How the pressure to look perfect on the big day is leading some women to extremes.
What's the point of slimming down for the wedding when a lot of women seem to let themselves go completely after getting married?
The fact that we stuck around long enough to ask you to marry us should tell you that we're ok with how you look right now.
And then they wonder why their husbands prefer the fake porn chicks to them - they perpetuate the problem by being fake as well.
Ladies - we need to embrace our natural selves (not our hairy selves) and stop trying to mimic the air-brushed, extreme makeover Hollywood crowd. It's not the wedding that matters - its the MARRIAGE.
Haha, being a stress-eater I purposely ordered my dress in size 16, even though I'm a 14. Voila, on my wedding day it fit perfectly!
We have to be realistic, folks. Go ahead and allow yourself to look imperfect; you'll appear twice as beautiful when you're allowed to be yourself.
My photographer took 900 digital files on the big day. I spent more on white teeth, hair, make-up, nails, facials, than I earn in a month. This wedding cultural is a part of the soceity I live in. When my great-grand children see these pictures they will admire how "hot" great-granny was. That's what it's about right?
I hope you realy don't believe that. The real point is that you have found someone to which you can live with for a long time perhaps forever in a sharing and growing relationship. Your wedding was a public declaration of this love. If you truly married him for teeh photos for the grandkids I feel deeply sorry for the guy you married. He was just ripped off. My guess is he will let you keep the pictures.
Another example of how women allow themselves to be drawn into a whirl of stuff that doesn't mean anything. In ten years time this poor girl will probably be separated, on anti depressants, drinking too much wine at dinner every night and wondering where it all went wrong.
It all went wrong the day she decided to worry about crap like white teeth and incredibly thin thighs. It starts with you ladies. If you cant see past the fluff to whats real then your fate is sealed.
Marriage aint just the wedding ,it is the lifestyle change that comes after that is important, the beauty of the the way a couple look at each other is in their eyes,this love and care and the want to share beat any form of physical beauty portrayed on the wedding day.
The new life style comes to the society, also the site called pubspa has something about the skin protection, and health care.
geez, I got married in laughlin NV, I spent the night partying with my husband, woke up the next morning. Bought a new dress and spike heels, and got married. It seems silly to blow it out of porportion, and go to extremes. If someone wants to marry you he/ or she made that choice before you lost weight or had incredibly white teeth.
From where i'm from we have a saying" Lay your legs as long as your comforter is" meaning that don't go over your limit. I'm gating married next year, but i've start saving just so i won't take loans.
Good for you. Enjoy your wedding.
"what she's going to look like on her wedding day". This is a very stupid way of thinking and she deserves whatever consequences that afflict her for her own stupidity! Who is she going to please? The guests or herself? Just please your ownself.
For all these 'shrinking' brides, they sure don't appear to be able to maintain that given all the fat, married women out there.
I'd just be happy to meet someone who I love enough and who loves me enough to spend the rest of our days on earth together! It's the commitment to a life together that counts!
To all 'nearly' married women....If you're getting stressed about loosing weight for your wedding right now,that means that you have finally found the right guy to go with the right dress and most important of all,he asked you out and he proposed you with your ' supposed' overweight!
Guys, Marriage is an engagement you have taken with a man in front of god / civil officer so that the world
knows that you are in love with this specific guy! It doesn't matter what dress you're wearing or not, if it's fashion or not. What's the big deal of having the most beautiful dress and a man who doesn't worth its that you wear any wedding dress for him? Think about it! You better keep that money to improve your house or even buy one instead of investing it in a dress that will be worn only once in a lifetime!!! Think about it! What's the deal of doing all this for people's eyes and then you'll have to live in a small house and still have to pay for your wedding loan even 45yrs after....I got engaged 2 months ago and planning my wedding for the end of the year.I simply planned the ceremony at the church and a cocktail for my closest relatives and friends. Gilbert & I have ended on a 35 pax party! We're starting the construction of our new house by the end of this week and...the money which could have use for my dress + make up + nails etc... will actually be use for the decoration of our 3 yr old daughter's room...To my eyes,her smile when she'll discover her new home and room is priceless!
Wow. I really think this article is a load of crap. For those women out there who shell out alot of money for one day then, damn, whatever melts your butter. But why do that when you could use that money on a tour of europe for a honeymoon, or money towards a new car, or money towards a down payment to your new house, or better yet, money saved for when you really need it if you start a family??? When I got engaged I got alot of those same questions/comments. My husband and I ended up going down to the courthouse to get it done and then had dinner with our families. As a matter of fact, I gained about 10 lbs leading up to our marriage. Well, honestly, I think weddings are ridiculous. But, point is, for those who like the tradition, don't overdo it.
Oh, no. Get ready to hear from alot of Fat Acceptance advocates who feel anybody who wants to become healthy by eating right and exercising has an eating disorder! I'm looking in your direction, Kate Harding! If a bride to be doesn't want to look like the Michellin man on her wedding day then good for her that she's taking the initiative to look good. Don't give up on yourselves. Unlike the fat acceptance losers.
I just got engaged a few weeks ago, and boy I'm glad that this article sounds completely foreign to me. I started exercising more over a year ago because I was dating someone who enjoyed hiking with me and who wanted me to keep him company when he ran. Since he proposed I've been fielding questions about the date, the guest list and where we plan to live after the ceremony. I'm worried about what to serve at the reception to keep both my rancher relatives and his vegetarian relatives happy... And how to seat them far enough apart that they don't find out about each other. Loosing weight is the last thing I'm worried about for my wedding.
I got engaged just a few weeks ago and boy I'm glad that this sounds completely foreign to me. Most of the questions I've got revolve around the date and the guest list, not my appearance. The closest to this sort of thing that's come up was a discussion about whether it would be better to get the dress from a salon in the area were I live or from one near where my parents live.

I was just married on Dec. 14th 2007. I got married 3 months after i got engaged. I am a plus sized woman. I however was also 5 months pregnant . I wanted to lose weight but dieting while pregnant isn't possible. I told my fiance` about how i felt about my weight and he told me that he asked me to marry him just as I was not what I wanted to be....just a word for all the brides out there.....make your dress and your big day to fit you... not the other way around. He fell in love with who you are now, don't worry about other people's opinion's....just enjoy the day.
I am a wedding planner in the LA area, It seems to me that either the brides are very "Model Like" or more than moderately overweight and not many fall in between. They all look beautiful and radiant no matter what their size or age. Now let's discuss the Bridesmaids.......
