It is a truth universally known that when faced with infinite bridal options, feuding family dynamics and the pressure of Pinterest perfection, wedding planning can bring out the worst in anyone.

Here are ten tell tale signs that may mean you are in danger of becoming the marriage monster.

1. Your table cloth selection keeps you up at night. Ice white vs nice white? They are just so different!

2. Your friends are avoiding you. Was it the twice-weekly meetings? The midnight meltdowns?

3. Your budget limits are a distant memory and no-one is going to stop you arriving in a hot air balloon surrounded by white doves. No-one.

4. You have created excel spreadsheet formulas fit for a Nasa mission for every possible timing contingency.

5. You are taking guest dress code to new levels, ‘Drama of McQueen meets A Midsummer Nights Dream serenity. This is my vision. MY vision!’

6. Every single one of your friends transformed into insensitive cows since you got engaged. So weird.

7. You are just going to die unless you have that bespoke princess tiara with heart motifs and engraved plating. Do you want me to die??

8. Your fiancé is hiding, but then he just gets in the way anyway.

9. You are uttering phrases like “Bride's day, Bride's way!"

10. Your wedding planner quits. And she has seen it all. You are officially OUT OF CONTROL.

But it does not have to be like this. Stay sane with these top tips for busting pre wedding stress and banish Bridezilla forever.
