She probably was just used to it! One of our friends actually (as a joke) addressed a letter to us as Dr. and Mr. AOII Angel! I thought that was pretty funny. I really don't care if people call me Dr. I do go by my maiden name professionally (it's really hard not to if you graduated before marrying) and my married name personally. If I get something from people who don't know me, I don't get offended, but friends and family should know better.
