Wedding Planning

Anyone else miss wedding planning as much as I do? I don't miss the stress, but miss looking around for stuff and what not...

Am I the only one?

Re: Wedding Planning

Your answers will depend on how far long ago their weddings were. I made a similar post shortly after my wedding. Now, months later, i don't miss the planning at all. You just find a new project and other things begin to happen that you focus on more and the wedding becomes a happy memory.

Re: Wedding Planning

I don't really miss it much. I have tons of other things to take up that time now, such as writing out thank-you cards and fixing up our house... and I am certainly glad to be done w/ all the BM drama I had dealt with during the planning

Re: Wedding Planning

This might sound weird, but I think I kinda missing having a goal...or more a time deadline. All of the wedding planning had to be done by a certain date, and it kept me motivated...Now, I have a ton of things I can do, but, no set deadline...so I tend to procrastinate a bit more...but, the freedom is nice too

Re: Wedding Planning

For the most part I'm glad that it's over.. but my neighbor is starting a lot of her planning now so when I want a wedding fix I can live vicariously though her

also, I can read wedding posts on here if I want, but I'm glad a lot of it is over

Re: Wedding Planning

I still look at the wedding magazines. Their fun to look at! However I NEVER EVER want to be a bride again! That was hell on earth.

Re: Wedding Planning

I'm sure I'll get over it once I get my proofs and I have to start working on the album!

Don't get me wrong, I'm still super busy with the house and school, but I actually enjoyed a lot of the planning

Re: Wedding Planning

I missed it at first, but now that it's been over a year I don't really miss it anymore. It was a lot of work and I'm glad that I can focus on other things now.

Re: Wedding Planning

I miss the planning but definitely not the money spent and stress.

Re: Wedding Planning

not one bit! especially now with the stress of finding a home. i have no idea how the ladies who planned a wedding while buying a home did it.

Re: Wedding Planning

I do miss the creativity and constantly having something to do but I definitely don't miss the stress! I think I'm going to take a class at michaels to re-route this energy. You know what they say about idle hands

Re: Wedding Planning

I'm not sure if I miss the planning or the looking forward to my wedding part of it. I was really stressed during the planning part !! I think I miss the anticipation of having a once-in-a-lifetime event to look forward to....

Re: Wedding Planning

Ummmm Lets see, For me its subsided

Sometimes when i am alone, and something reminds me of my wedding or someone elses wedding is coming up i get this sudden rush of emotion, an empty feeling like my day is over forever.
Never to happen again and its a terrible feeling of sadness.

Thank god it only lasts a few seconds...havnt shed any real tears but my eyes well up for a second.

I dont miss the stress one bit, i dont miss all the appts i just missing having that day to look forward to.

I have plenty of other things to keep me busy or I have all the time in the world to just relax and not be busy.

Re: Wedding Planning

i loved my wedding.. and the planning of it to a certain extent.. it was us and my parents and we had a traditional Indian wedding so a lot went into it.. working with American vendors and my Indian ones.. it was not fun but it was all worth it.. and the way I see it, it was a beautiful start to us 'officialy' and the pictures is a reminder of how much thought and effort went into it to finally culminate into us.. no looking back.. it was beautiful..

now i plan imaginary vacations

Re: Wedding Planning

Little sis got engaged 3 weeks ago, so I'm back in planning mode. I like it. I'd consider it as a career. Really though, I just like making invitations. I could scale down to being an invitation designer/dealer.

Re: Wedding Planning

I missed it for about a day after the wedding, then I felt like it was this huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

I do miss having mine and DH's whole family in town and all being together, that aspect of it. But do I miss picking out centerpieces and bridesmaid dresses and such? No way.
