Mother who hurt?

I am a woman of 29 years and I'm getting married in two weeks exactly. A very large traditional wedding. I am delighted! My problem: I am a plus size woman … and my mother hates it! My mother is Korean and my father is African-American moms East image says it all! At least for those I know. I was told repeatedly that I am beautiful, I had strangers in stores to stop to congratulate me, my loving fiance tells me almost every day. She lives out of state and did not see me in 3 years. I was more size then have been for 10 years at least. No phone conversation ends w / out it asks me if I lost weight. I tried not to let it bother me or cry, but I am worried about what she will say. My self-esteem is horrible, and unlike most brides blushing in their wedding dress, I fear what she will say about me in mine and it will ruin my day. Any suggestions on what I should say she must keep my weight, so it is here?

Dear Bride to be, I am a black man, married to a Korean Lady for over twenty-seven years. His sister is married to a white man and they live in Texas, what you want to talk, cry, laugh about the issues? I suggest you never, never, never give a moment thought that everything else has to say about how you look. God made you and everybody and made us all different. Hold your head up, shoulders straight, look everyone directly in the eye and tell them that you have a big piece of mistletoe on back of your pants! Imagine it's Christmas! embraces everyone (under the mistletoe at Christmas) As long as your husband to be trying to break his neck to return you, for you to play and forget the others. In fact, if they were worth considering, they never say anything to hurt you. Too, if they had any type of moral character, they would support you! It is time for you to look straight in the eye and say, If you do not have something nice or positive to say, SHUT UP.
