Fat Bride

1. Weight-loss and wedding don’t belong in the same sentence.
Or at least they shouldn’t. There are too many girls out there of every shape and size who stop eating the day they get engaged, and I think it’s so stupid. For starters, when your guy asks you to marry him, he’s not asking you to drop 30lbs and marry him. He’s asking the person you are now. Second of all, planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to beat yourself up every time you fall off the wagon and eat a cookie. Thirdly, do you really want your wedding day to be about how much weight you’ve managed to lose during your engagement? Wouldn’t you rather it be about the love you share as a couple? Those are my thoughts on the matter anyway.

When it came to my wedding, I told my mother and my bridesmaids straight away that I intended to remain the same size, and it was never mentioned again. I tried to do a lot of exercise in the weeks coming up to the big day to build up my stamina so I could dance for a long time at the reception, and that actually helped me to keep up my energy in the crazy week before the big day, but I absolutely did not diet, and I’m so glad I made that decision. I truly believe that some of the worse “bridezilla moments” would have ended in violence if I’d been dealing with hunger as well.

Brilliant words from Beth at Pretty-in-Plus

It makes me so sad when people say they’re dieting because they want to be beautiful for their wedding. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. And if you’re marrying the right person you will be ten times as beautiful with joy, that day. Gawd. And the way The Dress becomes the boss is creepy as hell.

I am feeling the pressure and I am not even the bride on Saturday, ARGH.

My dress is amazing though. I got a dress maker to adjust it for me and stuff. You can all expect pictures next week, probably, hahaha!
