it's not like i had this notion post-marriage.i had this view about surnames right from my schooldays.never understood why my cousins made such a fuss about fixing their husband's names to theirs.and i'd made a promise to myself that if ever i had to go thru this,i'd NEVER change my name.i mean,changing names does nothing to improve or degrade the quality of the life you spend with each other.then why all the hullabaloo?i don't get it!

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
