I am marrying my long time best friend in July. It will be second marriages for both of us and we have lived together for 20 years. I am 50 and he is 59.
Not sure if all of that is relevant How many brides still take their husband's name? Is that still the norm?
Hmmm. I think pretty much anything goes regarding changing names when marrying. I think among younger, first time brides taking husbands name is still mostly the norm (but not exclusively so). Among second marriages between older or professionally established brides, I'd guess it's more common to keep (at least socially/professionally if not legally) their names. Also if there are minor children involved a woman marrying for the second time might keep the same last name as her children.
Thanks. I just can't decide. All children are grown but having the same name would make it easier for medical issues etc. as we get older. IDK…my name is so easy, lol. His I have to spell every time.

Congratulations. What day? We are July 7. Mike picked it so he wouldn't forget anniversaries, lol. 7-7-17
Yes I think most women do change their name….if only his wasn't hard to pronounce and spell, lol. I tried to get him to take mine. That would be so much easier.
