Changing Your Name When You Get Married
I was never the little girl that dreamed about getting married one day. As a matter of fact, I still have zero desire to ever have a wedding. Weddings seem a little cheesy to me, not to mention a waste of money. If marriage meant anything anymore, perhaps I wouldn't feel that way, but with the average divorce rate nearing 50% it's obvious that vowing to be with someone for better or worse is not taken to heart (or, 50% of Americans are liars), so why make such a big deal about getting married? I can think of 1000 other things I would rather spend $20,000 on (the average US couple spends between $14,000 and $43,000 on their wedding!).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bitter old maid (yet...haha...just kidding), I love seeing people get married that are truly in love. And seeing a little old man and women hobble down the street holding hands is probably the cutest thing ever.
Any how, I'm totally getting off topic here! Along with not ever "dreaming" about getting married, I never wanted to change my name. It seems strange to me that a women loses her identity as soon as she gets married. BUT, that all changed when I met Stefan. Ever since we started dating I couldn't wait to become Summer Rest :). Now that is a great name...haha
Thanks to Conner that took the picture above. He found Summer Rest Road in North Carolina.
