Met my husband in August of 1992 - he was 18, I was 17. Married him on February 7th, 1998. Still very happy.

Coming up on our 6th anniversary, and 2+ years before that. We need to make sure to celebrate for real this year, we did absolutely nothing last year because we were broke.

Yes. I was comfortable with it either way. It was her choice.

I hadn't taken my husband's last name until just about a month ago. I finally grew tired of spelling that long German maiden name.

I'm really on the cusp here. Our 26th anniversary is this summer. Counting our engagement and dating, we're really close to 30. It depends on the definition of 'been with'.

I once went to school with a girl who had a really long German last name. She was class secretary and once misspelled her own name on the meeting minutes.

A while back I heard Kevin Smith's podcast (of Clerks, Mallrats, Dogmas, etc. fame). His wife Jennifer was on it with him, and she mentioned she could never figure out whether it was better to keep her maiden name, Schwalbach, which nobody could spell... or change it, and be one of thousands of "Jennifer Smith"s.

My thirst grade teacher was Mrs. Schwartzentruber. She was a mean old bitch and made everyone learn how to spell her stupid name on the first day of school.
Jim had her for 3rd grade too, and she used to dump his messy desk out all over the floor. She was big into public humiliation.

I kept my name. It was more a case of "why should I change my name -- I'm still the same person I was yesterday!"

I had a friend with a typical last name as a given name and a typical given name as a last name. It was always fun listening to him try to explain it to whomever was on the other end of the phone.

I worked with a guy whos last name was Stanislaskuzava.
"How do you spell that?" "It's spelled just like it sounds."
