Here are some pics from when the party started on Friday evening.  If anyone would like to book for a bachelorette party please contact info@wegotstyle.co.za.

Mr Wonderland and I decided to go wedding band shopping last week. Typical male, he found, tried on and paid for his ring in 15 minutes, at the second shop we went to. (For the record, the Jewellery Design Company in Sandton City has lovely service and competitive prices. The cheap-looking store just a floor down, however, not so nice and the same ring cost more!) The quest to find my perfect wedding band is another blog altogether, I’ll just get to the point of this one: The engraving inside the ring.

What do you write in there? This message has to remain relevent for at least 50 years. The obvious ones like “yours always”, “I love you”, “Together forever” seem so generic. Do I just put the date of the wedding? It seems a bit vague (although, on the plus side, he’ll never forget our anniversary). Or do I engrave a super-personal message… there’s the danger of curious friends and family reading it out loud at social functions (Ooh! Look what I found in the bathroom… it says ‘together down every rabbit hole’ HA HA HA, down where?! *roaring laughter*). No, super-personal messages are risky.

So I’m still thinking. And very much clueless. Maybe engraving the ring is overrated…

Are you a Bridezilla????

Finally a quiz that rates you the bride on your steam levels!!!

As a stationist, you gotta love the “bridezillas” as us wedding folk love to call brides that are a little stressful, all the time :).

 Take the quiz – and please comment truthfully if you are a bride as to what u scored.

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.

Answer these quick questions to find out if you have what it takes to be a Bridezilla! Tally up the points next to your answers and find out if you should be fitted for combat boots or Manolos! 1. Someone objects to your marriage right before the “I dos”. You:  a. Leap from the pulpit, rush down the aisle and tackle the offender (3). b. Stomp your foot and yell “Shut the h— up!” (2). c. Cry (1).  2. You have 5 pounds left to lose before the big day. You: a. Ambush the hottest diet guru and fly them to your home for a little one-on-one (3). b. Cut down on carbs (1). c. Try a liquid fast (2).3. The bridal salon calls you: a. By your first name (1). b. “That girl with the issues” (2). c. The Terminator (3).4. Your gown is: a. Your mothers (1). b. French couture (2). c. Stolen from a Renaissance museum in Italy (3).5. Officiating at your ceremony is: a. Your local clergyman (1). b. The Mayor of the city (2). c. The Pope (3).6.

The day of the ceremony, your wedding ring: a. Is on a pillow ready for presentation (1). b. At the jewelers, being exchanged for another carat (3). c. Already on your hand because it was “lonely”. (2)Your score:
19-24 – Congratulations! You’re a Bridezilla! You’ve aced Bridezilla bootcamp, and are now the most accomplished player on the team!  13-18 – Well you’ve almost got a spot on team Bridezilla… but not quite. You’re sort of like the water girl – you’re supporting the team and you’re learning a lot.  

8-12 – You’re just an average bride. Drop and give us twenty.

So although most girls don’t intend to be demanding and hurtful at times There are 1000 decisions to make and once you make those there another 100 for each! That’s a lot of decisions people. Trust me. So the next time you see a Bridezilla headed your way just smile and move to the side. She is on a mission people and the steamtrain known as “wedding” stops for no woman, man or child.
