A few more photos from the wedding

Here are some more of my favorite photos from the wedding.

 

 





More photos

The photos from everyone else's cameras keep coming in! Here are a few more of my family. I especially love the one of my handsome stepsons walking down the aisle. They cleaned up well .

This is what 131 pounds gone looks like, at least on me. I've still got 17-20 pounds to go, but I buried the emotional pain of obesity on my daughter's wedding day. I seriously have a new perspective on how I look and how I feel. Enough of how I'm "supposed" to feel. How is someone "supposed" to feel after 131 pounds? I'm happy about it, but I want to move on, move into a greater understanding of who I am and not be dominated by feelings of insecurity and what other people think. I am more than my weight.

I am also the mother of two gorgeous girls.

And two very handsome stepsons. But I'm not biased or anything.

 

And I've got a great husband, too. I wish I could do my hair like this every day!





My daughter's wedding was the most enjoyable, incredible and magical event in my life. I never imagined I could have so much fun. And I've had a lot of fun in my 43 years. For the first time in more than 11 years, I didn't feel self-conscious at a formal event. I didn't feel like a "big girl" or even someone who has recently lost a lot of weight. I felt like me, like Lynn. I felt pretty and confidant and so very, very proud of my daughter and her new husband.  It's just the day after the event so all I have are snapshots. Here are a few of my daughter, my husband dancing with my daughter, and one of me with my friend, Laurie (I'm on the left in the brown dress). I'll post more photos later.
