Post-Nuptial Pity Party

Along with flowers and pollen Spring has brought us another of it's joys, wedding season!  A lot of people hate having to go to weddings and loathe this time of year but I find I'm almost totally the opposite.  I love going to weddings.  I love seeing my friends all dolled up, making wedding presents, eating free food, gushing over the bride, judging seeing how everything is decorated and of course, the dance party. 

So why is it that this year while I'm seeing all of these adorable wedding ideas and blogs posts about weddings am I sad rather than eager to read all about them?  Why did I get bummed when I saw the cutest wedding aisle dance party on Offbeat Bride yesterday?   Why did I want to punch a bunny when I saw the backdrop of my dreams on GreenWeddingShoes?

I'll tell you why, it's because I'm suffering from a delayed case of PNDS: Post-Nuptial Depression Syndrome.  Basically, planning a wedding was the funnest thing I've ever done and I want to do it over and over again until I get it exactly right but I can't.  My time has passed.  All of the awesome-ness and excitement over this one day is over and now I'm left with nothing but hilarious memories and a wonderful husband.  Life is so unfair.   

So I'm throwing myself a photographic pity party and you're invited.  The dress is casual, the menu cake.  Photos provided by Meredith Mascola.  I'll be not looking at wedding blogs if you need me.  
  

Sigh...

Thankfully my friend Annie- resident of Cake Town- is getting married this Summer.  Maybe she has an opening for a wedding day busy body so that I can get back in the game. 

...Annie?
