Plus Size Bride - feeling good about these photos!

As a bigger girl (street size 14-16) I was super self conscious about being a "fat bride" and had the MOST trouble finding a dress that fit and looked good - it took forever!! And I was honestly very concerned about how pictures would turn out. I spent months dieting, exercising, and crying before the wedding before finally realizing that my fiancé wanted to marry me regardless, and the only way I would  be really happy on my wedding day was if I learned to love myself as is. I have to say that I had a BLAST- and ate so much good food!! 

For ladies who are trying so so hard to diet to reach a "goal" before an event, whether it is your own wedding, a friend's wedding you are a bridesmaid in, prom, whatever!! Remember that ultimately your experience of life depends mainly on your own satisfaction and love of yourself - not dropping a dress size. 

Feel free to share your own wedding photos that you feel like a QUEEN in - bride, bridesmaid, or guest!
