who says you have to leave the newlywed status?
true love does go on forever. :)
When you will leave the bathroom door open while doing your business.
I think loving your husband more and more every day is the key :)
Hiiiiii.
I am having conflicting emotions between being happy for you guys and wanting to punch you in the head for being so jealous lol.
I am healthy, promise!!! :D
Oh PS I just want to let you know I have gotten a ton of law students to say "spice" after lots of words. Words that it shouldn't even go after! They are so dumb.... This is all you Lauren!!!!
We are going on 3 years, and we still feel like that. He is your best friend, you still get butterflies. I think you can stay a newlywed as long as you put out the effort.
I'm gonna say something really corny here. Because it's 3am and I can't sleep.
If you believe in the kind of love that goes on forever (and I happen to think you do) then I'd say you're going to be "newlyweds" for at least the next 100 years. Or as long as you'd like. :)
firstly, your eyes look rad in this photo.
secondly, im jealous of yours and tedwards love, gives me something to look forward to.
thirdly, you can be whatever you want to be, newly weds til your 50th anniversary.. :D
You guys are too cute.
It makes me hopeful :)
xox
Aww, this is such a sweet photo.
Yay for love!
Such a cute pic, as long as you like! x
If you want to stay like this forever, and I would if I were you, I would say that you will. Whether you're considered newlyweds or not, I believe you and Ted have enough love to be like this, forever.
I've been married for 5 years and have a 1 year old - my husband and I still feel like newlyweds. Continual courtship is the key!
My mom was visiting a few weeks ago and said, "You two still treat each other like you're newlyweds. You giggle when he walks in the room and blush when he smiles at you. He grins at you like the biggest Cheshire Cat. Your love has to mature at some point. That's going to wear off eventually, you know." I thought that was pretty bleak. We're so in love because we work to stay that way. I think as long as you WANT to be crazy in love, and your spouse does, too, then you work to keep your marriage in that stage. Not that we haven't grown and matured in our love, we have, but I think that it's sad that people think in order to mature in your love with your spouse that you have to stop being all lovey-dovey. That doesn't even make sense.
Cute picture. Love it!
I think it's when your oldest child goes to kindergarten maybe?
You want to stay like that and YOU WILL--because it is so worth it.
First of all... I love the picture! Its great!
Second... I believe you can be newlyweds as long as you like!
I can't wait to be a newlywed! 3 more months! =)
I was wondering the same thing, Lauren! Josh and I just passed our one year mark, but it feels like we've been married forever / it feels like we were married yesterday. Whatever the "status"... it doesn't matter, as long as you strive to be SILLY every day, people will think you are newlyweds at 30 years! Silliness is the key, in my opinion.
Anyone who tells you "It won't last" is jealous and sad because it didn't last for THEM. Don't listen!
BTW, Tedward has gorgeous eyelashes.
Awwww! It will just keep get better and better, I promise!
Ditto! ^ I think anyone can be newlyweds as long as they want to be!
you never have to leave the newlywed status if you ask me. :)
Cute picture. Our anniversary is coming up in October, I was asking myself the same thing the other day. This is a good question technically and mentally. I suppose there could be two answers if you want it that way.... Thats how I would prefer it. Being newly married is fun.
You only get a year, sorry buddy. haha But dont worry it only gets better after that newlywed phase is over :) It is kinda weird but you can sorta feel a difference.
I'm telling you, just keep doing what you do and put each other first! We just passed our 30 year mark I still thrill when I hear his car come home every evening or when he puts his arm around me.The love has only gotten deeper and more intense. You'll be amazed to find you can love him MORE than you already do!
I will always have newlywed eyes for Trent. But once you have kids I don't think other people really view you as newly weds.
adorable stinking picture.
stay a newlywed as long as you damn well please.
and just because you're not "technically" a newlywed. stay in love like this forever and ever. don't get caught up in the day to day, remember what it felt like to fall in love.
i'm not a newlywed myself.... i wish. badly. but hopefully soon. anyways. i want to be in the newly love status when i am 85 and all wrinkly because its the best drug there is.
I think that once you start having kids the newlywed title goes away...I have been married to my sweets for over 5 years and don't have kids and I still feel like a newlywed.
What a lovely photo of the two of you, Lauren! Your love will last - it may change and deepen as you two grow older together. It will always be there, though. I think it's a safe bet that the Teward will always see you as his beautiful bride. And likewise he will always be the dear love you just married. Blessings to you both!
Ohhh La-wren. How I adore your adoration of tEDWARD. Srsly. You make me want to get married when I'm 34 instead of 45 :]
this picture makes me hopeful =]
i've never been in your situation, but i hope that your newlywed status never dies...i can't stand to see marriages that function out of necessity rather than love.
