Despite having a flawless wedding, why do I still feel unhappy?
Hi Marie,

Congratulations on your recent wedding! I can only imagine how amazing it must have been, and I'm so happy that you and your husband had such a special day. I have to agree with you, the excitement and love that surround a wedding truly make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

However, I can also understand why you might be feeling a bit down now that it's all over. After all the planning, anticipation, and excitement leading up to your big day, it's natural to feel a bit of a void once it's all said and done. And it's important to remember that these post-wedding blues are completely normal and temporary.

Instead of focusing on the end of the wedding celebrations, try to shift your mindset to the beginning of a new chapter in your life. Your marriage is just getting started, and there are so many exciting things to look forward to. And while your honeymoon may not be until next year, why not plan a mini getaway in the meantime? It could be something as simple as a weekend in the countryside or a spa retreat, just something to break up the routine and give you both time to relax and unwind.

And while you're waiting for your professional photos and videos, why not take some time to reminisce about your wedding day with your husband? It's a great way to relive those special moments and keep the excitement alive. You could even reach out to your photographer and videographer and see if they have any sneak peeks they could share with you.

Remember, marriage is not just about one big day, it's about building a life together filled with everyday moments. So take this time to create new 'firsts' as a married couple, whether it's trying a new recipe, redecorating a room, or starting a hobby together. And don't forget to take care of your mental health – allow yourself time to rest and recharge.

While it may feel like life is suddenly less exciting, there's beauty in the routine of everyday life. So embrace your new status as a married couple and create new habits that bring joy to your daily lives. And as Christmas approaches, focus on making plans for your first holiday season together.

It's also important to talk to your spouse about how you're feeling. Lean on each other for support and verbalize your emotions. And don't forget to make time for your other relationships as well, whether it's catching up with friends or spending quality time with other couples.

Remember, these post-wedding blues will pass as you adapt to this new chapter in your life. And before you know it, you'll be off on your honeymoon, creating even more special memories together. Wishing you both love, joy, and many happy moments ahead.

Best wishes,
Alison
