The concept of beauty has always been an obscure one. Everyone has individual preferences, so we are attracted to all kinds of people. The rise of media has narrowed down the scope of beauty, as only a few select features are considered beautiful to the eye of the general public. Some people are scorned for having things like uni-brows when there once was an artist called Frida Carlo who was considered an icon of beauty and sexuality. The double standards of beauty become ever more apparent. One woman was ridiculed for being overweight. She received far too many nasty comments on the pictures of the big day. Now, six years later, she has transformed her appearance.
A joyous affair
There is no denying that joy is a contagious sensation. This makes a wedding one of those occasions that everyone wants to get an invite! This was how it was for the subject of our story today. A Russian couple so happy sharing a wedding day with everyone they love. Everything was perfect, the flowers, the food, the cake, the dress!
The funny thing about memories is they can be tainted quite quickly. One fowl comment can ruin an entire night well after the date passed. Our Russian bride reveled in the memory of her wedding, and her heart brimmed with love and happiness every time the thought popped into her mind. A few months went by, and the bride finally received the final album of wedding photos from her photographer.
She went through each one and satisfied with the results, she posted them to her social media. Excited, she went to work, telling herself she could only look at the comments later. Little did she know what she would find.
Heartbroken
The bride came home, and after giving a loving kiss to her husband, she eagerly picked up her phone to see what her friends thought of her wedding pictures. Her heart sank. Somehow, the post had gone viral. Instead of millions of comments with compliments of her big day, she was being called the ugliest bride in the world.
Feeling heartbroken, the bride cried to her husband and showed him the comments. He took her in his arms and reminded her that he thinks she is beautiful. He told her it does not matter what strangers are saying, and he wiped her tears away. The bride went and splashed her face with water, and sat down with her loving husband to watch a movie.
Then, the next day she decided that she was going to ignore all the nasty comments on her Facebook post. Although, she could not help but open up her wedding album and scroll through each picture. Now, after reading the nasty comments, she could not help but scrutinize the pictures she used to adore.
Six years later
Six years have passed since our Russian bride’s pictures went viral. The world almost forgot about the poor woman who was called such hurtful things. But then, “the so-called ügliest bride in the world“, made another appearance on social media. A journalist had gone on a search to find the couple. He wanted to share their story of how they had been treated by the world. But, it wasn’t as easy as he thought. The couple had moved away to start a new life together.
After a long and tiresome search, he found them living in a small town a few hours from their hometown. He knew he had to give them a call before he just arrived unannounced. So, he called the bride to explain the reason behind his visit. The bride sounded eager, and immediately gave a date that would suit them best.
Time for a change!
The journalist arrived perfectly on time, he had been excited to meet the infamous bride. He rang the doorbell, but the woman who answered was far too beautiful to be the so-called ugly bride. He told the woman whom he was there to see, and she said that was her. The journalist’s jaw dropped. He could not believe his eyes. The bride had made a complete transformation.
The woman who stood before him could not be called ugly in any way. She had lost a considerable amount of weight, and her facial features stood out, strong and gorgeous. The journalist realized he was sitting on a gold mine of a story. Everyone loves a good transformation story.
How did she do it?
So, after agreeing in an interview, the now beautiful bride explained the process of her transformation. It turns out, that it was not an entirely organic one. Yes, she had adopted a healthier life, which included lean meals with minimal carbohydrates. Additionally, she incorporated an intense workout regime into her daily schedule.
But, that’s not all. The once ugly bride had undergone some extensive surgeries and cosmetic procedures in order to obtain her gorgeous body and face. From liposuction to botox, she had it all. The bride wanted to change her entire appearance, and she clearly paid attention to the comments from the post six years ago. Because, each one of the features that were ridiculed had been edited, and improved immaculately. The journalist could not help but wonder how much the entire transformation must have cost.
Their love still lives!
Many people would be very curious to know what the dynamic is like between the couple after the bride’s transformation. The journalist knew he had to include this in his article about the woman who was once thought of as the ugliest bride in the world. So, he asked how their marriage was going.
The bride’s face lit up with pure happiness, which warmed the journalist’s heart. She began to tell him how he had supported her the whole way through her journey. He drove her to and from the procedures, and she helped her with the after-care. This helped to strengthen the marriage, but her husband swears he still sees the same woman he fell in love with all those years back.
