Hi everyone, as the title alludes, I’m struggling to move on from the wedding day and think I’m experiencing some post-wedding blues. The day itself was wonderful. I got to marry my person in front of friends, family and loved ones, and I had a fantastic time. However, the lead-up to the wedding was probably some of the most stressful months of our lives. I struggled mentally with the pressure of looking perfect on the day; we both were very ill weeks before the wedding and weren’t sure if we were going to be well enough for it, and the day prior, a family member was hospitalised and didn’t attend. (All okay now). I feel like the stress of the wedding overshadowed the day, not just for me but for our family, too, and I’m struggling to separate the stress from the day itself. I can’t help but focus on the negatives rather than the positives. Years of planning went into this one day, for it all to be over, and I (selfishly) can’t get my head around that weeks later, everyone is just getting on with their lives. I just want to know if this is normal and if anyone else has ever felt this way about their wedding.
