MarieBa commented on the word couplezilla
couplezilla (plural couplezillas)
(usually humorous) A couple who, in the course of planning their wedding, display difficult, selfish, narcissistic behaviour relating to the event.

Honestly, I'd be in the latter category, and I'd probably distance myself from any friend who put on a big production to announce their engagement... I'd be terrified that they're going to become couplezilla over the whole wedding-planning process, wanting to have the biggest and best "OR ELSE!!"
T Flynn, “Re: Something to consider:”
In that any gathering or ceremony has a focal point and an audience, that may be, but the idea of comparing a wedding to a pageant -- implying that OF COURSE a wedding should be some overblown, foo foo, couplezilla affair -- is a serious miscommunication.
