While it’s one thing to remind people of the resources available out there, there’s also something to be said for reminding anyone hung up on weight, teeth or other physical aspects, about this undeniable fact:

Ladies and gentlemen, your wedding is a celebration of the love between you and your partner, and your partner loves you JUST AS YOU ARE.

If you want to use the wedding as an excuse to pamper or motivate yourself, go for it – but don’t lose sight of the fact that you wouldn’t be getting married at all if someone didn’t love you in the skin you’re in. And people who attend aren’t going to be looking at your teeth or your eyebrows or your belly or your rosacea – they’ll be looking at the love between you and your partner.

And who looks at old wedding photos, anyway? Just you, your kids if you have any, maybe the occasional family member or close friend… guess what? Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now, these people still won’t be looking at your teeth or your eyebrows or your belly or your rosacea.

They may, however, make fun of your old-fashioned clothes and hairstyle. And unless you can time travel or predict the future, there’s nothing you can do about that.
