    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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?

      Comment: 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.

    Comment: "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.

    Comment: For all these 'shrinking' brides, they sure don't appear to be able to maintain that given all the fat, married women out there.

    Comment: 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!

    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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.

    Comment: 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.......

    Comment: When I became engaged the first thing i did was going on what i like to call the "bride diet" which consisted of slim fast and rice cakes. this lasted for about a week and then I said "screw it!" because i will be me on my day. i'm 130 pounds and look find. i like my booty and dont need to be a sze 0 to be beautiful. my personality and inner strength has always shined through and it will on my big day. this is just one step in a long life and i have so many other things to worry about.

    Comment: My wedding day is six months from now and the first thing I did was pick out my dress to hide the chicken pock scars on my arms and back. Sure I could lose five pounds, but I would never starve myself to look thin. If you have months before your wedding then you have time to work out and change your unhealthy eating habits. I know that I will never look like the models on the cover of all the bridal magazines no matter what I do, so why worry? I am 5???3??? but I love my curves and the skin I am in because I know that I am loved. If he loves me now then I know he will love me on our wedding day and the days after that because I am not trying to be someone that I will never be. Be yourself and love who you are!

    Comment: A wedding is one day, based on the plan for the future, don't mess it up by worrying about stupid things! Instead of wasting money on your VANITY, because no one will remember (we don't), donate to a charity where you can really make a difference in someone life. People spend 10-500K on a wedding and when it is over it is over, with divorce rates sky rocketing (the wedding sometimes is the precurser) it would be better to send some of that cash towards a good cause instead. Trust me, the people or cause you help is HAPPY and LOVES you just the way you are, just lie the rest of us do!

    Comment: If you are fat when you met your future husband, and now you want to loose that fat for your wedding day. And if you are one of the unlucky ones, you will gain it all back or even more! Now what are you going to do? You will be stressed out and you're gonna say: DAMN it I need to loose all this weight, when I married my husband I was skinny and now he's gonna think i'm not attractive anymore....SHOOT, i'm sorry! just accept for what you are and be happy with it. If he love you when you are fat, then he love you the way you are.

    Comment: I've never really understood the insanity behind weddings. I just got married back in June and for the most part I wasn't really worried about it. I wore my sisters dress which meant more to me than spending my parents money to get my own and we had a simple, small ceremony in our church's backyard. It was inexpensive, but still nice. Besides it's the MARRIAGE that matters after it's all said and done...not the wedding.

I have faith that our nation is better than the celebrities that portray characters that are actually written by artists- but who gets the "awards"? The celebrities! Writers and other real gifted people who aren't judged on their looks need to be brought to the forefront. I relish the day People magazine puts a writer on their cover-

    Comment: I disagree with Angelino that this is "normal" behavior, for a bride or anyone else. It is unhealthy, full stop. I suspect that because (1) weddings are such a big industry and (2) all the cultural baggage tied up with a woman getting married, our society seems to sanction/excuse what is fundamentally sick behavior. I say this just having been married in the last year, and watching one of my closest friends who married the month before me put herself near hospitalization because of her "normal" bride food restrictions. I agree with the earlier posting: it's not worth it. One solution to stop the insanity--quit reading all those bride magazines!

But at the same time I don't believe people should lose control of their health and gain 50+ pounds just because they believe "true beauty" comes from within. The reality of it is that much of the US population, along with some other parts of the world, has come to except being out of shape, over weight and generally unhealthy.

    Comment: Wow. I totally agree with mkogun on this one. What is beautiful? A quick trip to "dictionary.com" answered that question. According to that site, beauty is "wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying. Wonderful; fantastic: extraordinary; incredible." if that's the case, then aren't we ALL beautiful, in a sense? The word "beautiful" is an opinion term, much like "hot" and "cold" or even "sexy" and "good-looking". No matter what the situation, people should not go to extremes that push anorexia and bulimia. Having been anorexic before, I can tell you one thing: it's not worth it. If you're sick with an eating disorder on your wedding day, or even underweight to unhealthy measures, then your wedding is anything but perfect.

Ask a group of men wut beautiful is in a woman and 90 percent of them will say beauty lies within no matter how u look on the out side... society has poisened our way of thinking when it comes to wut is beautiful and wut is not , it just ludicriss people need to start seeing with there hearts and not there eyes...

