korafoxPossibly one of the more aggravating things about Husband having a very large family is that we are going to spend the next twenty years attending cousins' weddings. The aggravating part not being the weddings themselves, but the fact that apparently despite his family being the small-towniest people who ever lived, they can't fricking pass the message that I DIDN'T CHANGE MY NAME.
Extra snark for the save the date card that just arrived, which was addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Hisfirstname Hislastname". I don't even get to keep my first name now apparently.
(One, count it one, cousin has so far gotten this right without needing correction, but they are on the other side of Husband's family. Although they did misspell my last name on the invitation. But it's the thought that counts.)
I mean, seriously, you all were at our wedding. Did you not pay attention to the part at the end where the priest announced our names separately, preserving both our last names? Is this some sort of passive-aggressive values judgment, or just cluelessness?
It is a small thing but it is MY NAME dammit. Names are important.
