A More Bridal Post

Lately, I've been intensely stressed out, mostly about money and hardly about my upcoming wedding. I thought it would be nice to save the bummer posts for another day and show off some full on Wedding Inspiration Pic Spam.

As you may know, FH and I are having a Pirates vs Ninjas wedding, so our inspiration is going to be a little wackier than most people's.

Bride-spiration

I want this skirt:

with a corset bodice like this:


Likely, these boots:


And accessories:


Pearls <3


I don't have any earring ideas. I'd like really huge hoops but probably won't be very classy. lol. Maybe it would be good if I got something seahorse/turtle/anchor-y.

The bouquet (more flowers to come):


I want to carry this purse:


Having these ideas really help me to see what my wedding will look like. Of course with the corset the person that makes those asks for measurements so I'm not worried things fitting. Well, I am worried but not terribly. Not yet.

Bear in mind, all this is subject to change. I'm waiting til Halloween to see what they have in the way of costuming for pirates before I order anything. I might find something better or cheaper.

Hope all is well, ladies. I will attempt to post more. I'll definitely be posting about my venue and reception site. More about the Best Ninja and Matey of Honor as well.

The First Post

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!
