I love this so much, so candid and yet profound!! I also did not feel like I looked my best on my wedding day and it was just fine. Subscribing to read more body checks (and feeling a little inspired to start writing some of my own).

OK I've never even been close to married but why would you want to look "your best" the day of the wedding? Wouldn't it literally make te rest of the marriage downhill?

I don't know, I found a count-down diet so repellant my impulsivity just pushed right back into the Phish food. That's the reason I could never be a model. The only reason. And oweeeee Friday is TOMORROW!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding!! This might be a welcomed bit of info or you might hate me. My goal was to qualify for Boston last year and I did it (yay)! But so many other people did that they actually made the times 5 min 30 seconds faster than what’s posted as a qualifying time. So I hope you are secretly aiming to run that much faster! I wish I had known this because I was less than a minute off the secret qualifying time. Good luck!!
