Would you be offended if your Bride refused to take your last name?

Then, that's settles it. I won't marry a woman who wouldn't take my username. I remember by sister-in-law being interviewed by a show briefly and they aired her name but our surname wasn't even there. i was so upset and so as my moms. i actually felt weird about

I also dont believe there is a law. But to be truthfull i plan on keeping my maiden name..... but before anyone gets upset with me i am going to take his name. i plan on hyphenating it. the reason i am keeping my maiden is because of my father, i was 16 when he passed and my parents distilled in me the values that i use to live my life. they mean alot to me and make me who i am and by "getting" rid of that names makes me feel i am "getting" rid of him. but this is how i feel and dont expect some to understand. But here is one for you, my best frind got married and rather than taking his name the made a new name, they combined parts of both of thier name to make the new one. they started their of history which i think was very cool.

It used to be traditional to take the man's last name. It meant that you were a unit, a couple united under one name and the family you later created would be all one name. While a name doesn't make a family, it does provide a common umbrella. I don't think it's right to have multiple family names, it drives a wedge between people. I could have changed my name after my divorce but I wanted to have the same name as my children. I didn't want them to have to introduce me to their friends or business associates with a last name different from theirs. Maybe that's one reason why Hollywood marriages are so short--there's no commitment, they won't even share a name.

To my knowledge there is no law in the US that says a woman has to take her husband's last name. I once knew a man whose last name was Raper so when he got married he used that as an opportunity to get out from under that name and took his wife's name. A lot of women who are public figures, known by their names, choose to keep their maiden names to keep their recognition. Not just actresses and models but also doctors and lawyers, too. Others choose to hyphenate their name with their husband's name. My boss said its a tradition in her mother's family to not give the daughters in the family a middle name as children and then when they get married their maiden name becomes their middle name so they keep that but also take their husband's name - Sue Brown becomes Sue Brown Smith instead of Sue Marie Brown-Smith.

When a man takes a woman to be his wife, they shall be one flesh. Taking the family name of the man is usually the law of the land in many countries. This signifies the union of two people. It may be a sign of the woman in subjection to the man. I hope that you can find the right answers to your questions. Have a wonderful day and I hope that you will find the right one for you...

About your topic, I do not think that there is a law about taking their groom's last name but I would really be offended if my bride do not take my last name.
