Hi everyone and welcome to this week's Ask Alice. Now seeing as this is my first Ask Alice post-wedding,

I had a brilliant question come in about how I'm getting over the post wedding blues.

And pre-wedding, I found this thing a really weird phenomenon because I was like,

how can you be down after the best day of your life? I just didn't really understand it and

even though everyone warned me that it was going to happen I was like no that's not going to happen to me I was just so

chilled about the whole thing but speaking from experience now I can tell you that it is definitely a thing.

And I thought firstly I just dig into why I think it's a phenomenon.

I know that there are so many people that are getting married this year or next year or whatever that follow me so I thought

I just kind of dig into why I think it's happened and then I'm going to tell you the things I'm doing

to drag me out of that slightly low place that I've been in I mean it's not been awful but I definitely think that

there's this little lull after your wedding where you're like, oh okay so yeah I think

firstly the reason why I think it happens having now gone it, is I feel that a wedding is so many nice things all at once.

You know, like when I thought about the whole experience of from Friday to Sunday it was like all my favorite people and

marrying the love of my life and doing all the things that I love and seeing my

parents and my siblings and my cousins and my grandparents and you know all the things that you just think your wedding is going to be it's kind of like a culmination of all those amazing lovely moments like rolled into one and that puts you on just such a high. I literally

on the Sunday after my wedding I was like I just feel like I'm like floating on a cloud

and like I'm just so happy and there are so many nice moments that happened

that it almost takes you a few days just for them all to sink in and so when that

starts to wear off and you know life goes back to normal and all that sort of stuff I

can totally now relate to the fact that there is a little bit of a like oh you feel like a little

bit of a deflated balloon just because it was so many nice things at once that at some point you've got to be like, oh, you know, that's now over and it's done.

So I totally get that and I also think that there are some people who grow up dreaming of their wedding day
