I wanted the fairy tale wedding… You know… the ceremony in the church, the reception afterwards and the stretch limousine that whisked us away to our honeymoon… I know I could pull it off with amazing wedding planning…

That wonderful image would have been tarnished if I didn’t change two things before my wedding day: my weight and my hair.

I know it sounds silly now but before my wedding these two things were stressing me out. I want to tell you about my experience and how I found a solution to both of these problems so you won’t have to feel anxious before your wedding like I did.

I so desperately wanted to lose weight so I could look good at my wedding and fit nicely into the elegant wedding dress I had paid a lot for. I really believed that if I started dieting months before my wedding that I would fit that beautiful dress. But I fell short of my goal and still hadn’t reached my ideal weight and size without feeling uncomfortable wearing my gown.

I was worried that with so little time remaining before my wedding that I would have to get my dress altered at the last moment. But one of my friends whom I mentioned my weight problem to, told me about how she had a similar problem and recommend a wedding day diet that would help me lose weight and reduce my size in a short period of time. I followed her advice and read the weight loss book she recommended and to my surprise I lost enough weight and lower my size just in time to fit into my wedding dress perfectly.

I felt happy I could wear my wedding dress proudly and now I had one last problem to conquer… my wedding hair. I have damaged hair. I guess I had over done it with those perm chemicals. One day I took a trip to the health and beauty section of a drug store and bought a styling iron that promised it would restore luster and body back into my hair.

The styling iron actually worked. My hair never looked better and I was confident that my wedding hair will look fantastic. But a few weeks later, the styling iron I was hoping to use for my wedding day died on me. I later discovered that it was recalled because it was a fire hazard. Now I had to find a new hair styling iron and I was asking around for a good reliable brand.

Once again a friend saved my day. She told me about FHI hair styling tools and how fast and easy it was to use. Once again I took my friends advice and purchase my own FHI and tested it before my big day. It worked even better than the iron I previously own. I did a little information digging and found out that Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Aniston had their hair done with FHI irons.

When my wedding day finally arrived, it wasn’t perfect. There were a few small things that didn’t turn out the way I had envisioned… but my weight and my hair was exactly the way I wanted it to be.
