Wedding Hangover

This is the part of being in a wedding, the only part, that I really dislike. The day after. The day after the party. The day after the beautiful ceremony. The day after the hair and the make up and the shoes. Oh, and the dresses. They day after the one day that you've been planning for and looking forward to for a good while. The day after you watch one of your best friends go through an entire range of emotions and you get to bear witness as she does.


I find it kind of depressing.


When any big event or memorable day passes, I get a little sad. Christmas night rolls around and, all of a sudden, it feels like Christmas never even happened. April 5th? Never a fun day... But at least with these occasions, we get to do them all over again in another year.


Such is not the case with weddings. Weddings are once in a lifetime. The ones I've been in and attended this year have been some pretty great ones. I never want them to end and they fly by so quickly. I look at the pictures over and over to relive them. And then, in a few months, I usually get to do it all again!

As my big year of weddings comes to an end, I feel like a lucky girl. Lucky to have attended so many, lucky to have so many friends and, further, so many friends who are happily making joining their life with another's. Lucky indeed.
