So, I was returning some wedding gifts the other day - well, consolidating, let''s say! - and the saleswoman asked me when the "big day" was and I said it already "was" in August and she exclaimed, "Oh! So you''re a new bride! What a wonderful time!" And that got me wondering...how long is one allowed to be "a bride" for, exactly? I had to go away for nearly 6 weeks after only two weeks of being married and I feel like I missed the "new bride boat" but now I''m thinking there''s still time to re-coup that "new bride smell" - as it were (wow, that was a poor choice of words, wasn''t it?!) So seriously, how long can one be considered a "new bride" or a "newlywed"? Is it a few months after the wedding? One year? For the rest of your life? What?!? Inquiring minds want to know...
