bridezilla

Demanding engaged woman

A bridezilla is a bride-to-be who becomes obsessively demanding or difficult while planning her wedding.

The blend of bride and Godzilla suggests someone who has transformed into a monster, terrorizing vendors, bridesmaids, and family members with unreasonable expectations: My sister turned into a total bridezilla—she screamed at the florist for twenty minutes.

The term is usually disparaging but sometimes used self-deprecatingly.
