A bride second-guesses trusting experts instead of pushing back on her vision. Jamie Wolfer argues she wasn't demanding: the photographer, videographer, and coordinator simply didn't follow the timeline. Advocating for what you want at your own wedding isn't bridezilla behavior.
Even though you communicate something, like, you have to make sure it actually pans out day of. Like, I really kind of just trust the experts, go with the flow, like, don't be a bridezilla. Like, that, that was my mindset going into it. And then afterward I was like, you know what, maybe I should have been like a little bit more of a bridezilla or just stuck up for what I was planning and what I had communicated pre-wedding.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She had all of the safeguards in place to make sure that she didn't have to be responsible for this on her wedding day. And this does not make you a bridezilla. I was thinking, you know, like maybe photography and videography, like they didn't get a timeline ahead of time. Maybe there wasn't a coordinator in this situation. But then hearing that there was both a photographer and a videographer and a coordinator all collectively working together and all of them missed the mark on this is really, really, really disheartening. And so this idea of trust the experts, I mean, obviously she did air quotes in that moment, like she should have been able to, and they didn't adhere to what she really wanted and what she felt like she communicated very, very clearly ahead of time. And that really breaks my heart because I was like, oh, there must not have been a coordinator. And I kept watching and I was like, oh, there, there's the client coordinator.
The coordinator just didn't, didn't accommodate for those things, and that's heartbreaking.
