The problem is a cultural narrative of "this is my perfect day!" This is what creates bridezilla out of otherwise very nice (but, not self-aware-enough) women.

- gnaritas 16y agoThat's the female narrative, we're on hacker news, I was assuming he was asking the male point of view. I certainly don't know any men who thought "this is my perfect day".
- prawn 16y agoIt's a wedding. In the majority of cases, the male point of view is irrelevant. Also, as I said elsewhere in this thread, what a woman might say in theory or outside of planning mode is often quite different to how they'll act once things get real. (Recently married for the second time, FWIW.)
- gnaritas 16y ago> It's a wedding. In the majority of cases, the male point of view is irrelevant. Which is probably why so many marriages end in divorce. If she's not mature enough to know the real purpose of a wedding and thinks it's about having her day to show off to her friends, then she's just not mature enough and she's selfish. Catch her the second or third time around and see if she hasn't smartened up a bit and if the man's point of view doesn't carry more weight now. > Recently married for the second time, FWIW. Good luck with that!

- jmtulloss 16y agoAre you suggesting that a woman being obsessive about her wedding day is a character flaw?
