Yes it does feel different to be married.

Some brides get married and shrug “ok, that was nice.” Others get married and are left in awe. Some are in between.

I’m a bride that’s left in awe. I guess because I see marriage as so much more than just a piece of paper. And that’s all I wanted anyway, I didn’t care about the wedding as much as I did the marriage. Now that I’m married I feel like I’ve been given an amazing gift. It feels different to me, but some people say they feel the same after the wedding.

Here are some things I wish would have been told to me about my wedding day

• You can plan,plan,plan and it doesn’t matter- something will hold you up. Your hair stylist will run over, an important family member will arrive late no matter how much you stress timeliness, or something random will happen. But the good thing is that you’ll be so wrapped up that you won’t care. (Unless you are a monster bride)

• Speaking of not caring…all the little things that you were a grizzly about won’t matter to you once it all starts. I think back to all the little things I was upset about and in the end it wasn’t that important.

• Post-wedding pictures take a long time. I thought we’d take pictures for 30 minutes tops- I was wrong ,and because of that dinner was served a lot later than I planned.
