One day I met a boy. I didn't think anything about him romantically and for 6 years we were best friends. He confessed to me his love. I decided to give it a chance. One second into 2010 he proposed to me. I'm getting married to this amazing best friend. Proving that fat girls do get married. Who knew, right?
A few months before we got engaged I was perusing the magazines at the local Hastings where I was confronted by may beautiful women sizes 0-2 modeling wedding gowns. I thought to myself, "Surely there have to be some plus sized models in here". I wish you could see my face and the slow 'no' head shake I was doing when I wrote my thought. I didn't see even a size 10. There might have been a size 8 girl in there. I'll spare you the diatribe about how I don't think size 10 is plus sized.
Seeing as how I'm a size 22, I know that any of the dresses that are 20 sizes smaller than I am aren't going to fit my body properly. Before Derek, my fiance, and I decided on having a theme wedding I was sick to my stomach thinking about how I'm going to live up to those tiny girls. Fat girls get married all the time! How is it there aren't more supportive magazines and websites encouraging full figured/plus sized women?
While I am having a themed wedding. I'm also a fat girl who has to deal with how the world treats fat brides as though they should be skinny on their wedding day. I'm hoping this blog will become a good resource or a go-to site for fat girls getting married. I'm here for you all!
