About Mrs. Chick

PWD?

August 17th, 2010 @ 3:32 pm by Mrs. Chick

I’ve read a lot about Post Wedding Depression, but since I usually came across PWD when I happened to be stressed about my own wedding, I thought, ‘pffft, this will not happen to me.’

We’ve been back from our honeymoon for about three weeks now, and I think it is beginning to hit me.

PWD? :  wedding emotional houston 1 1

Not that I didn’t LOVE all three of our weddings (Justice of the Peace, France, and Houston), but I’ve been making a mental list of things I wish would have happened differently, and now I’m writing it down to share with you all:

1. I wish the music system at the reception wouldn’t have crashed last minute (we had to use Pandora).

2. I wish Houston was not so hot in July, and I wish France did not have a heat wave the day of our wedding.

3. I wish I would not have forgotten to wear my sash during the France wedding (but don’t worry, I remembered for the Houston wedding!).

See? Sashless!

4. I wish I would have remembered everyone who told me to take a second, sit down with Mr. Chick during the reception, and just take a moment. (Don’t worry, we still have our fourth and final wedding in Taiwan!)

5. I wish I would have known about companies like Printable Press where you can give them your information, select a template, and create your personalized wedding invitations. I am considering using Printable Press for our thank you cards since they have such adorable templates, so I was curious as to whether any of you guys have ever used it.

I thought it would be fun to make a fewo polls this time instead of asking you for your thoughts in the comment section. Here we go!

Did you forget to do/wear something significant for your wedding?

My only regret is not taking portraits with the groomsmen and not taking time out to take pictures with my family outside of the posed portraits. All the other stuff detail wise I could’ve cared less about.

I’ve never heard of Printable Press but I am going to look into them now, thanks! And by the way, I think you still looked gorgeous with or without the sash!

I’m suffering still (2 months later) from a bit of depression…but it’s not from things I forgot or went wrong, it’s from the lack of planning and DIY in my life now!

I have regrets, but nothing that’s too big. As for Rifle–I don’t think their templates are ready yet. I wanted to use them for my invites!

We haven’t had our wedding yet, so no regrets to report; however, I am notorious for over analyzing how things went. I hope to avoid this with our wedding.

I feel the same way. I wouldn’t call it PWD but I do go over the little ‘details’ that didn’t go as planned the day of the wedding, and all the things I can’t changed. I kind of hate how everyone says to me that ‘no one danced at our wedding’ because all the young folks were hanging out on the balcony and that they couldn’t hear our ceremony. I get it. Not everything will go as planned and I’m still waiting for the day when I will let these things go. :-/

I used pritnable press and was so, so thrilled with the results. They customized the colors, fonts, general layout… and when I changed my mind, were so sweet about accommodating my bridal insanity.

Is that a Melissa Sweet dress? (Romina)? I think I have the same one!

Thanks everyone for their input and kind words!
It’s not the Melissa Sweet one, although I’m sure I tried the Romina on! It’s similar but mine is by Judd Waddell.
