Diarmuid: It's a combination¹ of the words bride... And Godzilla. She's telling everyone what to do. She's demanding that everything is perfect for her big day. And if she doesn't get what she wants, she gets really upset. Jean: What a nightmare²! A: It's my wedding and it has to be perfect! It has to be a like a fairytale wedding and if it isn't perfect then I'll never forgive you. It's my special day and everything has to be the way I want it! B: Alright, alright, no need to be a bridezilla. Jean: I'm sure your sister isn't as bad as the bride in the example there. Diarmuid: Maybe not, but she certainly knows how to let everyone know when she's not happy. Jean: All women know how to do that Diarmuid. Diarmuid: And quite a few men too. Jean: Well, that's all for today now. Now when is the wedding? Diarmuid: It's at the weekend so wish us all luck. Jean: I'm sure she won't become a monster. Diarmuid: I hope so.
