Feeling of sadness after the wedding can be a common occurrance for many brides. Understanding that these emotions are normal can help brides process these feelings.

What is a rarely discussed issue that afflicts many brides right after the wedding? The post-wedding blues. These blues can occur the day after or a few weeks after the wedding. If the post-wedding blues have hit you, don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal.

And it makes sense, if you think about it. Many brides spend months, sometimes years, planning for their wedding. And, it’s one of the few times in life that everything is all about you. (That is, unless the bride in question is a self-centered narcissist who expects everything to revolve around her most of the time already, which is a totally different issue.)

After all, you have just left your single life behind. And even though you are confident that you married your soul mate, it’s perfectly okay to mourn the loss of your former life and feel a little sadness. Marriage is a big transition. Talk to you spouse about these feelings. More than likely, they are feeling similar emotions.
Be Social

The engagement is a time when lots of other things, including family and friends, get put on the back burner as couples frantically try to get everything done for their big event. Plan some outings with those that have been neglected. Book dates with friends. Host a cookout or a party. But don’t overdo it. Don’t jump from one harried, event-filled phase of your life, right into another. Plan to spend time with loved ones, but make sure you take time for yourselves, which leads right into the next point…