    Comment: Having been in 13 weddings (maid of honor 4 times), I was over the whole madness that turns perfectly wonderful women (and their mothers) into raving, superficial, self-absorbed neurotics who assume that everyone else is as interested in the most minute details as they are. It is though they believe that their looks and style will be scrutinized the way the Enquirer analyzes Oprah's, Kirstie's, Angelina's and Brittany's physicalities.
    Therefore, my husband and I decided that instead of preparing for our wedding, we would spend the 16 months preparing for our marriage. Because we are both extremely secure in who we are as individuals, we were able to focus on the big issues that grow out of either or both people's personal, unresolved insecurities.
    We planned a get-away wedding -- essentially equivalent to planning a honeymoon , and we were able to spend the time that would have been devoted to al the craziness writing our vows, planning our ceremony and enjoying the bliss of being engaged.
    As for the pursuit of perfection-- I've had a healthy diet and regular work-out regimen for 20 years. I go to the dentist regularly and wear sunblock religiously. I bought a size 4 dress off the rack and had it taken in so that it fit perfectly. Before we left, I called the resort where we were staying, made a hair appointment and ordered some flowers. I did my own makeup after swimming and kayaking with my husband all morning. Though I am not usually photogenic, my wedding photos are stunning, because I was rested, full of joy, and completely in love.

    I highly recommend becoming happy with yourself and with your fiance before considering marriage-- save yourself and your mother, sisters, girlfriends, etc the insanity

You can be full figured and still be beautiful i just dun understand some of the ways people think these days honestly ask most men these days and they would say a fuller woman is much more attractive than a skinny sukked up woman any day...

    Comment: Oh my god, that's why most of the marriages nowdays ended in divorce, they focus in banal things such as dress that you're never gonna wear again. I'm not saying that girls shouldn't look beautiful on their wedding days, after all, we're girls, we always wanna look beautiful but man killing yourself trying ..that's stupid!.In my country the bride's father pay for everything, i was the youngest and my father wanted to give me a big great wedding but i told him that i didnt need a big party and that i wasn't gonna let him spent his saving on that, instead he could help us out with the down payment for our first house, and that is what he did. The party all planned, decorated, catering by my sisters, ( i have 6) was perfect, beautiful and we loved it. I wasn't into "lose-20lbs-perfect dress-perfect cake-acne free-kind of thing, to me the idea of getting married was the thing that kept me awake all night, is this the right thing to do? am i too young? ( i was 18) should we wait a little more? is this for he for real or is he going to change after all this? and the pressure of everybody saying that i was probably pregnant or that we were not going to last a year and so many things , and i'm being honest, i love my husband but thinking on spending you life together with a person you just meet last year is something that you should think HARD and that was what gave a big Pimple in my cheek that day !agrr...the party was a celebration for me and my husband and my family, the union of two families, a kind of saying good byes to all our friends and family because we were going to live in another city , we had fun and everyone else did too. Now, 11 years ago , I looked at our wedding photos, even the one with the damn shiny red pimple,and I just said what a great day! We have two beautiful angels, one 7 the other one 9 months, we have a great family , great house house, and great things that we achieve together, we are not perfect but nobody is, and everytime we go back to our country we celebrate our aniversary with all our friends and family mainly because is close to christmas but the real reason is to show them that is posible,..you know, "we're still together after 11 years SUCKERS" kind of thing..

    Comment: There is nothing wrong with teeth whitening and facials before your big day. However a red flag should be thrown when you are vomiting, going on insane diets, or taking laxatives to lose the weight. I'm getting married this June and when I tried on my dress in September, a size 8 fit me perfectly. At the time I was 158 pounds and I'm 5'3". I wanted a little cusion so what did I do? The right thing.... I stopped buying and eating the tons of Doritos, Oreos, and stopped drinking insane amounts of Coca-Cola. I replaced that with water, water, water, and more water, fruit, and healthy snacks. I stopped eating out of boredom and I picked up on exercise. Nothing big, just taking a 15 minute walk everyday. I still eat what I want to for the most part, I just eat slower and take smaller portions. I've lost 12 pounds since then and those are very small changes. I'm perfectly happy with where I am and I'm seeing a little more muscle too!!

    By the way I'm also a registered nurse and have never heard of a BMI of 20 being "adult failure to thrive". Normal BMI is 18.5-24.9-- just as children, adults can be naturally petite too. It's not like she went from a BMI of 24 to a BMI of 20. However I'm not a hospice nurse, so that may be the protocol for that area of patient care.

