Bridezilla (term)

Bridezilla (term)

Bridezilla (a portmanteau of "bride" and "Godzilla") is a generic term used to describe a difficult, unpleasant, perfectionist bride who leaves aggravated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake. A bridezilla is obsessed with her wedding as her perfect day and will disregard the feelings of the family, bridesmaids and even her groom in her quest for the perfect wedding.Fact|date=July 2008

The first known citation was in "The Boston Globe", June 29, 1995 [http://www.wordspy.com/words/bridezilla.asp] . A story about Bridezilla and a cartoon ran for 6 issues of "Modern Bride" magazine in 1999/2000.

An article on Slate Magazine [http://www.slate.com/id/2167299/?GT1=10135] suggests that the clinical diagnosis of Acquired Situational Narcissism may be appropriate for the condition.
