oh, and the important bit -
Congratulations on your wedding day!!!!!!
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I love my name and really didn't even consider changing it. To Shir's point though, my grandmother and great aunt aren't really down with that and are often writing checks for Nora W. Which occasionally is a PITA, but not too much, since we have a joint checking account.

Happy, happy wedding day, Erin!
If I remarried, I'd keep my maiden name. It was a PITA to change back to it after I got divorced. The Navy lost the paperwork twice and it took eight damn months to get it straight. I had a new SS card in just weeks, but I had to wait for the fripping Navy to get it right before I could go buy all new dungaree uniform shirts and pants to put my name on.

Being queer it's even more of a thing...both keep names? Find a new name together? She takes mine? I take hers? (Of course, FIND a girl first...). I like the idea of having the same name since it's more of a "we can has family!" signifier, but...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yes, various relatives of ours still write checks to me with the husband's last name. People are just stubborn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy marry day, Erin!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Happy day, Erin! Can't wait to see pictures.
You'll be happy to hear that the drunk (and horny) texting eventually ceased and he did not show up at my house (or if he did, he respected the lights being off and did not knock). Here's hoping there will be no further communication.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Being queer it's even more of a thing...both keep names? Find a new name together?
My friends who got married in October (legally, even! in Iowa!), hyphenate their last names and they are both J-T.
I'm fond of my name. I mean, I've been me for 42 years. It's plain and simple and 10 million other people have it, but it's mine.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
HAPPY WEDDING DAY, ERIN! Can't wait to see pictures of the gorgeous bride, and the handsome groom, and the beautiful day!
