A woman who hated how she looked was able to shed a whopping 11 stone before her wedding day after the pandemic set back the date of her nuptials by two years. Melissa Williams, from Bridgend in South Wales, weighed 25st 4lbs when the church was first booked in 2020, but she'd completely transformed her appearance by the time she finally got to walk down the aisle.
The 27-year-old's big day was delayed for two years because of the chaos caused by Covid, meaning she had to go out to buy an entirely new dress in order to marry her partner Chris, 29, in April this year. In the interim, the stay-at-home mum had shrunk down from a size 30 to a size 16.
So, while the scheduling problems would have proved a nightmare for most, it finally gave Melissa the opportunity to turn her life around, reports WalesOnline. "I've been big for as long as I could remember," she said.
