Newlywed here!
I got married exactly a month ago and have been really struggling with post-wedding blues.
While I enjoyed the day and am appreciative that nothing went too wrong (there was a minor catering mishap, also didn't get all the group photos that I wanted), I don't look back on it and remember being elated, giddy or feel that it was perfect. I have generalised anxiety disorder so am not surprised that I spent the day anxiously anticipating something going wrong, and I knew at the time that I'd later be frustrated at myself for that.
I also feel as though life has returned to normal so quickly and I'm not experiencing the highs and excitement of the 'bridal era' that I hear about. We had a lovely few days away for a minimoon, and are holding off on arranging a honeymoon because of what's going on politically in the world right now, so I don't even have that to look forward to.
Even when looking back at the photos, I don't feel excited or full of fireworks.
I'm incredibly in love with my husband and our relationship is amazing, so I'm not at all linking my apathy to him or our relationship!
My questions are:
Has anybody else here felt similarly after their wedding?
What are some ways we might be able to cultivate some newly wed giddiness over the next few months?
Thank you so much x
