Freaking Out...

I had a major breakdown last night.  My wedding is about a month away, YAY, but I'm so stressed.

I just started freaking out about how I'm going to look cause I'm not where I want to be with my weight.  My dress fits but it's TIGHT.  I also realized I have never actually tried to sit down in the dress so I'm worried about that.  The bridal salon has it for a other week so they can press it for my bridal portraits, I guess we will see how that goes when I get it back.

And I am also nervous about my wedding video and I feel like I'm going to hate it and never want to watch it cause of how I look. You can edit photographs but I can't do anything about the video.  My FI is being supportive and trying to reassure me that he thinks I'm beautiful but I just don't want to look back on my wedding and hate how I look.

Have any of you felt this way? Any Advise?

    I am sure you will look fine!  I often feel the same way about myself but then I remember how many people love me for me and it makes it a bit easier.

    As far as the fit, did you have your final fitting yet? I know most dresses come with a little extra in the seems so you can adjust it accordingly.  Also cut back/cut out salt as that is a major water retainer and hit the gym to sweat any excess salt out.  

    But most of all smile and be happy! You're getting married!

    Are you getting your hair and makeup professionally done?  I hate being photographed, however once I had on my dress and my hair and makeup were done, I felt absolutely amazing.  I did not shy away from any photos that day.  We have some amateur video, and I love that too!  Good luck!
