Post wedding blues - what're you working on now ?

I totally feel you! I'm on these forums way more than before my wedding. It's the sudden vacuum about not having something to plan. Thankfully, I'll be working with my now SILs to plan my MIL and FIL's 50th anniversary next year!

My PhD is more than enough to focus on and helping my husband finish his.

Im also planning a baby shower for my bff who is expecting twins and sprinkle for my cousins wife who is pregnant with her second child.

My twins sister and and I are also planning a huge 30th birthday for us next year which is apparently like hosting another wedding all over again.

I got married in June. We're actually planning our honeymoon now. We're both so low key and indecisive that it's not turning into much haha. Other than that, we have been trying to find someone to do our floors in our house. That's a task and a half. My SIL is getting married next weekend so hopefully that's a good time! After the wedding, I started thinking about future parties but now I'm over it again. It feels like my wedding was so long ago. I'm also starting to work on getting pictures, printed, researching options for photo books and albums.

Omg, yes. The day after I was emotionally a little bit sad because for the month prior it was plan, plan, plan, and suddenly it was just...over, haha. My husband and I already lived together so really the wedding was just ceremonial - we already act like a married couple. :p I'm slowly weaning myself off wedding brain by browsing the forums here (which I wasn't even part of beforehand), stalking the shared photo album with my guests for updates, and planning out how to make our wedding album via shutterfly. We are going to a cousin's wedding tomorrow, and the leaving for our honeymoon on Monday before school starts again (we're both teachers) so that should get me through it, I think! Good luck ladies; post wedding blues is definitely a real thing that I wish someone had warned me about before, haha!

I feel you. You spend months (if not years) planning your dream day then in the blink of an eye, it's over. I personally just started a new job and my husband just moved into our first apartment together. So setting up the house is definitely helping. I also just got a bunch of new house plants that I get to care for and nurture so I am excited for that. I think it is just remembering that before the wedding you had a "normal" life and now you are getting back to that.

We have a delayed honeymoon in January (married last month), so that's been fun to focus on! But also on here to help and see everyone planning theirs and the fun involved in that! Probably focus on buying a house next (we rent a house) and still working on my masters lol

I didn't know it was a thing either. I am happy the stress is over with, but I am also sad my wedding is over. I asked my husband just the other day if there is something else we could plan. My husband wants to have children right away even though I would like to wait at least 6 months to start trying, but I have already been looking at ideas for my baby shower and a nursery just because it gives me something to plan.

My husband and I are in the process of adopting through foster care. We started the process in January and are now waiting to be matched with possible children. It is a long process! We also finished remodeling our home and are now about to tackle our landscaping.

My fiance I are going to landscape, renovate the kitchen, and start looking at the process to adopt after we get married as well!
We're well over a year from our wedding but our to do list isn't short 🤣

Thanks! That list is not for the faint of heart but it has brought us closer as we have crossed each of those items off it! I wish you all the best in all your endeavors!

I’m in the same boat which is why I’m always on here. I also like providing input to anyone that might need help. I’m planning my class reunion which helps and we haven’t planned our honeymoon yet. My husband started a new job right after we got married and we didn’t want to go to the islands in May so we are waiting til February or March.

I feel you. After the honeymoon, I had to work with our photographer for our photos and video. After that, I focused my energy on decorating our home.

Post wedding blues are legit a thing! I think the only reason they haven't hit me terribly hard is because we've been spending this past month, immediately after the wedding/honeymoon, moving into a new house. And it has kept us super busy. BUT I did most of my wedding planning at work, shhh lol (don't worry, my boss knows), so now work has become very boring and empty.
