Bridezilla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the Australian band, see Bridezilla (band).
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 her family, bridesmaids and even her groom in her quest for the perfect wedding.
The first known citation was in The Boston Globe, June 29, 1995.[1] Bridezillas is also the name of a reality television show on WE: Women's Entertainment.
Bridezilla is also the coined nickname of the YouTube video depicting a woman who is upset about her haircut on her wedding day who "wigs out" and cuts off all of her hair. It was revealed as a hoax by Dlisted.com, and eventually the girls made their rounds on various talk shows. It was later revealed that the video was part of a viral marketing ad campaign by the shampoo manufacturer, Sunsilk.
