Sooo...I was just told....

that I shouldn't have gotten married because I didn't take my husband's name outright....

Um okay....whatever...I know some people really think hyphenating is silly and that is fine...but to tell me in so many words that I shouldn't have gotten married because I won't bow down to the archaic tradition of taking his last name is just asinine. I know it is all an opinion thing but not having his last name at all or adding it by hyphenating doesn't make us girls any less married then those who take the last name.

It was a really difficult decision for me on what I wanted....I wanted his last name and he wanted me to take it...but it also didn't feel right to me...I love my last name....it is me and I look up to my mother....and she and my father have been married for 25+ years and she didn't take his last name...so I knew that having his last name outright wasn't a determining factor for a happy marriage.

At first B wasn't happy about it, but I think he came around when he saw how happy it made me and I think because he found out the kids would get his last name and my last name as one of their middle names...but really
