Hi Everyone we are approaching 1 year anniversary and I would like to know to my fairly newlyweds couple what has been the hardest for you during year 1? For me its been a roller-coaster of emotions and figuring things out but I will say it is getting better in some aspects. Patience and understanding is really what I am trying to get better at and self evaluate myself. One thing I learned is everyone marriage dynamic is DIFFERENT so do not compare and do what's best for you and your partner. I do have one issue which is our wedding video. First of all I regret the vendor we chose I feel like my wedding photos aren't anything special and I really don't have any pictures I love. I know its confirmed because my mom looked at the photos and said she doesn't really like any of them and I agree with her. I don't feel beautiful when I look at them and I am normally someone who is confident with my appearance but that day wasn't it for me. I am still torn between if its my expectations of being a bride that has be all messed up or just that I didn't look my best. They say your wedding day you suppose to feel the most beautiful but I did not and for that reason I RARELY post any pictures or show any to friends. I was very depressed post- weddings due to family drama that altered my whole experience.. well down to almost 1 year later I am having mix feelings about watching my wedding video because I feel it will trigger me and/or will remind me of the empty void I felt that day due to family drama on top of not feeling beautiful. Anyone ever felt like this before?? Any advice? I also really appreciate this forum for the support and advice / non judgment from community.
