I felt my first twinges of post-wedding depression the other day, when I realized we are less than 300 days away. In 300 days, I will be married and this will all be over. I don't think I'll miss the planning. I don't intend to miss the planning, or even the crafting (I'm feeling overwhelmed with what I have for Christmas to get done, let alone the wedding), but I will miss writing. We haven't really talked about whether we will keep the blog going after the wedding, but even if we do, a number of you will stop reading it because you too will be married.
Sure, I'll start another blog, and hopefully start getting more into photography, but it won't be the same. I could hang around here and write about being married and about our relationship and whatever house we buy and how we'll decorate it, but believe it or not, I'm not sure how much I want to talk about my personal life on the internet. Oh, and I hate decorating. I mean it. I really want to paint the walls and walk away. I don't do knick-nacks or matching towels. I don't do "nesting".
I could write about being a real live lawyer (if I pass the bar), but that's not fun, and confidentiality becomes an issue. I also can't necessarily get away with writing a wedding blog after I'm married. Now if it comes up on say, a job interview, I can explain why I started this blog and why I write it. But it will be weird after I'm married. Yet the thought of not writing here anymore totally bums me out.
Any ideas for how to enjoy PWD? Does anybody share my anxiety about not getting to blog about their wedding anymore? Does it come from anything more than a total need to be the center of attention?

I am 9 days away from my wedding. I have been thinking the exact same things. What will I write about once all the recaps are done? Will people still read it.
Blogging has been one of the best bits. I just wish I'd started sooner in my planning.
At lease you still have 300 more days to decide!
I feel ya. I have thought about this a bit and wondered what my blogs will be about after the wedding. But for now, I fully intend to post recaps for about 4-6 months after my wedding! :)
