I'm not quite sure how long you get to keep the "newlywed" title. I had always thought that you could get away with that one for a couple of years at least. I fully intend to, mostly because I don't want to have to think up a new name for my blog (the horror), but also it is such an incredibly fun stage and I want to make it last as long as possible. Every once and a while you see those couples who have been married for 20 years that still tickle and laugh and are completely in love. And when you have to watch those couples its disgusting, to be one of those couples is A-MAZ-ING.
However, there does seem to be an argument that you can only call yourself a newlywed for a few short weeks which came up at work yesterday around the lunch table. The gals were talking about how long they knew their significant others before they got married and a co-worker turned to me and asked, "So how long have you been married now?"
"Five months."
"Well you are almost still a newlywed then huh?"
And I thought, "ALMOST? Woman, I still have the nail polish on my toes from the pedicure I got the week before my wedding." Which to me either means I seriously need to pay more attention to my grooming or I can definitely still count myself among the newlywed. I vote for the latter. Perhaps once that last remnant of mauve polish flakes off, I'll reconsider but for now I'm keeping my title.
Alright ladies, opinion time: How long can you call yourself a newlywed?

Well, I always thought it would be for a full year. But I still get called a newlywed all the time, and we got married in December of 2007!
I'm of the mindset that you are a newlywed until you stop acting like those couples we all think are disgusting. Usually 1 to 2 years. You are definitely still a newlywed. I'm going to call myself one for at least a year and probably more like 2. :)
I agree with the first two, I definitely think at least a year. Because really, when you compare twelve months to 25 years... that's just the beginning.
Ladies-
1) Thank you for reassuring me that I AM NOT crazy and that I have at least 7 more months of newlyweddedness ahead of me.
2) Thank you for also not mentioning that I should probably just buy some nail polish and bit the bullet because ITS BEEN 5 MONTHS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
3)All the comments made me happy and loved because Yeah! People read my blog :)
You are awesome and I'm sorry I don't see more of all of you.
