I’ve accepted that I will be a fat bride.

03Sep09

The other day I read A Fat Bride Survival Guide and it struck a chord with me. When I’d gotten engaged, I’d told myself I’d get down to a size 10 and I’d look fabuuuuulous on my wedding day!
Yeah, that didn’t happen.
2009 has been one of the most stressful years I’ve ever lived through, [...]

Am I nuts?

27Aug09

Since hurting my knee the other day, I’ve been off my exercise routine. This has me worried, since I’m getting married in a month and my dress doesn’t exactly fit. I don’t really want to stress out a week or two before the wedding, and I also don’t want to dreaded back cleavage one can [...]

Well, it fits! Er, kind of.

28Jul09

My second dress arrived from David’s Bridal yesterday. I have to hand it to them, they ship VERY quickly. I placed my order on Thursday and had it on Monday. The dress is super cute and has a very vintage feel to it that I love. There’s just one problem. It doesn’t really fit.
I’m not [...]

The third option it is!

23Jul09

I ordered the third dress today. I’m actually quite excited to get it and see how it looks on me! Best of all, I found a coupon code for free shipping so that saved me $13! W’hoo.
I really see myself in a short dress on the day, all day. Walking down the aisle without [...]

A third option.

22Jul09

Thanks to all of you who left comments about my dress dilemma. I am leaning towards getting the dress from David’s Bridal. My only problem with the dress is like my original dress, it has a low-cut back. This means I’ll have to spend some cash to get an undergarment that doesn’t show under it. [...]

Which dress?

21Jul09

Even though I have already purchased a lovely dress for my wedding, I’m doubting it. It is a very pretty dress, but it’s also pretty uncomfortable. I’d also need to get a corset and REALLY high heeled shoes to make me tall enough so I don’t fall on my butt. I’d always planned on being [...]

The verdict: My dress

26May09

When I finally got to see it on Friday, I was happy to find that my dress actually fit! Well, almost. I basically need a better bra/corset, as the straps were loose, and it was a bit tight in the stomach area, but I’ve gained some weight since I was measured, so that wasn’t a [...]

Mother, don’t make me kill you!

14May09

Yesterday I had a mild freak-out yesterday when I tracked my dress and DHL tracking said it was being delivered to the wrong city! I contacted Milly Bridal and they assured me they sent it to the right address. Today my dress arrived, which is a lot quicker than I expected!
I tell my mother to [...]

Dress update

07May09

I mentioned previously that my dress is coming from Milly Bridal. I tracked my order earlier this week and noticed that it said I was supposed to get my dress on 4/28, which has obviously come and gone, so I e-mailed them. As usual, I got a prompt response saying that my dress had been [...]

One thing at a time.

17Nov08

When the boy and I started dating, it only took about a month before I started looking at wedding websites to get an idea of what I would like for our day. My ideas have changed a few times, but I’m glad I did this because I really thought I would be overwhelmed by it [...]
