Have fun shopping for your dress. Did you see a picture of Ivanka Trumps wedding gown, Gorgeous, very romantic and not strapless, it has a little bit of a sleeve. I see strapless gowns that have so much boning they look like they could stand up by themselves. Exciting news about the house!

Picture this with spanx! My stomach looks amazing with the spanx.

The 8 zipped and fit like a glove, but I went up to the 10 so the top could be raised slightly to reduce so much "out there" boobage. Decided NOT to get the tiara

As I told my mom as I zipped effortlessly into every wedding dress we tried on, THIS is why I lost 75 lbs

Oh Glory, it and you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Exquisite in fact. LOVE the dress.

This reminds me. My daughter was recently engaged. And I knew that my daughters were approaching marriageable age and that was one of the reasons (like I didn't have enough already) that I HAD TO get the weight off. I could barely make it through someone elses wedding, yet alone one where I was the host. Now we are planning the engagement party, which is in less then 4 weeks. And I keep saying over and over again (mostly to myself), that this is exactly why I lost the weight. Something so joyous would have been a nightmare instead of the absolute joy, blessing and pleasure that it should be.

You are going to make one beautiful bride.

Oh and my daughter is also going with champagne/ivory.

Glory, you look beautiful in that dress! You will be a beautiful bride!

Like you, I was so happy that I had lost the weight when I went dress shopping and fit perfectly into all the sample dresses (some of them were even too big!). It was stressful enough trying to pick a dress without the added stress of not fitting in them.

That is a gorgeous dress and you look amazing in it, Spanx or no Spanx I'm sure! I followed the link in your original post to look at the dress in more detail--that is so simple and yet so very pretty. When is the date? We will want PICTURES of the event!

Late to the party.... Glory you look radiant in that dress even without the tiara! Isn't it still a thrill to zip effortlessly into clothing?

Congratulations

You look so beautiful, Glory! Congratulations again, and I'm so glad you got the dress of your dreams! Also, your stomach looks very nice, spanx or no spanx!
