‘Like a beautiful butterfly emerging from a homely cocoon, the moment a person gets engaged they blossom from a run-of-the-mill human into a bride-to-be. A bride is a true dictator, her wedding her totalitarian state. And that is exactly as it should be.’ This week I am joined by comedian Laura Willcox who, in her book ‘I am Bride’ writes in the voice of an overbearing, outrageous wedding planner covering all aspects of a wedding—from maximising jealousy when you announce your engagement on social media, to establishing yourself as the alpha over your bridesmaids, to preventing your groom from ruining your wedding by having any opinions at all, and so much more. Her refreshing take on all things bride will turn tradition on its head, and have you rolling your eyes and reading passages out loud to your peeps Laura has created a hilarious book which is a perfect gift for the friend who can’t stop pinning to her dream wedding board, the maidchilla currently feeling the wrath of her friend-turned-bridezilla, or any bridechilla who would benefit from a much-needed break from the stress and madness of wedding planning.
