    35: A Shocking Bridezilla, Wedding Rules Gone Wild & a Book #2 Sneak Peek
    Sep 18 2025
    What happens when a bride bans her bridesmaids from getting engaged or pregnant for two years? Welcome to today’s Bridezilla saga.

    Christa reacts to a viral Reddit wedding horror story filled with outrageous demands: daily group chats, pricey dress fittings years in advance, and rules like “don’t look hotter than the bride.”

    Then the chaos shifts to family feuds, shower invites without wedding invites, parents footing the bill, and a brother who plays the victim at every turn. Two weddings, endless drama, and a crash course in setting boundaries.

    PLUS—Christa reads a juicy snippet from book two of her Here Comes the Drama series!
