Post Wedding Blues
Updated: Feb 1
FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MARRIAGE, THEN COMES THE BLUES
Post wedding blues are real. After all you’ve spent 8 months to a year planning this fabulous occasion, bonding with your Vendor Team, and Bride Squad and almost in the blink of an eye.. It’s all over. The emotional high and adrenaline from constantly planning and anticipating the Big Day is over and you’re left with Post Wedding Blue. Here are 5 tips to help you navigate the feelings and move forward
Acknowledge and Feel the feeling but don’t let it consume you. Talk to your partner about it because he/she may be also experiencing it.
Witness it, Allow it, Release it
Take a day or 2 to relax as newlyweds before leaving for your honeymoon.
Fill your calendar with new romantic events to look forward to.
Go on dates, walks, just spend time together outside.
Plan an Anniversary trip
Avoid additional major changes
Don’t start the journey of home buying immediately {Trust me it’s just added stress}
Don’t wait to move in together
It’s okay to NOT live together, but at least complete the physical part of moving BEFORE the wedding.
Talk to a professional
If you’ve tried all the tips above and still can’t get outta your funk, therapy may be a good next step. A licensed therapist can give you coping tools to get you back on the right track.
Remember, feeling a bit down after all of the excitement has past is perfectly normal and does not mean that you are ungrateful or that you are regretting your marriage. It’s just an empty feeling since all of the dopamine from constantly planning and engaging with friends and family about the wedding has gone away. As I always tell my couples… Remember why you said yes and you can easily get through the rest. You’ve got this!!!!!
