Re: is it normal to be sad after the wedding

At first, I was glad it was all over so I could get my life back, but then I missed it a little bit. I glanced at the magazines and watched the shows. To be honest I'm a little tired of all the wedding stuff. I found two books that helped me transition called, '101 things I wish I knew when I got married,' and, 'The thoroughly modern married girl.' I liked them because it still felt a little wedding involved. When we went into contract on the house I was able to get into decorating and house magazines and shows. I never feel like, 'I should have,' done anything. Sometimes its like,'oh that's a good idea I could have done that.' but we had a great wedding and I'm very grateful for that and glad to be moving on to all the other things life has to offer!!! Any feelings we have are normal, and you will find yourself in transition naturally when you are ready

Re: is it normal to be sad after the wedding

I definitely feel sad! I think that part of the problem is that we had a 2 year engagement. And, since we knew that we'd be engaged for so long, we put A LOT of effort into EVERYTHING. We took an average of 3 months to book each of our 'major' vendors. And, during the entire 2 years, EVERY weekend was full of wedding planning.

We took a small break while buying our condo. But, since the whole 'first home' thing was done before the wedding, we don't have much to do right now.

That's the worst! For the last 2 years, we lived and breathed WEDDING. And, we already bought our first home. It will be at least three years before we can buy anything else.

So, I've just been 'cleaning up'. Throwing out the wedding magazines, throwing out all of the wedding information, packing away the wedding books.

And, my husband's cousin recently got engaged. They planned their wedding for this November. So, his whole family is all hyped up about the November wedding. It's pretty depressing because for the first time, the wedidng conversations are not about us!

Re: is it normal to be sad after the wedding

I did alittle. I had such an amaizing day and loved everything leading up to it that when it was over i was upset. On the honeymoon I saw people getting married on the beach and started to tear up bc i wanted to do it again.. im bettr now though (even though i still walk around in my veil )
