I don't like my face in my wedding photos and I feel so guilty

Essentially the title. I had the BEST time at my wedding, almost everything went as planned, except minor details, I genuinely had soooo much fun, so much love, no drama, hubby is amazing and we laughed so much. But I hate my face in the photos. It's puffy and the makeup didn't fully suit me and I didn't realise. I was a tired and after a long week of stress, my period started the next day... It depuffed later in the day but in my otherwise gorgeous ceremony photos I don't like my face. And I hate myself for it. I don't usually dress up or put a lot of makeup on, but I put so much effort and money into this wedding and I don't feel the joy I should when I look at those photos. I feel mean and ungrateful and sad because this was the one event in my life when I really cared how I looked, everyone tells me I was beautiful and I just...don't fully feel it. It's so heartbreaking and I feel shallow and I dont feel I can truly say it out loud...
