Post Wedding Blues

Hello friends! Happy Monday.

How was everyone's weekend??

Mine was pretty good. Sadly, I don't have my camera with me, so no weekend pics for you! Gareth and I did have an engagement photo session on Saturday though (Gareth is a photgrapher, I pretend to be too) so I will share some of those once they're finished and edited.

This does mean that some more plans & intentions were followed through, as we have been having lots of picture days! Gareth has been taking photos nearly every day, and he's even commited to sharing a picture a day for 365 days on his blog. I love it! I think others will do, as he's pretty awesome.

Check out some of Gareth's work at his blog. He's pretty amazing at it!

I seem to be in better spirits this weekend. I think for the past little bit I have had a bit of post-wedding blues. I didn't think I was the kind of girl to suffer from something like this, because I wasn't all crazy about things being perfect or anything. But I think it's because I had a pretty big day lined up, arguably the biggest day of my life, and I had something really big to look forward to, to work towards, and to prepare for. And preparations there were, a plenty.

Now...I don't have something specific to look forward to. I'm so happy with the way the day went, and I loved every minute of it, and I wouldn't trade anything for the world. I just think that after having the majority of my time focused on this one event, there is a let down going on now because it's come and gone and now I have a lot of free time on my hands. Free times that has filled up very quickly with plans and friends and commitments I neglected leading up to the wedding, so it's a bit of a tradeoff I suppose.

Gareth thinks we need to plan a trip to Mexico or Costa Rica for this winter to have something else to look forward to. I won't complain ;).

This is me on our honeymoon...perhaps I'll look like this again soon??

Anyway, I think I'm getting over this feeling. I had a nice weekend, it was really chilled out and I was okay staying in my pj's all day on Sunday. And why not, right?? I think it's pretty normal to have these feelings after the wedding right? I know it's all about the marriage and not the day and la de da, but come on, who isn't going to feel a bit lost after months of being busy every single night after work, ordering flowers, going to dress fittings, finishing invitations and mailing them, and anticipating the happiest day of their life so far? Now that I've had it, I'm so happy and I feel so lucky to have Gareth, but back to real life it is, and sometimes that can be scary and the unknown can be frightening, not fun and exciting.

C'est la vie, take every day as it comes. I'm just excited to be living it with my man :)
