When did getting married become an exercise in acquired situational narcissism? This is a recently named psychiatric disorder, generally striking celebrities, characterized by grandiosity, lack of empathy, and rage. Based on the wedding-related mail I receive for the "Dear Prudence" column, an engagement appears to be another trigger for this adult-onset malady. Before entering into holy matrimony, brides seem to think it's acceptable to spend months—sometimes years—giving holy hell to everyone. Abused bridesmaids, perplexed grooms, and appalled parents complain endlessly about the personality changes that otherwise lovely young women undergo when they start arranging "my day."

When I read stuff like this, I thank my lucky stars that I have never been tapped to be a bridesmaid.....

I watch Bridezilla and Whose Wedding is it Anyway and the whole "my day" thing grates my nerves. While this is a milestone event, it doesn't make you special. Thousands of people do it everyday. Watching these shows and being an Event Planner apprentice has opened my eyes. Some of them need a "come to Jesus" meeting with a good friend or family member.

I've never understood the whole "my day" thing. The event isn't all about you. Umm what about your future husband?
