As soon as the date was announced I joined SW in an attempt to lose sufficient weight to be able to buy an outfit I wanted rather than one simply because it fitted! As I told people - photos will be on display for years to come and I really didn't want to think of people commenting on my size. How vain is that?!?!?! Anyway after a bumpy start I did manage to lose weight - 2 stones to be precise. I was thrilled and excited when it was time to buy that outfit.
I went on my own as I was quite nervous and uncertain about it. How many times had I been embarrassed to find that a shop had nothing that really fitted me? Anyway, the assistant was lovely and surprise, surprise there was plenty of choice. For the first time I wanted to choose something bright and striking. I really wanted to be noticed as mother of the groom and didn't want to hide away. I went for fuchsia pink with the most enormous hat! Ok it was expensive but my son was worth it, and so was I.
On the day I felt wonderful. People commented on my outfit and I knew my family were proud of me. It was truly a day full of amazing memories.
Happy anniversary Piers and Ruth!
