Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
The Gold Coast community page just amazing. A lot of
people go there to vent to get some advice as well.
This particular one rejected by the edmins shed with us,
so we can share it with you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Kim help me. Gold Coast always a great start.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes, my fiance has turned into a full blown groomzilla.
He's demanding an all black theme, custom suits from Italy,
a fancy menu, and he fired our original celebrant because
she wore the wrong shoes to our meeting. Is this
wedding even about us anymore? I was not prepared for
(00:39):
this side of him. I'm ready to elope. What's the
definition of the wrong shoes? I don't know what the
wrong shoes are?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Cross?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh okay, she will cross? Yeah she shouldn't. She should
be celebrate anyway.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Ah, I don't know. I didn't even know there was
See you've heard.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The phrase brides in it before the bride just it.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Becomes this massive The wedding day becomes just this massive thing,
and she wants everything her way, and then there's groomsilla.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Is he paying for it all?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's more so about who the focus is on the
day and having done a number of weddings over the
last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yes, I have seen some groomzillas, really, yes, compared to bridezillas,
how many.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So bridezillers usually you know the minute you walk into
a rehearsal that it's all about them and that's it
and there's not going to be anything else and everything
has to go. No, Stacy, you have to enter this way. No,
you have to do this, and you'll be doing this
and da da da da. But a groomziller is more fuming.
I feel a groomzilla is more a brooding person who
(01:50):
wants it all done his way and won't accept anything else.
So once it had done his way, and for example,
makes the whole day about himself.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I don't understand the suits, medley and all other stuff.
You just you just make sure that both of you
are having a good day.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well that people just go.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So insane around weddings. It just becomes this massive, massive events.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Pretty laid back. But will you just make sure I
just said.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You would have been such a green zilla, you would
have Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Breezy. You stand over there, this is my moment. I'll
walk down the eye Breeze If you meet me at
the end.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
No, go the back way.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I'm not sure should I be on the other side.
You don't even need to be here, No, just peace taper. Yeah,
don't you know who I used to be? All right?
Cheryl from the Rag you bring up a very valid point.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Well, she said that she's seen some a side of
him that she doesn't like. So why is she even
thinking about all over with him Because it's only going
to sharpen the marriage as well. A wedding or an
alpement is still going to lead to a marriage. And
if she doesn't like this side of it now, she's
not gonna like it when she's married to him. I
(03:14):
mean he's going to be even more you know, if
he doesn't get his wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yes, you can't change you never go back on.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You can have a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's fine, but not because it ends up being you
speak the truth.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Thanks Cheryl Heather from Chevron Island. Have you ever come
across the groomzilla.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Not a groom not a groomzilla per se, because I hope.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
The harder there before it got to that.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yes, because my experience wanted a star Trek wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So much.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You missed the boat.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Nope, nope, not a you Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I've got it.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Yeah, I am what would uniforms for the actual like
wedding and wedding party?
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Really yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
And I was like initially, I was like, Oh, he's
got to be kidding her. Yeah, this is funny. And
he didn't drop it, and I'm like, oh, I got
to drop him. Oh my god, that that's not happening.
So I can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Would you have been picard or.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I wouldn't have know. It wouldn't have absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
She would have been walking out, That's where she would
have been.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I've seen you more of as a data maybe.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Thank your Heather Sandy from Ravina. You've seen it all.
You've been a florist for thirty five years.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Oh yeah, so I have seen everything, Laura. I could
write a book, but I don't want to incriminate anyone.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
There's a great podcast, I think which is in the
making for this, All the Secrets behind Weddings.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Totally totally.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
What's the worst, Sandy, I've.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Had a groom that the bride was to say nothing what,
She had no choice on anything. Wow, she sat there
and everything was decided by.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He did at the end of the aisle.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Did she just have to nod instead of saying I do?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
I think she did. And let's put it this way.
When I delivered all the flowers, my car was searched
to make sure there was nothing in the car that
wasn't supposed to be there.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Like other flowers, they should not have got married.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
And I think they were from Sicily. I'm just saying that, Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Well, my god, he sounds like an absolute Also, I.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Know, I know. And then I've had mother and mother
in law dillers. Yes, so that's interesting because we've had
the whole wedding weight for two hours because the mother
in law didn't like her handbag that went with her dress.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Stop at sandy.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Wow, and I went, oh my god, this poor girl,
she's marrying into this family. So many of those, many
of those. And then of course I had a bridezilla
who completely blamed the weather and the storm on me.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Oh wow, why what are you?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You have a history of being a weather person.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Oh yeah, I've definitely got a weather weather history. The
hail was my fault. Oh my god, you know it's
that's They're just a good one. They're the ones I
can't Inveno. It must think we're.
