Wedding comedown

It wasn't even my wedding !! It was a family member and it had been planned for ages, it finally happened this weekend and it was lovely. I've woken up this morning feeling flat, teary, mixed up, strange! Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this after big events. I just want to rewind and do it all again in slow motion!

I had this after my own wedding. I actually burst into tears in a restaurant on my honeymoon !
You need to plan something nice, something to look forward to.

ahhhh you're my people! Take a day to luxuriate in the memories, if you can, and maybe send a couple of messages to the people you enjoyed spending time with to tell them how much fun you had. Write a little note to the bride and groom and post it. Basically wind down slower, so that it doesn't feel like an abrupt stop.

I have felt like this a few times, can you meet up with other people who attended to talk about what a wonderful day it was?

DogsAndGin · 08/05/2022 07:59

Yes OP this is all very over the top YABU

Sounds fun. So much to take in. Now get out and carry on with the joy for your newly married friends. It's not the end of your world surely.

I usually cry in relief weddings are over and I don't have to see anyone I'd rather not engage with or make small talk hopefully for another year.

I'm like this with concerts. I realised how much I missed live music during the last two years, so all the events planned in 2020 are finally happening. I went to a concert in March and felt so deflated after the big high. I've booked myself another one for a few weeks time, but as it's a band I like but not love, I'm hoping the come down will be easier! 😁

Yes I did this. I'm an introvert and the whole day was so overwhelming by the end of it. Needed a week to recover!
