On my wedding day, my husband's aunt told me "you know, you don't look pregnant you just look fat". I was 36 and a half weeks pregnant. She wonders why I can't stand her.

When I was getting my wedding dress altered the alterations lady said "you better lose some weight." Bitch, I'm not paying for your advice.

My mum was helping me shop for a wedding dress and said if you chose to lose some weight we could get this one. Why can't we shop for the body I have mum?

I'm a size 12-14 but I'm really short so I look fat. My mom said I need to lose a ton of weight so I won't have to get a bigger wedding dress and look like a fat bride...I'm the smallest person in every way at home...

The groomsmen for our wedding call me fat and ugly all the time. It's my fiancƃĀ©'s family so I don't say anything.
