Does anyone ever feel like they already have PWD before the wedding is even here yet?! I’m already catching myself getting sad after I get tasks accomplished. Like…our invitations came in yesterday, and I was SUPER excited…and then today I was like…I’ll never get to pick invitations again…that part is over…boo. I’m ALWAYS like that. Yay!! I bought my dress!! Three hours later…oh…I’ll never be able to get the excitement of trying on dresses again……boo. Yay!!! We registered!! Two days later…booo, I’ll never get to do that again. Am I totally out of my mind? Anyone else on this crazy train with me, and how do you get off of it?!

@FutureMrsBPB: I can totally relate! My fiance keeps asking me, “So, what are you going to do after the wedding?!” I DON’T KNOW, I’m already sad! Although, I hope there will be some sense of relief. In addition to being super fun, this is all pretty stressful, too!

It started about March for me. One day when things were going wrong at work and life in general, I was thinking, just think about the wedding and the Honeymoon. Then I thought, well what happens when I have a crappy day in July? What do I have to look forward to? Yeah. that sucked.
I do miss the wedding and all the fun – but I started a list of all the things I put off/didn’t do because of the wedding that I get to do now. Things like making our wedding photo album, little weekend trips to take (to lessen the Honeymoon withdrawals), gifts to make for the SIL and BFF who are both expecting, etc. It’s working ok so far…but it’s only been a few weeks. We’ll see if I can continue it 🙂
Oh and also, I am not going to leave the Bee. I didn’t discover it until April, but I love it so much it would really cause withdrawals if I left it now!

@hisgoosiegirl: I totally know!! I keep thinking, I’m going to have nothing to do after the wedding. It’s so frustrating! And I’m totally not leaving the bee, either…at least not for awhile. 🙂

Can I share? I’m feeling down today because another photographer released amazing pictures from a wedding at my venue. I’m almost resigning myself to the fact that my wedding won’t look great with those weddings as reference. I know I shouldn’t care, but I fear judgement…especially because I’m a blogger and I do so much reading about decor and wedding stuff.
I’m getting married at a new venue. It’s owned by the most expensive wedding planner in town, so most of the people using it are her clients…and they have insane budgets.
So, every wedding I see at the place is probably a $50-70K wedding. I’m starting to feel as though my wedding is going to look pathetic there. I feel like I’m having an inferiority complex.

I feel the same way after everything! And I know I will be sad when the wedding is over, but I’m glad that I have sisters’/friends’ to look forward to and help plan in the future, and that helps a lot!

Mine’s not necessarily with the projects/tasks…because I have so many left it seems there’s not a light at the end of the tunnel….
BUT I get extremely sad that we only get ONE night to celebrate. Why can’t it be a week long festivity? All of our favorite people in one place and we only get one night? Boo. That sucks.

@Jeannine @ Small Chic: I can TOTALLY relate!! I used to be a catering manager at an expensive venue, so I’ve seen lots and lots of $60,000 weddings with like, 300 people…mine is a TON cheaper, and about 70 people.
@LadyCheri: That’s a really good point! It’s important to remember the PURPOSE of it all! 🙂
@yellowlace: My best friend told me the same thing…she was like, good, if you love it so much, you can plan min someday…lol!
@Wannabe-diy-bride: Ughhhhh I know, it needs to be longer than like, 5 hours. 🙂

@LadyCheri: Hahaha I love it!! I think my fiance would disown me. He’s already tired of the wedding stress. 🙂 He’s one of those, “I don’t really care/see the difference between burnt orange and orange, what are you talking about……….?”

I was a bit like I wont go dress shopping again and I wont choose or make this stuff again. I found it harder after, especially the first two weeks. I found it hard not keeping my eyes peeled for things that I could use on the day or for the weekend of the wedding. It’s weird that it’s not at the forefront of my mind anymore ;(

@CatyLady: I can totally understand! I’m always on the hunt for something weddingy…and I don’t really know what I’m going to do when I run out of wedding things to do…
