I'm getting married in Mexico in June and I am on the larger side. If I do lose some weight before then, its still not going to be enough.
My question really is did you feel any less glamourous in your wedding dress because you were bigger, or look at your photos after and cry about how fat your face was?
I want this to be the best day of my life.

I'm certainly not a skinny thing and I haven't seen my cheekbones for a while. I got married in December, in Mauritius, in a light dress and felt fabulous! The photos looked great, but I have some tips for you:
facing the camera, tilt your face up a little and look slightly down your nose at the camera. That removes the extra chins!
Holding your bouquet, pull your arms to the front of you and down rather than at the side. That instantly makes the line of your body slimmer (it's hidden behind your arms).
Photos that are slightly side on are always more flattering than face on, and your bouquet can easily hide a tubby tum (mine did!).
Hairstyles help enormously - try something that pulls the hair up, not back -it 'lifts' the face. But not too tight, pile some on the top of your head or backcomb so you have more hair above your forehead .... it will add height.
There's plenty of little tips like that. However, do remember that no-one will scrutinise the photos like you will! You will look at the photos, as we all do, as see the imperfections, however everyone else will see you smiling, your fabulous dress, your lovely hair, your dazzling smile and the exhilaration of your wedding all over your face. Trust me, that will shine through the photographs and will be what people see.
So relax but, if you must, try some of the ideas above. They worked for me!
Good luck, have a fabulous time!!!

Congratulations! You found a man who truly loves you because of you and not your body! He will prove to be there for you for the long run and not just while you look "good". Those are the best men, you will find. They seem to be more mature. Anyway, you are one lucky lady and he's a lucky man. Do your best to be healthy, but other than that, don't worry about it.
Also, you will find out that the "wedding" is different than the "marriage". Too many people put too much emphasis on the wedding part and not too much on the actual marriage.
It will be the best day of your life if you remember this and also because you are marrying someone who loves you because you are YOU!!!!

I was a size 28 when I got married and I felt wonderful.
For the first time ever I didn't run hiding when people came out with a camera.
I have to admit that I sometimes look at the wedding pictures and not being all to happy with how I looked cause of my weight, but when I remember how I felt it gets passed over.

Work with your dress shop, and get a style for your body type, make sure you have a good fit, you dont want to be uncomfortable on your wedding day. People are all different sizes in this world, what I think is crazy is when they try to fit into clothes not designed for the body type they are. Congrats, and enjoy your wedding!

You aren't going to make any real body changes until you are comfortable with who you are.
Now let's think another thing thru- you want this to be the happiest day of your life. You still have a good 30? 40? 60 more years to go.
my wedding day was such a welter of emotions. My size didn't even make the list.
Don't sweat it.

you should never ask these questions on here, you are giving those sizist idiots an opportunity to show their short sightedness and make you feel worse!
you are getting married because someone loves and adores you, and they love you because of the beauty they see in you. it does not matter what size you are, you have to be happy with you!
i know people who have lost stones and stones and are still unhappy and still resent how they look.
enjoy your day, revel in the love that will be bestowed on you then after, if you want to lose weight, do it gently over time, then when you look at your pics in years to come, you will say... look how happy i looked, and look at what i have achieved since....
good luck and be HAPPY!

I am a size 22 and never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. You need some self esteem girl! Someone loves you...he doesn't want you to be skinny! He loves you just the way you are. Honor yourself and your future husband by holding your head up and loving yourself just the way you are. Good luck Sweetie!

is your fiance marrying you because he thinks you're thin or because he loves you??
I think every woman wishes they were smaller when they see pics of themselves but the thing to remember especialy about wedding photos is that its not how we see ourselves its how our loved one sees us.. i'd guess your fiance is marrying you because he loves you so when he looks at those pics he's not going to see how fat you think you look he is going to see his beautiful bride and love of his life.. so if you want to lose weight you do it for you not because you're worried about how fat you'll look in your pics.. and yes I am heavy and i was 5 mths pregnant when i was married and i have never lost the weight..
and congratulations

Your fiance (presumably) loves you for the way that you are. Try going to weight watchers as you have six months to lose weight and could could conceivably lose up to 40 lbs safely by then.
In the meantime it is your day; enjoy it.

well i weigh 158lbs, i feel a little over weight but not fat. i wear a size 12. i would like to weigh 140lbs. i dont want to be skinny cause i think thats gross. i believe us women need some meat on our bones.
if your not happy w/ your weight your the only one that can change it. at one point in my life i weighed 175lbs, i felt fat then. but i did something about it. you need to just love yourself the way you are first, then make some changes in your life. you can do it.
