Don't you HATE it when you tell someone what's bothering you -- perhaps asking them for their understanding or a request on something for the wedding -- and they dismiss everything you're saying with that line? This little gem has caused many a meltdown among already-stressed brides, so let's turn this one around and defuse it. When your groom, a parent, a bridal party member, pushy wedding guest or snooty wedding vendor answers your request with a verbal smackdown like this one, here's a comeback that works:

"You're absolutely right. I am being emotional, because (your disinterest/late payment/comment) is really upsetting me. So instead of stating the obvious and logical, how about we start talking about a solution here?" Delivered with a smile, of course.

Now if that person really doesn't want to talk about a solution, or apologize for that comment or late payment, they'll find another way to throw you off your game in the moment. If you get another stall tactic, don't look at it as a brick wall. It's just a time-out, one that you call. Just say, "Okay, I can see you're not in the mood to talk solutions, so we'll connect soon on this." Then either change the subject or depart for better company, and give this person a call on another day. You may find that they're not going to try to disarm you this time, since you have their number. You just sidestepped the insult and returned to your goal, all the while being a peaceful, calm and rational bride with a talent for getting things accomplished.

As for the "You're just being emotional" comment....who would want to be a bride without emotions?
