I am married now, but I had a huge debate with myself and second guessing myself. My best advice is to stop looking at other dresses (magazines, advertisements, etc). Chances are, it's not really the dress you're doubting, but your overall "look" as a bride- at least that's how it happened for me. I found that I was super stressed about my overall look until about two weeks before the wedding, and then all of a sudden it clicked for me- I am going to be a beautiful bride no matter what! This same thing happened to a friend of mine. Hopefully it will happen to you, too. Keep your chin up, and keep working on your fitness. You will be beautiful no matter what!

I am seriously second guessing myself and my dress pick right now but thats likely due to the fact that I never tried it on before I bought it, yikes. I tried on so many dresses and I never found one I liked, there was one designer I saw online who had a dress I loved so I had the bridal store order it for me without ever seeing it in person...that was in November and I have to wait until March when it arrives to even try it on and to make me more nervous It had to be paid in full before it was ordered.
I'm terrified that when I finally go in for a fitting that I will be horribly let down and it will look terrible.
If you love your dress and are comfortable in it then I think you will look fabulous!

I bought my dress in May and got an excellent deal on it (it was a discontinued Raylia style for $300). I love it and it and I feel comfortable in it.
The problem is that I keep second guessing myself! Did I get the right dress? Did I get the right veil? I know this sounds stupid, but I'm worried about looking BAD on my wedding day! It's probably a ridiculous worry, but I'm afraid I'll get our pics back and look at myself and go "ew," either due to my weight or that I chose something that I wish I wouldn't have.
