Post wedding depression

Anyone think they will have this? I certainly will.

I have loved every single second of planning my wedding to this amazing man and although i al SO happy to start my life, I will be sad that this part is over.

This wkd is my one yr engaged mark and im sad bc i wanna do it all over again. I can only imagine how the wedding will feel

Re: Post wedding depression

I definately had it!!! I didn't think I would, I missed the planning, the excitement, the anticipation and being a BRIDE! I definately don't miss the stress! As time goes by, I miss it less and less, but I definately had wedding withdrawal. DH just didn't understand that!

Re: Post wedding depression

I thought I would feel like that too, but no i am happy it is over. I enjoyed every minute of my planning but towards the end i was looking forward to getting back to normal life.

Now I am busy with starting a new life, new family, new traditions, and that keeps me occupied

eta.. but I have to admit i get sad when i walk by a newstand and know i will never need to buy a bridal magazine again

I will DEFINLY miss planning, but it takes up sooo much of our time. I'll be glad to be able to take our weekends to relax together and enjoy each other once again.

Re: Post wedding depression

FH and I have talked about this a couple of times. We decided that after the wedding we're going to concentrate on getting a house, so as to keep us just as busy and just as broke!!!

Even now, I peruse the boards and I see all the excitement about invites or dresses and I'm like 'been there done that'

Re: Post wedding depression

As much as I'm looking forward to the wedding I know I'm going to be sad that all of the hard work and planning will be over. I've really been enjoying this and I know it'll leave a void in my life for awhile. But that's just until I fill it up with something else. After the wedding we're going to start looking at houses and then after that we can make babies!! More things to look forward to!!

Re: Post wedding depression

Other things now occupy my time. I am online and I post here but I am eternally grateful that I no longer have the stressors that I had 2 months ago. New ones have replaced ALL of them. Like I have said before, when you are getting married, thats all you can concentrate on and thats all that matters in your world, but when its over, the normal everyday things which are actually more important than ya think are there for you to devote thought to. Ugh the banality!

Re: Post wedding depression

Oh god.. I cant wait until this planning is over & done with.. I have had just about enough of the planning, the stress & anticipation. I have been engaged since March 2004, so I have been through the highs & lows of this whole wedding planning process for quite a while now. Im tired of it- tired of the drama.. tired of trying to make everything perfect-make sure every single detail is covered. I knew that wedding planning is stressful, but, seriously, Im just tired of it.. Im done with this chapter of my life.. Im ready to move on & just be married already. Maybe it is because it seems like everywhere I go someone I know is engaged & planning a wedding, & no matter what I just cant get a break from it!

Sorry, but, like I said.. IM DONE Lets get this show on the road already!!!

I second this- can't wait to have a second to think about something else. It drives me crazy sometimes- I really don't like spending this muc time on one thing. It's like a full time job and I'm slacking at my actual job because of it. glad for it to be over...

Re: Post wedding depression

I truly had that the first time around, to be honest that was part of the reason things didn't work out....I was so concerned w/ the wedding planning & neither of us discussed our expectations for the marriage, etc. It was all kind of a letdown afterwards & at the time neither of us had ever lived away from home. It was a huge adjustment & a reality check.

This time around however, I'll be sad that the wedding is over, but hopefully have wonderful memories of the day & will then look forward to the baby planning!!!!

I know we discussed this, but I am definitely with you! I have LOVED being a Bride, and haven't found it to be stressful at all - it;s all FUN to me! FH def doesn't understand, but I am really starting to look forward to my life going back to normal. Although I don't find it stressful, and it is because I enjoy it so much, that I a lot of my time and focus is spent on the wedding.

Re: Post wedding depression

I can't wait for this to be over. It's really a full-time job for me and it interferes with so much of my day. Is it me, or do your vendors always call you?
I feel like I get calls ALL the time and it's SO annoying. I wish they would just leave me alone already. I feel like I can't even run my business properly b/c it consumes so much of my time. I think even poor Hannah suffers sometimes b/c I'm on the phone or online and not talking to her.

I just want my life back... and I want people to STOP asking me 'how are the wedding plans going?' You really wanna know?? AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Same here. I think we will transition quite nicely into looking for a house and thinking about having kids.

I couldn't agree with you more!! I don't think I will miss it, My job teaching and grad school is suffering cause I can't do a paper because I have to get my programs done. I really turned out to NOT enjoy the planning and with 20 days to go I am ready for this whole thing to be over so I can go on without the wedding 'stress'.
