Also a 2014 bride! Just got engaged 12/14/12 and we're waiting until I'm done with my graduate program. Our wedding date is 10/11/14. I would like to lose 25 lbs and look AMAZING in my dress

Hi everyone! got engaged 4.28.12 and planning 7.11.14 wedding. feel free to add me!

Hi, I'm hopefully a 2014 bride too - though at the moment haven't decided on ANYTHING!

We got engaged on 7th December 2012, and so far all I know is we both want to get married abroad. Looks like it will be 2014 at the earliest as we both want to get in shape and we also have to save for our wedding fund!

Anyone feel free to add me, I know could do with the motivation! :flowerforyou:

What have we done? We looked at possible dates. I want a winter wedding. We've both been married before - him in January so he's ruled that out. We ruled out December because it intereferes with Christmas. That left February. So we googled Super Bowl 2014 and ruled out 2/1. We also ruled out 2/15 - too close to V-day and too cliche for me. We're set on 2/8 or 2/22. The date we choose depends upon which one is available when we the venue opens for reservations.

I also have my dress picked out and hanging in my closet. Eggplant. Very non-traditional but it's my favorite color and goes well with silver and icy lavender for a twist on a winter theme. Now I hope I don't get too skinny for my dress before then.

Anyone can feel free to add me.

As for planning we have set our date, that's about it. We're touring a few reception venues February 9 and hopefully having our interview with the church at that time as well (we're having a Catholic wedding and it's required of us to be interviewed by the priest).

Hi all, just joined MFP, got engaged in Nov and getting married in Jan 2014

Hi, got engaged on 12/21/12... the day the world was supposed to end lol.. running joke now... but wedding is set for January 2014. I really need motivation to lose some more weight before the big day but doesnt help that I am an emotional stress eater and the whole wedding thing with my mother has got me very stressed out. Been trying to get back on track but been super hard this past month.
Thought I'd join this group for support and to be supportive as well.

engaged around jan/feb 2012, wedding july 4, 2012

mostly because of money problems (i work at mcdonalds, he is currently attending college with no job)

somewhat to enjoy being young and not "tied down"

although, we pretty much act however a stereotypical married couple would act already.

Sooo, we picked our venue! Going to go and pay the deposit on Sunday I am so excited!

Now If I could peel off the next 12 pounds I can start trying on dresses.

I figure if I loose half of the total that I want to loose by the wedding that should put me in a good position for alterations and whatnot!

Hi there!

I just wanted to introduce myself and wish everyone luck on here - I'm getting married next summer, and I feel like if I don't meet my weight loss goals with that kind of motivation looming, when will I? My goal is to lose 35 pounds before I have to walk into a store to dress shop!

Same! We got engaged 29.10.11 (ages ago!) and I'm not getting married until 23.09.14, mainly so that I have the time to lose the 84lb that has slowly crept up on me over the last 7 years!

Hi! Another 2014 bride here! We got engaged 4-28-12 and are getting married 7-4-14. We were going to get married July 13th of this summer but due to money and me not feeling ready (with my weight) we postponed it until next summer!

Hi everyone! Congrats to all of you. :-)

My fiance' and I just got engaged on New Years Eve 2012 and we will be getting married July of 2014! We were originally planning on June of 2013, but his brother, who had only been dating his girlfriend for a couple of months, proposed before my man did and they set their date. Worked out well for us so we have extra time to save money (we are going to be buying our first house around the same time), extra time to plan since most everyone is coming from four different states, and extra time for me to finally reach my goal weight and get fit/in shape! I only have about 10-15 lbs to go, 20 lbs if I am really conscientious, and I am hoping to lose this/tone up by the time I start looking at dresses this July!

We've set our venue for ceremony and reception, booked the DJ, started our registries, and booked the photographer- our engagement photo shoot session is next Saturday, March 16th! :-) Got a lot of the big stuff out of the way so we can really start hitting it hard with other stuff this summer, a little at a time.

Hey everyone. We got engaged December 25, 2012 and are getting married October 4, 2014 - need to get in some serious shape before then LOL!

Congratulations, ladies!

I got engaged 1/1/2012 and thought it would be forever before seeing anyone else even considering planning a wedding in 2014! So glad we're finally at this point!

Our wedding is 8/1/2014 in Riverside, California. We decided to wait mainly to save, so I just decided to drop 30 lbs in the interim.

We have our venue, photog, and our save the dates. I even have my dress (bought while at my heaviest, so I'm SOOOO excited to finally try it on without all that extra weight).
