It used to be a fairytale, then I got fat.
Okay, okay, maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit... BUT seriously?!! 5 days before my wedding and my dress won't fit; and when my mother does finally get it hooked, my back looks like an accordion and I cannot breath; and who described my back as looking like an accordion? My brother; thanks, Tim.
So now, there will be no bridal shoot. No fun pictures, from a studio, to have edited and framed. Instead, there will be a refitting... again. This seamstress is a Godsend. Thank goodness she is back from her vacation and willing to meet with us for a 5th time. Considering all of the luck I've had in planning this wedding (the free bridal gown, the never-ending help and support from my parents, and being able to return home after a week of being evacuated), there had to be something. I was ready... not for this.
So what happens when you are too fat for your wedding dress? You don't go on a crash diet (I tried... stress just keeps the pounds on). You pray to God that your seamstress is available and amazing enough to alter your dress in time. You pray that, if she is not available, you won't faint during the ceremony. You pray that your hair or veil (if long enough) hides your disfigured back from your brother and everyone else. You pray... Hard.
5 days until the big day. I'm PRAYING!
Every girl would love to look most beautiful on her wedding day. If you are fat then you should lose weight so that you can look beautiful and slim on your wedding day.

Good to know, thank you :)
DeleteOh my gosh. That comment up there. I'm punching that person in the face right now in my mind. Is that uncharitable?
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I think you should retitle this post "when your wedding dress is so tiny regular human could wear it". No self-deprecating talk, woman! :)
Hahaha, I think I spat right in their face in my mind... uncharitable? Yes, but then I hugged them afterwards ;)
DeleteThank you for your lovely comment and the next time I am about to type up a self-depricating title for a blogpost, I'll make sure to stop and think, "What did Dwija say?!" ...Lesson learned. :P
Love your blog, by the way. Thank you for taking the time to check mine out!
