It hasn't hit me that I'm MARRIED. Is it normal?

Jen, on June 8, 2014 at 6:48 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

I recently got married. Yeyyy!!!! I haven't had time to log-in to wedding wire because I was super busy with preparations, honeymoon, etc. And for some reason, it's hard for me to believe I'm married now. It hasn't hit me. Like, I feel that everything happened so quickly. In the blink of an eye, I got married because the ceremony was about 30 minutes and all of the sudden after SO many wedding plans, the reverend said: "You may kiss the bride" and inside my head I thought: "Is that it? So quickly?" And also the next day after our wedding night I was thinking: "My wedding is over" and got a little sad. But that was only one day. After that day, I realized how blessed I was to marry such a good man and I forgot about the whole wedding. But I still feel weird. It hasn't hit me. Even telling someone: "This is my husband" feels SO surreal. Maybe it's because it's my first serious relationship and before I had bad luck with guys. I thought marriage was not for me. Is it normal I feel this

    Yes - because things don't magically change once you're married. :-) Honestly, I felt married before I was married.

    When my sister's bf (now fiancé) first met and spent time with us, he was surprised we were talking about getting engaged; he already thought we were married. We've lived together since November and it's starting feel like we're married because we've joined most of our bills and consult each other on all decisions basically.

    Even with all that, I'm sure my first few months will be completely surreal.

    I notice a lot of my newly wed friends and family members overusing WIFE and HUSBAND in every single conversation I have with them, maybe thats their way of making it click they are actually married..

    I think you need to do a BAM post here. You know, if we don't see pics -- it never happened!

    I think I'm not part of the norm. I actually felt "different". Almost like graduating. It was hitting a milestone in my life. Not that anything's changed. I still pee out of the same hole as before.

    I imagine it will be pretty surreal, but then again--a lot will be changing for us. Hopefully it's in a good way for you!

    It hasn't even hit me that I'm GETTING married, and the wedding is in 3 weeks. I wouldn't worry about it.

    It is still weird to me too. But I havent even changed my name yet. I think it is so funny how my friends say stuff like, but you guys are married and you are mad at him?? Ummmm being married doesnt magically mean he doesnt piss me off. So, I feel you. We felt married before the wedding. I guess when I change my name I will feel a little different, but only if I have to sign something lol

    Yes, we need BAM post! We've been married exactly 7 months today and it still strange to me. I haven't got accustom to calling him husband and I just recently changed my name last month. It takes a while to adjust, or it is for me.

    We lived together for three years before we got married, so it didn't feel different in that aspect. We came home from the honeymoon and carried on our lives like we did before. But, every time I get to write my new name and every time he introduces me as his wife, I get kind of giddy. Neither one of us "feels" different per se, but knowing that we committed ourselves to each other makes us both feel happy...if that makes sense, haha.

    We just got married maybe 3 weeks ago. So it's still very new also. I sent off my paperwork to the Social Security Office last week, so we'll see what I say when I get a SS card with a different name on it.

    Totally normal. I was married 10 days before you were and I still get that little "really??" feeling every time I say "my husband".

    I am also guilty of skipping the BAM post...
