I'm feeling a little sad about the things that went wrong :-(

Oh Alex, no real advice from me, as I'm not an OM so haven't gone through the post wedding blues yet, but just try to focus on the good bits of the day instead of the things that in your mind went wrong. I'm sure that most weddings have hiccups, but the majority of the guests won't even notice! I understand how upset you must have been about all the late drop outs, and it's something I'm dreading happening to us if I'm honest, and we haven't even sent invites out yet!

Chin up, and remenise on the amazing parts by looking through all your photos :-)

It sucks that there's things that didn't go to plan but hopefully overall you had a fab day.

I know this probably won't help, I personally think that people put too much pressure on themselves to have the 'perfect day' & its hard when things then don't quite pan out the way it was hoped.

Oh hunni, please don't feel sad. Ur photos look absolutely stunning and it must have been a gorgeous day. I think its only natural that after all the build up and planning you are bound to feel a bit flat now. I understand that you are upset by people not being there, but actually they are the ones that missed out, not you. Concentrate on all of the wonderful parts of the day, the fact that you have your gorgeous new husband and look forward to your honeymoon. Im sure you'll feel better about it when you get back xx

I'm sorry you're feeling sad! I've just seen your photos and it looks like an amazing day. I don't have much in the way of advice but I'm sure once you guys go away on honeymoon and spend some quality time making beautiful memories, these little niggles from your day will no longer worry you. Try to focus on the good parts and remember you got to marry the man of your dreams x

Congratulations you looked so beautiful on your wedding day!! You maybe are suffering from wedding blues - I got them and it was bloody awful and I couldn't stop crying.

As far as some of your friends are concerned, I feel a wedding shows you who your "real" friends are. I don't speak to my MOH anymore and some friends of mine couldn't be bothered sending a wedding card so please don't think you are alone in people treating you this way.

Hope you are going somewhere lovely on honeymoon - enjoy!! Xx

Aww, sweetie, how sad to see two of these posts today! As I said to mispinkprincess, no one has a perfect wedding day. But we have all had a wedding, and one that we should be proud of and happy to remember. Think about all the good things that happened. Also, people are not as nice as you think! No one would say it was the best wedding they'd been to if they didn't mean it, they would be more generic and say it was a great day, or a wonderful wedding, etc. I got the wedding blues after mine but now I am happy with my day, and over the moon with my gorgeous husband. Take the time on honeymoon to really enjoy being together and newly married and try and let go of the negatives x

Aww I can totally understand why you're upset. Just concentrate on the positives and don't let the down bits upset you.

All I can do is send (((hugs))). I am sure most of what you're feeling is just because of the come down after so much wedding planning. it's been part of your life so long it's completely understandable. in the case of your sister it sounds like she wasn't fully able to focus because of her other half messing things around. At the end of the day you have married the one you love, what could be better than that? And if there were moaners? Bugger them, it was YOUR day and you did it your way x

You were so busy and focused in the run up to the event - all that energy spent on your DIY stuff, the dress wobbles, etc etc. You invested a lot of emotion in this one day - of course you wanted it to be perfect, and really it was - you are just suffering from the come down.....its like a sugar rush followed by the 4pm slump, but 100 times worse because of the importance of the day.

You'll have an amazing honeymoon, recharge your batteries and boost your energy levels and you will feel so much better about it all, I am sure....and will look forward to married life. As for the moaners - well, you can try your hardest, but some people will always be like that....that's THEIR issue, not yours. Let them moan, it will only lead to them having wrinkles and saggy jowls....

So sorry you're sad ? but hopefully your honeymoon (and, indeed, your husband) will bring a bit of spring back into your step.

Go away, try and put it all out of your mind and just chill out, and then you should be in a better place for dealing with it when you get back.

I think we all become so wrapped up in the planning and trying to create the 'perfect' day that we sometimes forget that there is only so much we can do. People are humans, they make mistakes, and some people can be so selfish without even realising it.

Have you had your pictures/video back yet? I'm sure when you get them back they'll help you remember all the good parts of the day. And you've also got your honeymoon coming up to look forward to

Hope you feel better x

I'm sorry to hear that not everything went as you would have hoped. I think that's probably true for most brides! I know we had a few people drop out at the last moment, all for very good reasons, but still - it's upsetting, so you have my sympathies xxx

I think what you need to do is have your honeymoon and worry when you get home about whether to sell stuff or give it away - ask your mum to just wait until after you get home.

In time, you will find that some of these things, you will laugh about but until then, try and let them go - you can't go back and change them after all xxx

By the sounds of it you need a little R&R on honeymoon. You can never please everyone and negativity is like going out for a meal you tend to always remember the bad ones rather then the good ones. It may be the same that your mind is focusing on the very little negative aspects rather then the big picture of the good with the number of people saying it was a fantastic wedding ?
