Wedding Blues

Lynseys Designs, 18 May, 2010 at 22:15 Posted on Planning 0 10

Is it possible to have wedding blues a year on? I'm sooo gutted my day has gone, I'm jealous of everyone getting hitched this week and my colleague at work is getting married and I just want it to be my weekend all over again.

Part of this is because a few aspects of the day didn't go to plan, not massive things at all, but I thought I'd have let go of them by now but obviously not.

I'm being silly I know I am and I never ever expected to feel like this. Another reason is because we had the honeymoon of our dreams and no holiday we are looking at now is comparing but then we knew that would happen because we don't have the same money to spend every year for a holiday but it stills make me feel sad.

So any old marrieds out there got any hints on how I can make myself feel better?

xx

    I remember those feelings as well! It's mad isn't it. We wish our lives away for our big day to hurry up and then I'm hating the fact it's past. I wish there was a pause button with life.

    No advice, feel the same ☹️

    Have our honeymoon to look forward to on Friday, we delayed it on purpose and then is was delayed again last month because of the ash cloud, but I dare say we will feel the same as you when we come back and nothing will compare - will have to think of absokute polar opposite holidays e.g. ski-ing and NYC to get it out of my system!!

    How are you aside from that? :-)

    Dont know what to say to make you feel better, but as for holidays - nothing should compare! remember that!

    imagine going somewhere wonderful only 12 months after your honeymoon and going - "i wish we'd come here instead?" nahhhhhhh

    is saw your pics on fb - it looked truly truly wonderful xxx

    Poor Lyndsay, you should be celebrating your first anniversary and not feeling this way ☹️

    I do worry I will be exactly the same, and like someone else said I already get jealous at people's weddings before mine and likely will at everyone after! Not that I am not thrilled for everyone and that..

    I know no other holidays should compare but it's still hard. I tried to talk to H about the few things I'm gutted about that went wrong and could hardly speak without crying so I just stopped because he won't understand and I didn't want to cry.

    Beccy I'm ok thanks. Enjoy your delayed honeymoon, please do a report and flash pics.

    I got married just over two weeks ago and seriously got the blues....still got a week left off work but dreading going back cos then it will all officially be over.

    I never thought in a million years i would feel this way...although some people did warn me they felt like it after their weddings and i never really understood how you could be sad after the happiest day of your life.

    I feel like you Lynsey...a few v minor things not to plan that noone else really bothered about or aware of but i cant let it go

    Oops abit of a ramble there!!! x

    Oh no hun, so sorry you feel down :-(

    I felt so down on way home from my hen do - like that's it, the only hen do i'm ever going to have is over. I was really sad and it never occurred to me i'd feel like that about the hen do so god knows how low i'll be after the wedding!!!

    We are trying to plan little fun things to do together over the few months after the wedding like weekends away and just cheap days out. We also want to go skiing this winter so looking at deals for that.

    Hope you feel better soon. Xx

    Hi Lynsey, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so down. It's o.k to cry you know! When I was married first time around and felt down cos my day had gone, I used to get my wedding album out and all the little bits I kept and have a bloomin good howl. I knew I was being daft but it really did help. xx

    Hi Lynsey, so sorry to hear how you're feeling. I am in the same situation, something happened on my day, and although not major, spoilt the day for me completely,i try as hard as i can to focus on the positives, but still can't get rid of the feeling of upset and disappointment. At the mo I can't look at some of my wedding photos because i get so angry and upset about it.

    its been 2 yrs since my wedding, and not sure these feelings will ever go away Smiley sad

    Anyway my hubby is very understanding, and we have decided we will renew our vows at some point, no definate date, i would like to think on our 5th anniversary, or just when we can afford it, or perhaps on my hubbys 40th or maybe it will never happen, but it does mean i look at the wedding planning stuff with interest now and store away all the ideas i like. It won't be a big day like our wedding, but will be with very close family and friends. They'll def be a new dress though, and a cake Smiley smile
