Did anyone else start ‘nesting’ after getting married?

mrswinteriscoming, on January 13, 2022 at 3:09 PM Posted in Married Life 0 6
We got married last month on our 7th anniversary but have otherwise lived with one another for almost 2 years now.


We have everything we need in our apartment but now that we’re married I really find myself nesting (what many pregnant women do pre-baby, getting their home ready and putting nice touches on things etc). I’ve now got it in me that I want to update our linen, and amongst the more costlier things, get a bigger display cabinet so that we have the room to get nice dinnerware and glassware for when we have guests over.


I assume this is probably me going a bit stir crazy post wedding having nothing left to plan (which I love doing) as the financially savvy part of me would ordinarily be screaming at the prospect of the upgrades I now want!


Has anyone else felt the same or done similar post wedding?

    OMG, I totally did this right after our wedding. I think it's like you said...I was so used to having a project that I needed another one! Lol. We redid the kitchen, painted the lower level, replaced carpet, power washed the house, painted the exterior - totally nesting! Smiley laugh

    I think that makes perfect sense for the reasons you state - you need a 'project' to sort of slowly ease out of wedding planning!

    YES! We got hung up on the holidays and now i have a short trip to get through, but when I get home, I can't wait to start transforming my home. I am dying to make it nice so that when we have guests or whatnot, it'll be so welcoming and pretty. We've got kids and they're messy, but I'm going to start really cracking the whip on them at least in the 'public' areas of the house so that we have a beautiful space to walk into.

    Hi ! We actually didn't, as we got married at 35, we really had everything. But if one day we start a 2+something family ;-), it'll bring some changes for sure !
