/no\/thumbnail\/yes\/autoplay\/no\/preload\/no\/no_addthis\/no\/direction\/backward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/ef0a61\/\" width=\"900\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Give it a listen!