    Comment: There is nothing wrong with pampering yourself with facials and teeth whitening for you big day. However a red flag should be thrown if you are going so far as to vomit, go on insane diets (or not eat at all), and take laxatives to lose the weight. I'm getting married June of this year and my size 8 dress fit perfectly the day I picked it out. At that time, I was a 158 pounds and I'm 5'3". I wanted a little cushion room, so what did I do? The right thing...I stopped buying (and eating) Doritos, oreos and Coca-Colas and things of that sort. Replaced it with water, water, water, more water, fruit, and similar healthy snacks. I'm a HUGE snacker. I still eat mostly what I want to, but I eat much slower and in smaller portions. I don't eat out of boredom. I also picked up the exercise. You don't have to do hour long aerobics, do something simple like take a 15 minute walk everyday. Since September I've lost 12 pounds and am seeing a little muscle now! Those were VERY small changes, I'm sure if I had REALLY gotten into it, I'd be rail thin (not that I want to be). I'm very happy with where I am now, but even AFTER the wedding I'm going to continue my regimen. It's just sad that society puts so much pressure on women to be forever young and "beautifully thin". I got curves and LOVE them!

    I'm also a registered nurse and I've NEVER heard of a BMI of 20 considered "adult failure to thrive". Normal BMI is 18.5-24.9.... just as children, adults can be naturally petite too.

    Comment: I had the big perfect wedding. I wore the perfect dress, had my hair and nails done. Showed off the perfect tan. What would I change? EVERYTHING except the groom! After 21 years of marriage, I only remember those people attending my wedding that were important to me and meant the world to me. I don't remember this distant cousin or that one. Keep your wedding intimate and managable because the day goes by too quickly to even bother getting that stressed out about it. Focus on your husband-to-be, your honeymoon and building your life together. The people who attend your wedding are only going to talk about how beautiful you look until the next wedding they attend anyway. So be happy with yourself and focus on you and your groom!

    Comment: I had the big wedding. The dress was perfect, hair done, nails done, the perfect cake, tons of people. What would I change? Everything but the groom! I'd keep him and ditch everyone and everything else. Weddings have become way too much of a production. My advice to people getting married - keep it small and intimate. Invite only those people who are close to you and mean everything to you. Trust me, after 21 years of marriage, you will only remember those people who mean the world to you as being at your wedding. The others fade away. Keep it small and manageable as the day goes by too quickly. You will be the "perfect" bridge no matter what happens around you. Focus on the honeymoon and your life together.

    Comment: A wedding is only the ceremony signifying that a man and woman have pledged to spend their lives together. The marriage begins on the honeymoon. Instead of spending thousands on a wedding, which is fun but not crucial, spend time and money planning a great honeymoon that will set you up for a lifetime of fond memories. My husband and I were married in my sister's living room with 20 guests present; my dress was $80 from an after prom sale rack, a neighbor baked our wedding cake and my mother and I prepared food for a buffet dinner. I was a nervous wreck, enjoyed the day for the most part but felt relieved when it was over. Our honeymoon was FABULOUS! We spent ten days in London, enjoyed every minute of it, wallowed in each other's company, walked all over the city (because we were not exhausted from a blow out wedding!) and came home happy, refreshed, feeling married and ready to return to the real world of jobs, bills and car tune-ups. My beloved husband has passed on after 17 very happy years together, and those bright honeymoon memories are more precious to me than ever -- I am so glad we had that wonderful start to our marriage.

    Comment: As a certified Hospice nurse I can tell the bride in your story that a BMI of 20 meets the criteria for the diagnosis " adult failure to thrive." It also can quaify someone for end of life, palliative care!

      Comment: are you kidding nurse Nana? BMI of 20 is slim but hardly Dying, get some refresher courses, I am 110 lbs ,about 5.2' not fat, not skinny, but a damn good nurse too.

