Wedding Pictures- Sister-in-law comment

We had our detailed appointment with the photographer tonight. It went well. I was very excited, but later when I was on the phone with my soon-to-be sister-in-law I was telling her that I am upset I haven't lost any of the weight I wanted to and that I'm afraid that I will hate all the wedding pictures. Instead of insuring me that I'll look great, she replied, "Well you probably won't like any of the pictures because you're not happy with the way you look. Plus pictures always make everyone look even heavier then they are."
 
I was so upset after I hung up the phone. How could she say that? Now, I am sooooo worried that she is right and that I will hate all my pictures. Am I wondering why we are spending $3200 on an awesome photographer when I hate the way I look?  The ironic thing is that every time I have had a dress fitting I feel good about the way I look in my dress but now, just 16 days until the wedding day, I am questioning it. I wish I had confidence in my appearance, but at this weight I just don't.

  • Tara the photographer is there to capture the chemistry between you and your future husband. It is a work of art that photographers do. It sounds like you hired a great one and they would never send or post any unflattering pics because they are pros. As for your dress I'm sure you look stunning in it. It will be one of the happiest days of your life and it will show in the pictures!!! I'm sorry fsil said that you don't let it ruin your night.
  • Sweetie-
    I have never actually met you but I can tell you are beautiful.  On your wedding day you will be glowing.  You will have the biggest smile on your face for these reasons:

    1. this whole ordeal is amazing and you did it.

    2. you are marring the love of your life.

    3. this whole ordeal will be over ;)

    4. you have a wedding night and HM to look forward too. 

    Your SIL is probably jelouse about the spotlight being on your and her brother.  You will be amazing no  matter how you look cause you are the bride!  Be confident in yourself and it will show in photos and real life!

    Hey Tara, I'm so sorry your feeling like that. But keep in mind this simple fact. You look great in your dress. You look great in your dress which means that most of your poor self image is just nerves.
    I'm so sure you look amazing, Be excited girl we only have a couple of weeks left.
    And your FSIL is totally wrong that's a movie camera that adds extra lbs not a still camera...she's an idot, but forgive her an remember what weight you were when he proposed. Your FI loved you and knew you were beautiful then and knows your beautiful now.

    Congrats and be sure to post some pic's after the wedding.

  • Thanks guys! I love the confidence each of you provide me. I knew you guys could cheer me up.

    I spoke to my sister last night and told her what FSIL said and she assured me that I will look beautiful and that I have to ignore what she said. My sister also said that she believes that FSIL really is just jealous because the spotlight will be on me. And she's right because ever since I asked her to be a BM she has said SHE needs to loose weight. She joined Cross Fit and went down 2 sizes and of course she brags to me about it. She doesn't even realize how upset it makes me. I mean, sure I'm happy for her, but I wish I could have went down two sizes.  

    I hate that society is so concerned with the way people look!

  • I hated the way I looked when I got married.  But you know what, I LOVED my wedding pics.  I look incredibly happy and I don't even notice that I wasn't at the weight I wanted to be at.  Don't dwell on the pics while they are being taken.  Because then you might position yourself in a way that doesn't come out well in the pics.  Just be natural and yourself.

  • When I saw your dress on you, you looked amazing. If everytime you have worn it, you felt amazing in it, you will feel even more amazing the day of. you probably won't even remember that there are pictures being taken of you.
  • I am sorry she said that to you.. rude FSILs seem to be all around us :(  I'm sure the pics will be GREAT. It doesn't matter what she says!
