So, I know I'm not on the site all that much but any support/words of wisdom would be appreciated.
My wedding is 2/29/08 and everything is booked. Literally all that's missing are the right before the wedding confirm flower choices, cake, etc. Everything is done.
Well, last week I had Thurs/Fri off. I asked my mom to come down and go dress shopping. I am not girly at all and I knew I would hate it. I did. I cried and I cried some more. I lost 120 lbs. when I met my fiance. I was unhealthy and terribly sick. He got me back on track and from that, I gained about 50 lbs back. Dress shopping made me feel horrible about myself and absolutely hate this wedding. I knew I would never go dress shopping again after last week so I bought this: http://davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=1242&prodgroup=134
Sorry I can't paste a picture but you get the idea. I didn't want to spend a lot because I knew I would hate the dresses and because my wedding isn't my entire life or focus. My dress will be the one pictures with the apple red sash that hangs the full length of the train. What does everyone think?
I'm so emotionally drained that I'm not even happy. Wedding planning was great but the dress experience was horrific and now I'm unhappy. I do like the dress. It doesn't come in until June so maybe I can get skinny again.
Ugh. I'm so drained/sad.
Anyone want a workout buddy at Bally's in Levittown? Or a Weight Watchers via email buddy?
Maybe if I wasn't so big right now I would feel better.
Sorry for my rant. It's just one of those days...or weeks.

YOur gown is so pretty and you will look beautiful on your wedding day. I love the sash - I had a sash on my dress and it added a perfect little touch!!! Don't be so hard on yourself. I was the same way and all in all I felt very good on my wedding day and you will too!!!!!

Re: I am not enjoying this anymore...
I know how you feel. I cant shop for jeans with out crying, I am putting off dress shopping for now!! I've only been on it once but there is a forum called 'slim down (Buff brides)' you can get there by clicking on wedding forums, scroll down its kinda near the bottom... I plan on using that for support! Hopefully I will see you there!!!

What a beautiful dress. Don't stress out. Some of us think the dress is important and some of us don't. You made a good choice tho

Re: I am not enjoying this anymore...
seriously, to all the brides out there - STOP IT!!! Stop torturing yourselves like that!! You dont deserve it!! You're beautiful!! Your FHs think so!! They find you to be the sexiest most attractive person in the world!!
We all torture ourselves like this - and why? because the dress makers, media, fashion designers, whatever say that to be beautiful is to be 90 lbs?!?!?!? F*ck that!!
honestly how sexy can it b to smash pelvic bones during intercourse? how hot can it be to caress your lover and feel a skeletal rib cage? how comfortable can it be to cuddle with a twig? (sorrry super-skinny girls)
You're beautiful the way you are and if you dont believe it - then whats wrong with FH for believing it?

This is the same dress I got!!!!! I LOVE IT and think it is classic and would flatter anyone. I think you will look gorgeous! Be happy with the dress :) I got the ivory sash :) In any case, you are a beautiful girl and will look beautiful in it. Congrats on all the weight you have lost! That's amazing!

Re: I am not enjoying this anymore...
Thank you all so, so, so much! You've really put everything into perspective and made me focus on the positive and be a bit more proactive. I walked 3 miles on my lunch break today and I've been eating right all week. I will get back into shape, be happy and most importantly, marry the love of my life.
Thank you ladies! You really helped me out!
It's hard being from Upstate NY and having a very small to non-existent support group here!
