I feel very depressed about my hirsutism due to pcos during my wedding

I cannot afford makeup or a pretty dress.

I am probably slightly overweight. But I have so much hair on my face it looks so bad.

I have dark patches where the hair is.

I will be having a register wedding. Every day that is coming closer makes me want to cry. I just don't want to go.

I am so scared.

Everyone stares at the skin. I get made fun of when I go out.

This wedding day is making me so depressed. Because its when a woman should be pretty ... here I am with a beard.

:(

I can relate- I have very dark hair on my chin (and belly, legs, underarms, tops of feet...you get the picture).  I know what it's like to shave and
feel like **** because the hair is so dark its visible under your skin. The constant stress over worrying about people noticing can get very depressing. But PLEASE don't let a physical "imperfection" ruin your wedding day! If weddings were about  dresses and cakes and perfect makeup I'd go sit and be depressed with you! But I'm sure the reasons you and your beloved are getting married go far beyond skin deep.
Allow yourself  to enjoy your wedding day -and every day!- without the burden of worrying about what others may think. No one on this earth who matters will stare, judge or make fun.  
You can absolutely be the gorgeous bride you want to be and all it takes is confidence. Confidence is beautiful on everyone!

I have pcos as well and it’s not fun. It’s to the point my doc heard the cysts rupturing when i went in for my annual appt. what we deal with is not wonderful. I have lots of peach fuzz where my sideburns are. I use that flawless shaver there and it helps even though i feel the 5 o’clock shadow days later. My suggestion though is maybe to alleviate the stress of the wedding, maybe just go elope. Then have a reception later with close family and friends. Or see if a friend can help doll you up. Another thing is maybe to educate yourself and future hubby as well as those close friends and family if not already. Lastly, your fiancé loves you and probably knows how this is affecting you. I’m sure he/she doesn’t care as long as they have you and i’m Sure no matter what he’ll/she’ll think you are the most beautiful bride. Good luck and i hope you feel better.
