Apparently getting engaged is an open invitation for people to comment on your appearance. I think we can all agree that asking someone if they think that they 'need to go on a diet' is rude. It implies that you think that they need to lose some weight. However for some reason people think it is an appropriate question to ask when you're planning a wedding (it's not). I hadn't realised how getting married can put so much pressure on you to look your best. Obviously I knew I wanted to look and feel good on the day and have some nice pictures, but other than that it wasn't something I was obsessing over- until everyone else was. And the thing that kick started it all was my first bridal appointment...
