My wedding is on 18th September - that's 18 weeks tomorrow! In 2008 I lost 10 stone going from 24 stone to 14 in 9 months. I went down from a size 32 to a 14/16. However, in the past 6 months I've put on 5 stone again. I started back on CD 3 weeks ago but its coming off painfully slowly. I'm doing about 2lbs a week! Last time I had lost nearly 2stone in the first 3 weeks!!
I've spoken to the bridal shop and have an appointment on Tuesday. My problem is that I shall be 60 in 10 days time and most of the dresses out there are for young brides! I don't want a suit - that, to my mind, is for old ladies - and I may be 60 in body but I'm not ready to be old yet - too much living to do still!! I've explained the whole situation and the proprietor is going to get out some suitable dresses for me to try that she will be able to take in several sizes. This is a shop that sells 'off the peg' and some samples so I don't have to worry about 'order in' times.
Everything else is in hand: my fiance and I made all the invitations and I'm in the process of doing the Orders of Service, Place cards and favours. The men's suits are ordered and I know what the small bridesmaids and page boys are wearing but there's no point in buying them yet as three of them are only 2, one is 5 (all my grandchildren) and they will have grown so much by then. I don't know what the big bridesmaid (14) is going to wear yet so I have that, my dress, the cars and the flowers still to organise.
Mostly I'm quite chilled out about it all - but my dress is doing my head in!!!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!! Also suggestions for the sort of style deemed suitable for a 14 year old?
Thanks
Chris
