How to avoid being that wedding obsessed person...

Lena, on February 21, 2020 at 2:00 PM Posted in Community Conversations 1 6

Hello fellow future brides! So now that I am under 6 months to go, I feel like wedding planning has started to require more and more of my time and attention. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not stressed and I love making decisions with my fiancé, but lately I feel like it’s all I’m doing in my free time.

I guess I’m wondering, is anyone else worried about what’s going to happen once their wedding is over? I don’t want to feel like there’s a giant hole in my life just because I no longer have a wedding to-do list. I also don’t want to be one of those people that’s still living in the planning and obsessing over wedding wire daily after my big day has come and gone. Anyone have advice for how to balance it all? Thanks in advance!! Smiley heart

    I've heard brides on these pages talk about post-wedding withdrawals but I never had it, and I was 100% focused on our wedding for over 19 months of planning. After, the honeymoon was a super nice relaxing week to spend together then we got back to normal life and didn't hate having free weekends & free time & not having a wedding/honeymoon to put our money towards. The entire wedding was very fulfilling so I didn't really miss it or feel like I could do it over!

    I think it’s impossible not to get obsessed with it but after it was over I felt so relieved and relaxed. I’ve been focusing on doing things I actually like to do like playing my violin, art projects, learning some Korean, catching up on my video games. plus now I’m working hard on my health to get ready to start trying for our third musketeer.

    I was obsessed with planning. I am super type A and I wanted everything to be perfect, so I put a lot of thought and effort into planning our wedding. Once it was over, I was bummed because I really enjoyed the entire planning process. However, you end up finding new things to “obsess” over. After our wedding we decided to buy a new house, so I put my focus on selling our current home and buying a new one. So now that we have bought a new house, my time and attention is now on that. So I guess my advice is once the wedding is over, find something else to focus on.

    Currently laughing because this is exactly me lol but our next project after the wedding is buying a house and interior design. My best friends are also getting married so I’m probably going to help them plan
