    I'm a very traditional bride.  Actually, I'm just a very traditional person. I like that I'm younger than my FI, I like that I'm shorter than him too.   I like that he makes more money than me.  I like to stay home and clean, and I don't think he's done a load of laundry, or cooked dinner since we've been dating.

     

    (sick, right?)  But I was raised that way, as was he.   We love things this way.

     

    Well, ready for my wild, feminist, move?

     

    I'm keeping my last name!  I'm not even hypenating it.  I'm just staying...me.    And I'm so happy.    I'm SURE that one day I will be ready to change my name, and I will gladly go through the motions at that point.   But changing my name gave me a great deal of sadness...and I'm just not ready yet.

     

    YIPPPPPIE, I get to be myself...still!

     

     

    **I'd like to add that I'm not going to be crazy about it.  I realize this thing is confusing for others.   If someone in my personal life calls me Mrs.____   I won't correct them and be a nazi about it!

    Good for you for doing something that makes you happy! I am seriously considering keeping my last name too, because my initials spell my daddy's middle name. Not so sure I wanna give that up :)

    Ha, I love the way you write.  Glad you are happy.  I'm traditional too :-)  But I'm taking his name, it's easier to spell hehe.

    I thought about keeping mine but I really love having it as a middle name, since I have never had one before! Good for you for doing what makes you happy.
