That’s weird... Spaniards don’t change their last name... I think they legally did away with it...

That's kind of shitty... Is like defaulting the honor of your doctorate to your husband... You worked for that shut

TBF, I kind of understand parents using your “proper” name, but I also get everything else you said. ❤️️

How about using his name socially, but keeping yours legally?

I agree, but Americans mock ltinos for having “too many names”.. Like, literally just one more than muricans...

lOl. I think you meant “ColOmbian”

That's how people do it in Spain, mom of the groom or both parents walk the groom too... But the walking and giving away the bride is the big deal

I’ll actually give him a couple cookie points that at least he seems truthful with the whole “unit” thing rather than using that as an excuse for making you change yours

Uggh!! I told my SO that if we get married, he’s the only one allowed to call me Mrs. His name. I’m not changing my name, but because we live together, people already send us mail where they default to his name. TBF, is mostly been for like his friends’ engagement/wedding parties, and their families know him, while…

OMG! At first, I interpreted this to mean you were siding with her in-laws, like “if you marry my family and don’t want my name, I’d pick random names”.. lOl...

I feel like of I took my SO’s name, MY family would be like “so what’s wrong with our name?”

Honestly.. Given the fact that now everything is typed in a computer, you’d think that it would be easier to just accept “weird” characters in forms

Military types are ... so... Ahem... Traditionalists... Just out of curiosity, why does he have to fill out paperwork? Insurance?

But actually... A lot of other countries have 2 surnames, so it would actually be weirder to have just one. In fact, b4 coming to Murica, I would have assumed that 2 people with the same surname were siblings rather than spouses

When your kid grows up, they can choose which name to keep from each parent for their own kids. That's like 20 years from now...

So, because I’m hispanic, I have 2 surnames. People often confuse my first surname(my dad’s of course) as a middle name, and call me by my mom’s name. Either that, or they hyphenate it. It’s like people can’t deal with it. The only time I’ve ever caved to using my SO’s name was at the gym: we wouldn’t get a couple’s…

As a non-American, it boggles my mind that this is such a big deal, and that as you say “just taking the dude’s name is mainstream”.

Yeah.. But that dress would've looked much more glorious in red...

TBF, I’m from South America and the gentleman behavior is a big deal. Like.. When I was a kid, my dad would make me open doors for women and wait for them to walk inside some place. My American boyfriend is totally clueless when it comes to opening doors or chairs.. When we hangout with hispanics(not often in this…

It reminds me of how when I was a kid, I was told not to frown or my face would stay like that.. Basically, never be anything other than pretty
