That all of my wedding events are done! I was basically all wedding, all the time from Jan. '09 - Feb. 28, 2010.
Now what do I do?! lol.
Actually I think I am really going to enjoy just being married now. I'm looking forward to no more deposits, decisions, conversations regarding WR things. hehehe. No more stressing over offending this person, or should we invite that person, etc.
I ordered out Thank You cards yesterday, and once those puppies are sent off, I am officially & finally done with all things wedding! Yay! Now I just have to purge myself of all my wedding "stuff" that I don't need anymore. Fortunately for me I was not a DIY bride, so I don't have that much left over now. Hahaha.
I really enjoyed my planning, I had a lot of fun, I'm sure I will miss it a little in the beginning, but I'm just happy to carry on with the rest of our lives now! ![]()
Re: it's weird...
I thought that I would have a hard time adjusting after the wedding was over, but I've really been ok. I haven't really missed wedding planning at all actually! It's nice to have it all done & over with (although, I would love to re-live the actually day again & again!
)
I thought I'd just chill after all the wedding things were officially over, but to my surprise I've had BOTB instead!! WTF?! Not really how I was planning on feeling...but I blame it on the fact that I'm getting older and a lot of people we know are either preggo or having babies right now.
soooo...good luck to you!! Hopefully it doesn't go from all things wedding to all things baby, like me! EEKKS!

Pretty much this.
I missed the wedding stuff for about a month, but was glad to be done with it after that! I really did go from wedding planning to baby planning within a couple of months. Looking back, I thought I knew what stress was in planning the wedding. Little did I know the stress that I would encounter on the road to motherhood. Enjoy your time "just being married"
Oh Natalee I can only imagine how much more stressful impending motherhood must be over a wedding.
Worlds apart!
Jenni, I'm still sending you vibes that things just get normal for you!
Alison - I had BOTB before the wedding and immediately after, but now I am more like... next year is good. I realize I really need this first year to be just the two of us, and since I have the luxury of doing that, then I think I will take it
I still get a little baby fever every so often, but I'm way more at ease with our new plan. Good luck to you! Early 2011 baby, maybe? hehe.
I didn't get BOTB right away.....it's just been in the past month or two. I was pretty set all through the wedding that we were not having any babies until after I turned 30 (which will be in June 2011) b/c I wanted to have a good time on my 30th and be able to drink! Maybe go away that week! But lately....that doesn't seem as important to me anymore. Deep down though, I know I am not ready to take that step yet. I enjoy our lives the way they are.
We are doing lots of things this year-our 1st year married-we are going on a trip out west (a 6yr in the making trip that kept getting pushed back!! Now I finally get to go! yipeee!), we are planning day trips, we are finally getting our house decorated the way we want...
I need this year to "prepare" and then we'll really start thinking about babies seriously in 2011. I know the only reason why I've had so much BOTB lately is b/c we have so many people around us either preggo or having babies. I just need to get over it. LOL.

That's how I feel - I may have BOTB, but I know I'm not ready yet so we're slowing things down and waiting. I don't want to have kids and then have regrets, like I should have done this or that before we had kids. Ya know? My big thing is that I want DH & I to take a vacation together, and I'm trying to see if we can afford to go in January for our anniversary and a "honeymoon" since we never really had one. I just feel like it's so important to do this. It's not that I think we can never take a vacation after we have kids, but it won't be the same. We'll never have this time back, so I want to make the most of it. Then we'll be parents, and even if we can take a vacation just the two of us, we'll be parents... not newlyweds without a care in the world! Hahaha.
Oh, and when it seemed like everyone around me was having babies, that's when my BOTB was at it's worst.
Lisa - it is so nice to have everything done! I'm actually not missing it at all, but it's only been a few days in reality. lol. I'm really looking forward to getting some projects done that were put on the back-burner because I couldn't focus on a wedding and whatever else.
