Did anyone else feel like "IS THAT IT??"
Lets be honest....Did anyone else get depressed or anything after the wedding?
START RANT...I am still kinda feeling like "IS THAT IT??" we worked all those extra hours, all the stress (and good times too), all the tears, fights, sleepless nights...and thats it...DONE...
I dont know maybe i will feel different when i get the photos and video back, but i kinda feel ripped off (not by vendors or anything, just with the expereince, maybe my expectaions where, i dont know what they were.....we spent $42,000 ($12,000 OVER BUDGET!! which is still outstanding, not inlcuding honeymoon) and it is just a blur.....we could have eloped and travelled the world for a year....FINISH RANT
I know had a good time,i know it was all amazing.. but...i dont know....I am exhausted, have spent one evening with H since wedding and prob very premenstrual...
I feel sad.....
Re: Did anyone else feel like "IS THAT IT??"
I personally didn't have this but have heard a lot of people talk about post-wedding blues. I came back from a 2 day trip to Asheville, NC after the wedding and went back to school the next day so I haven't had any down time to really even ponder it.
I definitely agree that it was a blur though! Getting my pictures back definitely helped me relive the day, and we just got our video back, which was awesome to sit down and watch with H. It also helps to talk to other people about how the wedding went...getting compliments from all of my friends and family made me feel like it was definitely worth it (I know it sounds shallow, lol).
Don't feel sad, you had a gorgeous wedding, you looked beautiful, you have the love of your life as your husband, and you are going on a honeymoon in a few days, missy! We're always here to vent to, though.
I didn't feel depressed over it, but the next morning at breakfast I had a "WTF, it's over already!?" moment. But then we packed up the car from the hotel, went home, opened presents, did last minute errands, packed up, left at 5 am the next morning for the airport and spent a week in Disney.
I think the HM right after the wedding as opposed however much longer later really starves off that depressing feeling.
Actually, we left the reception an hour before it was supposed to end because I wasn't feeling well (lots of food, tight dress, spinning during the Hora = I might pass out/upchuck any moment). I felt really sad to have to leave early and from what my mother told me, people kinda just left after that and the party fell apart, which really makes me sad. But I'm over it now.
Don't feel sad, be glad! You will certainly feel better once you get your pictures.

I wasn't depressed either- but then again, we had a few days of events and lots of people around- so I think that spread it out. We were actually EXHAUSTED by the time we got to our villa for our HM. We literally didn't leave the property the entire week- just slept, laid by the pool, ate and napped...all day, every day. We had an amazing time- and yes, I wish we could party like that again, but I think we're both just so happy to be married to each other (DH and I randomly text each other about this). And we are actually still randomly getting wedding presents- 2 months later!
For you ladies that have the blues, talking with family and friends- even on here- is definitely better than bottling up. And Jrsy- Squishy may be right- addressing the bigger issue ;0)
