    Ok, so I feel like I’m going crazy.  I just got married this past Saturday.  We had a great day.  The ceremony was beautiful (we had a traditional Catholic mass), the reception went well… everyone told us what a good time they had and how delicious the food and cakes were.  They were also of course very grateful for the open bar.  I was prepared that after I would be a little down that it was all over.  But I wasn’t prepared to be nit picking at all the little things I wish I would have done differently.  We had an amazing time, why can’t I just be happy?  The things I’m obsessing over weren’t even THAT major.  I wish we would have done more pictures outdoors, even though I decided not to b/c it was very hot and didn’t want to make my party suffer through that and be a sweaty mess.  I wasn’t very happy with the way my make-up was done.  Unfortunately I’m an acne sufferer and the girl didn’t do such a hot job covering it up.  But everyone told me I looked beautiful so I believed them and just went through the ceremony and re-did my own makeup before the reception.  But now I’m dreading getting the pictures and video back   and seeing how I look in them.  I’m very nostalgic and want to be able to enjoy them, not dread looking at them.  I also feel guilty not having more time to spend with all my friends and family who travelled to see us.  I know it was a crazy day and they all understand.. but I keep thinking I should have done more walking around and less dancing.  Even as I write this, I know how ridiculous I sound.  But please let me know if you girls have had similar feelings so I don’t feel so crazy.  I’m a very happily married woman and will always remember my wedding day with the fondest of memories, but I just wish I could let these other stupid things go.

    @Katreenie:

    I know how you feel. I've been married for almost 3 months and still think about things I wish I could have/ would have done differently. I keep asking others for reassurance and I know I'm just annoying everyone around me. I recently got my photos back and am now obsessed that my dress shows too much cleavage even when others tell me it's fine. I also cannot remember parts of the day which upsets me. Parts of the day are a blurr to me and I keep blamming myself. People tell me thats how it goes but I still have trouble letting things go in my mind.

    It's funny, I was really worried that I'd have a case of the blues after it was over, but I don't feel it at all.  It's been what, 7 weeks, and I have thoroughly immersed myself in getting the house set up (DH moved into my condo with me after the wedding) and playing catch-up at work. 

    I also went back to working on an eleborate scrapbook of my trip to Japan last year, which I got very far in, then abandonded it around last December to focus on the wedding planning.  By time I'm done that, if I start feeling post-wedding depressed, I'll just start up the Wedding scrapbook!

    So yeah, I say any ladies with this problem just need a good solid, FUN distraction!
