Many girls dream of becoming a bride and majority of Pakistani women are excited for their wedding, because that’s what they’ve been taught to aspire to. “Bride-zilla” is the term used for such brides who go gaga over their shaadi preparations with such an intensity that they start scaring you.
If you’ve a friend who’s crazyyy about her wedding, then you’re in for a lot of free ka drama and entertainment because there’s always something up with your friend and you’re either there to support her or knock some sense into her.
1. There will be this huge battle over deciding the date
Sardiyon mein? Garmiyon mein? Kab shadi karun?
And you’re always listing out pros and cons of getting married in any weather.
2. She will want the most perfect venue, deciding which is going to be another battle
Marquee? Hall? Kidher shadi karun?
And you’re like kahen bhi ker lou yaar tum.
3. A breakdown over color schemes of dresses and shoes will definitely happen
And you’ll be there supporting her and getting stressed out with her.
4. There’ll be lists. Countless lists. SO. MANY. LISTS.
Lists of jewelry, makeup and whatnot. And everyday, there’ll be a new list.
5. You’ll find her having a meltdown over schedules and deadlines
koi cousin nahi aa pa raha tha. kisi k exams thay. etc.
And then you’ll be dealing again with all the drama attached to it.
6. There will be SO MANY arguments on the phone and you’ll have to be there to support her
7. You’ll find her and yourself running around the city to do things like getting angoothi ka size
And there will still be a problem to it because she’ll stress on getting the exact size.
8. Guest lists and cutting some door ke friends and rishteydaar will be a process
You’ll both feel like jerks thinking out deciding who to invite and who not to invite but you both know that the list is limited.
9. She might start losing her mind over how she’s looking and then you’ll have to knock some sense into her
Enjoy the process. Stop being such a bride-zilla.
10. You’ll be with her at her nikkah and she might get jitters
Her jitters will NOT be for her nikkah but for how the things are going not according to her.
11. There may be some tears and panic attacks
Haye main ye kya ker rahi hun?
Tum nikah ker rahi ho and you’re happy about it. Remember it. Now enjoy this day!
12. She’d make you in charge of the music at her entrance but you’ll have no idea how to go about
There’s a big chance that it might not get played because she told you about it at the last minute.
13. Even at the event you’ll throw her looks to focus and not be in her bride-zilla mode
Don’t panic. Everything is going great
14. You’ll be praying for her silently to not fuck shit up
You’ll pray that she’ll still be able to enjoy the whole event instead of focusing on trivial chaos around her.
15. At the end of the event, while the family is crying you’ll be the one most relaxed
You’ll feel like that you were so much involved in her wedding that you’re feeling that you might turn into a bride-zilla.
Nope. Not happening. I’ll be as cool as a cucumber.
