A few years ago, my mom and I discovered this hilarious TV show called "Bridezillas"—maybe you've heard of it. I used to laugh at the atrocious things those brides would say and do on camera, thinking that no actual human being would ever behave like that in real life.

Unfortunately, as I grew up, I realized that Bridezillas do exist. And they aren't something to be glamorized.

You see, somewhere along the line, we taught little girls to idolize that "special" day above all else in life. What's worse is that we promised them that they would be the ruling queens of that special day. They grew up believing that they should exploit that special day to its full potential—the attention, the gifts, the money. They grew up believing that the world owed them its full, unrequited devotion on that day.

This is the monster we have created as a society.

Thanks to the Bridezilla phenomenon, we now have to deal with $500 wedding registries (can you say greedy?) and complicated wedding day schedules (including three hours' worth of wedding photos in between the wedding and the reception—did I mention that the bride is in EVERY photo?). We now have to deal with catty, agitated brides who believe that they are too good for everyone around them.

And if you're one of the lucky people who is invited to serve a fellow friend as her bridesmaid, you have to deal with annoying group messages about acrylic nails, Pinterest hairstyles, and the bride's insecurities for months on end.

Basically, as a bridesmaid, you're expected to drop everything and run to the bride's side if she needs anything between her engagement day and her wedding day. That also includes planning, attending, and purchasing gifts for the bridal shower and the bachelorette party. And you'll be labeled unsupportive if you don't spend a straight 72 hours with the bride before the wedding, just in case she should need support of any kind before she signs her life away to Mr. Right.

It's ironic that a couple's wedding day can become so overshadowed by a bride's selfish desires to be queen bee over her friends and family. Since when is marriage about fulfilling little girls' dreams of wearing a princess tiara and walking down the aisle to "A Thousand Years?" And why do brides act like the wedding day is the pinnacle of their time on earth? Shouldn't brides just be grateful that they've found someone who is willing to marry them?

As Millennials, many of us are nearing the life stage of becoming engaged and marrying our boyfriends or girlfriends. We are the future of weddings and marriage and love-based relationships. We have the power to change the face of the modern wedding.

When will we finally tell Bridezillas to grow up and behave like mature women? When will Bridezillas finally get a wake-up call that the world does not revolve around petty peasants like them? Unless you're marrying into the royal British family, no one cares about your wedding. It will not be live streamed, nor will it be remembered by anyone other than you. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

So by all means, enjoy your wedding day. Just don't embarrass yourself by becoming a Bridezilla.
