Sweet Gibraltar Weddings

Over the generations, many of us have become used to the idea that there’s barely such thing as a wedding without alcohol. Of course, that’s not quite true – Muslim and Hindu weddings, for instance, do not traditionally involve alcohol.

In short, it’s the notion that we can, and should, all feel proud of our bodies, whatever our shape or size may be. It’s a movement that has captured a lot of attention and admiration lately, but it’s also one that seems to sit uneasily alongside the tradition of ‘shredding for the wedding’. That’s before we even get onto the subject of some of the careless comments friends or relatives may make about your body in the run-up to your special day.  If, then, you feel insecure about your shape and size at times, the weeks and months leading up to your wedding can be… tricky. So, let’s take a look at some of the great ways you can embrace the important lessons body positivity offers when you’re preparing to get married.  Know your own unique beauty  The real...
