How did you feel the day after your wedding?

More of a fun post than anything, but mine is this Saturday and it feels weird to think I'll be married and all this anticipation will end in just a few days. Did any of you have wedding blues or was everyone just happy they didn't have to think about it anymore? I actually wasn't one of those girls...

I actually wasn't one of those girls that was like "yay wedding", I've mostly been so busy trying to plan everything that I don't have time to enjoy it so I mostly don't want to think about it anymore, but now that I'm getting excited I kind of regret not being more excited before and I wonder if I'll be sad when it's over.

    Oh gosh I had so many feelings. It mostly just felt weird like we couldn't believe it was over and that we were married! it was a while until it finally sunk in. I was also a little sad because it really does fly by. Finally I was tired and exhausted. We spent the day sleeping in and having breakfast at the hotel with the remaining loved ones there, we then went home opened all of our gifts and then took the rest of our centerpieces and passed them out at the local nursing home. That also made me sad too but in the end happy to brighten someone else's day. I have a feeling you will feel a lot of emotions but seriously enjoy every minute and soak it all in!

    I was sick and started my period but we were both still on a high from how amazing the wedding was and the tremendous love everyone showed us. We had a morning after brunch and it was a nice closure to such a lovely weekend, plus it was Christmas Eve so it felt more special. But we were both tired too and ready to just go home and chill.

    We were also ready to have money again and live like normal people again, lol!

    This month is 6 months since the big day - time flies!

    Leading up to our wedding date, I was so over planning and ready for it all to be over and done with.

    Everything about our wedding day was perfect. Even the down pour of rain we got. The day after, we went on our honeymoon which was AMAZING!

    Now that it's been 7 months, I'm having wedding blues. I want to do it all over again.

    Exhausted. Spent half the day in bed doing nothing. Then got around and hubby took son with special needs to the arcade to play games and my mother and I went thrift store shopoing for the afternoon. It was nice to do something un wedding related for once.

    We traveled all day the next day so we were exhausted but still in awe of how perfect everything was and how quickly it went by! It was bittersweet but definitely more sweet than bitter! ❤

    I had no voice the day after the wedding! My voice was off and on all day anyways, but it completely went away the next day. DH and I went to church the next morning, and then traveled to honeymoon and I was just tired. We got the HM and ate but laid in bed for the rest of the night! It was slow but surreal. Still keep looking at my ring not believing we are married.

    I am on the same page. I am so sad it is over! Funny thing is I couldn't wait for it to be over during the planning stages. It went so fast and we were having such a good time and everything was absolutely perfect.

    The day after our wedding I was in shock to say the less. I honestly didn’t think I knew my husband . He seemed so different and I did to. I cried on our to the airport to catch our flight for our Honeymoon to Mexico. My husband ask me why was I crying? I told him because I don’t know you!!😂😭.. he just hugged me and said I don’t know you either but if this wife is any thing like my fiancée, then I’m in love with her. . It was truly an amazing feeling for about a week.

    We were so exhausted and SO HAPPY that the wedding was finally over and we were married. I was looking forward to no wedding planning and just enjoying the honeymoon (we left two days after the wedding). Coming back from the honeymoon was a little sad because I didn't have a vacation to look forward to anymore. However, our lives post marriage have been filled with so many changes that we have a lot to be excited about.

    Now whenever I attend wedding I'm so happy for the couple and so happy I'm not the one getting married...but i'm so jealous of everyone getting to do a honeymoon!

    It's the day after our wedding, and now we're at a hotel in town. We leave for our honeymoon tomorrow. I'm a bit of an emotional roller coaster (90% happy, 10% sad) but my most dominant experience is: HUNGER!!!! I don't remember the last time I was so hungry. I wasn't purposely under-eating the week before the wedding, but I must have been, because I dropped about 5 pounds in a matter of days while barely sleeping at all.

    Last night, I slept 10 hours then woke up and ate two orders of breakfast. Then snacks. Then an enormous lunch. Then I got my period. It's like my whole body was in suspension the past two weeks. Then the wedding came, it was so much better than I could have imagined.

    Now I'm lounging by the pool. It's sunny and 70 degrees here in California, and I'm feeling very relaxed and grateful. I also REALLY want to go home and organize and unpack and do laundry before the honeymoon, but I don't think that will happen. We already packed for the trip, and I'm convinced I'm going to forget to bring something important. All of my attention was on wedding planning, and I've barely even thought about the honeymoon. I'm happiest when I have something to plan and organize, so I'm hoping to read this Kindle book to get stoked for the trip. But my thoughts keep going backwards, reflecting on things guests said and what happened yesterday, and how great our rings look.

    So, that's my experience!

    This is exactly how I expect to feel! I will be relieved to be done planning something which has taken 2 years to come to fruition (which is far too long and really very few events require that long to plan), but I will feel sad I now don't have something to plan, and will likely miss it.