    Comment: I can relate to this article and I can kind of understand why brides are wanting to loose weight so fast.... I just got married in October; I basically had 5 months to plan my wedding (we were engaged at the end of May) and things were SO hectic with planning everything I didn't even really think about my looks or weight until about a month or so before the wedding so once I did it was like "Oh no.... I only have this much time....!" It ended up being where I lost 7lbs. any way just because all the stress....! It was very unhealthy and now that I look at the pics I notice in some of them that I have a lolly pop shape body (where my head is bigger than the rest of my body). I have to admit though at the time.... I felt good about myself and especially being only 18 and having the pressure of what my friends thought of my looks and all.... I think if it happened all over again there would be nothing I'd change just because the pressure and stress; something you feel like you can't really help.

    Comment: Your wedding is not about your vows. Its a celebration of you two with the rest of your family. Your vows are done when he proposed to you, when you said yes. The vows are done when you have showed him your love, your respect and the day that he decided to spend the rest of his life with you. I'm not saying to go crazy on spending because very good many of you here have spend less than $10,000 for your weddings. I'm saying that i disagree with few comments here. My wedding day is ONLY MINE and that day i will be THE PRINCESS because my husband to be and my-self are celebrating the day when we become one.

  • Posted By: DeNoLa @ 03/02/2008 1:33:49 PM

    Comment: There is nothing wrong on wanting to look good on your wedding day. The problem is to be sure that is what you want and keep it as a goal, not as an obsession. The person that proposed to you the way you are today will love you just like that in the days to come as well. I read some of the comments and i didn't like the fact that few people here made offensive comments about girls that try to change their life by wanting to change and look different. Be realistic not haters. Educate yourself, stop being ignorant. There is nothing wrong on trying to change. Taking care of your-self is very important. The question is: Are you doing it because it makes you feel better or because of the pressure that people put in you?

    Comment: Ridiculous and revolting. As a chick, I'm so tired of the misconception that all women want -- and are somehow entitled to -- a splashy, perfect wedding. The day is not all about *you*, girls. You're not a Disney Princess, and you might as well stop trying to be one. Your wedding is a celebration of your marriage and the love you share w/ your guy. Society has to stop valuing the wedding -- a one-day party that rarely goes exactly as planned -- over the marriage. Spending $30,000 on a party? Starving yourself into a dress? You can keep your overbloated shows of vanity. I'll elope and put some of that money toward an aawesome honeymoon instead.

    Comment: The "perfect" wedding doesn't buy a lifetime of memories. I know a girl (very wealthy by means of her father) had an incredible wedding, but she was too stressed out about it to enjoy it. Now she's getting a divorce. My wedding was only $3,000 and it was beautiful and memorable. The vows ARE what's important in a wedding because it's your love for one another that you're actually celebrating. People who need perfection to make them happy lack character. They can't see the beauty in the flaws.

    Comment: I think perhaps looks and weight loss are more of a concern than they were in the past because so many more people are fat today. CDC statistics show that women aged 20-29 were nearly 29 pounds heavier on average in 2002 compared to 1960. The pressure to lose weight doesn't seem to be doing much to improve things however, since many women resort to crash dieting and quickie solutions that don't do much to help, rather than spending the time to learn how to get in shape properly.

    Comment: your future husband fell in love with you, he loves everything about you, I say, have your hair & make-up done,choose the right dress, & be healthy& happyy & the only time you will look more beautiful is the nine months you carry your child,& the day you give birth.

  • Posted By: DeNoLa @ 03/02/2008 10:51:08 AM

    Comment: It all about your budget. If you can afford it then why not? Why not have the perfect wedding of your dreams. I don't need to be like a celebrity, 'cuz i was born one. I'm smart, i'm beautiful, i have the perfect life. No, i'm not rich but i'm happy with what i am, what i have, and what i've accomplished in my life so far. I'm getting married next year and just like every other girl i'm thinking about my dress, my hair and make-up and much more. It's not about your vows, because your vows are what you have showed to the person that made him love you and want to spent the rest of their life with you. Your vows are the love and the respect that you give to the person you love. Obsession is when you overdo things. When you go over your budget limits and put your self in debts. when you try to be something you are not. etc........... If you can't afford to have what you have dreamed, don't hate the people that are doing so. Please be realistic and stop the ignorance. Wedding is a business, but the memories of it will alst forever. --- just like a diamond ring that you like to have on your finger.

    Comment: I am getting married in August. Our wedding will cost no more than $5,000. I bought my dress at the Goodwill store for $75 and it's new and absolutely beautiful. I am a size 7-8 and my dress is a size 14. I am perfectly happy with my body. My fiancee thinks I look fine and I believe him. Not all brides are dollar-obsessed, weight obsessed idiots. Your wedding day should be about about your vows,
    not how perfect you look. It's important to look good on this very importat day, but lets not get obsessed over it.

