I seem to be going through wedding withdrawls! Yes, you know the symptoms:1. Picking up wedding magazines and finding beautiful ideas and wondering how to use them, then remembering that I have no use for these ideas at the moment and why am I reading this anyway ?
2. Asking my way too young daughters what colors they want their weddings to be and trying to find things they would like. (Knowing that their colors and tastes will change many times before their big day.)
3. Saving good ideas from websites in folders marked "Katie" and "Delaney". (Which will probably be totally out of fashion when they get married. "No one does that anymore mom, that's so 2009!")
4. Thinking I have lots of paper crafts to fold, punch, glue and tie, when I don't.
5. Decorating rooms (like receptions, in my head) instead of just tables. This is dangerous, my tablescaping is already out of control, if I start decorating rooms to match tablescapes, my handsome husband will have grounds for divorce!
6 . Thinking maybe I would enjoy being a wedding coordinator - then remembering that a young lady I know, just graduated college with a degree in event coordination (or something like that) and got a job as a wedding coordinator! Do I have to go back to college?
But most of all, I'm looking at all the beautiful pictures and remembering what a fabulous day it was. Maybe that is why I am looking forward to the next one!

I can imagine that you are going through withdrawal. Everything I look at becomes an idea for my daughter's wedding. I know that once it is all over I will have a hard time adjusting to not planning a wedding. :-)
Aw. How fun to plan a wedding. I bet you're so helpful!
All the best,
Allison
Just wait till the baby comes! You'll go even more crazier.
Ahh, withdrawl... I know it well. Not only is the long planned and anticipated wedding of our son and daughter behind us, but having the entire family home at the same time and then they all left at the same time has presented quite the void. I'm having withdrawal from the deafening sound of silence in this house. Once our feet get back on the ground from the joy of the wedding, we'll be able to move on to planning all those travel experiences we will be having. Replacement therapy!
I just keep thinking about how gorgeous Alyssa was, how handsome Greg was, and how happy they and everyone else were. That will have to bridge the gap for me.
