Chapter 1: Understanding the Groomzilla Phenomenon

This chapter explores the root causes of Groomzilla behavior, including:

* Perfectionism and Control Issues: Some grooms feel an intense need to have everything perfect for their wedding, leading them to micromanage and nitpick every detail. * Insecurity and Jealousy: Groomzillas may fear losing attention to their brides, which can result in possessive or controlling actions. * Cultural and Societal Expectations: In certain cultures, men are expected to be the traditional breadwinners and decision-makers, which can pressure grooms to assert their authority in wedding planning.
