I will be you in about 8 months time! I have 65kg to lose and the thought of it is awful at the moment. Our wedding is June next year. Thank you for sharing this, gives me hope! Congrats!0

Congrats!! I just got married in July and it was SO much fun going dress shopping, and I wasn't even at my ideal weight yet! I ended up getting a dress in my current size and I got it altered from a 10/12 to a 4/6 (fortunately this dress was able to do that, normally I don't think you can alter that far down). I hope you have loads of fun - it was my -favorite- part of pre-wedding things!0

I am so excited to be going to try on wedding dresses with my mom this Sunday! A year and a half ago, I would have been dreading it. I am so grateful that I lost all that weight I didn't need.
Can I ask where you live?? I bought my wedding dress a week ago at Kleinfelds Bridal in NY and I loved it so much and I love my dress, killer price too!0 -
I got married at the end of November and it was just the best feeling to buy a wedding dress that was so much smaller than I'd ever imagined it would be. Congrats on your weight loss! I hope you have a wonderful wedding day. 0

I felt beautiful in my wedding dress. I was easily over 5 stone heavier than when I met my husband. My weight had ABSOLUTELY, nothing to do with how amazing I felt on my wedding day.
Your hubs sees YOU, not your dress size. May you both have many, many happy years ahead of you. Congrats! 0 -
Thanks so much everyone. I bought a dress today! It was difficult, because I liked pretty much everything I tried on! It really feels great to have a flat tummy and normal sized arms (I'm very short so my arms look chunky with pretty much any weight gain...t-rex arms
). But it was great, even though my mom cried a lot.
And Sabrina, I live in Phoenix so we just went to a local boutique shop. 0 -

Do we get a pic? I've had two weddings basically cause I love dresses well and the first guy was an idiot0 -

My mom took a photo of me in the dress, but she won't send it to me because she's convinced my fiancé will see it if she does (he won't).0 -
I'll be happy to show mine! I'm so excited to get it. I went back to purchase it two weeks after Christmas, (this photo) was from then.
I have lost 5lbs since then, and can't wait to see what it will look like when I get to my goal!0 -
Hey, gang! I know a GREAT wedding photographer... ME!!!0

I'm going to be starting my wedding dress hunt soon.
Its mad though the difference a couple of months can make! I wore a (normal) dress yesterday that I hadn't worn since the end of the summer and its way too big. I haven't lost that much weight, about 13lbs, but I have been working out so I reckon I've toned up a bit. I'm now wondering if I should postpone the dress shopping until nearer the wedding (which will either be Oct this year or March next...we will know by March).
I am so excited though about it!
Congrats to all of the brides. I'd say no matter what you will feel amazing on the day.

okay i convinced my mom to send me a pic! excuse the bunchy bottom, i am ridiculously short and this needs about 10 inches taken off the bottom haha! but it was a size 2 and fit perfectly. i'm so excited to wear it!!!!
oh and i didn't even bother with hair and makeup that day, as i was only looking for "styles" of dresses (and ended up buying the fifth dress I tried on). so don't judge me!
