Opinions: How long are you the "bride"

Great question... I say until one of the straps breaks! Live it up as long as you can!

I saw some cute ones and I was wondering the same thing. lol I agree with Mrs_Mikec

I started using it the day after xmas and I'll use it thru my mini-moon the weekend-of and until all my OOT guests leave. Then I'll break it back out in May for my official honeymoon I think.

From engagement until you are separated by death. When Adam proposed, I made him promise that in 40 years, he would still refer to me as his bride! It's a super Southern thing to do, but I love it so much. A lot of my house members will say "have you seen my bride anywhere?" I just melt a little bit!

Technically, you stop being "the bride" as soon as you are married-- then you are "the wife" But who cares-- its a tote bag! Use it as long as you like (and when you're done with it, maybe PIF?)

Here, people are super stingy about the bride thing. You're only the bride the month before the wedding and then on your honeymooon (which is often later due to $&dollar.

the whole engagement? People would look at me funny even though I agree!

that is cute @gamecox, never heard of that!

Under Jewish law, you're a bride for a year after you are married. (A bride gets an exemption from certain of the laws regarding Yom Kippur.) So if anyone asks, tell them you're a real traditionalist, and are following Jewish law on the subject. ;-)

I say your a bride from engagement to end of honeymoon.

@gamecox love that.

I love what gamecox said that's so cute!

Thanks y'all. I sign little notes to FH as "your bride" or "the future Mrs. A" a lot. . Just love it!

I am with MRS_Mikec, I would use it until a strap breaks and I can't use it anymore.

I say you're technically a bride until you return from your honeymoon. But you are a bride to your husband forever so carry on!

Friends of my dads have been married for 40 years and he still calls her "My Bride". I think it is adorable.

I say the week leading up to the wedding and through the honeymoon, but I'm shy and don't like all the attention lol

I like 2nd bride's answer even if I am a Christian lol

FH has a friend from church who calls his wife his "bride" and they've been married for 30 years. It's way cute. FH told me he's going to refer to me the same way. Love it.

Keep that tote bag as long as you want. You will be your husband's bride forever, like Gamecox said.

Girl, you will always be his bride! Besides, it's a bag!

Oh it's a bag-- rock it as long as you want but especially on your honeymoon!!

Now, if you had asked "how long can I go around making people do my bidding because I'm the bride damn it" it would be a totally different answer

It is a bag use it as long as you like/can. You will always be his bride. I agree with Lori on the bidding part.
