COME SIT BY ME. đ©” Your wedding planner bestie has something to tell youâŠ
You do NOT have to lose weight to get married.
I was sitting at the doctorâs office today, scrolling as one does, and I saw post after post from brides worried about losing weight before their wedding.
And I see the ads too. The second you start searching wedding dresses, venues, flowers or anything wedding related, suddenly your algorithm decides you also need to âget wedding ready.â
Keep. Freaking. Scrolling.
You searched for wedding inspiration. You did not ask the internet to tell you your body needed to change before you were worthy of wearing a wedding dress.
As someone who has struggled with my weight for most of my life, I understand that looking in the mirror and loving what you see isnât always as easy as someone telling you that youâre beautiful.
I worried about it before my own wedding too. I wasnât a size 2. And guess what?
I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day.
And after years of working with brides, I can tell you I have NEVER looked at one and thought, she should have lost weight.
I see her happiness. I see her light up in her dress. I see the way her partner looks at her coming down the aisle.
Your person chose YOU. Not you minus 20 pounds. Not some imaginary âwedding-readyâ version of you.
So take care of yourself because you love yourself, not because you think you need to shrink yourself before youâre worthy of being a bride.
Wear the HELL out of that dress.
And when your wedding photos come back, before you look at your arms, your stomach, or whatever part of yourself youâve decided youâre supposed to criticizeâŠ
Look at your face. Look at how happy you are.
Thatâs what everyone who loves you sees too. đ©”
đ And yes, I am fully aware of the one rogue long strand of hair hanging out on the wrong side of my part for this entire video. Apparently she also wanted her moment. Whoopsie.
