Getting married- ? do I change my name

[SheFly]

Huh?
Tradition and marriage, heh. This could send us down a very slippery slope here...

I despise tradition.

It could - but I was ONLY referring to why taking his last name when we felt part of a team - not the entire insitution of marriage .

Surprisingly, I'm not usually one to defer to tradition either. I don't despise it, but don't tend to follow it too closely. I guess that like GLC, a better answer would have been that it never occurred to me to ask him to take my name either....
