“Bridezillas” is casting, and too bad Debbie and Adam are already married because she’d be a perfect candidate! Debbie is a little, shall we say, high strung. The freaked out couple has been planning their wedding for two years. And although Debbie started out every bit the demure bride-to-be, as time has gone on, the stress of it all has mounted and with two weeks to go, she’s behaving like Linda Blair in the “Exorcist.” Without the green goo spewing all about. Though I’m pretty sure I saw her head spin around. Even her fiancé is scared of her, “She’s all nice and what not ... but don’t come too close!” Her temper isn’t the only thing going through the roof ... Debbie has managed to double the guest list and the budget. Between the money and mood swings, Adam is about to lose it. Plus, she booked every vendor without ever meeting them, which he finds “nerve racking.” Or just plain stupid. It seems the only contribution Adam has been allowed to make is his opinion, which apparently, continually gets ignored. They have no ceremony planned, the bridesmaids may end up barefoot and her parents are planning to make the wedding cake. There may be more tears than tiers if it’s not perfect. Without help, they’re going to keep butting heads and nothing will come together. Jane to the rescue!

Wedding planner extraordinaire Jane Dayus-Hinch has worked with over a thousand brides, but she’s never met anyone quite like hurricane Debbie. She meets them at the ceremony location to find out what (and who) she’s really dealing with. “They seem lovely, but looks can be deceiving.” Oh, Jane, you said it all, sister. And then some. She sees writing on the wall, and it’s not a love story, “This could actually turn into one of those weddings that doesn’t go ahead because it’s driving them mad, and in fact, it’s ‘going to split us up’.” Guest count? Adam wanted a small, intimate affair, but it’s now grown to 130 guests thanks to Debbie. And also thanks to Debbie, they have a DJ, photographer, minister, and decorator ... from the internet. Yep, she sent thousands of dollars in deposits to people she never met. Booked them sight unseen! “They give people money, then meet them? That’s different.” Insert eye roll here. But Jane hasn’t heard the best part. Go on, tell her about the wedding cake. Debbie’s parents are making the three-tiered cake. Oh yeah, and they’ve never actually made a cake before. You’d think that would spur them to at least practice, but nope, they have confidence that they’ll be able to pull it off. Jane thinks this half-baked plan is going to end badly. “This is the biggest disaster waiting to happen.” Ya think?! They move on to the reception hall. Oh goody, including their wedding, there are three events going on the same day at the same time. Debbie isn’t fazed by this at all since each one is in a separate ballroom, each with its own entryway. Jane however, is worried, “Debbie needs to get her head out of the clouds, that’s for sure.”

Jane sums the situation up: Debbie’s parents are in charge of the cake, Debbie is in charge of everything else. The bride doesn’t agree, “He has his say in things. I try to respect his opinion, and he doesn’t let me get away with everything.” Just the tux color, cake, wedding bands, flowers, and well, the entire ceremony itself. Adam knows what’s up, “My role is basically just to show up and do what Debbie tells me to do.” That’s what you think – Jane is in charge now, and trust me, you’ll have a lot to handle.

She puts a plan together and forewarns them that it’s going to look “horrendous.” You can see the shock and awe on their faces, “When I looked at the list, I thought ‘Wow, I need to sit down’.” Jane starts at the top with the ceremony and lights the fire under their slacker butts to get the vows written. They’re writing them together, how romantic! Not. Debbie just wants to be able to edit what he’s going to say. Given her insane behavior, that’s probably a smart move. Somehow, I think vowing to love, honor and commit to the nuthouse might not go over so well. Speaking of going over, Jane wants them to formulate a Plan B where the cake is concerned. She’s seen too many homemade confections topple in her day. Debbie doesn’t want a Plan B, so that’s one item that won’t be checked off the list. On to the attire, or lack thereof. The bridesmaids don’t actually have shoes to wear. Barefoot on the beach is one thing, barefoot in the church, not so much. They have to put together the music list for the church and DJ, shot list for the photographer, work on the seating chart, find a way to get supplies to the venues, yada yada yada. Jane knows she delivered a “death blow,” and took the wind out of Debbie’s sails since she’s going to have to give up control. To accomplish it all, they’ll have to divide and conquer. And surprisingly, they don’t waste any time.
