Just got back from the honeymoon! I guess its on to normal married life now

Jet lag is a serious thing. We had a full 24-hour travel day, including 13 hours of flights... where we were seated in front of crying babies on both flights. I didn't sleep much, but instead pondered seriously our decision to start a family. He of course- sleep without issue. I guess men's internal workings are programmed to wake up every time a baby makes a noise.

I woke up at 5:30- right as he was getting back into bed after being up since 2 am. I started a load of laundry and am sort of going through the 2,600 photos we took on our 15-day honeymoon. I'm debating if I should go through the wedding photos again online or just wait for the digital copies to arrive in a few days. Not sure if I should do yoga or walk the dog, or go to the grocery store, or try to sleep some more.

But it is strange to be here right now, this early on a Sunday morning. And realizing that now... we just go on living. No more wedding, no more sightseeing. We have chores and responsibilities and a life now. I'm equal parts excited to move on and sad that it is all over.

Here's one quick wedding shot... I'll probably do a recap in the after wedding section at some point.

  • Congratulations on your wedding and, what sounds like, a lovely honeymoon! I get the equal parts sad it's over and excited to be married. FI are getting married in August, and currently living 2 hours apart. We are actually a little flip-flopped and really excited to have a routine and have life go on as normal. We're ready for the wedding to be over so we can live together, and go grocery shopping and walk the dog together. We've never gotten to really do the normal everyday stuff together. 
    Although, I'm sure we will feel just like you once the wedding is over and kind of miss the anticipation and countdown to the wedding. And I know we will miss the honeymoon! I wish we could all just travel and sight-see and never work! lol Wishful thinking. 
    Congrats again and I'm sure you two will settle in nicely. I'm happy for you!

  • Lol we are just about to celebrate our first anniversary and I still feel like that...you mean we have to clean and cook and take the car in for repairs? Life will always be imperfect but at least you have someone to take on the world with. That is what I appreciate most now. Organizing your lives together takes time too. It took us the better part of 6 months to work that all out.

    Beautiful photo, gorgeous dress! Congratulations!!
  • Congratulations.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

  • beautiful picture! congrats on the wedding, and welcome to the married old hag club :)  Still after almost 1 year of marriage I still am having fun so I promise there is more to look forward to. You might not be planning a wedding but will have lots of "firsts" to look forward to this year.

    I think the trick is to plan more vacations so you have something exciting to look forward to. Also, the photo you posted is absolutely gorgeous!
  • Great picture!

    We both had a bit of the "what are we supposed to be doing" feeling after the honeymoon.  Luckily, we had the home buying process to look forward to.  Now that that's over, I'm desperately trying to plan a vacation for us.  We need something new to look forward to.  Since we lived together for a year before the wedding, we already had our home life figured out so there was really no adjustment time needed there.
