A woman is tormented by wedding regrets after spending $90K, lamenting the money she feels she has wasted.
A married woman shares her wedding-day struggles, including issues with her dress, venue, and other aspects of her big day on Reddit.
A woman on Reddit is looking for guidance after having significant regrets about the choices she made before her wedding.
ReceptionMore8424 expressed her guilt and heartbroken feelings in the "r/wedding" subthread.
She regretted her appearance on her big day, as she wore an ill-fitting dress, didn't get her makeup done professionally, and didn't have a spray tan.
She described her dress as a $5,000 trash bag due to its size, length, and wrinkles.
I didn't feel like a bride as I was overwhelmed and felt like I was playing dress up.
She regrets not losing weight, getting a facial, or having other beauty care treatments before her wedding, according to ReceptionMore8424.
She regrets her choice of wedding venue, which she found "classy and over-the-top." She now wishes she had opted for a "party/barn vibe" for a more relaxed atmosphere.
She wrote that she felt terribly out of place and experienced impostor syndrome throughout the day.
The woman, who is now married, admitted that she dislikes her wedding photos, which cause her to have emotional breakdowns due to the $90,000 she spent on her wedding.
"The whole thing was a waste, and that's all money down the drain," she said, continuing.
Despite being excited to marry her "best friend in the whole entire world," the wedding blues overwhelmed her, she wrote.
The user sought assistance from the Reddit community, stating, "I am unsure how to proceed and find it difficult to do so."
For months, she has been experiencing a pit in her stomach and a lump in her throat regarding this matter.
A common occurrence among couples who have planned their wedding with Zola, a New York City-based planning company, is experiencing regrets following the big day.
Cullman stated that we often lose sight of what truly matters on the wedding day, which is marrying the person we love the most, because we put so much pressure on the day to be perfect.
"Reflect on the moments that brought you joy and cherish those memories."
It's understandable to feel disappointed when things don't go as planned when a lot of time, attention, and budget is invested in the celebration.
After "the big day," many couples often experience regrets, including not having the ideal videographer or a "day of" coordinator.
Cullman stated that social media can cause wedding day guilt among newlyweds by comparing their day to those of others.
"To overcome the wedding blues, concentrate on the joyful aspects of your special day," she advised. "Remember the moments that brought you happiness and hold onto those memories."
Recognizing and accepting your emotions is crucial. Instead of suppressing them, acknowledge your feelings and seek support from a therapist or counselor if needed to process them constructively.
To commemorate the joy of marrying your best friend, either create a scrapbook with wedding highlights or write a letter to your future self.
