I love Ikea. I need to go there actually to get new glasses. The last time I was there I bought a ridiculous number of cheap yet sassy juice glasses, and we have managed to break all but 6 or 7 of them.
Emmett is just fabulous, right down to having two middle names. (DH has two middle names, too. One of them is David!)
Okay, okay -- it's not an acronym. You don't mean "Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd" when you say IKEA.

Dude, we're probably related! Invite me to your anniversary party.
The best solution I ever heard to this was a couple who held a big bride's side vs. groom's side softball game on the morning of the wedding, loser takes winner's name.
Love this!
It helps that most Scandinavian-American family names were assigned at Ellis Island, and therefore don’t have much history attached to them.
I thought that was an urban legend.
Raisins, dates or dried cranberries go in oatmeal cookies. No chocolate. I like chocolate by itself or as something unabashedly chocolate, such as brownies. There should be no chocolate chips in muffins, bagels or bread.
have a money tree/bag/pin money on the bride (although this I might've liked),
A tradition I'd love to embrace -- but I'd need a groom of an appropriate ethnicity or it just looks greedy.
(And back to the Redbook article....)
Why does he love quickies so much?
Seriously? Why is this even a question? What's not to love?
Oatmeal cookie dough is delicious! And it's got oatmeal -- so nutritious too . . .. right?
Tolkien's granddaughter likes the LotR musical.

Of course not, that would be silly. When I say IKEA, I mean: "I Know Everything, Always".
That has nothing to do with the store, though. I just have an enormous brain. Seriously, I don't know what to do with this thing. My head is permamently lopsided, it's so heavy.
My question for the children with both names-- which is their children's name?
I don't know about everywhere, but at least in most S. American countries, the kids get the father's first last name and then the Mother's first last name. So if Joe Smith Wilkes marries Jane Jones Roberts, then their kid becomes Bobby Smith Jones. Then if Bobby Smith Jones marries Sarah Jenkins Walnut, their kids still just take the father's first last name and the mother's first last name, not both. So their kid becomes James Smith Jenkins. So it is the male family name that continues down the line, the mother's family name is lost once it reaches the grandkids.
