>>158882645I made a few threads 2 years ago before I got married. My wedding was right around the corner, and I'd never once even questioned whether my wife would take my name. I just assumed so, but she never said a word about it. She never did that girly thing where she says it in a dreamy way, imagining the future, or whatever. So a couple weeks out, I made some threads because I was genuinely panicking about what to do if she said she didn't want to do it.
I took the advice of anons here (which I kinda already knew), and decided that if she said she didn't want to take my name, I'd call the wedding off.
I found an opportune time, and I just asked "so, with the wedding coming up and all, how do you feel about being [her first name][my last name]? She was like "oh, awesome, anon. I love your last name. I'm really happy that we'll be a family with a family name!"
I don't know why I panicked so much, but it was great to be reminded that my wife isn't affected by all this feminist claptrap going around lately. I guess I already knew that, but it's good to get reminders sometimes.
Also, fuck you mods. Stop moving threads that have 100+ responses. If you're going to declare something OT, maybe consider doing so before it starts getting tons of replies.
