Post Wedding blues?

[ilovethiswebsite]

Hi Ladies,

I was wondering how many of you felt kind of sad when the wedding was all over and done with? I mean... I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams and much more relaxed now that there is nothing to stress about... But I find myself thinking about the wedding constantly (looking at pictures, talking about it... reading pricescope)... It's like I can't let go of the dream! My wedding was almost a month ago. Just wondering if this is normal... Or if I am addicted to things that are wedding related! Hahaha. *sigh*

If this is normal - do you have any advice or recommendations about what to do about it? I never really thought of I was someone who was obsessed with weddings or anything... Maybe it's just hard to switch gears after you have been planning a wedding for over a year... I wish I could relive that day over and over again it was so perfect!

Completely normal, go over to the newlyweds section you''ll see another thread about it that is enough right there to tell you it''s normal, lol!

And my only advice is throw your energy into whatever else you need to get working on in your life and spending time with your husband and otherwise..it will pass.

I am going to make a home project list so I don''t get restless after the wedding and start thinking about making babies. Gotta keep my mind busy or else I can see me planning nursery colour schemes

redecorate or train for a marathon! those will keep you occupied!

i can relate though! although my wedding is not for 4 months, i know it will really fly by. i also know that one of the reasons i have been so unable to make a decision on invitations is that this is my last real design decision for the wedding. everything else about the outfits and the decor is finished (i think). i keep ordering more and more invitation samples and i am not ready yet to decide.

[SarahLovesJS]

Sorry..I am hyper.

I channel my "energy" into planning our 1st month anniversary!haha Celebrating our 3rd month anniversary tomorrow with a spa visit and dinner by the beach!

On a serious note, i have been reading self help books! Get tips on making relationship last. Works for me.

I''m the exact same. I''d love to relive the day again-it was so much fun. Although I am enjoying not having to spend every evening doing wedding related things.

I am having a hard time with it.
And I am shocked that I am, especially since pre-wedding I thought I''d be happy to not have to think about anything wedding related again.
I find myself still reading the boards, looking at all my pictures over and over and wanting that day to happen again.

I am trying to figure out what to do to keep my mind occupied on the present, but its tough! Its almost like suddenly something that has consumed me for so long is now gone. The weird thing is that I had a very simple wedding with only 70 guests- I cant imagine people who spent more time on things than I did!

I''m actually looking forward to writing thank you notes...and getting my pro-pics to print up and share.