    Comment: what happened to 2 people who love each other who want to share a special day with friends and family. when did we allow hollywood, the media, etc.. start to define what a bride should look like? I've worked in 3 bridal salons, every bride is beautiful! I find this disturbing that in this extreme of trying to be as perfect as possible there is the potential to forget all about the other part of the wedding ceremony equation.

  • Posted By: deborahk702 @ 03/02/2008 2:40:21 AM

    Comment: I don't see what is wrong with wanting to look your very best on one of the most exciting days of your life. It is however sad when the bride-to-be is extremely unrealistic when it comes to wanting to be a size six , when she's a size 14 six months before her big day.

  • Posted By: non hater @ 03/02/2008 2:11:17 AM

    Comment: It's unfortunate that in the year 2007, women still find themselves desperately trying to be beautiful, for whatever reason. HOW have we come to this? And why are we SO stupid and bored that our society just can't get past LOOKS! A wedding is a formal ceremony for two people to express their love and ultimate devotion to each other. And the guests are invited as witnesses and loving participants. It is not about the neccessity for a woman to look beautiful, but again, everyone in society EXPECTS that this will be so. Can you imagine the guests NOT commenting on "the beautiful bride"? Beauty and looks are ALWAYS all about the female, never the male. And this is still unfortunately so because women still allow "the acceptance" of women to be determined by men. Perhaps this is because the ratio of women to men in our country is still slightly higher, and men still literally "have their pick" of women. The pressure is so great to be the perfect beauty for a man and to be the perfect pleaser so that he won't "wander" and find another, that women have gone off the deep end. How very sad that we have almost become equals in terms of citizenry, but this one problem of STILL being forced to please men (and now everybody else) with looks, just won't go away.

  • Posted By: ajmcadoo @ 03/02/2008 1:55:55 AM

    Comment: I find this to be absolutely beyond ridiculous!!! Having been a bride myself & will be again soon, I of course want to look at my best, but the best that I am, not some extreme creature created for one day of my life. Society places WAY too much emphesis how people look and not the whole substance of a person unfortunately. This is just one more example of such. When are we as a society going to stop and say enough already. And yes, I could go through all that if I chose to do so and there was a time in my life when I did do so, however, I woke up and realized it wasn't worth it and the possible worse damage I was actually doing to my body far outweighed "the natual" look.

    Comment: how shallow, please be happy on your wedding day, plan simple & make sure that all your guest are having GREAT TIME, because you have your whole life to be together. People will talk, no matter if you spend $50 000 or &5 000, that's some people's nature. Enhance your beauty with some nice make up, pick up your dress in the shop that has your taste, your size, not the highest priced junk. if you are happy that you are getting married to the right person, than, what counts it's what's in your heart , not what's in your wallets or on credit cards. Be debt free, be honest, form a life partnership & you will shine more then all the botax, fake boobs & $1000000 wedding-- that no one will really remember but you two. I did it 40 years ago, never resented, I still always look nice & cheerful for my husband as he does for me. That's what counts in Utah & every othe State of the USA

    Comment: I'm on my 3rd marriage, my husband and I got married with a couple of friends and family, and now are in the process of planning our formal wedding. I have never had that formal celebration before. It was always in Las Vegas, not that there isn't anything wrong with Vegas, but I was 5 months pregnant both of my previous weddings. My husband's and my plans are to have a humorous celebration of marriage, because humor is so important, and we will say our vows in front of our friends and family with a great deal of love and fun. That's what a wedding should be about. We don't have much money, but we do ok.

    Comment: I got married in 2004, spending less than $2,000 and had a guest list of almost 200 people. We pulled it off with a lot of creativity and help from friends. A friend of mine took the pictures, another decorated with flowers, dozens of people made food... and I (the bride) was in the kitchen for hours the day before helping prepare food. A friend made the cake... our attendants chose thier own dresses within the color scheme. It worked, and it was lovely. I didn't worry about things being perfect... A wedding is just a day. A marriage is supposed to be everlasting.

    Comment: One of the nice things about getting married while 5 months pregnant (moral issues aside, wise guys -- we'd been civilly married for 2 years and this was the church wedding) was that I didn't have to worry about my figure, i could barely see my feet, and I was more interested in comfort than beauty. I highly recommend getting married pregnant (except of course for MY daughter!!!) It takes a lot of stress off!

