The bridezilla show on WEtv is good at showing off the bride in her less than glamorous moments and entertaining us with them.  But, for some strange reason, it feels like WE doesn’t show allllllllll of the details.  Well, a bridal shop right outside Detroit caught a real live bridezilla in action on store video.  According to Fox Detroit, the bride was refused alterations to her dress that she had purchased at ”First Lady Bridal and Prom” because she became beligerent with the store owner after an argument over a bill.  The store owner,  Hekmut Putruss, said that in 25 years of business they had never seen anything like this.

Megan Mariah Barnes, 37

This is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but here it goes anyway.  A Florida woman, Megan Mariah Barnes, 37, thought it be nice to show up on her date with a nice clean….ummmm…”area” before meeting her boyfriend in Key West, so she thought she’d take care of it while driving.  If that isn’t strange enough, her ex-husband held the wheel while she got busy with the razor.
