Wedding Withdraw?
Is anyone else kind of going through it or is it just me? I miss all the wedding talk and planning with my friends and family and with you girls on here and all the PIPs... it was exciting! I don't miss the drama or the stress but I liked seeing other people's plans. I'm really excited for the upcoming weddings we have and the weddings I'll be in. I just don't wanna be a bridesmaid-zilla lol.

Married / The Cookaholic Wife
I don't miss anything about planning it, and I cringe when I hear wedding talk to be honest! Just totally burnt out. But I am waaaay more excited and happy to be married than I was leading up to it. I guess it's just my personality. The stress of it all affected me really negatively, and even my relationship felt the strain. We were always tired and cranky and too sensitive. We were both definitely excited, but the amount of relief I felt when it was all over can't be described!
I am thrilled to be blissfully married & having a blast?and not have ANY friends or family who are engaged.
I'd relive my wedding day and the day before it over and over again. It was so much flipping FUN and everyone had a blast.
Hell, I'd relive the week before it too, when it was just me and MFD and the dogs on the beach every day in the sun with books and wine and naps and outdoor showers and just awesome lovely times.
I don't miss the planning at all or the stress and how it affected our relationship. And I do NOT miss pinching every penny we have.
This describes me too, Nichole! I don't have any other upcoming weddings among my family nor friends, this wedding was it! At least I still have my HM coming up on 10/28! Maybe taking a later HM wasn't such a bad idea after all!
I miss it all. Not so much the elbow grease it took to plan a destination wedding, but I miss having something so life changing on the horizon. The days right before and after went by so quickly - it was quite the whirlwind experience! DH and I are so glad we're finally married after all this time, but I miss having something to do. So, I've tried to start focusing on Christmas, which is helping some. We're so glad we're not living penny to penny anymore too, which means we can splurge on dinner out if we want to without feeling guilty!
Last week was my first week back to work and I still totally had bride brain and was worthless. This is week is a little better and I can focus on the projects that I have going on.
For about a week after the wedding I was still having stressful sleep and worrying about details in my dreams. I have no idea why because everythign went fine on the day of but my brain still hadn't completely come down off of the wedding high and stress.
I don't miss the planning and I have enough to worry about with getting everything moved from my parents house. I have moved the majority of stuff but I need to finish completely emptying out the rooms and give them a good cleaning.
I love my puppy ... and my husband, I swear!
I totally miss the day itself--- there are so many things I would go back and change-- well not so many--- but I would go back in time and get more pics with Liv and Otto--just us three.....

I too miss the idea of being able to see everyone (who usually hate each other 364 days of the year) come together in one space, dance, laugh and smile and be with us celebrating our love. That truely was the best part--- I wish that feeling could go on FOREVER--- I think that is how world peace feels

Datsyuks & Ferdy- We Go Together Like...
I really don't miss the planning part. I'm so happy to not have a frickin' binder attached to my hands 24/7, and to not be so crabby and sensitive anymore. I've taken all of my wedding planning energy and channeled it into holiday planning and future vacation planning instead. :-)
Like others have said - I would loooove to go back and relive my wedding day (and weekend) over and over and over, but thank God every day that I never have to plan another one!
This. Exactly. We had a BLAST, and it was wonderful, but I'm SO glad it's over. We're loving looking through our pro pics all the time though!
