Bride's Remorse?.....PLEASE Don't Let It Just Be Me

My husband and I got married back in December after making a very drastic decision to bump our wedding up by ten months, and giving ourselves five weeks to plan. Yes, it was our decision. Yes, we brought it on ourselves. No, we don't regret being married...not in the slightest. Getting married earlier was the best decision we could have made relationally and financially. However, now when we attend other weddings or we sit and watch wedding shows on TV or we see pictures on Facebook of high school friends' weddings....we feel a tinge of guilt. Because our wedding day wasn't our dream day. Several very important people couldn't attend, we couldn't have out full bridal party, and we couldn't have a reception. We are planning on having a vow renewal for our 5 year anniversary, and we'll go all out for that. But sometimes it's just really hard to wait that long, and 5 years feels like it's forever away. I'm not trying to complain, I'm more so just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or has any sort of advice for us.....

  • No advice for that specifically, but as someone whose 5th anniversary is just 6 weeks away, I can tell you that those years FLY by. 

    I'll also say that everyone looks back on their wedding with some regret.  I have regrets about my wedding. I always wonder if I should have gone much bigger or much smaller or just gone to the beach.  Hell, we'll all look back on our pictures in 20 years and wonder what we were thinking (the way our parents do with their wedding albums). 

    So yes, just try to focus on being happy and enjoying your new husband.

  • We always want what we can't/didn't have.  Focus on all the positive things about moving your wedding up.  The rest is just window dressing.  Give it time these feelings will pass.

  • Thanks for the advice! It's good to know I'm not alone, and that soon enough I won't think this anymore!
