Married Life Check In

I feel at peace at well! Wedding planning was a lot of work. Fun at times, stressful at other times. Our wedding day and honeymoon were both amazing! We're already coming up on one month of marriage this week. I don't think there's been any massive shift in our relationship since the wedding, though I do think our relationship is even stronger now. I don't miss the planning, but I love hearing about everyone else's wedding journeys!

I have been married 6 months as of today! 🎉 Married life has been wonderful and the wedding could not have been better. I have friends that still bring it up and tell me how much fun they had when my wedding comes up in conversation.



I also have been working on home renovations since the wedding. We are part way through 2 kitchen renovations and a bathroom. Life has been busy but my husband and I are a solid team. Relationships with the in-laws have been stable on both sides as well (which is an improvement).

I am helping my older sister plan her wedding now (she is shooting for next summer or fall) so it is maybe an easier transition for me than for most. I still have an event to plan for and think about but without the stress of it being MY wedding. I don't miss the stress!

View Quoted Comment 6 months already?? That's awesome! Congratulations!!

I had such post wedding blues after the wedding. but i just kept myself busy with new projects after

View Quoted Comment Oh I’m so sorry. It’s like your identity totally shifts. So I get it.

Been married for over a year now. When we first got married I struggled with identity for several months as I changed my last name. My maiden name meant so much to me with my heritage. I had to adjust perspective on it and finally realized that I’m still me- LOL. Otherwise it has been so nice. We live in a city and drive 45mins every weekend with our dogs to the countryside for outdoor time together. Our dogs get to run off leash and swim in ponds and creeks. I get to horseback ride. My husband does insane running workouts in 70% humidity on unpleasant inclines. We take a walk together every evening to reflect on our day and talk about whatever we’d like.

View Quoted Comment Yes I think your feelings are normal. I had feelings about abandoning my name as well. So much history and pride to it so I opted to hyphen. Sounds like you’ve put some activities in place to ensure you have a thriving marriage tho! Live that you horseback ride!!

Married life is great! We have been married a little more than 8 months now and I couldn't be happier. Wedding planning was very stressful and although our wedding came out beautiful and we had a great time, I would never (hopefully! lol) ever do this again. Adjusting to married life has been fairly easy for us. We have been together and living together so long it wasn't a huge transition. Although I still get butterflies finally being called wife instead of girlfriend! But what I am most proud to say is that we are officially home owners! We just moved into our new home earlier this month and I couldn't be more excited to start this new chapter.

I don't miss planning even though we didn't just of peace and diy it back in July 2019. Legally married life is great👰🏿💍. But i feel we're already spiritually married prior = equally yoked. We've been together 5yrs. We are both very private and can tell each other anything. My husband is 1 of the best things that ever happened to me and is my absolute bestest friend. 👫🏿 The 2nd best thing is our upcoming baby! Spring 2023!🤰🏿🤠🤩💕
