Bridezilla Update...(I think I'm OK posting this here...)

It'll be a good story though... "So this one time I got married..."

Is he in a lot of debt because of the wedding or did her parents take care of most of the bill??

[thetreble 19]

I'm glad he realized sooner than later. She seemed to be the type that got so into the wedding planning, and now there's nothing to plan so she doesn't know what to do with herself and took it out on your poor BIL.

My best wishes for your BIL during this tough time.

Thanks, Peachy. She just really wanted to have a big wedding, I don't think she actually wanted the marriage.

Her parents took care of most of it so the jokes on them.

They also have no joint assets, not even a joint bank account...so there is nothing to divide.

I think big weddings are overrated. I would like to actually know the people at my wedding enough to have a substantial conversation with them.

Well that's good news!

Its so pathetic though that all she would have to do is admit she's wrong and apologize. Gah some people have their heads stuffed so far up their butts.

Whoa. I have just caught up with this thread. Hadn't read it since before the wedding.

I am sorry to hear that they went through with it. I am happy to hear he has finally taken a stand. I hope he is strong enough to follow through with his decision. He is going to need a lot of support to remind him he is making the right decision and to not look back. I guess you could say he is lucky to have learned this lesson so early on in the game. It will make him stronger and build a better man. I wish him all the best.

[thetreble 19]

Yeah she still won't do that...she still won't say she's sorry or even question some of things she has done or said. You can't care about someone else if you can't just say, "I've been wrong..."

Thanks, Krikit. I hope it will make him a stronger, better person as well.

As the world tuens, this would make an excellent soap opera. But glad it is over he may be devestated now But hopefully it is for the best for him and the family.

This really should be one of those TV shows on Bridezillas - even the ending couldn't have been scripted like this! I am sorry for your BIL and hope he realizes soon - if not now - how lucky he is to have got out of this as quickly and as easily as he did. He sounds like a nice guy and now he will have a chance for a happy and better life. When I keep thinking back to all the money that was spent on this wedding and all the comments that were made by various individuals along the way - well, just Wow. At least now you know she's probably not going to spoil your family's Christmas.

We've all made expensive mistakes, whether they be monetarily or emotionally. The cost of those mistakes pays for the lessons we must learn. If we fail to accept and apply what we have learned, the price will be much higher. With every heartache I have, I dig deeply to understand. Salvaging the good from the bad helps me to become a better person, and I take comfort in the knowledge that things have not happened in vain.

That is very nicely put. Did you write that?

[Sprailenes 47]

Amanda you're a writer. Use this as your muse.

Write a freaking book!

[thetreble 19]

I'm thinking about it. I do plan to write on it but as you be knowin', I'm much more of a poet than a "writer". I will put it into words though...I will.

Here's what you do: write a book about awful fiancees and brides. I'm sure some women will complain, so in order to make them happy, you then write a second book about awful fiances and husbands. That way you get TWO book deals out of it simply by playing both sides of the aisle.

Of course I did! At 8:44pm, as a matter of fact. What the heck? I'm not just another pretty face, you know.

wow Amanda. I'm very sorry to hear that...for your BIL. I had been hoping that if they did stay together she would revert to what he remembered. I am glad that its over now though and while he may be crushed I am praying that he heals and learns from this. Its so much better to have gotten out now than to live a life like that. At least he has you guys for an awesome support system. I wish him all the best.
