If and when I ever get married, the name thing will be more of a dilemma for me. I had always thought that my name would be Vortex MaidenName HusbandName. I would be known professionally by all three names, but technically would be Vortex HusbandName. I liked the symbolism of the change, and with the idea of forming a distinct family unit with the new husband. But, between my bro changing his name (y'all may have chosen to forget that drama) and my dad being gone, I have a much bigger attachment to my current surname.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have been rather looking forward to a new surname - the current one being both common and that of a commonly imbibed beer, but I find that the new surname on offer is pretty much just as common (at least it is here in Minnesota) and I am not entirely certain I can be arsed to bother with getting all new paperwork and stuff. We'll see.
But if Daniel will go for Pond for both of us, I'll do it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm kind of attached to my names because all together the meanings serve as a plot summary of Princess Bride.

Vortex, I always giggle when I think of your brother and the name change. So bizarre.

Regardless of what name I choose, today is the fun part of wedding planning: we get to taste cupcakes after work!

I am intrigued! I know your first name means "princess"...

I have no cupcakes in my future today. oh woes! But I do have half an avocado to look forward to.

I do have avocado in my healthy lunch.
But it's not a cupcake. (I seriously want that frosting SO BAD. I have to keep telling myself, "Self, you only have to wait until 6:00 for cupcakes. Be a grown-up!" And, as 6:00 gets closer and closer, it gets harder and harder to wait. SUCH AGONY, I TELL YOU.)
