No question about it, the days after the wedding, or certainly the days after returning from a honeymoon, if it follows immediately, are a big let down. Most couples I know rush right back into a hectic job and find a degree of distraction that seems to help.
But there is a residual downer. The weeks leading up to the wedding are filled with details; if we never learned multi-tasking before, we learn it now. There is a "high"---some cynics call it hype-- to this flurry of excitement, and weddings take on a life of their own. It's like preparing for opening night on Broadway. The show went smoothly, the reviews came in with praise and the cast party was a blast.
And now what! Well, you're married and you may not realize that's what this was about. Best advice: expect the let down and let it be. It will pass. In two weeks or three, when the photos are ready, all the memories will flood back; in fact, you may see you had more fun that you remembered the morning after.
Weddings are events and events have let downs. But those downs will let up.
