Just to let you all know how my wedding as a fatty went.
I felt an absolute million dollars and despite being a stone overweight my dress looked amazing.
Best advice I can give you is buy the dress that flatters you and your figure, not what you think will flatter you. Try loads of styles on and make sure your hair and make up is the best you can afford.
I had an absolutely amazing day and didnt once worry about my weight or how I looked.
If you want to lose weight for health reasons then do it. But don't do it because you are getting married. It's a fuckton of pressure on you and will spoil your run up to your day. We only got married because of legal stuff and protecting ourselves. Never had a hankering for a 'Big Day'.
But it really, really was the most amazing, beautiful, fun day of my life. We did everything our way, was a simple service, home made flowers and cake, no photographer, only a couple of very short thank you speeches. Basically the complete opposite to the Royal Wedding.
Loved every single second of it and spent zero time worrying about my weight.