I love my husband with all my heart and it surprises me how much my love grows for him each day. It's a new love and we are "wedded", so I don't think the the newly wed bliss ever goes away, it just becomes a new adventure each day. It just depends on how you look at it :)
It doesn't go away if you don't let it. It only gets better. 10 years later it amazes me to see how much deeper our love have gone.
rock it for eternity! we just had our 5th and it's definately grown over those years. i'd say always try new, fun things together and you'll always feel like a newlywed :)
After your first fight.
I would say for me it was once we were no longer two but three... but I only have my experience to base this off of and at our first anniversary we had a 3 week old baby...
Being a newlywed is great, and I don't think you have to limit how long you will feel that way, but I just have to tell you Lauren, that even though you want it to stay this way, it is still going to get BETTER!
I want to stay like that forever too :) i just got married in April and I LOVE being a newlywed. I like what everyone else has said about always feeling like a newlywed. Because this is seriously the best!
this is presh!
"newlywed" is only a term....
just remember that!
you guys are seriously the cutest couple ever.
oh and ps...i added u to my readers list cuz my blog is private. it says you havent excepted it yet...OR i got the wrong email.... hm.
:)
your love will just grow & change & be that much better! *i promise. for me: it's just gotten better; even when it was so fun i didn't think better was possible...
adorable!
Hubby and I have been married for 4 years and we have a 2 1/2 yr old, and we still consider ourselves "newlyweds." Maybe because both of our parents have been married for 30+ years, so compared to them, we haven't been married that long at all :)
Well, you have forever.... so I'm thinking you're still totally considered newlyweds at least for the next 50 years. Right??
my BF and I have been together 8 years and we still have that spark. for some really lucky people, that feeling never goes away.
Your cuteness makes me jealous.
Never ends <3 Me and my fiance has been together since middle school 10 years...
And i still feel like i just met him yesterday, sparkles and all <3
You and Ted are so cute!
Never ends...ever. I will always feel like this. :)
Presh! :)
If you don't want it to end it never will! And the way you two seem to be I think you're newlywedness will last forever! You are so darling I love how happy you guys are together!
Who ever said the newlywed stage had to end?! I have been married 6 years and have 2 kids, and I still have googly eyes for my love. As long as your spouse comes first in your life, being a newlywed will never fade. Being in love ROCKS!
By the way, I love your blog, it is so funny and cute (I am a new reader)!
It is a small, small world! Hi Lauren, my name is Casey and you will never guess how I came across your blog. So I have an old high school friend named Cara (Kleiner) Blair, and a long time ago I glanced at your cute blog that is a link on her blog list. Well, last November I traveled to CA to see "Twilight" with my cousin and while waiting in line for the movie met an awesome gal named Leigh Ann, who happens be be the creator of "Lulaville", and who also traveled to CA to see "Twilight" with her girlfriends. Lula and I have kept in touch thru blogging, and she just so happened to mention your blog on her most recent post. So of course I had to check it out and as soon as I realized I had seem our blog before thru one of my friend's blogs, I went back and looked thru everyone's to figure out where I had seen you before. Now I am interested in how you know both Lula and Cara. I also wanted to let you know that I think you are super clever and very crafty and that I will enjoy visiting your blog often!
~ I guess it certainly is true what they say about six degrees of separation!
I think being/acting like a newlywed is a state of mind. My parents have been married for over 30 years and they still act like lovebirds. :D
You two are absolutely adorable. :)
You guys are so dang cute!! I think anyone can be newly weds as long as they want to be. It's just a term.
From Sierra:
I have no idea! but I am totally loving this picture of you and Ted!
I don't think you ever have to lose that "newlywed" feeling. After awhile, people no longer refer to you as newlyweds....but it doesn't mean you can't feel like you are :) I still tell people that I "just" got married...and its been over a year lol
Everyone told me it would wear off but it hasn't yet so just stay like that forever!
you too are so stinkin cute together. I don't know when you are no longer "newlyweds" but whether "newlywed" or not. I think adorable couple will always stick!!!
I love looking at pictures of young couples, seeing the happiness in their eyes is my favorite!
People are always surprised Sei and I have been married 8 years and have a billion kids. Don't EVER stop being a newlywed.
Don't try showing up to a 'Young Marrieds" Sunday School class when you have a 4th grader. But until then . . . enjoy being a newlywed!
Not too long ago, as my cute hubby and I were giggling together in the hallway at church, our branch president commented on the fact that we still really like each other and love to be together. He was impressed because he said he doesn't see that too often. Then, he told us to get to class...
PS. We've been married almost 9 years, have 2 crazy little boys, and aren't really even the "young marrieds" anymore. But we certainly do love each other like those cute newlyweds! (probably more, since now we're not just a couple but a family!)
I thought I couldn't love Chad more than I did when we first got married.. But each day.. every year.. through all of our trials, and all of the bliss... I love him more and more. I look forward to growing old with him...
Sappy...but true.
Um hi. You are so pretty.
I have three kids and have been married for 5 years and I still consider myself a newlywed. Maybe its cuz I'm only 23...
Anywho, its all about perspective! Just make it fun all the time and you'll always be a newlywed! :)
you two are adorable. such a great example.
