So our wedding was just under two months ago, and I'm just now getting over that post-wedding funk.

Once we got back from our honeymoon, PWD didn't really hit me because I was relieved the wedding was over! I think I was just exhausted mentally and emotionally. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't go to the gym for a month, and after that, I could only muster up enough energy to go once or twice a week. On the weekends, I wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV all day. I went to bed early a lot and pretty much let myself eat anything I wanted. I wasn't depressed or sad, just tired, and in a weird funk. It obviously had a lot to do with the fact that we, as brides, put so much effort (especially those last few weeks before the wedding) focusing so much on our guests and the details and DIY projects that we're just at our wits end and pushed beyond exhaustion and stress. I just felt like I needed to let myself do whatever I wanted for a while to get my energy back.

Also, I was a victim of the "post-wedding regrets." I was second-guessing a lot of thing, including my dress, hairstyle, bouquet and even my wedding band! I think this past week I've finally let it all go and I'm in love with our wedding again. It had a lot to do with the fact that the only pictures I'd seen were from guests, and they were, well, not that great. I looked very odd in a lot of them. But, after seeing some new pictures recently from guests that are surfacing on Facebook, they were actually quite good, and I just felt happy with everything again. No regrets!

Also, the past one or two weeks, I've finally felt like myself again. I've been going to the gym four times a week, seeing friends again and being active on the weekends. I have energy to focus on our post-wedding projects we had talked about before the wedding like getting our office organized and planning for Thanksgiving holiday, etc.

Did a weird funk or post wedding depression hit you? How hard? Did you have the post-wedding regrets? How long did it take you to get out of it?

Good for you, Mrs. DG! It's always good to hear when former brides get over their PWBs quickly.
