I do have a question to all the girls out there who hate the idea of taking their husbands last name. If you keep your own and then you and your husband have children, whos last name will they get? Wont that be a pain to go around with teachers and people unsure of what name to call you. I know I kept my real fathers name and my mom eventually got remarried so theyd always call my mom mrs h (my last name) and she corrected them. Isnt that sort of a pain in the butt and if you did get a divorce would you make your children pick which last name they wanted?

In that sense, I am a family girl. I want my children to have the same last name as me and their father. When I got married I took his last name because I felt it was like we were becoming one, together, and we were becoming our own little family, so I wanted us to have the same last names. He probably would have said he didnt care if I didnt take his, though I think secretly hed be hurt. I just feel like we are saying that we love each other and we are not going to worry about what happens if someone dies or a divorce for now we love each other and we are happy to be with each other and love each other and we want to be a family. I want my children to have that same last name so we are all a nice big happy family.

I know it may sound corny and I know everyone is very independant these days, but for me, I feel like I love my hubby so much and I want to be a part of him and I want to show the world how much we love each other by putting mr and mrs p all over the place. I have the towels, the welcome sign, the checks with our names, I have it all. I know it doesnt mean you dont love your hubby any less if you dont take his name at all! I just knew I wanted his last name as mine when he first proposed to me.