  • Posted By: schnauzermoms @ 03/01/2008 9:49:17 PM

    Comment: The pressures that brides put on themselves today is just ridiculous! I got married 2 1/2 years ago, proudly wearing a size 16 dress that I got for under $300. My best friend did my flowers and cake as well as being my maid of honor. My husband bought a new suit and tie for the wedding. A friend of his did a couple CD's of music for our reception. We had the reception in the parish hall at church and the ladies of the church supplied the finger food. We managed to have a beautiful, meaningful wedding for under $1000, I didn't have to be a Bridezilla to look like a princess, my husband was the most handsome man I have ever seen, and there was so much love that all the other frou frou stuff wasn't necessary. So it is possible to have a beautiful wedding without breaking your budget or your health. After all, all that really matters is the guy standing next to you and if he's not happy with you just as you are, you need to find another guy! BTW, we are even happier and more in love than we were on our wedding day.

I get that this is the big day and girls have been thinking about this day since they were very little.If you have to turn yourself into somthing that your not just for this man then your doing it for some secondary reason, being either to show off to other women or to get it into your mind that you have given everything to make yourself perfect and expecting your intire marage to go perfectly in return. dont set yourself or your marage up for disapointment thats not what its about. its not a compatition and your spouse is there to correct things when needed. If its a true companionship it will work. but dont expect it to be easy. its alot of work and there is almost no other person that will be that close for that long Think about that.

    Comment: Laugh Laugh Laugh..... Hillarious how people (women who think they NEED---and the men who pay for all this unnecessary bullpucky) The perfect wedding is not in the dress or the teeth or the hair or the tuxes or the flowers. The perfect wedding is in the LOVE. The whole reason (or is supposed to be the reason) why you would be getting married in the first place. Before my wedding my husband got a brand new credit card and gave it to me and said use this for the wedding. (very cool I might add) I could have gotten lots and lots of pretty things plus we have 5 kids that all needed to be dressed for the wedding too. Instead of doing what a majority of women would do, I went instead to the local second hand store and bought a very very pretty wedding dress for next to nothing I also bought my husband's tux jacket and my oldest son's tux jacket. For my little girls I found three matching dresses at Wal-mart I also ordered the cake there and that is also where we bought the rings. WHY??? Because the wedding is NOT the most important thing in a marriage. My husband wanted to buy me a bigger prettier wedding ring here a little while back. I said no, the ring he bought me is the ring I'll wear for the rest of my life because it doesn't matter where it comes from or how much it cost it's the ring my husband gave me. People are sick to spend the amount of money on weddings from what I've heard and seen. Spend less money and time on the wedding and more time on the marriage, spend that extra money something that really matters.

    Comment: It is an interesting and sad statement on the mindset of many American women these days. I feel validated, because I have said for some time that most of them are nuts! Who could marry a bridezilla like these?

    Adding insult to injury, most media articles on this subject usually blame the men, usually in some made up scenario where the women feel inferior because of something some man said. But it has been my experience, and the experience of many of my male friends, that no matter how much you tell her she looks great, that you are happy with her the way she is, she will still go wacko on you and go down these self-destructive paths.

Also, think of this... a guy blamed killing a guy for eating too many twinkeys! Remember, when people get in trouble, they'll use anything for their defense to get out of it.

I happen to be a girl, and i happen to have my parents that have been married for 18 years, so your comment that men need new puss is totally wrong! and the reason why some marriages end in divorce, is because one partner either cheated on the other (mainly the man who is also a low life scum!) or one partner didn't want to change their ways to keep the marriage (also the man who is a low life scum). So please keep your filthy low-down dirty comments to yourself. they are definently not appreciated.

      Comment: Dave307 how old are you? Sounds like something my 18 year old cousin who has NO IDEA what the real world is about would say. Just go back to your ass shaking videos and your porn and make yourself busy. The garbage spewing from your brain is cloggin up my screen and getting in the way of the opions that matter. BTW... when your old and gray and alone becuase you have nobody to empty your bed pan... becuase you needed some "new puss", please remember your post on this site...LOL!

      Comment: Men like you are a major part of the problem in our society and someday, women will find ways to dispose of you as a useless man.
