When you’re in the thick of wedding planning, it can feel like this phase of life will go on forever. But believe it or not, at some point you WILL actually be married, and wedding planning will come to an end (insert cheering emoji / crying emoji here - take your pick!).
I see a pretty split reaction to this, with half of us feeling thank universe, the wedding can’t come soon enough ... having all that extra brain space back from planning and organizing a million tiny details will be amazing.
On the other hand, there are also plenty of us who absolutely love the engagement and planning phase, and are NOT looking forward to it ending. Post wedding blues are a real thing, and we’re going to talk about that today too.
To start today off, I have some post-wedding takeaways and advice from past WPP couples (including myself!). They share what they loved, and in all honesty, what could have been better.
During the second half of today’s show, I have an actionable checklist of things that will need to be handled after the wedding.
So if you’re sad about it all coming to an end … don’t worry - it doesn’t actually end, there’s still lots more to do!

Cheers to you,
Kara
