Fair enough, you'll always stand out in a crowd that way! However, a teensy tiny bit of advice- most people lose weight before their wedding from stress, and gain weight after their wedding, too. I guess it's the more regular meals. (Or in my case, my husband's meatloaf, bastard that he is!) It's another reason for renting some things, especially close-fitting ones.

I'm going to go hold my wedding dress up to myself later and just laugh and laugh at the thought I had when I bought it that, "If I just take off the train, I'll have an evening gown!" I was married two years ago and had a 28 inch waist. Now it's 32. Alright, 34. Alright... I have an elastic tape measure. But my point here is don't expect everything to still fit for years and years down the line. We get older, our bodies change, even if it's not fat, but just shape.
