Watching your sister get married is one of the most amazing feelings in the whole world. I cried before they even opened the chapel doors, but I already knew how beautiful she looked and how excited my whole family was for her.
It was seriously one of the best weekends of my whole life. Just writing about it now is making me sad. After the stresses of helping plan and taking on responsibilities as maid of honor, I thought I would be thrilled to be back to “normal” life. Taking time to get back in the groove of things at work, at home and blogging.
It has been anything but that this week! I’m not sure if it’s the fact I’m fighting a cold and feeling pretty crummy, the damp, rainy weather we had at the beginning of the week or the fact I don’t know when I’ll see my family again, but I’m definitely feeling the post wedding blues.
There was so much excitement and so many events leading up to the day, that in a blink of an eye the weekend was over. I was surrounded by my family and friends and knew almost everyone attending the wedding (except some of her husband’s friends from college) so to go from a room of over a hundred people to being alone at my apartment Sunday night, it really was a weird feeling.
I will cherish the memories for years to come! And luckily, it sounds like my sister is back into a busy schedule at work and still has a honeymoon to look forward to in January, so hopefully she isn’t feeling the post wedding blues! With having a cold, I have not felt like getting back to blogging, but did want to share a few photos. My boyfriend is working on editing photos and I will share some of the wedding then! These few are literally the only photos I have from the whole day. I wanted to focus on being present rather than worrying about taking a bunch of photos. Anyway, have you ever felt this way after a wedding you were a part of, whether a family member or best friend?

![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.

I’m so glad the wedding was a success! I knew it would be. 🙂
I was a bit sad after my wedding was over- there was just SO MUCH planning/thought/effort that went into it, and I felt like the actual day went by wayyyy too quickly.
I’m sorry you’re feeling under the weather- get well soon!

What a wonderful experience! The weather tends to have an impact on my attitude too, come on sun!
Aw it is so sweet how happy you are for your sister. When you’ve been planning something for long and now you don’t have anything to plan anymore, it can feel a bit strange. I felt that way after our wedding, but we went on our honeymoon right away so it gave me a chance to sort of unwind and sink back into reality.
I’m so glad everything went well and I can’t wait to see the pictures!

Your blues are because you love your sister so much!
Glad you had a fabulous weekend! Just wait until your own wedding — even more emotions!
Happy the wedding went perfect, get some rest and enjoy it.
I want to see more pictures!!! Glad you had a good time 🙂
Try having your sister AND your best friend get married 5 weeks apart! Talk about post wedding blues!!! But I am SO happy for both of them because they were both beautiful and elated to be marrying their dream guys. 🙂 Glad your sister’s day went well…you looked stunning in that IG pic!

Congrats to your sister
I can COMPLETELY relate, Rachel! I went through this planning my own wedding and then again last month after my best friend’s wedding when I was the Matron of Honor. There is so much time, planning, and excitement that go into all of it, and then it’s over in the blink of an eye. I didn’t quite know what to do with myself afterwards!
Awww how sweet was this post. Yous sister is lucky to have you as her sister & Maid of Honor.Plus you ladies looked Gorgeous. Love the matching Necklaces & Earrings. Please share more photos soon.
My brother hasn’t been married yet but I always get emotional at wedding, especially if it’s close family member who get married. They are beautiful what can I say. =)
Stop by to see what I am up to lately. Have a great weekend, Ada. =)
Awww looks like it was a beautiful wedding!

A wedding is such an all consuming thing, I can totally understand how you must be feeling now that its over. But I’m sure things will start to get back to normal and you will always have those wonderful memories of the day.
Can’t wait to see some more photos! I don’t have a sister, but I can only imagine getting to see her get married- it must be so amazing!
Oh yeah I cried at my sisters wedding too, when the limo came to the house, at the church, during the toast…

Awww, it sounds like it was lovely and you had the best time! I haven’t been to a lot of weddings, but I can totally understand why you’d feel the post-wedding blues. Also, sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well- hope you get better soon!
That is so sweet! Congratulations for your sister!
Looks like such a gorgeous wedding! Sorry to hear you’re suffering from the blues & a cold I hope you get back to normal soon.
Happy to know that all was a success!
Beautiful and sweet post,
Ciao
Aww, how sweet! I love that you were so excited for your sister. Beautiful photos!
Hang in there! This weekend was one to cherish & remember forever! Hopefully, you guys can all be together again soon!! And feel better!!
Weddings are so fun! I can't imagine how it feels to watch your sister get married (no really, I can't imagine because I'm an only child), but I'm sure it's an emotion packed moment! She looked gorgeous.
Congrats to your sissy!!
What an amazing day! Both you and your sister looks beautiful! xx
I can’t wait for my sisters to get married… I am sure it will be an amazing day, full of great memories and love. Congrats to your sister. Oh, and you looked gorgeous!
