Its so exciting organising your wedding, i loved every minute and wasnt too stressed. I had 9 months to prepare it. And the day went amazingly, i loved every minute of it and am so glad we got a videographer to film the whole day. But now i feel like ive an empty hole in my life, when i was organising the wedding i was so busy and got a real buzz from it. Its all over now, since the thank you cards went out I feel like im missing the buzz of the wedding prep so much, its sad i know. I need a new hobbie. But Im wondering does anyone else feel like this???

I think everyone feels like this, twidling your thumbs for a while, now that you have extra time on your hands you can do something else, maybe take up an evening course or something. Have you gotten your pictures and video yet? Often the rush of excitement comes back for a while when you get to show all your picures off.

Well surely before the nine months of wedding preparation, you didn't have a big hole in your life? You just need to get back to that.

Yes OP, we are both with you!

Our wedding was in July and we find it somewhat difficult to come back to or try to find some sort of "normal" routine since. Well don't get me wrong, we're not complaining! Only feeling that we were going at 100mph non stop for some 12 months of wedding prep, and now it feels really slow and quiet...
I already hear all the cynicals out there joking about starting a family as a new hobbie that would keep us all so busy there would be no time to sigh...
I did caught myself googling "post wedding blues" same way we hear about baby blues... It makes me smile to read what I just wrote because really everything is fine and wonderful!

The perspective of your new life is also probably quite daunting as it is a big change to start living with your new husband. Really that's a lot to take in. But as long as you can talk about everything together and laugh together all shoud be fine. So did say a lady married for 40 years I was talking to yesterday. She made it sounds so easy and comforting. Laughter and communication, and never go to bed without clearing the air...

To keep ourselves happy and busy, we're talking about honey moon number 2, and 3, and 4... Good projects are essential to hapiness!

Now you have all your life to rejoy at your wedding memories. Congratulations to you both and all the best with your new life!

Do something special for each month you are married, a movie, play,dinner etc. We are married almost 5 years and still mark each month. Its lovely to know you have a lovely couple night each month. Also have a big family/friends get together and get them to take over all the photos of the wedding they took and you will have a great laugh.
