The first wedding we had after ours was a family wedding about a year after. It was fun and made me think, gosh our wedding was awesome! LOL it also made me a little sad because it felt like we officially passed on the newlywed crown.
We just went to the first wedding after our wedding last weekend... and it was so weird to see MR. & MRS. hisfirstname ourlastname on our placecard! It was fun, but I couldn't help mentally comparing their wedding to ours, since they were less than 2 months apart!
@lillindy haha, yeah, some of the weddings we went to before ours made us think ous was going to be awesome too! not to be too snarky though ;) it does kinda feel like passing on the newlywed crown though! and we've only had it 3 months :( haha j/k....we can hang on to our crown too for a bit, right? ;)
@7SEVENJ9: oooh i hadn't thought of the place card...that will be funny to see! we've gotten some mail addressed like that, but not too much. i still haven't changed my name on my credit cards or bank yet, so it's like i'm always having some kind of identity crisis ;) (though, i kept my name too-- i have 2 last names--which eases the transition psychologically a bit)
Ah the first wedding we went to after ours was amazing. We didn't have to worry about details or over-analyze anything. We were just guests and it was so nice! Plus...I'm with 7SEVENJ9 - the place card was the best part!
fi and i are going to our first wedding a month after ours...i'm a little nervous because his cousin is having a 300 person platinum wedding weekend and i'm worried ours won't compare. i know that's a silly concern, but it's still there :/
@2PeasinaPod:oh that's good to hear! they're a really fun couple, so maybe it'll just be good times!
@kitzy:oh i'm sure yours will be just as beautiful as your fi's cousin's! we went to a couple really, over the top glitzy weddings before ours, and honestly, i liked ours so much better (especially our diy details) 
I know what you mean. We went to a wedding 2 weeks after ours. I'll tell you it was REALLY nice to be a guest! :) And this couple had attended our wedding so it was kind of sweet to be at theirs 2 weeks later.
The first wedding we went to was 8 months after ours and it was my cousin's wedding. I love weddings but it was even more fun because I was now one of the married people, but I do have to say that my mom, DH and I made several comments about how that could've been done better or that didn't look quite right, or how awesome our wedding was compared to that one! It was a beautiful wedding once you got over how hot it was at the ceremony and at the reception, but I think we all think ours was better in one way or another:) We actually have our 3rd wedding to go to since we've been married tomorrow night, the third cousin actually! Glad I had mine all to myself!
Our first wedding after ours will be next Saturday! I am so excited for her!! I am playing my violin for hers, so I think that I might actually be ok :)
The first wedding we went to as newlyweds was less than 3 weeks after ours, and I had mixed feelings just like you. I guess I felt I wasn't ready to give up the feeling of being "bride" yet. But you know what? It was great. I was so happy for the couple, loved seeing all the little details, and LOVED being a guest and getting to just eat, drink and dance without having to mingle with everyone or worry about a thing. I think once you get there, you will have lots of fun.
we went to our mutual friends wedding just under a year after ours, and had never been to one before ours (except family before we were together). Honestly, I liked ours a lot more, but to each their own, cuz they loved their wedding.
thanks everyone-- you're all making me feel better, i'm glad i'm not the only one feeling this way! i think overall it will be a really fun night, especially now that i got this sad feeling off my chest :)
We had a great time at the first wedding after our wedding, but we were both friends with the couple and had a ton of mutual friends in attendance. I could see it being different if you won't know many people there. Try to have a good time, I bet you will.
I had a friend tell me once that the first wedding you go to after your wedding is the best wedding you'll ever go to 9except yours, of course). You get to relive some of the great parts of your wedding, like dancing together, without all the stress of making sure everything is perfect. And you get to eat and enjoy the food. have fun, enjoy being married, and just enjoy the day.
Wow, I really liked seeing how everyone is both excited AND a little weirded out by going to their first wedding as a married couple!
We will be going to our first wedding as a married couple in May of 2011 and we just got the STD a couple weeks ago. I was so excited to go to their website and look at their venue and start to get a feel for their wedding! I am excited because we will have been married 9 months by that point so I dont think Ill be comparing SO much but Im sure a little. And in addition we will have 2 other friends weddings to go to in 2011 that I am really looking forward to!
We went to our first wedding as newlyweds six days after our wedding, the day after we got back from our honeymoon. It was weird, but nice to be a guest. I also enjoyed how FH was really into the details and kept whispering to me how we did everything so much better, which was nice, because I did most of it. I also enjoyed not having to catch the bouquet and participating in the anniversary dance. Weddings are much nicer for married people!
We are going to our first wedding next saturday!! i'm not sure how it will be and if i'll end up comparing theirs to ours. but we'll also have been married for half a year at that point, so maybe the bride feeling will have passed and i can enjoy being a guest!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
tomorrow hubby and i are attending our first wedding after ours. i'm excited for the couple, and for the wedding-ness since i do love weddings, but i think it's also going to make me miss our wedding a bit! we went to so many weddings during our engagement and during/after all of those, we had all these secret little side convos about how details in our wedding would be similar or different. this time we don't have our big day to look forward to anymore, and it makes me a little sad...
i guess though also, this couple is mostly my husband's friends--i don't know them as well at all. i bet it would be different if i knew the couple better--then i'd probably just be super happy for them. also my dress just got back from being preserved so i'm thinking about how i'm not going to get to wear it again... of course the important thing is to actually be married, but still....it's a little sad that our day is over!
do any of the married bees know what i'm talking about? what was it like being a guest like for the first time after your own wedding?
