While many women and men get the itch to lose weight during the months leading up to their wedding, a recent Huffington Post article suggests that being a few pounds over might not be the worst thing in the world.
While it’s no secret that we live in an age where body image and self-consciousness might be seen by some as being at an all-time high, Wedding columnist Sarah Jenks suggests that while helping someone who wants to lose weight is a very admirable goal and one that is perfectly healthy, what isn’t so healthy is for someone to have a drive to be thin.
Jenks makes the argument for focusing on being secure with the body you have/want over wanting to be up to a physical standard:
I know from experience that dieting does not create confidence or self-worth. I know so many brides who lose weight for their wedding, still feel insecure and gain all the weight back on the honeymoon. Skipping the “weight loss” and working directly on our insecurities is the only way to create a confident and sexy bride. And amazingly enough, it’s the most effective weight loss strategy and the ONLY way it’s permanent.
In essence, by being comfortable with yourself first, you are then free to make the call on weight loss on your own terms (mostly one of wanting to be healthy, not thin) and not because of a preconceived self-consciousness.
And remember, as always, when it comes time to prepare for your special day, chez vous caterers is there to help you plan-out every step of the way.

Congratulations to all of our friends in the LGBT community who can now participate in the act of marriage in New York City. We at chez vous catering and party rental wish you all the best and would like to do our part by giving you a few places around the city to choose from when deciding on who and how to officiate your ceremony.
First up are the fine people over at New York Marriages. One look at their website will tell you that these guys know what they are doing. They have all the facts and prerequisites on-point and will help guide you softly into the comfort and joy of your wedding day with the ease and skill needed to make sure that everything you need is on the up-and-up for your big moment.
Next is The Center (the LGBT Community Center of NYC) on West 13th street in NYC. The Center, while not specifically a place for you and your significant other to go to get your actual license, is the closest thing and is noted here because of it’s vast amount of resources available to gay and lesbian couples; from the basic information about marriage licenses and what it takes to obtain one in New York City to a very detailed breakdown of the legal rights same sex couples are entitled to under the new law.
Another great officiant here in New York City is Kim Worley; an interfaith minister whose weddings have been featured in the NY Times, The Knot, and Brides.com as well as a fairly lengthy list of client quotes greatly approving of her services. You cancheck her out over at www.officiantnyc.com
But probably your best bet to find the person for your wedding is the marriage officiant database, where you will find every type of officiant of every faith that will allow gay marriage. No matter what situation you are in, you will find the right person for the job to officiate your special day.
And remember, chez vous catering and party rental is here for YOU!
