Is it Normal to Be Sad After Wedding??

Firstly just want to say love your dogs being part of the day and I love your shoe colour as well. Secondly, I think it's like anything you do feel sadness when it is over. It's like when you have been on a great trip and you get home and feel down because it was so wonderful and now everything is just back to day to day life. I think it will disappear for you but it may take a while. Maybe just try and think about the future now and making new plans you can get excited about and look forward to .

I completely understand. My wedding was the same day as yours! Now that we're home from our honeymoon trip and everything is getting back to normal, I'm sad that it's over. I wish I could do it all over again just to experience it again.

It is absolutely normal to be sad! When you have been fixated and have invested so much time, energy, money in something it is a total let-down when it's over whether it be a wedding, vacation, Christmas, etc. You are not alone!

So glad you are naming this, I fear I will be sad to as I have had an intense relationship with wedding planning I am wondering how I will occupy my time when it’s over.

Oh wow I hope that won't be the case really for me I can't wait for it to be over and married to my love and we can get settled in. But the honey dont have to stop make it into a game. By giving each other note or directions to each other look forward too. I'm sure you won't be feeling sad any more

Cute photos!

i think it's normal to have post wedding blues. we spent so much time looking forward to something and planning for something so when it's gone, it just kind of leaves a feeling of like ... "Well so now what...?"

after my wedding was over and after my honeymoon was over, i definitely felt that feeling of like aw man what do i do now? because for some long your focus was directed somewhere. so now i think it's a good time to find other things to plan, learn, do, etc. but also why it's nice to stay on weddingwire so you can share your experiences and advice to others!

Totally normal! Like others have said, after you spend so much of your life dreaming about your perfect day, planning it, and finally get to enjoy everything, it's a bummer that it's all over. There's even an episode of Friends where Monica experiences this exact thing and says "I'll never be a bride again. Now I'm just someone's wife!" (and of course Chandler responds with "And I'm the happiest guy in the world!" lol).

Search this site for "post-wedding blues" type posts and you'll see how common this is! You put a ton of time, money, & effort into planning your wedding -- it makes sense that you'd feel let down when it's over. Maybe plan to spend some time & energy on your wedding photo album, reminisce with your new husband (often!) about how wonderful the day was, and then come up with something new to focus you attention on -- a future vacation, career move, hobby, whatever it is that will get you re-energized and excited. At the same time, if you feel sad that it's over, let yourself feel those feelings -- they are real! Good luck!

First of all, congratulations!! You look beautiful Second, yes, it's normal to be a little sad once the wedding is over. I was and sometimes still am, and I got married almost six months ago. I think it's because everything you worked for is all over, and then once it's all done, there's that "Okay, now what?" moment. The best thing you can do to combat that sadness is to look to the future and to smile when you do think about your wedding. Think about all the wonderful things that happen, and never forget that there are more to come.

I think being sad after the wedding is normal. You both have spent some much time, thoughts, money, planning that for a while it becomes a big part of your life for awhile. Your pictures are beautiful and I love the mint green shoes.

Best ever couple, But why don't you wear sandals under your feet?

Yes, I believe it is normal, I felt the same way about a month after my wedding and two weeks from coming home from our honeymoon. Planning took up almost two years (thanks Covid) and I didn't know what to do with all my "fee time". I really enjoyed all the planning and missed it.

By the way you looked beautiful and so happy! Love that you had your dogs with you that day. Wishing you much happiness in your married life.
