Some lovely friends of mine are planning their CP for Christmas-time. Very, very much looking forward to it.
One of the women involved is planning to change her surname by deed poll to that of her partner after the big day.
They have always been very "feminist" and against the "opression" and "patriarchy" of marriage - we had huge discussions about this 15 years ago when I got married (with the one woman I knew then - who is the one who is planning on changing her name now). TO the extent that if I was getting married today I would keep my own name, but as I have been known as Weegie DHUnusualSurname for 15 years it has become part of who I am and I'm not changing back!
It is her choice and I am totally behind her if that is what she wants to do.
But I did wonder how common it was? I know 4 other CP couples, male and female, and none of them have done so.
Hope you don't mind me asking.
