Whoa, I never thought those words would be coming out of my mouth, but apparently, never say never! I was one of those girls who has been envisioning their wedding day (to a mystery groom) for as long as I can remember… always flipping through wedding magazines whenever at the library or bookstore… clipping inspirational pictures and saving them in a binder… devouring all those wedding related shows on tv (Platinum Weddings, Who’s Wedding Is It, etc.). I’m sure some of you can relate! ![]()
I was sure that after my own wedding on 9/8, I would go through “withdrawl” and wish that I could do it all over again. But recently, I’ve been experiencing wedding burnout. I see Platinum Weddings listed on my scrolling TV Guide channel, but don’t feel the urge to flip to it. Yesterday I was at Barnes with a friend and automatically picked up the newest Martha Stewart Weddings and InStyle Weddings, which have always been my sacred handbooks of all things wedding. But I flipped through a few pages of Martha and had to put it down. I honestly could not STAND to look at another picture of a slim model in a gazillion dollar wedding gown, the “perfect” favors, or an overly styled wedding cake. Maybe my words sound kind of extreme, but it literally felt like I had a physical aversion to it all!! Bizarre, I tell you!!
Hrmm, I hope this is all just a temporary phase because for the past 7 years of my life, I was positive that my ultimate career goal was to be a wedding planner!! I thought that after 9/8, I would dive head first into starting on this new path. But clearly, I need a break!
Of course, I’m going to sound like a hypocrite, cuz here I am, blogging on the biggest wedding blog out there about my aversion of all wedding-related things, haha. But WB is different, it’s something special that I feel SO lucky to be a part of!! I love this community, and of course, I still have lots to share about my own experiences! Sometimes I just don’t understand myself, hehe…
Is anyone else going through this?!
I am! I had finally stopped watching whose wedding is it anyways about two weeks after the wedding (8/11). I saw the new Martha but I didnt even want to look God forbid I see something so cool and wish I would have thought of that. You are not alone!
