Still trying to get back to normal or find the new normal. I moved into his place a week before the wedding, we are still sorting out two condo worth of stuff. I still working on Thank you notes. We are in the process of picking out pictures since we meet with our photographers on Sunday to choose our album. I also need to get songs to the videographer. Sometimes I think left will never slow down. I also have moments of feeling like I've lost myself in this process. Name change is also slow going and a royal pain in the behind.
It will be a few months
I found that things were even MORE busy right after we wedding. There was so much that we put off that needed to be done
And in terms of wedding stuff....writting thank yous...etc
You WILL get back to normal...I promise! :-)
It just takes a few months
It took 3-4 months to really wind down. We were still very much dealing with aftermath---things we put off, getting wedding related things wrapped up, and just dealing with clutter (both mental and physical) for many months after the wedding.
We're just getting to that period now...it's been 2 mos+ for us.
Yes the days after the wedding were super busy for us as well. We've already sent out TY cards out, completed the registry thing. I have the name change to do as well.
It's nice to know it's not just me and we will get back to our normal and we may be half way there!
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I'm starting to feel bad about the Thank yous, however they overwhelm me.
It will definitely take a few months. We didn't live together before we were married, so it was a whole new adventure! We also had put things off and had to sort through gifts and thank you notes. Then it was suddenly Christmas, so it will definitely take some time until you both get into a set routine with each other.
@kayakgirl73: We found that a bottle of wine made the thank you note writing process MUCH easier ;) You'll feel so good when you have them off your plate!
Yeah, we're still dealing with wedding related stuff. We have thank yous to finish, I have curtains to sew (they were put off until after the wedding), same for painting the condo, also we are buying corals for a fish tank this weekend that was put off after the wedding, and we still have to choose which pictures we want to buy.
It's been almost 6 months and apart from sorting through the wedding pictures, I think we're back to normal. We have a few wedding related items to sell or get rid of, but nothing crazy. Right now we're working on our house which takes up most of our time.
We were back to normal pretty quickly. Most likely since we had to move in a month and that threw the wedding from our mind at high speed.
Picking out the pictures is taking longer than I thought. Ack. I had issues with not getting the photos that I wanted but there are still a lot of nice pictures. Unfortunately, we do not have a good formal full length of the two of of us. We also have very few pictures of the entire wedding party and many of those one person or other has a goofy look or their eyes are closed. Its hard to have to choose to use a not great picture because that's the only pic you have of what's seams like something you have to have a pic of, which leads to leaving other good pics out. UGh.
I'm so itching to get those thank you's done! I'm overwhelmed trying to be a wife and work right now. I feel like i'm failing because i still haven't unpacked my bag from our honeymoon and it's been a week! So not enough time after work. I cooked one actual meal-- we went out to eat 2x. I can't wait for the return to normal-- or normal with a husband. :-) I feel like it might take a month or 2!
Miss Damask it took us at least two weeks to really be able to fully cook in our kitchen. Some of my honeymoon stuff was weeks getting unpacked. I.e. the stuff I didn't wear. It was all summer stuff which I didn't need in Virginia in November.
It's been about four months for us, and about three months after we started to feel normal again. You'll get there, it's just takes a while. Mailing the thank you cards was a huge start for us:)
Gah, tomorrow we'll have been married a month and there is still no end in sight. We moved this weekend and it will be at least another week before everything is settled in that regard. Then there are thank you notes (*sobs* which are going to take FOREVER) and unpacking the gifts his parents have at their place in another states. We won't get those for another month. I am job hunting, so that adds to the craziness-- we are forever exhausted, and even our intimacy has suffered. We just fall into bed at night exhausted!
Glad to hear that this is relatively normal. I'm hoping we can a little more back to normal by Valentines Day. I HOPE
Hang in there, Miss Rain. It will slowly get better. We finally got our album ordered, but know our video guy needs his song to get the video done. Another thing for the do list. Also, some long backordered crystal came in so Now I have to check each piece as in our previous shipment we had a broken stem. The outer box was fine and so was the inner box, but still one was broken.
It took about 2 months I would say. But I was sad when everything got back to "normal" - i missed my wedding. :(

Sorry, there are no users yet.
How long did it take you and your DH to get back to 'normal' whatever that may be for you? We've been married a month and it still seems like we are doing wedding things...next up is selling our items, then it will be pictures.
