Mrs Tigglebottom, if you please.

Just a quick update.

Back from our honeymoon, which involved staying at a hotel where rooms cost as much per day as some peoples' rent per month. [obviously we didn't pay for it.]
Had a dinner on saturday night [treat from husband] that cost as much as a weekly trip to the grocery store. Ever walk into a room and KNOW that you don't belong there? That was this place. It was lovely, delicious, and ultimately satisfying once i relaxed, but soooo weird.

So yes, the weekend = decadence. We were honeymooned and dined without wine. We hid out in the mountains of Asheville for a weekend and lived a life that isn't ours, and it was a lovely vacation... but I'm glad to be back to being Xiane again, living my little life in my new apartment with my Rob.

Today I need to go attempt to buy some furniture. Wheee. I dunno where to really look, so this is yet another adventure.

PS - I saw that I missed a few birthdays!
anathemadevice, thekdog,laggardluminati, ladylizbet, and hindupez - I wish I could have celebrated with all of you, but I hope your special day was the best ever. I'm sorry that I was a little preoccupied... ;)


PPS - for my married friends - how long did it take you to get used to referring to your partner as husband/wife? I feel like I'm going to giggle every time I say it! [even worse when I'm referred to as a wife!]

congratulations!

i started right off with "my wife, L..." I try to always use her name so that i identify her as a person. With people who know her, I just use her name.

Thank you sweetie! Glad you had a fabulous honeymoon :) *wink*

It took ages! LOL! I still stumble, and we celebrated our 4th anniv in October, so it will take a little while. I think the problem is that my name just shortened, K's surname was mine, without my "ing" so I had to keep stopping myself in what seemed like mid sentence.

It's a good feeling though...

I still have problems calling Matt "my husband"

[jukebox-heroine.livejournal.com]

I call him Dad.

A hearty congratulations to you two! :) :) :)

It only took me about a week or so to get adjusted to the terminology.

Glad you had a wonderful honeymoon! Nothing better than being treated to a little bit of decandance (sp).

As for the husband/wife thing. I'm trying to remember how long it took. Probably about a few weeks. After I went and got my name changed on my license and applied for a new social security card with my married name it kind of took hold. I saw it is more difficult now not referring to him as my husband considering we are seperated and going through divorce. That is more of an adjustment then when we got married. I doubt very much you will have that problem. And I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

*hugs*

Dean and I have been practicing. At one point I said, "Hi, Mr. Mosher," and he said, "Hi, Mrs. Mosher," and we spent the rest of the night be googly giggly about it in a "we're really engaged" sort of way.

I can't remember if I ever got used to having a husband when I was married before, but then I never got the hang of being a wife.

[nocturnaleye.livejournal.com]

Haha..go ahead and be giggly about it. Your a newlywed after all. :)

Yummy honeymoon decadence... Memories...

I really don't know if ez_mo still giggles internally when I refer to her as my wife. At least she doesn't show it anymore.

Maybe a year? Don't really know, it just happens gradually and suddenly you realize it doesn't feel that ridiculous anymore.

much congratulations and love and well wished being sent to you and your boylove!

Yay!

We'd been jokingly calling each other "wife" for ages, so that was pretty normal right off the bat. I had to remember to use "husband" instead of fiance/boyfriend for a while, but it wasn't too weird... the only time I hesitate is on my dollfandomforums, as I was used to saying "these ones are my boyfriend's dolls." (I think part of it may be that I want to make sure I portray myself as one of the younger-fashionable-anime-generation who go to cons and dress up together, and not the 50 year old doll ladies with "hubbies" detached from their geeky hobbies.) When I can, I still just refer to him as "Cory," anyway.

FIRST OF ALL, congrats on what was inevitable as you two are so suited & so ridiculously happy; but entirely worth celebrating. your honeymoon sounds perfect, photos, hmmm?


gregjaw still slips and calls me "girlfriend", which impressed his co-workers and gave him the reputation as a "fast worker." i'm fine with that, and i don't care if he ever changes his myspace profile to match his true status, as i know that world ain't right. when we call each other "husband" & "wife" it is *very* special and supersexy. walking through customs together as a "family" is especially cool, second only to the pleasure of getting on the phone with someone to give them hell on the behalf of you husband/wife as MR/S so&so. g loves watching me take ppl apart for him, as he is usually the brute force in our relationship.

I still giggle when I suddenly realize that boy is my husband.

I think this year is the first that I've really stopped being startled when telling *other* people he's my husband.

Congratulations sweetie. I'm so happy for you both. :) I wish we were closer and I could go furniture shopping with you.

[jukebox-heroine.livejournal.com]

I'll call ya Mrs., but I don't think I can say 'Tigglebottom'. I dunno...hahahaha. :)

[oberstgreup.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to both of you!

Didn't take more than a week or two to get used to saying "wife". It's a pretty natural progression from "fiancee", after all. I think "fiancee" was a weirder verbal adjustment because it sounded so formal.

dude, i pretty much already refer to Meghan as my wife! it's probably overstepping some relationship boundary, but when has something like THAT ever bothered me?

[trifle.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!!

The husband/wife thing, I'm still getting used to it, 8 months in. One of *my husband's* co-workers took him aside and told him that he needs to stop calling me his girlfriend, as people will get confused and think he has a mistress. I kind of like the idea of being his mistress as well as his wife, so it's all good. My big issue is I hate HATE hate "Mrs." Can not stand it being applied to me. Sure, I changed my last name, but I refuse to be a "Mrs." Blech.

Im glad you had a good time!!!

[laggardluminati.livejournal.com]

thanks, Mrs!

[hindupez.livejournal.com]

thank you, thank you!

Is it just me, or are birthdays after you turn 21 just not as exciting?

[seeliespright.livejournal.com]

And now you're a Mrs. *chortle*
