Chill!
Loubylou--
I'm going against the grain on this one.
Don't fall into this trap, please. I am more than 100lbs overweight myself, and was only a few pounds lighter at my wedding than I am two years later (though I'm now on a diet plan on my terms!).
Wedding planning is incredibly stressful. Families lose their minds, feelings get hurt, everyone wants to voice opinions, and it's your job to manouever those land mines and keep yourself sane.
If you want to lose a few (5 or 6) pounds to make yourself feel better, go nuts. If you feel like you need to lose 100 pounds before your wedding you will MAKE yourself nuts.
The best wedding advice I ever got was to remember to make myself and my fiance happy before everyone else.
Was my fiance going to refuse to marry a bride in a plus-sized dress? **** no. Even in a plus-size dress (two sizes larger than when we met, by the way!) he tried to get me out of it before we even made it back to the honeymoon suite.
My wedding dress was a size 22 and it was the happiest day of my life. I felt (and looked, judging by the pictures) absolutely radiant.
Best of luck in your wedding planning!
