After the wedding...

After the wedding...

Do you think you are going to feel sad that it is over? I notice a lot of brides on here say they get a little depressed because they are not planning anymore.
I don't know how I will feel. Right now, I just kind of want to get it over with and be married and get on with my life. This wedding planning stuff takes over everything!!
On the other hand, I think I might feel a little sad that a year and half of planning was done in a day!

I know that I was depressed after my e-party I guess I anticipated it so much and did planning for it..Had a great time and then when it was all over I was bummed...

I am sure I will be depressed after the wedding

Re: After the wedding...

Yeah.. I can see the depression coming now. Its a life changing step. Im sure it will get easier as time goes by. I will tell you though, my cousin just got married and I asked her if she was depressed. She told me that she was just so happy that everything was over & done with.

I will be a little upset that it's over, but i dont think i'm going to be depressed about it. I have calmed down alot the past few months, when we first got engaged all i ever did was eat, sleep and talk wedding!

Re: After the wedding...

I agree. I'll be sad.

But I will look back on my photos and video and have not only fond memories of the day, but the planning as well.

Just think its just the beginning of a new life! Don't get sad. Someone at work gave me the best advice, don't plan like it is the most important day of your life. Something will inevitably go wrong. But unless soemone gets sick or worse, just enjoy it. Life is full of enough stress. It is a celebration, get out and party!

I agree, plus, you have other good things to look foward to! Buying a house, decorating, BABIES! Plus, you won't be stressing out about table linens and unreliable vendors anymore!

Re: After the wedding...

I don't think I'll miss it. I just want to be married and start our lives together. This planning takes too much energy.

After the wedding the fun continues wiht the HoneyMoon. Perhaps after the vacation then it will all settle in.

Re: After the wedding...

In a way, yes and in a way no. FH and I do not plan on living in NY for the rest of our lives, and we both agree we want to move out of state before having kids. So after planning and researching the wedding, months after it ends, I will be planning and researching the big move!!!

That, and his cousin just got engaged. So that's another bride I can give advice to!!! (Which now makes it that much harder to plan, knowing she will be looking at everything and scrutinizing our wedding!!)

Re: After the wedding...

I don't think I will be depressed as I am so excited for this day to come! Of course I will miss the planning but after a couple of weeks, I am sure I will get over it! Plus I will still be helping my MOH plan hers

Re: After the wedding...

My sister keeps telling me this. She said her friend was all depressed after her wedding, and hated going to other weddings!

Honestly I can see being a little sad that the big day is over - but I will get over it by doing some long-awaited shopping!

Re: After the wedding...

honestly I felt alittle sad after my shower- knowing that this is coming to an end

but I spent alot of time on the wedding planning and think I will miss it in a strange way- or maybe I will miss all the attention that comes along with it

but I look forward to spending my time looking at houses
