Brideorexia: now you see her, now you don't

The brideorexic blogger who first used this blog name must have gone elsewhere, or perhaps she just wasted away. What could have happened?

The prenuptial parties, the last minute refittings to take in the size 0 dress, then the wedding itself, followed by the honeymoon: with all this frenetic activity, who could sit down to write amidst the social whirl?
She was amazed to discover that all wedding-related events involve eating and drinking, upon all of which occasions she finds her stomach so shrunken she can't consume her fair share of the buffet. She got smaller, and smaller, and smaller, until she finally disappeared.

After the honeymoon, her husband insisted they keep food in the kitchen.

I'm sorry. I couldn't help hijacking this URL after discovering it had become a dead link associated with the buzz about brideorexia, an unfortunate neologism defined by UrbanDictionary.com as "when a bride goes overboard trying to get skinny for her wedding day."
