Feeling the Post-Wedding Blues

in Wedding Recap and Withdrawal
Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be married and I love my husband. We have been together for six years. We have been married two days. 

Once people started to leave brunch, I could feel the depressed whatever coming on. We spent so much time planning this event. It happened so quickly and now its over. 

I am sure other people feel this way as well. Any suggestions to not stress, worry, or be moody about the weekend ending?

    it will be 3 weeks for us this upcoming friday...  Everyone kept telling me I would feel these so called "blues."  I haven't really felt them, but I do feel like I have nothing to do now.   I was always so busy planning.  I think you just need to keep reminding yourself that everything that you and your husband worked for came beautifully and now you can enjoy "Married Life" together!

    Mine is very new. I just got married 3 days ago and my family just left so it just hit me that its all over. Putting things away makes me sit in notstalgia and cry. My new husband is very supportive and is coming to my side when I need him. Its hard when you spent a whole year doing nothing but planning the wedding! I dont work so it was all I did and it went off flawlessly and was like a fairytail. I just wish I could go back and do the day all over again one more time.
    Our honeymoon to Europe isnt until September so I am going to start looking on to that.
    Im glad I am not alone in this though.

    It hit me very hard but the only thing that helped me to get over it was time. It's been almost five months (we got married on 1-21-12) and I think I stopped thinking about the wedding two months ago. February and March all I could think about was how I wished it wasn't over and what could I have done differently. You'll get over it too, just give yourself time and enjoy being a newlywed.

    When I first read about this (a year ago) I thought, no way that’s going to happen to me.  I have so much to be happy for!  But I’ve experienced sadness and frustration over the simplest things in the last few days (my wedding was three weeks ago).
           Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly happy with my Husband and I wouldn’t change a single thing about him.  We had an amazing time on our honeymoon.  I’m just in a funk.  It’s a weird feeling to have sadness when you are supposed to be so happy.    Hoping it’s just PMS and that it will pass if I stay positive.

    I've been feeling more depressed with the regrets and things that I could have done differently for the wedding. All the free time I have now, definately doesn't help. But I've been trying to come to terms that things went how they did and now it's time to move on. Again, still working on that.

    My husband probably went through more wedding withdrawal than me! iused to look at the photos and watch the video pretty frequently, lol. My husband started to get the blues after the honeymoon because we not had to go back to reality. It will pass, all is does is remind you of how great your day was.

    Ditto.  Since wedding planning took over our lives for the past 9 months, it definitely feels odd now that it's over.  Yes, yes, the real reward of the wedding was coming together with friends and family to celebrate the new marriage, but it's a bit odd not having random details floating around in my head.  

    Now my husband and I are moving, so there's something else to get obsessed with :)

    I agree with most of the other posts... I have been married exactly one month and one day and am finally getting over some of the blues that happened right when we got back from the honeymoon!  I have tried to re-focus on other things to fill the "void" of not having a big wedding to plan.  I am organizing and cleaning out EVERYTHING that we own!  So far it seems to be helping!  And I'm able to exchange some of the gifts we didn't need for storage and organization bins/boxes! :)  It will pass, just enjoy your new, married life!
