Jane Deaux and Sally Walker are married.
Will their last name read Deaux-Walker or Walker-Deaux?
Jim Doe and John Foe are married.
How will their last name read? Doe-Foe or Foe-Doe?
How is that determined? 
I'm serious! I am really curious. I'm not being funny.

The same sex couples I know who've gotten married in the bay area have just each kept their own names. However, that's probably b/c they're all established in their careers. I think it's similar to the way that know married heterosexual women can decide if they would like to change their name to their husbands, or keep their own name.
