i didn’t “feel” like a bride on my wedding day.

I think sometimes people have these expectations of how they'll feel on the day and it just doesn't happen. I think that's fairly normal, and I've heard it here quite a bit. I worry that all the social media hoopla kind of sets that up, unfortunately.

FWIW, that wedding photo in your profile is amazing!

Hello that's really a not a good thing to be feeling that way about your wedding. And your bridal is supposed to be there for you make that your are on and attend to your needs. But when your first looks with your FH that he had made that feeling go away. You mentioned wedding went well it's just that your bridal is the 1 that dropped the ball. Now you are married now try now to create better memories with your new husband. Congratulations to you both I have 2 days away my counted must missed a day it says 1 but Sunday is the day

I agree with that--there is too much hype around a wedding day where in reality it's just another day to most people. Maybe I'm just having post-wedding blues.

Thank you!

I hope your wedding is wonderful!

Yes I feel like most people dropped the ball that day and it really did just feel like a general party (one that I paid for lol) but my husband is wonderful and it's no surprise I felt better once he was around.

Over the past few years, I have learned that we cannot expect others to know our expectations around events. I learned this because my family and close friends make a huge deal out of birthdays, and have always gone above and beyond to make me feel special on my birthday (and really my entire birthday week). Then once I moved in with my fiancé, in another state away from all my friends and family, I felt like my birthday was a huge letdown. I was super disappointed in my fiancé for not making a huge deal out of it (and going extra overboard since he knew I didn’t have my friends and family here). However, in his family they don’t make a huge deal out of birthdays. So any little effort is a big deal. So he thought he was doing a great job, where I thought he was really dropping the ball. I finally realized that people just have different thoughts, experiences, opinions, etc. about how to handle events and how to make people feel special, and we can’t assume they will handle things the way we would handle them or The way we would like them to be handled. I am so sorry your friends and family didn’t understand how to make you feel special on that day, I know how disappointing that can be! I would just give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t realize what they were doing, and focus on the rest of the wedding which sounded like it went fantastically! Congratulations on your marriage!! 💕

Some people have been dropping the ball with me as well but after I gotten some prayer and talking with God to stop excepting ppl to do right things some have your best interests at heart and some are jealous. I'm happy that you are ok now and I'm going to enjoy myself well as my husband
