These Curvy Brides Tell You Why You Shouldn’t Care About Stereotypes

Fat shaming loiters in weddings in a big big way! And especially, actually mostly, the brides are subjected to it.
Why?
Let some curvy brides answer that for you.
“I think jab shaadi ki baat aati hai na, a woman’s body is never honed. It’s always judged, sexualized, objectified. Aise honi chahiye vaise dikhni chahiye. But a bride’s body! That is a whole different level altogether.”
“There’s a lot of social pressure as well. All the aunties and uncles are like ‘you know you are going to get married now. You should lose weight.’ The girl has to be perfect. The Boy? He can be any size and complexion.”
“I wish I could just get into a store and be like you know I am this size. Do you have something in my size? Wear it and walk out. But I can’t.”
“An average Indian girl is not a skinny girl. And when you go to designers, the outfits are just for skinny girls.”
If you grinned a little while reading these, and nodded in agreement, you will find this video by Indian wedding portal wedmegood.com very amusing.
It beautifully captures 5 curvy brides talking about their everyday struggles, and most importantly, talking about how they don’t give a tiny rat’s buttcrack! Food is their first love, and no amount of love from their spouses can make them divorce food.
And of course, these girls give out the quintessential message that every bride is special. Irrespective of her size, irrespective of everything.
