A question for you all

Hi newlyweds! Congratulations to you all. I hope to join you very soon

My question is: I've been having SO much trouble concentrating at my job lately. I get very close to nothing done. Did this happen to you, and did it get worse the closer you got to the wedding?

When the wedding was over, were you able to concentrate more at your jobs and get stuff done? I feel like all I do is wedding stuff lately, even at work.

I wasnt too bad at work before the wedding but Im a teacher so I didnt have computer access like many other ladies on here do

After the wedding, I was able to focus much more on work and getting everything done that I needed to

It gets better...Weddings consume us like men don't even know!!!! Post-Wedding, you'll be back to your old self.

The week before my last day at work was a mess; completely useless. Once I got back from my HM, I took off an extra day to get myself together and once I returned to work, I was back to focusing more on work.

I can see where it would be hard to concentrate at work, but I didn't really have that problem. But then again, I am a teacher and I had three weeks off for summer vacation before my wedding, so that really helped a lot.

Re: A question for you all

I had difficult concentrating definitely - I think I had only half my brain at work, if that, the other half or more was totally wedding. I'd do work for like 10 minutes and then go on liw or theknot for 30!

Its totally normal, slowly the brain capacity comes back after the wedding:)

Re: A question for you all

It was definately hard to concentrate prior to the wedding. That is one of the determining factors to why I took the week before the wedding off....I knew that I would be useless at work & would be more productive at home with my hands on wedding stuff.

After I got back from the HM, I went back to work & it is hard the first day back to get focussed again. By the 2nd day at work, I was back to being focussed & now it is no problem at all

Re: A question for you all

I'd say about a month before the wedding I was useless. My mind was just on the wedding in general and all the last minute details. After the wedding I was able to focus more on work.

Don't worry - you're normal!

Re: A question for you all

I had problems concentrating before we left for NY (live in VA) but luckily was in NY for the week before and not working, after I was only doing school stuff so luckily didn't have to work but it took a few days to get back to 'reality' after the amazing wedding and HM!!!
