This irritates me so much

Local all-boys high school on FB posted pictures of 3 past pupils of theirs, who had just got married to congratulate them, which is obviously a lovely thing to do!

This is where a got pssed off though. The post laid out the 3 couples names as "Mr and Mrs man's name & man's surname".

Why is the woman's identity completely gone, not only her surname, but also she's presumably now taken on her husbands first name! I just don't understand it to be honest. I just know that, if it were me, I would be upset at someone referring to me as my husband forename and surname. I haven't just morphed into him upon marrying him 😂

It's the formal way to address a married couple. Can't say it would bother me in this instance
It WAS the formal way to address a married couple. It's not anymore.
