Mini Media: Bride Wars
Weddings typically bring happiness and the beauty out in women today in our society, but if one small thing goes wrong…BEWARE. Anywhere you go you are bound to find the one and only “bridezilla” that will let loose if you ruin her special day. From the dress to the decorations to the topper of the cake, women care about every little detail in their weddings. This special day counts as the most important day of their lives. This can be portrayed in the movie Brides Wars where two best friends, Emma and Liv, aren’t able to even share the same wedding without conflict, envy and problems.
Bride Wars is about two childhood best friends whose weddings are scheduled for the same day on accident. Neither of the women agree to change the date which leads them to sabotaging the others wedding. Some pranks that were exchanged by the two brides was when Emma messed around with Liv’s hair dye that turned all of her hair blue, or when Liv switched Emma’s spray tan bottle with a bright orange color. The two brides made it clear that neither of them would ever compromise. The actions these women are making demonstrate how the “bridezilla” is always underneath that beautiful veil no matter whose wedding your celebrating.
Perfection is what all women are looking for on their wedding day. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about weddings is white dresses, table settings, the ring, decorations, the cake, beauty and purity. The things listed above were some of the things Emma and Liv were also dealing with in order to have their perfect wedding. When one tries to have a perfect wedding the word cheap or inexpensive can never be used. In our society today, perfection within a wedding comes from spending tremendous amounts of money for societies approval for this one day. By watching the movie Bride Wars one can see the stress, jealousy and anxiety that weddings bring to a certain person on a day that is suppose to be her special day. When it comes to the end of the day, bridezilla never comes out on top and we should stick to weddings that make us happy, not our society happy.
