Uhh, getting exercise and eating moderately isn't healthy. Thats some patriarchy propaganda shit yo, who are you? Fit Mom or something?

First of all, you have no idea who I am or what kind of shape I am in, we reeeeeally aren't talking about me.

fuck outta here, yo. i work out and play sports, but the whole point of this article was that expecting people to diet and lose weight for weddings is wack.

That sounds AWESOME. I once did a bachelorette party that was a cooking class, so clearly not all brides are into the dieting thing.

I would like to go back in time so I can make friends with her and go to her wedding.

You think that an hour and a half of exercise every single day is moderate? Also, you think caloric intake "well under 2000" calories a day is healthy? Wrong.

Then there is the story of my lovely, smart, wonderful, independent, professional friend who for some reason* went on a medically monitored juice fast for MONTHS before her wedding. Cut to wedding day, she was about 50lbs and 6oz lighter. That 6oz is my estimate of how much the gall bladder she lost due to the…

You really can't tell people to keep their caloric intake "well below" 2000 a day when you know nothing about their weight or activity level...especially when you follow that with a strength training recommendation.

I'm maid of honour for my best lady's wedding this summer. We did a bachelorette party for her recently...instead of going the penis-shaped-everything route, we did a throwback evening to when we used to go wilding at age 19-20. This included:
-homemade burgers for dinner, because you can't party on an empty stomach
-se…

I was married at City Hall and I don't regret it for one minute. Our wedding party was all of 10 people, including us and the photographer, I hadn't even cracked a wedding magazine, and I ignored all the wedding websites. I mean, our dinner reservation was made through Opentable. It was the greatest decision I've…

That sounds horrible. Are you serious with this? The whole point of this article was to bitch about the unrealistic expectations people put on brides for their wedding, and this is what you come up with?

I went to a friend's wedding last summer. She was cooking the reception meal in her pajamas and apron until 15 minutes before the ceremony. She put her (beautiful, vintage) dress on, discovered she didn't have the right bra, and decided to go braless, worried, for maybe a second, that her nipples were showing. She had…

We've all done stupid things. Hopefully she will soon realize this is one of the stupid things she has done.

I really like her, too; only NPH can convey my disappointment.

I know! I was like...I'll just go over there to the cake booth...

Ooh, this whole phenomenon is infuriating. When I was planning my wedding I was also training for a half marathon. One week after my half marathon, and one week before my wedding, a someone brought in cookies, and someone else shamed me for eating one. "You can't eat cookies! You're getting married next week!"

My little cousin is getting married in a month and recently tagged all of her attendants in a facebook post about her "Wedding Party Biggest Loser" contest. Apparently she's rewarding the bridesmaid who loses the most weight by the wedding day.

I find the whole concept of manic wedding makeovers so odd. You and your spouse-to-be chose each other because you loved each other, the way you are...so please try to turn yourself into something different for the occasion of officially committing to each other longterm. I wonder if anyone actually achieves all the…

The pressure to be perfect and to have everything be perfect for the perfect day is why I advise all engaged couples I know to elope.
