When everyone told me that I will go through post wedding blues, I thought "No way, I will be too relieved everything is over"
Well, I am relieved that all the planning is over, but ever since we came back from Kauai, my DH and I are both feeling mega blah. I know I am being silly, but I woke up today feeling " I hate this small apt, I hate work, I hate all the millions of people here. (I loved how I hardly saw a sole on the beaches of Kauai).
I am VERY VERY greatful for my apt and work and even though I am glad the wedding is over, I must admit, I miss the anticipation of this BIG DAY
Any advise how to get over this silliness?
Thanks

i felt the same way. i agree with vat28. a new project will do the trick. something creative. i took a jewelry class last month and it helped a lot. but i do wish i had a house i could obsess over...

i felt the same way and agree with the others. just find something else to keep you busy and focus on all the good things in life.

n41, i was truly relieved when my wedding was over. i got hitched the summer before my last year of my masters. it had become a full time job for me making this and that and i just wanted life to get back to normal so i could work on my thesis. about five months after, i got the post wedding blues. so my beloved and i came up with an idea to get married every year. of course future weddings won't be quite the extravaganza that the first was (maybe the 10th will be). but we have our bridal party around and we've sworn to do something rad to renew our vows every year.

Yay! My first post on the new boards.
I am going through the blues right now, too and am glad I found this post.
I knew I'd feel a little down, but I thought I could talk myself out of it because I knew to expect it. I've been back from my Honeymoon for a week and still feel kind of sad. The wedding planning was so stressful but it was also so much fun! It is hard being back without something to look forward too! I am hoping I'll snap out of it soon.

Before the wedding, DH always teased me about what will happen to me after the wedding planning's done! What will I ever do with myself and all that time????!!! To tell you the truth... I don't know... I'm into "post wedding projects"... organizing and scanning pictures, re-editing some of my wedding videos for friends and family, designing and updating our website.... so many little projects, that's preventing me from doing what i SHOULD be doing... unpack from the wedding, put away my stuff, paint the new apartment, work... instead, I found myself at Fry's electronics on Sunday buying an extra gig of memory, and 1/2 terabyte of harddrive space (that's 500 gigs of space). all those videos needs space! Not to mention I'm still behind on editing wedding videos for friends who have gotten married earlier in the summer who's weddings i filmed.
Oh.. and here... just another addiction...
However, immediately after the wedding, I took a week off and did NOTHING. I needed it. I really did not want to go back to work, or do anything else but veg.
well, gotta go home and scan more pictures!
