Forget bridezillas. Pushy mothers and overly demanding relatives and friends are the ones destroying our dreams of a perfect wedding.A new survey of 1,000 U.K. couples by Mercure hotels found that 60 percent fell out with friends and family over their wedding plans.
While 38 percent of couples fought as a result of their families, a third couldn't stop arguing over the guest list. A further 25 percent said the wedding budget caused tensions to ride high, while 23 percent of brides had heated arguments with their mothers before the big day.

And all this fighting isn't only affecting the floral arrangements and choice of hors d'oeuvres. Apparently, one-fifth of those surveyed said wedding planning left them suffering from insomnia, with 11 percent saying their health had been affected.
While those who conducted the survey advocate getting a wedding coordinator to handle all the dirty work for you, they won't be able to solve everything. (How do you help the bride whose mother insists on wearing a Hervé Léger bandage dress for the event?)
Which makes us wonder how Chelsea Clinton's coping, with her nuptials just days away. Undoubtedly the pressure's even higher when your wedding is the most talked-about event of the summer (and the Porta-Pottys alone reportedly cost $15,000).
