Post-wedding blues??

24

Comments

  • two months today since we got married and ive suffered with a bit of the wedding blues ever since...

    i need something to plan!
  • Don't be sad, you now have a husband who thinks you are beautiful and wants to spend the rest of his life with you - the wedding day is just the start of a marriage - every day in your married life is blessing which should improve with time.

    Thanks everyone. I am glad i am not the only one feeling like this. We have been married just over 4 months and cant believe i still feel like it. So like you said Afitos - I do wonder when it all goes away??!!!

    I think it's pretty common tbh. A few women I know got pregnant soon after their weddings - that could give you something else to look forward to!

    Too much weight is put on the wedding rather than the marriage which is what is important. You have started a wonderful journey that will be your life together. There will no doubt be lows as well as highs but you are in in together. My very best wishes to you.

    Exactly! I kept saying that to people when I was getting married because all people were asking about was the wedding - have you done this, have you done that blah blah blah!!!

    Hopefully OP and hubby will be pregnant soon, good luck.

    I can't say I have :/ While I would LOVE to do it all again because it was quite simply the best day ever (even though there were a few tiny bits that didn't quite go right :p ) my feelings are more of the "OMG we've been married 4 months :D " variety than "OMG it's already been 4 months :( " (speaking of which, does that mean we got married at the same time?! Mine was April 29).

    As others have said - it's ultimately the marriage that's important, not the wedding :)

    I'm really lucky in that I didn't suffer post-wedding blues. I had the most perfect day, but there really wasn't enough time to feel down once the actual day was over!

    We married on Friday, had lunch on Saturday with Hubby's old school friend, then dinner with immediate family in the evening. Sunday was spent packing and travelling off on honeymoon for two weeks. During this we unwrapped pressies, read our cards, drank champagne and basically carried on celebrating!

    Even after we came home, it felt like the celebrations were continuing - we looked through our wedding photos, wrote thank you cards and spent time visiting friends as the new 'Mr & Mrs'.

    All this has really helped settle us into our new married life, without coming down to earth with a bump. We've had time to adjust and realise the elation in the run up to the wedding is over, but an even more exciting future married life is ahead of us.
