Beautiful bride: Beth Wheeler lost 10 stone ahead of her wedding so that she could fit into her dream dressAlmost all brides try to slim down a little ahead of their big day. However Beth Wheeler was more dedicated to her diet plan than most.
The 36-year-old weighed 22 stone when she got engaged.
But she ordered a size 12 wedding dress and put herself on a strict diet so she could shed 10 stone and fit into her dream gown a little more than a year later.
She embarked on a healthy eating and living campaign and shed more than half her body weight to reach her target of 12 stone just four days before her wedding at Halswell House near Bridgwater, Somerset.
In his wedding speech, James joked: 'When you get married you often get more than you expected, well I'm getting less''Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight will know that you can do it on your own for a few weeks but then easily become fed up so having something to aim for kept me focused.'
Beth weighed 22st 1lb when she joined her Weight Watchers group in April 2009.
The weight began to fall off steadily and she ordered her stunning wedding gown in October 2010, telling the seamstress that she aimed to be a size 12 on her wedding day.
Beth even managed to resist the temptations of festive food over the Christmas period and went on to shed the pounds through to her wedding day.
She was delighted when she stepped on the scales on February 20 this year - and found she had finally reached her goal of 12st.
