First things first: CONGRATULATIONS! 🥂
You said “I do,” exchanged vows, and danced the night away surrounded by the people you love most. Whether it’s been a few days or a few weeks since your wedding, we want to pause and celebrate what just happened:
You began your forever. đź’Ť
As the confetti settles, the florals fade, and your photos start rolling in, you might be wondering: Now what?
At Amazing Graze Events, we walk closely with couples through the wedding planning season—but we also believe the real journey begins after the aisle. So here’s a little guidance, encouragement, and love as you step into this next chapter.
1. Soak It All In
You just experienced one of the most sacred and joy-filled moments of your life. Don’t rush into the “next thing” too fast. Reflect on your wedding day. Look through your photos. Talk about your favorite moments. Share your memories with loved ones. Laugh at the bloopers. Cry at the vows (again).
Give yourself permission to just be married.
2. Send Those Thank You Cards
It may not be the most glamorous task, but expressing gratitude is such a beautiful habit to start your marriage with. Set aside an evening or two, light a candle, put on worship music or your wedding playlist, and start writing.
Tip: Divide the list with your spouse—it’s more fun and meaningful to do it together.
3. Update Legal Details (As Needed)
If you’re changing your name or updating marital status, now’s the time to check off those post-wedding to-do’s:
Social Security card
Driver’s license
Bank accounts and credit cards
Insurance policies
Emergency contacts
It’s not the most romantic part of getting married—but it helps life run smoother down the road.
4. Plan Your Newlywed Routine
The wedding is over, but your story is just beginning. Take time to talk about your shared rhythms as a married couple:
How will you spend time with God together?
What will your daily/weekly routines look like?
How will you continue to date each other and grow your love?
Your marriage will thrive when it’s rooted in intentionality and faith.
5. Create a Home That Reflects Both of You
Whether you’re moving into a new home or merging spaces, have fun making it yours. Blend your styles, hang your favorite wedding photo, display a verse that anchors your marriage.
Your home doesn’t have to be Pinterest-perfect—it just needs to be a safe space where love, grace, and laughter live.
6. Stay Grounded in Community
Marriage isn’t meant to be done alone. Stay close to your church, your mentors, and your married friends. Seek out couples who have walked before you, and don’t be afraid to ask for guidance or encouragement when needed.
Marriage is a gift—but it’s also a growing process. Having wise voices around you makes all the difference.
7. Keep Celebrating the Covenant
Your wedding was one day. Your marriage is for a lifetime. Keep finding ways to celebrate the covenant you made before God:
Revisit your vows
Start a prayer journal together
Mark each anniversary with intention
Speak blessings over your marriage regularly
This love is sacred. Keep treating it that way.
Final Thoughts
To all our spring and summer newlyweds—we’re cheering for you. Your wedding was a beautiful beginning, but what’s ahead is even greater. You’ve planted seeds of promise, and now it’s time to water them with grace, faith, and intentional love.
We’re honored to have been a part of your special day—and we’re praying for your journey ahead. 💛
From all of us at Amazing Graze Events—congrats again, and welcome to forever.
