| - The word "bridezilla" is a portmanteau combining bride with the fictional rampaging beast "Godzilla" (from Japanese cinema) to indicate a difficult bride.
- Bridezilla is that creature a bride morphs into under the stress of wedding arrangements and unrealistic expectations, resulting in escalating demands and screeching outbursts about insignificant problems. Some say the reptile forms when a normal woman is subjected to the immense pressure of planning a wedding; others say that the wedding-related stress simply reveals the worst of her character. Most agree, however, that the classic Bridezilla is the woman who believes the wedding is Her Day, meaning all revolt must be squelched and all whims indulged. Examples of Bridezilla include:

Most agree, however, that the classic Bridezilla is the woman who believes the wedding is Her Day, meaning all revolt must be squelched and all whims indulged. This is a relatively recent trope, dating not much further back than The Seventies but only becoming well-known in The Nineties. Before that date only the rich had big white weddings, which were social occasions planned and paid for by the bride's parents. The mother of the bride planned the wedding with limited to no input from the bride herself. Bonus points when the bride starts forgetting it's also the Groom to Be's day. Related to Drunk with Power and What You Are in the Dark. Mostly occurs because It's All About Me! Examples of Bridezilla include:
