Already married, but negative thoughts about my own wedding

Nala, on December 13, 2023 at 8:03 AM Posted in Married Life 0 2

I don't know where it comes from, but more and more I have the feeling that I've chosen the wrong dress, we should have celebrated bigger and im talking a lot of things bad. But it doesnt make any sense, because i cant change it anymore?

I loved my dress from the back, but when I look at the photos from the front, I remember that the tailor may not have done a perfect job. No one said anything and I know I felt great that day. But when I look at the photos now, I often think to myself that one or two centimetres are missing at the front. It also didn't help that I recently saw the perfect dress in a shop window.

Did anyone have a similar feeling after the wedding? It doesn't make any sense anymore, the dress is bought, the wedding is already behind me and all my thoughts can't be changed?

I say this to myself several times a day and still these thoughts come up. We got married very spontaneously and I bought the dress in the second store. I fell in love straight away but had the feeling after the dress had been fitted that it somehow looked different. I had to buy it off the rack. But the more fabric was removed, the less I liked it. But even if all this is true, don't these thoughts make any sense now?

I know I'm too much of a perfectionist and it was only one day. But now I keep having negative thoughts. And the funny thing is: I haven't thought about all of this a long time. But when I saw this other dress .... it all came back.

It was a wonderful day, but we planned it in just one month. Sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't have liked a bit more time. But I also know that nothing is perfect and that's actually a good thing. And of course the main thing is: I'm happily married. So why im talking so bad about my own wedding? I dont want to talk about this with my husband, friends or family. I also don't want to hurt my husband with it

    Your feelings are normal and okay, but I wouldn’t tell my partner either. I’m also a perfectionist, but my wedding was different from other things or events. I would like to think of my wedding day as perfect because it had those flaws. What I would suggest is I find other things where being a perfectionist helps. My work require a lot of attention to detail. You would be a great bridesmaid for a friend, and you can vent to her and show her you care about the small things to make her wedding almost perfect when you’re in charge.

    My dress was a little too short in the front also and it bothered me that you could see the shoes slightly in some of the pictures when I'm standing on stone/tile.

    But then I read online about how this is actually correct in some situations like mine, where my wedding was outdoors in mostly grass and slightly hilly, and the grass could make you trip if the dress is too long. I'm at least glad I didn't trip at all or even have to worry one bit about tripping. Plus my shoes were cute so at least they got to peek out a little bit.
