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.

HAPPY WEDDING DAY, ERIN! Can't wait to see pictures of the gorgeous bride, and the handsome groom, and the beautiful day!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Happy day, Erin!

When I got married we both changed our names, and kept the new name after the divorce. I think about going back to my maiden name but it seems like a lot of effort.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Have a fantastic day, Erin!

We're having fun with our recent name change (The Girl's finally changed hers legally now, too). There was TOTAL confusion from friends over why we'd want to change our names (our response: why not?), and even more because we've taken an entirely new name. It's making us happy. I'm totally behind people doing what works for them. Name situations are going to get more interesting as more couples think about them, rather than doing something automatically.

I did debate it mildly for a bit, but I came down to "If I get my Ph.D/ever have anything published, I want to be Dr. Griggs, not Dr. J."

I get that. The Girl is using her 'old' name for professional things, but I haven't decided what I'm doing yet. My little book review's being published as Naomi L- J-, rather than just Naomi J-, so that my colleagues back at my old uni will know it's me. I don't know whether I'll continue with two surnames if I have anything else published, though.

Happiest of wedding days, Erin.

He is the half part of a blessed man
Left to be finished by such as she:
And she a fair divided excellence
Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.

Happiest of weddings, Erin! Looking forward to the pictures!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm planning on hyphenating my last name when we get married. I want to keep my last name because of my dad, but at the same time it would be nice to have a slightly less common surname.
