On 12/13/14, I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding & here I am almost two years later ever so impatiently waiting for her to go into labor so I can meet my new niece :’)
-
I’d like to say planning her wedding was fun but I hated one thing…getting that damn dress! I stalled on ordering it & I have the threatening voice messages still saved to prove it! 😂 Mackenzie’s wedding was the first time I came face to face with my post student-athlete body! I was convinced that since we started trying on dresses in March & didn’t need them til December, I’d have PLENTY of time for the size 18 I ordered to fit perfectly or loose if anything.
-
But my second fitting I went up to a size 20…and a month before the wedding I bummed it up to a size 22 so that my bust wouldn’t pop out & so I could breathe through the night 🙄 It wasn’t a happy moment, but I tried to stay optimistic & love myself through it all…but it was rough! As I started packing for Portland I found the beloved dress & of course had the slip it on.
-
Needless to say, it wouldn’t totally stay up 🙈 I wish I would’ve felt more beautiful that day along side my bestie but I’m damn sure gonna keep loving myself so I can be the best auntie to this beautiful little one making a late entrance! This dress isn’t only a huge NSV but a reminder & reality check if the important of self love! All love, no hate 💜✊🏾
