Post Wedding Blues

Harry, on June 19, 2019 at 6:13 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 9

We had a perfect wedding, but the night before the ceremony we had an argument with a lot of drama.

Even though we both had a great time, my guilt and memories of the argument are clouding out the good moments and won't go away. I feel inadequate, ashamed, and trapped because I can't reverse the past. Our relationship was very good before the wedding, but the planning stressed us out a lot. It now feels traumatic to think of that day, look at photos, etc. It feels phony and not authentic..even though it was. I feel tremendous guilt that my sadness is taking away from her being able to savour the day.

    I'm sorry to hear that it overshadowed your wedding day which I'm sure was beautiful
    You can't change what happened but you can move forward and learn from it.

    The negativity of the night before will fade. Talk through it, don’t bury it, and def don’t hang on to it. Make your cup half full

    We had a “are you sure you want to get married?!” fight TWO nights before our wedding. Wedding stress is real. We got past it and it sounds like you did too. But if you’d like to bring it up to apologize for something you feel you need to (tone, language), or to mention it briefly to point out how much you love her and are even more dedicated to a healthy marriage, I would bring it up. It means the world to me when my hubby can now acknowledge his part in our arguments and what he’ll try to work on in the future. The chats after our fights reinforces my trust in him and our relationship. ♥️

    I am sorry & can empathize with you. I kind of did that the day before we got married. (we were married Feb 14th but are having a ceremony & reception July 6th) I started an argument unintentionally and my husband does NOT argue. He is so patient & precious. I felt horrible that I fussed at him & when we got married, I felt guilt & couldn't enjoy the moment like I wanted to. It felt surreal & I was ashamed that I had fussed at him for no good reason. He is sensitive & so am I. I pray that our ceremony & reception day is filled with happiness & laughter. I also pray that you will feel better about your situation asap. Try not to hang on to those negative feelings. Just focus on the good and those will fade. Congrats to you on your new marriage.
